Superman versus Wonder Woman : The Sacrifice Part 4 of 4

[lucky_gamble]

Over a storyline spanning several issues, it's revealed that Maxwell Lord has been taking over Superman's mind (it took him several years to achieve that). The result has made Superman highly suggestive, which ends with Clark taking out the whole Justice League sans-Wonder Woman. The actual story isn't that great but the climax is rather amazing. The following pages only show half of the WWvsSupes fight.





















We all know what Wonder Woman did next. Damn page limits =(

If it's a character trait, then what does that mean? I'm genuinely confused about that, because I've never heard it used that way except in expressions like "So-and-so is being a real trooper."

Anyway, right after I made that other post I remembered another superhero who actually did fight in a war as part of the military: Captain America. And I am a fan of Cap usually, so what I said earlier about not wanting to read a comic about a soldier isn't true after all.

I guess it's because Cap doesn't act like a soldier that I like him. Or maybe it's because he acts like some real life soldiers act. I don't want to seem like I'm generalizing, because not all soldiers will feel this way, but what happens to a lot of people who fight in wars is that they come home and because of their firsthand experiences they are more anti-war than they would be otherwise.

Case in point: it wasn't that long ago that some scans were posted showing the aftermath of "Operation: Galactic Storm".

Iron Man, in that story, wanted to kill the Kree Supreme Intelligence, the villain. He wanted to kill the Supreme Intelligence because it had done something much worse than what Maxwell Lord did here. The Supreme Intelligence had killed billions of Kree.

Cap was dead set against it. And when Iron Man and the Avengers who agreed with him succeeded in executing the Supreme Intelligence, it led to a falling out between Rogers and Stark.

Would it have been more realistic for a former soldier like Cap to rationalize the killing of the Supreme Intelligence? Maybe.

But he didn't, because at heart he's an idealist. He believes there's always a better way, and he always looks for it.

To me, that makes him awesome.

To fans of Wonder Woman as written here, I guess that might make him an idiot, or weak, or whatever.
