scans_daily | Injustice Gods Among Us #24 Kalibak Pick A Bad Day To Invade Earth

Superman kills Kalibak and goes talk to Barry vibrating at super speed so not to be interrupted.

When Barry refuse superman plan. He goes into action with getting a small sun boost and then going all around the earth using heat vision and super speed to evaporate the parademon troops.

So what happened, did he nuke the mothership or whatever?

I find it funny and coincidental that the injustice Superman will eventually go off the deep end and get all power crazy cuz man they are just taking that whole "WE DONT KILL EVER" thing and saying "its really kind of stupid/inefficient".

So... Why does the Flash side with the New Regime for 5 years again?

Personally I always found it dumb that DC superhero's still played by vigilante rules(which make perfect sense to me most of the time) during war time. In Marvel once war is declared all bets are off.

I don't like this Wondy, but I do like her costume. Pants, good color balance, a bit 'o armor.

Once again: Why am I supposed to disagree with Superman?

Not really seeing a downside

From:

while i don't disagree with the idea that some times one has to kill (especially in war time) I think i kinda agree with the reasoning sometime. Once you kill (for some people) it becomes easier and easier to rationalize it in other situations. Superman seems too willing to kill. I like old 52 Wonder Woman who did everything in her power to NOT kill, but when other lives were at stake, didn't hesitate for a second to kill.

I've pretty much hated everything about this book, but -- that's a really nice drawing of Wondy, there. It's a good pose, she looks very strong, the size of her waist is almost realistic, and she's rocking that outfit.

Wait... when *don't* they kill Parademons -- I swear every time Parademons come up, weather it be in the comics or in the animated version, they're fodder, and they have implied lethal force used on them.

ALSO - if I was there, in that scene of crumbling Parademon confetti, I'd be holding my breath SO hard.

I'd almost swear this was done to intentionally riff off the general internet opinion on Man of Steel.

I generally don't like superheroes killing in stories, but I have a hard time trying to see why annihilating an army of demonic aliens who are trying to exterminate life on Earth is a bad thing.

I want to punch panel 7 Flash in the face.

From:

I'm just curious... are Parademons generally sentient creatures that Superman would normally even care about killing? I mean, I know we've seen some that are sentient, like in one issue of Azrael and in Secret Six... but by and large, I assumed they were mostly mindless monstrosities that Darkseid somehow spawned whenever he felt the need for an army, and those couple were maybe aberrations.

From:

junipepper

You know, it's as if they decided to have Superman kill off an army of alien invaders, and then got cold feet about it, and then went for some kind of middle ground: We'll have Supes kill those creatures of pure evil that we, um, have all our heros kill every fricking time they show up, but then we'll have the other heroes act all shocked by the cruelty. "Golly, Clark, why didn't you slow down enough to just knock each parademon unconscious, while they were busily trying to exterminate the human race? What is the matter with you?"

Seriously, none of this makes any sense. Except for Wondy's leggings.

From:

sadoeuphemist

I"m going to be contrary here and say I don't think killing in this situation was at all justified. Superman practically stops time so he can debate with the Flash the morality of his actions beforehand. With a sun boost, he flies around the world and single-handedly incinerates the invading army. This is no longer meaningfully a war, or even a challenge. When you're operating at that level, seriously, why not knock them all out and put them all in a giant jar or something. I don't think it would be significantly more impossible.

And Parademons are either supposed to be vat-grown soldiers, or recruited Hunger Dogs or whatever, some of whom have been shown as being capable of developing individual personalities. But most never get a chance because they're citizens in a totalitarian planet-state that systematically breaks their wills and keeps them brutal and mindlessly obedient. They were all forced into being shock troopers for Darkseid, they never had a say in the matter.

While I don't have an issue with the killing of the Parademons, I do have issue with Wondy smiling like it's raining candy.

Especially when in the game 5 years later, she is Clark's mistress and does nothing but get beat up or captured, her regular counterpart preforming barely better.
