Major characters

[edit]

Flash

[edit]

Barry Allen is the main character of Flashpoint and is one of the few characters who remembers the original timeline. Despite being from the original timeline, Barry's personal history is different: Barry initially does not have his super-speed or his secret identity as the Flash, his mother is alive, and he has no relationship with Iris West.[1] Despite having memories from the initial timeline, Barry's memories change sporadically throughout the series, causing him to recall the events of the Flashpoint timeline such as Aquaman's flooding of Europe and Wonder Woman's conquest of England.[2] With the aid of Batman, Barry manages to convince various heroes and villains to collaborate in stopping Aquaman and Wonder Woman from escalating their conflict into a world war.[3][4] However, during the heroes' final assault on the Amazonian kingdom, Barry's efforts are almost proven futile, as Professor Zoom appears in the wake of the battle, taunting him due to his inability to prevent Zoom's manipulations from taking effect.[5] Thawne then reveals to the Flash that the entire Flashpoint timeline is actually the result of Barry's attempt to prevent Zoom from murdering his mother, and that Zoom now has the ability to kill the Flash at his own leisure without negating his own existence. After learning his inadvertent role in the creation of the Flashpoint timeline, Barry tries to set things right by trying to stop his younger self from changing history. However, the cursed immortal Pandora takes advantage of the situations and creates another alternate timeline slightly different from the original, and Barry fails to realize it.[5]

Reverse-Flash

[edit]

Professor Eobard "Zoom" Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, serves as a red herring of the Flashpoint timeline, and, unlike Barry, the Reverse-Flash still has his powers at their fullest. Eobard constantly toys with Barry by speaking to Barry's mother while running at super-speed and replacing the costume inside the Flash's ring with a Reverse-Flash costume. He is revealed to have caused tragedy in Barry's life after realizing that preventing Barry from becoming the Flash would wipe out his own existence. In the penultimate issue, Reverse-Flash appears before the Flash during the battle between the Amazons and the Atlanteans.[4] He then reveals to Barry that the Flashpoint timeline was actually created by Barry himself, after he traveled back in time to stop Eobard from killing his mother. According to Zoom, these actions transformed him into a living paradox, no longer requiring Barry to exist, and allowing him to kill the Flash without erasing his own existence. Zoom continues to taunt Barry with this knowledge until he is stabbed in the back by an Amazonian sword and killed by Batman.[5] He later returns as an alternate timeline version, before his pre-Flashpoint memories are restored.

Booster Gold

[edit]

When Earth and the rest of the universe entered into an alternate timeline as the result of the feud between the Flash and the Reverse-Flash, Booster Gold and Skeets awaken and are the only ones who remember the original timeline. Booster Gold travels to Coast City, but the U.S. soldiers attack him mistaking him to be an Atlantean threat. Skeets is damaged when Booster Gold is attacked by the military's Project Six, which is revealed to be Doomsday.[6] During the battle in Coast City, Booster Gold discovers that Doomsday is controlled by General Nathaniel Adam. Booster Gold then escapes from Doomsday and then saves a woman named Alexandra Gianopoulos from Doomsday's attack. Booster Gold learns the timeline has been changed, suspecting that Eobard Thawne was behind it. Alexandra and Booster Gold split up, but she secretly has powers allowing her to take others' powers and follows him. Later, Booster Gold flies to Gotham City when Doomsday attacks him. General Adam's control link is destroyed by Alexandra in an attempt to rescue Booster Gold.[7] During the fight, Doomsday beats Booster Gold nearly to death, but he is rescued by Alexandra. Booster Gold tries to prevent Doomsday from killing innocent people, and manages to put Doomsday's helmet back on. Doomsday's control is restored to General Adam, who grabs Booster, hoping to kill him.[8] Fortunately, General Adam takes Booster Gold back to the base for interrogation, allowing Booster Gold to escape when the sight of "Project Superman" causes Doomsday's true personality to resurface again. Alexandra manages to defeat Doomsday by using the control helmet to make Doomsday tear himself apart, subsequently asking Booster Gold to take her with him when he restores history to normal. However, Alexandra subsequently sacrifices herself to save Booster Gold from an Atlantean attack, leaving Booster Gold to return to the Vanishing Point as history resets itself without any clear memory of his time in the Flashpoint universe.[9]

Kid Flash

[edit]

Bart Allen wakes up in the 31st century in Brainiac's stasis pod chamber without his super-speed. After failing to avoid being recaptured by Brainiac, he is confronted by a female Hot Pursuit and escapes with her help. Hot Pursuit reveals herself to be Patty Spivot, Barry Allen's assistant.[10] Kid Flash learns that Patty stole Hot Pursuit's motorcycle and has taken his place. Bart allows himself to be recaptured by Brainiac and is placed into a statis pod, destroying Brainiac's security program from the inside. Patty holds off Brainiac and breaks an energy projector, which returns Bart's super-speed to him. Bart then runs through time to the 21st century, and promises Patty that he will return and rescue her.[11] However, Bart's body transforms into the Black Flash, causing him to kill the speedsters Max Mercury, Jay Garrick, and Wally West. Bart reverts from the Black Flash and meets Barry, where he realizes that the Speed Force is encased in him. Bart is transformed into the living embodiment of the Speed Force's light, or the "White Flash", and he gives Barry his power and tells him to save the world.[12]

Heroes

[edit]

Abin Sur

[edit]

As the "Blackest Night" falls across the universe, Abin Sur, or Green Lantern of Sector 2814, is dispatched to Earth by the Guardians of the Universe with the mission to retrieve the White Entity and bring it back to Oa.[13] While reaching planet Earth, Abin Sur's ship is damaged by a laser that he is forced to crash on the land.[14] Survived, he is approached by Hal Jordan,[14] but he is subsequently taken into custody by Cyborg and the U.S. government to be questioned about his reasons for being on Earth.[15] Although he initially agrees to work with the Earth's heroes to deal with the Amazon/Atlantean War, he declines later on when Batman refuses to join.[1] He is attacked by Sinestro, who reveals that he has learned of the prophecy of the Flashpoint as well as the original world that existed before this one. Sinestro plans to use the Flash to change the history to his own liking and cuts off Abin Sur's hand, severing his connection with his ring.[15] The ring then flies onto Abin Sur's other hand, and he manages to defeat and imprison Sinestro. The Guardians then contact Abin Sur, demanding that he bring the Entity to them, yet refusing to listen to Sinestro's talk of the Flashpoint. They discharge Abin Sur from the Corps, telling him that his ring will find a new wielder when it runs out of power. Abin joins the battle in Europe when a cataclysmic earthquake starts. He dives into the crevice just before his ring runs out of power. The Entity then bonds with Abin Sur and he sees a vision of his sister telling him to truly experience life rather than just living it. Abin Sur is then given the power of the White Lantern and flies into space where he attempts to heal the damage done to the Earth.[16]

Batman

[edit]

Thomas Wayne is the Batman of the Flashpoint reality. Having long abandoned practicing medicine, Thomas Wayne runs Wayne Casinos and has taken up the identity of Batman. On the other hand, Batman in the Flashpoint timeline is an unhinged vigilante who dispenses murderous justice on the streets of Gotham and works out of an underequiped Batcave under the decaying ruins of Wayne Manor. He also has the gun that Joe Chill used to shoot his son as a trophy, indicating that Wayne had gotten his revenge on Bruce Wayne's murder.[1] Wayne has brought gambling into Gotham as a means of controlling and strategically eliminating crime within the city, and he is also seen working with Oswald Cobblepot. Subsequently, he has killed the Flashpoint versions of Killer Croc, Hush, Poison Ivy, and Scarecrow.[17] With Bruce Wayne dying in his and his wife's place, Thomas becomes the Batman. Judge Harvey Dent asks Thomas to save his children, who have been kidnapped by the Joker. Thomas later meets Barry Allen and learns that as a result of the Reverse-Flash's manipulations, an alternate timeline was created. Upon finding out that Bruce originally survived the mugging instead of him and his wife, Batman allies himself with Barry in a quest to search and defeat Zoom to restore the timeline and bring his son back to life, regardless the cost of his own.[2] While Allen is recovering in the Batcave after the first attempt to restore his speed, Thomas resumes locating the Joker with Police Chief James Gordon. Later, Batman sees the footage of the Joker murdering Gordon and confronts the Joker in Wayne Manor, revealing her to be his wife Martha.[18] It is revealed that after Bruce's death, Martha disfigured her face after being driven mad by the loss of her child. Later on, Batman resumes in pursuing his wife after he successfully saves one of Dent's children. In the final battle, Batman reveals of what he has learned from the Flash to the Joker; that he and his wife were supposed to die that night at Crime Alley and how they are alive now. Thomas promises her that he would do everything it takes just to bring their son back to life. When Martha asks her husband of what Bruce was like after they have died, Thomas reluctantly reveals that their son would become Batman. Knowing the sufferings her son would endure after their deaths puts Martha further into madness, and she falls to her demise in the Batcave.[19] Batman later aids Barry Allen in his attempt to lead the world's remaining heroes and villains in preventing the Amazons and Atlanteans from starting a world war.[4] In the climax of the series, Batman manages to kill Professor Zoom by stabbing him with an Amazonian sword. Before the Flash runs to stop his younger self from altering the timeline, Thomas thanks him for all he has done and gives Barry a letter addressed to his son.[5] After the timeline had reset, Bruce Wayne placed his father's letter in a display case at the Batcave after reading it.[20]

Captain Thunder

[edit]

The Marvel Family of the Flashpoint timeline consists of six children who were caught on a subway car that took them to the Rock of Eternity. As a result, each of the youths were given a different one of the wizard's attributes, and go by the name "S!H!A!Z!A!M!". The six children possess the collective ability to turn into Captain Thunder, this timeline's version of Captain Marvel.[1] While the children are in their foster home in Fawcett City, they are approached by Cyborg, Flash, Batman, Enchantress, and Element Woman. Billy is swayed to the heroes' cause since he is able to use his abilities to sift through the Flash's memories and see himself as Captain Marvel back in the proper, more heroic universe. After hearing about a massive battle between Aquaman's Atlantean army and Wonder Woman's Amazonian forces, the kids transform into Captain Thunder and accompany the other heroes to the battlefield in a last-ditch effort to stop the war. Captain Thunder briefly fights Wonder Woman to a draw before being transformed back into the six children by Enchantress who is revealed to be a spy working for the Amazons. Before the kids can reform Captain Thunder, Billy is stabbed by Penthesileia killing him.[4] The six children include:

  • Billy Batson – the de facto leader of S!H!A!Z!A!M! who possesses the courage of Achilles.
  • Mary Batson – sister of Billy Batson who possesses the stamina of Atlas.
  • Freddy Freeman – friend of Billy and Mary Batson, who possesses the power of Zeus. He is crippled in this timeline and walks with the aid of a pair of canes.
  • Eugene Choi[4] – an Asian-American boy who possesses the wisdom of Solomon.
  • Pedro Peña[4] – an overweight Latino boy who possesses the strength of Hercules.
  • Darla Dudley[4] – an African-American girl who possesses the speed of Mercury.

Citizen Cold

[edit]

Leonard Snart a.k.a. Citizen Cold is the local hero of Central City. Citizen Cold, much like his DC Universe counterpart, is mainly motivated by money and women. He is using his superhero identity as a way to gain celebrity status in his fights against supervillains.[1] Despite Citizen Cold's brutal treatment of his foes, the people of Central City widely admire him to the extent of giving him the key to the city multiple times and building a museum in his honor, similar to the Flash's own museum. Also like the Flash, Citizen Cold's main enemies are mostly members of the Rogues, such as the Pied Piper, and it is implied that he has killed Miss Alchemy.[21] Later, Citizen Cold is contacted by the heroes of Earth and attends a meeting that Cyborg has arranged to talk about the possibility of creating a group of heroes to deal with the Amazon/Atlantean War. When Batman refuses to join, Citizen Cold declines as well.[1] After, Citizen Cold defeats Mr. Freeze and kills him, he returns home to see a news report that his sister Lisa has been arrested for killing their brutal father. When Wally West discovers Citizen Cold's true identity, that of a former low-level criminal, Citizen Cold confronts him before he can reveal this information and freezes Wally in a block of ice.[21] Later, Citizen Cold invites Iris West to dinner, but it is interrupted by calls saying that his sister Lisa has been kidnapped by the Rogues. Citizen Cold tries to rescue Lisa, but the Rogues attack him in revenge for what he has done. Citizen Cold is too late and Lisa is killed. When he confronts Iris after being injured while escaping,[22] Iris brings him to her home. After he recovers, he gives her a key to his penthouse and an offer to join him when he leaves Central City. He then goes after the Rogues, killing them all for the murder of his sister. When he returns home, he is confronted by Iris and the Pied Piper, who had revealed to her his murder of Wally. Citizen Cold attempts to kill the Pied Piper, but Iris uses one of his own weapons to freeze Citizen Cold in a block of ice, just as he did to Wally.[23]

Creatures of the Unknown

[edit]

Lt. Matthew Shrieve was ambushed by Nazi soldiers, but then saved by Frankenstein. Later, Shrieve and Frankenstein are invited by Project M to join the Creature of the Unknown. Led raid with the Creatures, Frankenstein personally killed Adolf Hitler. After the end of World War II, Project M is deemed obsolete by Robert Crane's government services. Frankenstein refuses to accept, but is subdued and put into stasis by the G.I. Robot. Later, Frankenstein and the Creatures are revived and escape from the lab facility where they are imprisoned for 65 years. General Nathan Adam then contacts Shrieve's granddaughter Miranda to hunt down the Creatures.[24] Frankenstein and the Creatures subsequently travel to Gotham City, where Dr. Mazursky last lived and find his cabin, only to learn he has moved to Romania. The group is then ambushed by Miranda, along with the G.I. Robot and a platoon of soldiers. Miranda tells them that her grandfather attempted to assemble a second incarnation of the Creatures of the Unknown, consisting of Solomon Grundy, Man-Bat and Doctor Phosphorus, who revolted and killed him and his family. Miranda blames the monsters for ruining her life. Velcoro saved Frankenstein from the G.I. Robot and Miranda shot Griffith with silver. The team is then saved by Bride, Frankenstein's wife who is still alive.[25] After Miranda is taken captive, Bride of Frankenstein explains to the Creatures of the Unknown that she is working as an agent of S.H.A.D.E. She then reveals to Miranda that the second Creatures of the Unknown had been working for General Sam Lane, who is responsible for the deaths of Miranda's family. Later, the Creatures travel to Romania where they find a small village populated by monsters. The village is then attacked by a giant G.I. Robot. Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein combat the G.I. Robot while Miranda helps Nina attend to Griffith's wounds. She also suggests the nearby castle where Dr. Mazursky is alive, who is then reunited with his daughter. Mazursky explains that the village's inhabitants were peaceful and that they were the basis for creating the Creatures of the Unknown. When Project M is deemed obsolete, Dr. Mazursky escapes and returns to the village for eternal life. After Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein destroy the G.I. Robot, Velcoro dies from the sunrise, while Griffith is returned to being human again and develops a relationship with Nina. Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, and Miranda depart from the Creature Commandos and participate in the Atlantean/Amazon War.[26]

Cyborg

[edit]

Victor Stone is America's greatest superhero. Cyborg is attempting to amass a superhero resistance against Aquaman and Wonder Woman's forces, but the heroes he approaches all refuse after Batman declines.[1] Afterwards, Cyborg is seen talking with the President in his headquarters in Detroit. The President states that Steve Trevor sent a signal to the resistance but was intercepted by a traitor among the heroes that Cyborg tried to recruit and suspicion led to the Outsider. Later, Cyborg is called by Batman and the Flash for help in tracking down "Project: Superman", the government branch responsible for 'raising' Superman after his rocket destroyed Metropolis upon its arrival. They and Cyborg agree to join the cause to stop Wonder Woman and Aquaman, but only if Batman gets to choose whom to recruit. Cyborg agrees as long as he comes with them. The three sneak into the government underground bunkers and the group comes across a giant vault door bearing the Superman logo. Cyborg opens the door and sees a weakened Kal-El. With the arrival of guards, they're forced to escape, Kal-El's powers begin to manifest and he flies off, leaving them at the hands of the guards.[3] While they are fending off the guards, they are rescued by Element Woman. Later, Cyborg and other heroes arrive at the Marvel Family's place, helping the Flash from drastically forgetting his memories. After the Flash has recovered, he asks them to stop the Atlantean/Amazon war from casualties, although Cyborg and the heroes are not willing to unless Batman wants to join them; Cyborg explains to him that they believe Batman is invincible, but the Flash convinces him that no one is invincible and the group of heroes agree to join the Flash. The heroes arrive at New Themyscira to stop the Atlantean/Amazon War, and the Flash tells Cyborg to find Aquaman's ultimate bomb to dispose of it.[4]

General Nathaniel Adam

[edit]

General Nathaniel Adam never went through with the Dilustel experiment and is consequently much older than in the original timeline. General Adam controls "Project Six"'s body, using it to attack Booster Gold as he believes Booster Gold to be an Atlantean threat. During the battle, General Adam's control link is destroyed by Metahuman interference, causing Project Six's true personality to surface.[7] General Adam loses control of Project Six, but Booster Gold fixes the control link. General Adam then attempts to use the link to kill Booster Gold.[8] Fortunately, General Adam takes Booster Gold back to the base for interrogation, allowing Booster Gold to escape when the sight of "Project Superman" causes Project Six's true personality to resurface again. Doomsday's attack causes the ceiling to collapse on General Adam, knocking him unconscious.[9]

Haly's Circus

[edit]

Haly's Circus is a circus group traveling through Europe, providing entertainment for various cities and a means of survival on the run from the war.

The circus group include:

  • Deadman – Boston Brand is an acrobat, featured in a show alongside the Flying Graysons. Boston is still as obnoxious and arrogant as he was before he died, and he does not wish to be a part of the circus. Brand makes fun of the circus' fortune teller, Doctor Fate, until Fate gives him a vision of Boston standing over a dead Dick Grayson. Before the next show, Deadman tries to convince Dick to go solo, but Dick tells him that family means too much to him. Dick poses the question that Deadman's seeming fearlessness could stem from his insecurity of being alone.[1] Haley Circus is attacked by Amazons who want the Helm of Nabu. While Boston, along with the circus, is running away from the Amazons, they are rescued by Resistance member Vertigo. When they are hiding, Boston tells Dick to leave his father since he is fatally wounded, but Dick refuses. Before he dies, Dick's father asks Boston to protect his son.[27] Later, Boston and Dick are running around the countryside looking for reinforcements when they are caught in an explosion. It appears that they both have survived the explosion, but when Boston tells Dick he is okay, Dick walks through him towards Boston's dead body behind him. Boston realizes that he is now a ghost whose presence cannot be seen or heard. He helps Dick, keeping him safe from the Amazons. Meeting up with the Resistance, Boston aids Dick, who has become the new Doctor Fate, and lets him know that he is not alone.[28]
  • Dick Grayson – a member of the Haley Circus acrobats, featured in a show alongside Boston Brand. In a vision that Doctor Fate gives Boston Brand, Boston is standing over Dick's body. Before the next show, Boston tries to convince Dick to perform solo. However, Dick tells him that family means too much to him. Dick poses the question that Boston's seeming fearlessness could stem from his insecurity of being alone.[1] During the attack on Haley Circus by the Amazons, Dick's mother falls to the ground in the ensuing madness. When Dick, along with the circus, is running away from the Amazons, they are rescued by Resistance member Vertigo. While they are hiding, Dick's father is fatally wounded by the Amazons. Deadman tells him to leave his father, but Dick refuses. Later, Dick's dying father makes Deadman promise to protect his son.[27] Afterwards, Dick and Boston run to the countryside looking for reinforcements, when they are caught in an explosion. Dick survives, but his friend Boston is killed. When Dick walks towards his friend's body, he is unaware of the fact that he walks through the ghost of Boston. Dick manages to take the Amazons down with a gasoline explosion. Meeting up with the Resistance, Dick becomes the new Doctor Fate. He is aided by the ghostly Boston, who lets him know that he is not alone.[28]
  • The Flying Graysons – Dick Grayson's parents are the trapeze artists in Haley's Circus; they are famed for always working without a net.[1] When Haley Circus is attacked by Amazons, Dick's mother falls to the ground and his father is fatally wounded after being impaled by Amazons. While hiding, Dick's father asks Boston Brand to promise him to protect his son Dick.[27] He dies next to his son and Boston.[28]
  • Doctor Fate – Haley Circus' fortune teller. He tells co-worker Boston Brand of a vision of the death of Brand's fellow acrobat, Dick Grayson.[1] Haley Circus is attacked by Amazons who want to steal the Helm of Nabu.

Hal Jordan

[edit]

Hal Jordan, a member of U.S. Air Force, and Carol Ferris are in F-22 Raptors entering Western European territory when the Shark attacks. Hal forces the Shark to crash his jet into Carol's jet, and both of them barely eject in time. Upon their return to America, Hal witnesses a spaceship crash to Earth and is approached by the ship's survivor, Abin Sur, who asks for help.[14] However, Abin Sur is subsequently taken into custody by Cyborg and the government to be questioned about his reasons for being on Earth.[15] Later, when Amazonian invisible planes invade over Coast City, Hal and Carol manage to shoot down the invisible planes and the Hydra that they drop. Later, Hal is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission to use a Green Arrow Industries nuclear weapon to bomb western Europe.[29] Later, Hal is ready to fly on the F-35 with the Green Arrow nuclear weapon attempting to destroy western Europe at the end of the Atlantean/Amazon war.[4] During the battles on New Themyscira, Hal attempts to use the remaining nuclear weapon, but his firing mechanism jams. Hal's only option is to fly through New Themyscira in a suicide attack, causing a process which destroys not only New Themyscira's invisible shield but Hal with it. Afterwards, Thomas Kalmaku gives Carol a note saying that Hal was afraid to say that he had always loved her. Carol sees the engagement ring with which he was going to propose to her.[30]

Subject One / Super-Man

[edit]

Kal-El's rocket crashed directly into Metropolis, resulting in the deaths of over thirty-five thousand people. The infant inside was subsequently taken into government captivity.[31] Years later, young Kal-El is found to have been placed in a government facility for aliens to control his powers for uses to make super-soldiers. Sam Lane takes a liking to him as he has become the son that Lane never had. Kal-El later makes a friendship with Krypto, who was also being held in the facility, but after Kal-El fails to appease his government handlers, he is separated from him. Later, Kal-El was helped by Neil Sinclair to free himself and then attacks Sam Lane. Kal-El makes his way to Lane's office where he finds Sam's young daughter Lois Lane. Sinclair appears to kill Lois although Kal-El wishes to protect her after seeing her innocence. Sam Lane shows up and uses a Phantom Zone gun to send himself and Sinclair into the Phantom Zone. Afterward, Kal-El is deemed Subject 1 again and he is placed in a government underground bunker under a life sentence by General Nathaniel Adam.[32] Sometime later, attempting to rally support in his attempt to restore the timeline to normal, the Flash, Batman, and Cyborg break into the facility where Kal-El is being kept only to find a very thin man incapable of speech who seems terrified just at the sight of others. Once they break out into daylight, Kal-El rises into the air. He then uses his heat vision and flies away.[3] Kal-El arrives in Western Europe and rescues Lois from the Amazons that attempt to kill her. Just as the two reunite, Sinclair attacks them. While Sinclair fights some Amazons, Lois tells him he must leave. Kal-El refuses and says that he learned from Sam that they must protect people from monsters like Sinclair. Kal-El manages to overload Sinclair's body with energy, and punches him through the chest, killing him in a huge explosion, but Lois is caught in the blast. Kal-El holds the dying Lois in his arms and Lois tells him to save the people. Kal-El mourns Lois' death.[33] Kal-El arrives at the scene of the Atlantean/Amazon war and intends to attack both leaders Aquaman and Wonder Woman in the last battle. He starts by landing fast on Enchantress.[5]

Oliver Queen

[edit]

Oliver Queen is the head of Green Arrow Industries, a major military contracting company. He led an ex-military band of Green Arrows. Even though Oliver is an inventive genius, he steals advanced gadgets from super-villains for military use. One day, Oliver discovers his Green Arrows were killed by a female raider. Taking his weapons and gadgets to hunt down the woman in battle, Oliver is shocked when the woman reveals to him that she is a daughter of Vixen, making them targets for the super-villains looking to regain their weapons. Shocked by her revelation, Oliver had only been stalling before his daughter is killed by his reserve teams he earlier called.[34]

Outsider

[edit]

Michael Desai was born in Chandigarh, India, an infant Metahuman with alabaster-white skin and superhuman durability. When his mother died during his childbirth (an accident which Desai's father blamed him for causing) Desai created a massive sinkhole within a three-mile radius of Chandigarh, killing thousands of people and leaving him as the only survivor. How Desai managed to accomplish this feat and the extent of this power is initially unknown.[35] Years later, Michael adopted the alias of "The Outsider" as he is both "outside" the law and the human race. He manages to accumulate considerable wealth through implied illegal activities, allowing Desai to effectively elevate India's status as a world power. Subsequently, he turns the entire country into a multinational criminal operation that is completely under his control. However, the Outsider has also managed to garner many enemies. In particular, after Desai admittedly framed them for unknown crimes when they uncovered some of the Outsider's illegal activities, ising Sun and Mister and Missus Terrific attacked him in an attempt to assassinate him. The Outsider then killed all three would-be assassins and set out the man who hired them.[35] Desai is also engaged in a manhunt to find and capture a teenage electricity-based metahuman named Blackout, whom he believes can efficiently provide power in Mainland India with his abilities. Later, the Outsider was contacted by the heroes of Earth and attended a meeting that Cyborg has arranged to talk about the possibility of creating a group of heroes to deal with the Amazon/Atlantean War. The Outsider's reasons for supporting the heroes revolve entirely around maintaining his empire,[1] but when Batman refuses to join the team, the Outsider declines as well.[1] Later on, Desai is revealed to have some degree of longevity, as he is shown to be active in Indian criminal and political affairs since the late 1970s.[36] In 1979, the Outsider quelled the Bombay riots by manipulating and subsequently killing the crime leaders responsible for the violence, and then uniting their organizations under his leadership. In 1996, the Outsider captured Isis in his Siberian Express on Novaya Zemlya in a bid to blackmail Black Adam into selling Desai his home country Khandaq. When the two negotiated terms for Isis' release, the Outsider attacked and defeated Black Adam using Durlan technology. The Outsider then shot Adam and threw him off of the Siberian Express to join Isis as his trophy/prisoner. In the present day, the Outsider is shown interrogating the warden at Bombay Prison responsible for allowing the assassins to escape. Although the warden states that he knows nothing about the prisoners' breakout, the Outsider shoots him and has his family sold into slavery for his incompetence. The Outsider's investigation then led him to Khandaq, where he uncovers an encryption key, linking Blackout to the assassination attempt. Later, Desai confronts Blackout, but realizes that the man he is fighting is not Blackout at all but rather J'onn J'onzz in disguise.[36] In 1985, the Outsider is revealed to have kept J'onn J'onzz captive within a secret research facility after stealing Doctor Erdel's teleportation device. After studying him and learning his weaknesses, the Outsider sold J'onn to Russia, where he subsequently escaped and took over the country. In the present day, after the Outsider talks with J'onn about the past, J'onn admits to pursuing revenge against Desai for torturing him and moves to kill him. During the battle, Outsider uses a salvaged teleportation device to trap J'onn within several instances of the Multiverse. After questioning J'onn about his future assassination attempts and getting no answers, the Outsider closed the device with J'onn still trapped inside, cutting in half and killing him. Later, the Outsider returned to his base and contacts the heroes to join the assault on New Themiscyra.[37] The Outsider arrives at the scene to join the attacks in Atlantean/Amazon war.[5]

Resistance

[edit]

The Resistance is a group of individuals gathered by Grifter to face the menace of the war between the Atlanteans and the Amazons.[38]

The group includes:

  • Britannia – Penelope "Penny" Black was a British Navy officer working on the Tintagel, a ship that was testing the Lionheart, an experimental engine. The Lionheart malfunctioned during a test run, causing the ship to teleport from the sea to the middle of dry land. The ship's entire crew was killed, except for Penny who had a metagenic trait, allowing her to fuse with the Lionheart technology and survive. To help her channel her powers, the Navy built the Britannia armor. Britannia becomes a famous war hero. When the Amazons invaded the United Kingdom, the Britannia armor is lost, so the British government sent Penny to New Themyscira and assigned her to recover the Mark Two armor[39] and to extract Lois Lane.[38] After meeting up with the recovering Penny, she uses Cyborg's device to locate her missing armor at Westminster. The Resistance head there, but Resistance member Miss Hyde betrays them and contacts the Furies.[40] Hyde reappears and fights the Amazons, allowing the Resistance to fight the Amazons evenly. Lois and Penny get to a reserve bunker that contains the Britannia armor. Penny wears the armor and kills Artemis. She then fights Wonder Woman, taking her to one of her prison ships. There, Britannia realizes that Wonder Woman did not sanction the prison ships, the purple ray treatment and the training compounds. Wonder Woman then releases the captured prisoners, while Britannia takes them to the Resistance. Britannia and Grifter then led the Resistance and the civilians in an all-out battle against the Amazons.[39]
  • Canterbury Cricket – Jeramey Chriqui was once an arrogant con man of a university student. When the Amazons attacked and invaded the campus, Jeramey sought refuge in Canterbury Cathedral. Tracked by an Amazon, Jeramey pleaded for his life to the Amazon and to God. In a flash, the cathedral was bombed by overhead invisible jets with Jeramey being the sole survivor. In silence, all that he heard was a chirp. Whether by way of a miracle or a curse, Jeramey had been transformed, and out from the rubble rose the Canterbury Cricket. Jeramey is now the most loyal of the loyal to England and will fight to protect it until his very last breath. Canterbury Cricket assembles the Ambush Bugs to fight the Amazons, until they were killed while Canterbury Cricket escaped. Later, Canterbury Cricket rescues some resistance fighters. The heroes hide in the bush and learn Canterbury Cricket's origins until Amazons breach their hideout.[41] During this same period, Canterbury Cricket joins the Resistance.
