Publication history

[edit]

"Absolute Power" is a crossover event published by DC Comics and was released July 3, 2024. The main limited series of four issues is written by Mark Waid and drawn by Dan Mora.[1] During the Dawn of DC initiative, a "Trinity of Evil" was teased,[3] featuring Amanda Waller, leader of A.R.G.U.S., Checkmate and the Suicide Squad, alongside the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, a Silver Age character who was reintroduced in 2022 during the "Failsafe" arc from Batman (vol. 3) #125–130 by Chip Zdarsky and Jorge Jiménez, and the Brainiac Queen, a female variation of Brainiac who was introduced in 2024 during the "House of Brainiac" storyline by Joshua WIlliamson and Rafa Sandoval.[4]

Plot

[edit]

Background

[edit]

In response to recent events involving metahumans, Amanda Waller decides that superpowers, regardless of whether they come from superheroes or supervillains, are too dangerous to be left unchecked. She gains the approval of the Council of Light, a group of clones of Brainiac, to take drastic measures. To achieve her goal, Waller takes over the Hall of Justice, founding the Bureau of Sovereignty to discredit the Justice League and Titans. She additionally coerces Dreamer and Green Arrow to work for her in taking over Gamorra and create an exclusive prison for metahumans.[5]

Meanwhile, in Gotham City, Batman develops the android Failsafe to counter him should he ever go rogue. He creates an army of Amazos before being defeated by Batman and recovered by Waller.

Finally in Metropolis, Brainiac creates the Brainiac Queen as a means to experience the feeling of love he lost during his previous planetary invasions. Her primary functions involve devouring the abilities from the worlds he conquers until she gains her final form. After admitting his last defeat against Superman, Brainiac sends the Queen away, rendering her amnesiac.

After the Brainiac Queen awakens, Waller and Failsafe recruit her to help them complete their agenda and create a group of Amazos dubbed "Task Force VII" to drain the powers of superheroes worldwide.[6]

Main story

[edit]

Issue #1: "Powerless"

[edit]

In Metropolis, a group of robbers attempt to escape using a helicopter. Superman tries to de-escalate the situation, but one of the robbers fires his pistol at Superman, which manages to injure him and causes him to fall from the sky.[7] In Keystone City, 28 hours earlier, Animal Man and Animal Girl land in the park and are met by scared citizens, who proceed to beat Animal Man to near-death. Batman and Robin watch news channels to report on Animal Man's attack and on videos depicting superheroes committing acts of violence and destruction across the globe. Batman deduces the videos are fake, and were created by artificial intelligence to discredit superheroes. In the Hall of Order, Waller reveals to Sargent Steel that the Brainiac Queen created the videos as part of her plan to take down every superhero on the planet due to the heroes having too much power and answering to no one. Failsafe arrives and activates Task Force VII. Back in the present, Superboy and Jon Kent arrive and see Superman injured and falling to the ground. They manage to grab him, but are depowered and captured by Amazo robots. Amanda Waller starts a world-wide broadcast, stating her intention to solve the super-powered being problem permanently. At the same time, the Amazos of Task Force VII consisting of Depth Charge, Global Guardian, Jadestone, Last Son, Paradise Lost, and Velocity attack. They depower and capture the majority of superheroes around the world that includes Wally West, Jay Garrick, Bart Allen, Aquaman, Tempest, the Justice Society of America members Green Lantern, Hawkman, Jade, Jesse Quick, Mister Terrific, Obsidian, and Courtney Whitmore, and the Doom Patrol members Beast Girl II, Elasti-Woman, Negative Man, Robotman around the world. Batman deduces that Waller would not start such an attack if she hadn't already won, and is suddenly attacked by Failsafe. Batman tries to warn the heroes from their secret communication channel, but is intercepted by Green Arrow, who is now working for Waller. He tells Batman that Waller made sure no help would arrive: she brokered a deal with the United Planets to make sure no one arrives on Earth or leaves Earth, along with locking down the Multiverse, the Timestream, and the Microverse, and mocks the heroes by claiming that their power loss is permanent. Meanwhile in an undisclosed location, the Brainiac Queen gives Jon Kent cybernetic enhancements and renders him amnesiac.[8]

Issue #2: "Resistance"

[edit]

The rest of the heroes regroup in the Fortress of Solitude to regain their strength. Waller, Brainiac Queen and Failsafe have taken over the Hall of Justice while trying to find the rest of the resistance. Superman heals from his wound and the rest of the heroes start arguing who should be the lead of the resistance. Nightwing helps calm everyone down and everyone decides Nightwing should be the leader of the resistance. Nightwing asks Batman to find if Amanda Waller has a Mother Box, Superman has to gather allies in the multiverse, Black Canary needs to find out why Green Arrow is working for Waller, and Wonder Woman alongside Robin find out more of Waller's prison. As everyone suits up and gathers weapon, a possessed Jon Kent alongside Brainiac Queen attack them. Brainiac Queen captures Yara Flor, Wonder Girl, and Red Tornado while the rest of Task Force VII arrive. Dreamer arrives, but is disturbed by how callous Amanda Waller is to the heroes. Blue Beetle and Mister Terrific use the Phantom Zone projector to escape and Superman asks the Fortress of Solitude to self-destruct. Wonder Woman and Aquaman destroy the glass dome containing Kandor, which allows the miniature Kryptonians to distract Brainiac Queen long enough for Dreamer to send the rest of the heroes to the Phantom Zone before the Fortress explodes. Brainiac Queen repossesses Jon Kent again while Green Arrow grabs Time Commander's hourglass.[9]

Issue #3: "Last Stand"

[edit]

In Gateway City, Hawkgirl is asking for backup for her and Mammoth as she is attacked by Amazon robots. The rest of the heroes land on Themyscira where Donna Troy and Wonder Woman convince Nubia to seek refuge. Barry Allen manages to get Kryptonite from the Fortress of Solitude, Black Canary and Green Arrow's team have gone out to uncover Green Arrow's motivations, Hal Jordan retrieves Waller's weapons, and Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Robin, and Damian have gone out on their separate missions. Nightwing instructs Aquaman, Blue Beetle, Red Tornado and Yara Flor to go take out John Starr in Amanda Waller's headquarters, Donna Troy and the Amazons defend Themiscyra, and the rest of the heroes will have to save the remaining heroes. Failsafe attacks the Minster of Shanghai, and Brainiac Queen starts absorbing data from the Internet servers. Amanda Waller is enraged that the Amazo robots are gaining morality and sentience and tells Failsafe to initiate a partial reboot. Aquaman's team is attacked by Bizarro, but they quickly dispatch him and find Starr. They are then attacked by Black Alice and Deadeye. During the chaos, one of Aquaman's team members is killed, and Nightwing's forces are spread too thin. Brainiac Queen and Jonathan Kent attack Themiscyra, but with the help of Nightwing, Mister Terrific and Artemis of Bana-Mighdall, Jonathan Kent is freed from Amanda Waller's control. Jonathan Kent defeats Brainiac Queen by showing her that Waller is the true enemy. Batman and Superman arrive and they teleport Brainiac Queen to Pluto by using the Mother Box, with Zatanna reporting that Superman and her unlocked the Dark Paths to enable teleportation, and Batman confronts Starr on how he can return everyone's powers. Meanwhile, Barry Allen is directed by Steve Trevor to head to the basement of Waller's base, and discovers that she is assembling a multiversal army.[10]

Issue 4: "Showdown"

[edit]

The rest of the heroes launch an attack on Amanda Waller's base on Gamorra while Waller's multiversal allies attack Barry. Hal Jordan intervenes, giving Barry time to shut down the gateway. Task Force VII overwhelm the heroes while Nightwing is forced to deal with Failsafe and Waller weakens Jonathan Kent with kryptonite. Batman and Ted Kord meet with John Starr (Time Commander) where they realize the reason why Task Force VII can regenerate is they used Starr's technology to reverse their wounds before they were attacked. Starr plans to override one of the Task Force VII robots with an override from his original hourglass, which will cause a chain reaction that will destroy Task Force VII and return the heroes' stolen powers. Starr and Batman are knocked out before they can use the device, but Green Arrow picks it up and shoots it at one of the robots, shutting down Task Force VII and restoring the heroes' powers. This also causes Failsafe to be deactivated, while Wally West and Jay Garrick combine their willpower with Hal's to hold off the multiversal army. Green Arrow explains that he knew Amanda Waller would not trust him because she had telepaths around her, which is why he had Martian Manhunter put in a telepathic input that will make him believe Amanda Waller's cause until it timed out. Dreamer returns and knocks out Amanda Waller before she can attack Nightwing, and explains how Jon dreamed of her constantly while under Brainiac Queen's control which pulled her into the Dreamscape allowing her to heal from her wounds. Barry is forced to sever their Earth's connection to the rest of the Multiverse to stop Waller's army from coming through, while Waller goes on a rant on how she won by manipulating the world to hate meta humans. Unbeknownst to her, Nightwing had Air Wave record her and broadcast her speech to the rest of the world. Two days later, the world is recovering from Waller's attack with Wally and Jay Garrick confirming that they can not access the Multiverse. It's also revealed that whatever Barry did to separate themselves from the multiverse also severed his connection with the Speed Force. Dreamer locked Amanda Waller's memory of the heroes identities and locations deep within her mind and leaves her alone in her cell in Belle Reve. Green Arrow calls a meeting with Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman at the Secret Sanctuary to explain his actions. They begrudgingly accept his apology, with Batman revealing that while most of the heroes abilities returned, other have mixed up their powers with other heroes. Green Arrow then mentions that this whole event would never have happened if they had been more communicative and never disbanded the Justice League when Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman show him the schematics for the new Watchtower being built.[11][12]

[14] [15] Bruce Wayne convinces Catwoman to help him with his heist, while encountering Black Alice, Bizarro infused with Brainiac's technology, and Deadeye (Amanda Waller's nephew). They escape from them, and realize that cyborg was sensing a Boom tube that is constantly opened and realize the Boom Tube is somewhere else.
