Justice League Vs [SPOILER] Confirms the 1st villain more devastating than Darkseid

Warning: Contains spoilers for Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #31!It takes a lot to stand up to those Justice LeagueAnd normally, it takes all the heroes of DC to come against the dark god of Apokolips, Darkseid himself. But while Darkseid is normally thought of as DC’s main antagonist, there’s someone else who could easily take out the Justice League — and Eclipso Does just that, thereby proving he is on the same level as Darkseid.

For the best DC team there is, the Justice League still gets absolutely decimated by Eclipso in a matter of panels in Batman/Superman: The World’s Finest #31 by Mark Waid, Adrián Gutiérrez, Tamra Bonvillain and Steve Wands. In the more formative years of the Justice League, Eclipso is unleashed from his black diamond prison and re-possesses the body of his original hostBruce Gordon. What follows is an onslaught the Justice League just isn’t prepared for.

Eclipso makes quick work of the Justice League by pitting them against each other and then easily outmatching both Batman and Superman. Darkseid has far too many dark plans that never end up working – yet Eclipso defeats the Justice League in just one issue.

Eclipso is the evil god of wrath and darkness – and he is worse than Darkseid

Eclipso possesses the Justice League, corrupting them to his cause

Eclipso is an ancient spirit of wrath and vengeance that works through possession. Eclipso’s powers are linked to darkness – not just a dark night, but the complete and unnatural blackout that comes with the solar eclipse, making him the undisputed king of absolute darkness. Darkseid may have “dark” in his name, however He is just a shadow of Eclipso’s demonic nature.

Eclipso is powered by Eclipse and is also able to attach people and possess them – rather, thanks to a dark twist on his powers, he infects them like a disease of darkness all thanks to his magic diamond. All the Justice League needs to be fractured is to fracture itself. So Eclipso’s corruption works its perfect magic, forcing Green Arrow to shoot a kryptonite arrow into Superman’s back, rendering him useless in the battle. Eclipso can’t just display feats of strength like Darkseid – He turns the Justice League against each other, exposing their weakest parts that only their co-heroes know how to exploit.

Eclipso is much more ruthless than Darkseid

panel from Justice Society of America #11 by Geoff Johns, Marco Santucci, Ivan Plascencia and Rob Lei

in Justice Society of America #11, Eclipso is reborn from the body of a hero in a gruesome way that is much scarier than anything Darkseid has done. He calls forth an absolute darkness that starts to infect the heroes of DC. It’s a much more effective mode than Darkseid’s purported anti-life equation.

Even before Darkseid’s epic return in the current continuity, when he almost had the world in his thrall in Final crisis By Grant Morrison and JG Jones, most heroes are able to resist the call of the anti-life and fight for freedom. Eclipso’s corruption does not seem to have such a back door. If Eclipso shines his dark light, the hero is always possessed. The only hope of the League is Red Tornado, who, as an artificial human, cannot be corrupted. But Eclipso is not just a simple magic user – He is strong enough to rip out Red Tornado’s heart, even without his corruption powers.

Darkseid and Eclipso decide who can beat the Justice League

Two Gods of Darkness are the Justice League’s biggest threats

No one wins a fight against the Justice League for long – at least not in a rematch. Even as Darkseid debuts a cool new costume as he prepares to take down the Justice League once and for all, he doesn’t have any tricks up his sleeve—except for a brand new ax arm. Darkseid is brilliant as a mastermindAnd the fear that he has ignited comes mainly from his high level and from his army that he commands from his fiery and hellish planet.

Eclipso, on the other hand, is not quite of this world. As a spirit of possession, he cannot be killed And struck like Darkseid. There will always be this demonic spirit lurking in DC’s dark corners, like the dark side of the moon where he is purported to dwell in utter blackness – and that spirit will latch on and possess those who only know ultimate loss and can be corrupted indefinitely. , bringing the entire DCU under a major threat.

Eclipso decimates the Justice League in one issue

Achieve a feat Darkseid could never

Darkseid may be waging war, but Eclipso is tearing apart the Justice League from within. This is the difference between a catapult and a spy: one can break down the castle wall, while the other will put a knife in the king’s back. Eclipso is definitely more dangerous than darkseid, and his insightful decline of the Justice League Just proves it. The team is fractured from the inside out, absolutely corrupted to the core of EclipsoAnd it will take an entirely different team of incorruptible superheroes, the Justice Society, to shine some light on the struggle and save the day this time.
