Summary
Many versions of theJustice Leaguethroughout the Multiverse are heroes , but some of them are villain . Only one evil translation of the Justice League has sincerely been labeled as the squad ’s bad form by Superman : the Justice Lords .
The understanding why Superman considers theJustice Lords the League ’s on-key oppositesis revealed inJustice League Beyond 2.0#17 by Christos Gage , Dexter Soy , Veronica Gandini , and Saida Temofonte . In this story , Superman tell the account of the Justice Lords to Terry McGinnis , and one of the major points that Superman pee-pee is that the Justice Lords are n’t simply evil opposites of the Justice League .
They once were exactly like the Justice League of DC ’s main continuity and the DC Animated Universe persistence — until one pick leave them down a different course that changed everything . The Justice Lords are n’t vicious opposite of the League : they were just corrupted by their own option .
The Justice League is occasionally home to some of DC ’s darker paladin , but Jon Kent ’s Superman knows how non-white one of them could really be .
Superman Admits that the Justice Lords Aren’t Evil - Just Corrupted
The Justice Lords make out from a world that is very standardised to the DCAU Justice League ’s world . The two have almost the accurate same chronicle — with one major point of convergence when Lex Luthor gets away with slay the Flash . In a cult , Elvis attacks Lex Luthor and kills him for his crime . But this event does n’t turnthe Justice League unadulterated evil , as the morality involved is a bit more complicated than that . Instead of the Justice League becoming irredeemable killers , they become debased . They still want the same matter : to save the world and stop crime . After the decease of Lex , however , they are more belligerent about achieving that destination . This results in barbarous outcomes — like lobotomizing their rogues to neutralize them .
While teams like the Crime Syndicate are true evil interpretation of the Justice League , they ’re missing one vital matter that the Justice Lords have . The Lords are n’t just " evil " edition of the Justice League : they are corrupted variation , which makes them much more sinister . Teams like the Crime Syndicate are polar opposites of the Justice League , which means the Justice League never were or never could be like those characters . Ultraman , for example , has a reversed variation of Superman ’s biology : he can use Kryptonite for vigour and is weaken by sunshine . While these dispute make a neat evil Justice League , there ’s no real menace of the Justice League ever becoming the Crime Syndicate .
The Justice League Could Turn Evil at Any Moment
This is n’t the vitrine for the Justice Lords ; they hold all the same beliefs as the Justice League and even act identically to them right up until they bolt down Luthor . This makes them far more dangerous , since they act as a true cautionary story . They ’re what the Justice League would truly be if they ever went malign . The Justice League is meant to be a idol of merit in the DC Universe , but Justice League member are people — and people are flawed . One human mistake ship this version of the Justice League down a dark path that turn them into the Justice Lords . They are sincerely the corking malefic version of the Justice League — because they are , in fact , theJustice League .
