The superhero organizations of the First Universe suffered an unprecedented blow. Not only relatively "young" forces like the Justice League, but even veteran hero organizations that had fought in World War II, such as the Justice Society, were not spared.
Smaller organizations found it even harder to withstand this storm of public opinion. The Teen Titan, Doom Patrol, Counterattack Alliance, Seven Soldiers of Victory, and even the Ten Gallant Heroes in the distant Eastern Ancient Kingdom all grew increasingly demoralized under its onslaught.
People raised anti-superhero slogans, and their abuse was not confined to the internet. Many even took it upon themselves to visit these hero organizations' bases and pelt them with rotten eggs and tomatoes.
After two weeks, the Teen Titan became the first to buckle under the pressure and announced its dissolution.
The organization itself consisted of teenagers who had yet to develop fully formed worldviews, and its home, Jump City, had already suffered greatly at the hands of a bunch of unreliable superheroes.
Condemnation from local residents, along with evidence of the damage they had "accidentally" inflicted on the city in the past, filled the Teen Titan members with guilt and drove them to close Titan Tower permanently.
Then the Doom Patrol, whose members were comparatively lacking in professional superhero standards, followed suit and disbanded.
The Doom Patrol had been spontaneously formed by a group of misfits with unstable superpowers, including illegally modified humans, people with schizophrenia, and other oddballs. Though these adults had more mature outlooks than the Teen Titan members, public opinion likewise convinced them that they truly lacked the qualities required of superheroes.
When this sentiment spread to the East, the Ten Gallant Heroes swiftly withdrew from public view and went into complete hiding, no longer emerging to involve themselves in worldly affairs.
