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 =(

It's the nature of his abilities that make him a huge problem.

The Riddler goes back to doing what he's doing? Fine, we can fight that and contain him.

Lord goes back to freely MIND CONTROLLING people? The death count would rack up so fast on his simple whim.

Oh okay, so only villains with high death counts should die, then?

I'm more of a Marvel history guy than a DC history one, so I'll have to use mostly Marvel examples here, but...

-MAGNETO: Sank a submarine, killing everybody on board. Also set off an EMP that deactivated every electronic device on Earth, which undoubtedly killed an awful lot of people relying on those devices.

-KANG: Killed millions of people on the way to conquering Earth.

-DOCTOR OCTOPUS: He tried to kill off most of the Earth's population, and that was just in one story.

-CARNAGE: Just Carnage.

-KINGPIN: I figure that between turf wars and ordering hits on people who won't cooperate with him, he probably kills a person a day on average or something like that.

-MISTER SINISTER: Ordered the Mutant Massacre.

-SABRETOOTH: Happily took part in the Mutant Massacre, and even that enormous pile of bodies was just like, 1% maybe of everybody he's killed over the course of his life?

I could go on. Even if you eliminate the villains who've never killed anybody, or who've only killed one or two people, or a handful, or ten...there would still be lots and lots of villains who present just as much of a threat as Lord did, with past body counts and/or potential future body counts being the measure.

And if you were in the universe they inhabited and had the authority and means to order all of them killed? You'd have a pretty huge body count yourself afterwards.

Yeah, as an ultimate last resort - everyone on that list should be killed if no other option presents itself and the legal system truly couldn't detain them.

Yep, everyone on that list. The body counts they rack up truly shows the necessity of that. It's either innocent lives, or theirs that you have to choose between, the vast majority of the time the innocent lives lose out on that decision.

I don't believe in those idiotic 'send you off to another dimension' punishments which never seem to hold, especially since they're basically cruel and unusual torture,
