Justice League: Generation Lost #15

[sailorlibra]

Four pages from the latest issue of Generation Lost.







So it's pretty clear that Max is not behind Wonder Woman's current circumstances.



They start talking about how it was the death of Wonder Woman at Max's hands that brought about the horrible future and discover that no one knows who she is, except for Booster, Captain Atom, Bea, and Tora.



Bea is probably going to be fine, but it is a nice dramatic moment.

The JLI wouldn't really be sacrificing anything though, considering how many of them want to kill him. Superheroes have to have the other way or they stop really being superheroes. Because superheroes can do anything.

So far, exactly one of them has expressed any desire to kill him. What they would be sacrificing is their own sense of purity and innocence. To me, a hero, super or otherwise, is someone who does what is necessary for a higher good, even if the cost to himself is very high. To me, what Booster is saying here is not at all heroic: he's refusing to do what it obviously necessary to stop Max so that he can sleep easily at night.

Also, they cannot do everything. One of the things they manifestly cannot do is effectively incarcerate Maxwell Lord, or, for that matter, bring about a successful prosecution of Maxwell Lord, or even convince the authorities or the public at large that they aren't criminals and terrorists responsible for the death of a thousand people in Chicago.
