Invasion! Homepage

INVASION! was DC’s 1988 crossover event and dealt with an Alien Alliance invading Earth in order to harvest its superheroes and, ultimately, make them the soldiers of the Alliance’s de facto leaders, the Dominators. Probably it’s most longstanding repercussion was the introduction of the meta-gene which was then used as an explanation of how and why some people gained superpowers.
