Mayor Sackett is the former mayor of Metropolis. Sackett was complicit in Dr. Faulkner's government funded program to manufacture an army of supers in order to secure Metropolis as the safest utopia in the world. They selected certain citizens to be unwitting test subjects. Sackett was so delusional, he believed he would be voted "Prime Minister of the World" for taking part in changing Metropolis. Sackett made false promises like when he recruited Bette Sans Souci with a plan for the city to have the cleanest air, purest water, and organic gardens on every rooftop. Years later, Mayor Sackett walked with Bette Sans Souci to S.T.A.R. Labs and told her to have patience. Catwoman overheard them as they passed by. Sans Souci accused him of lying to her then went inside S.T.A.R. Labs. A short time later, there was an explosion at S.T.A.R. Labs. Lois Lane arrived but she was barred entry by Mayor Sackett, who treated her like a little girl. Lane flashed her all access press pass and asked him what the explosion was about.

Sackett only commented it was a lab accident and mockingly told her it was awfully late for a girl to be out alone. Sackett started talking to the police officers posted at the entrance about how he was the best mayor Metropolis ever had. Lane sneaked in behind them. As Batgirl, Bumblebee, Ivy, and Lane stepped outside, Sackett greeted them with Ron Troupe and Jimmy Olsen from the Daily Planet. He wanted a photo op but was surprised Lane was with them. Batgirl stated she was with them. Sackett replied a friend of his favorite super heroes was a friend of his. He asked Lane to scoot over. The Daily Planet published an article quoting Sackett saying it was just an explosion drill. The next day, he found Bumblebee and Supergirl leaving Capes & Cowls Cafe. He informed them Dr. Faulkner was released from the hospital and wanted to thank them. Bumblebee suggested getting Wonder Woman but he countered three super gals was a crowd. Once they got to S.T.A.R. Labs, he directed them to an elevator then pushed a concealed button which took them to a secret lab.

Jimmy Olsen happened to be waiting for the elevator. Sackett told him to go back to the Daily Planet and take care of that "thing." Sackett then revealed to Supergirl and Bumblebee their skills were so impressive, he and Faulkner wanted to invite them to a super hero club they were putting together. Bumblebee was already skeptical of their intentions and questioned how quickly Faulkner recovered from her serious injuries. Faulkner demonstrated her own super powers and transformed into a super strong brute she called Rampage. She withstood Bumblebee's stinger blasts and Supergirl's heat vision then grabbed Supergirl and declared she was a super hero trying to protect Metropolis and save the world but needed super-powered children to finish her plans. She fired liquid Kryptonite on Supergirl while Sackett fired a electromagnetic device to disable Bumblebee's super suit then revealed their project to make the city safe with man-made supers.

Sackett brought Steve Trevor, their next test subject, to the lab. He then addressed the next batch of teenagers chosen elsewhere but Wonder Woman punched a hole through the northern wall. Sackett quickly confessed Faulkner was the mastermind. Catwoman elected to stay behind and keep Sackett detained while the others went to confront Faulkner. Sackett and Faulkner were taken away by the Special Crimes Unit.
