Justice League Vol 2 #23 (October, 2013) |
They are a morally bankrupt world’s answer to the Justice League. Right there that tells you, they don’t respect law, order or justice… or good-old fashioned common sense. They have devastated their own planet in their power grabs and they often come to ours looking for, well… more. They have our powers, they have our personas… they are like a diseased version of us.
