    Meanwhile, the justice league recruitment in another universe goes something like this:
    *Superman* : Everyone has a role. And Aquaman......
    *Aquaman* : I swear, if you say it
    *Superman* : You control 70% of the world. You're invaluable.
    *Aquaman* : (sheds one tear) thanks man....

    Draga was somehow in the Justice League cartoon, in that one episode where Superman is trapped in WarWorld. I always thought they made him up for the show, but nope, he was in the comics. Bruce Timm and everyone else who wrote the show literally scraped the bottom of the barrel when it came to minor characters and references for the show. lol

    This is a perfect example of why in terms of quality Superman books in this era blew away most of the best-selling comics it competed against. It's why the Comics Buyer's Guide said the entire Superman line was the "best mainstream superhero comics going"(along with the Incredible Hulk". They deserved to dominate the sales charts if more readers had been paying attention.

    I remember this story really setting the tone with Post-Crisis Brainiac and it lasted until _Superman Y2K_ where he was rebooted as a full-on A.I. robot from the future. While I really like Post-Crisis Superman, Brainiac wasn't handled very well until Jeph Loeb and Joe Kelley's runs.

    Doomsday being created by Brainiac is a much better origin then Doomsday's actual origin. I think some people to think that and created this false legend because it's better than weird rage monster that kills Superman and turns out to be some prehistoric krytonian super baby. Hell they even tried to link Brainiac and Doomsday more closely in Superman Doomed(yes I am aware I'm the only one who read it). Just go ahead and make it canon in the next crisis DC, I won't mind.

    @bradwatkins7564 Před 7 měsíci

    Panic In The Sky also marked the end of Captain Atom being a "main eventer."
    Before PANIC in THE SKY Captain Atom was a DC main eventer. He even led Earth's heroes during INVASION. A rare thing for someone not in the Big 3.
    Back at that time Superman and Batman via editorial directive were less team players and more loners. Batman being a strict part timer in the league Post Crisis and Superman never had been in the League. Wonder Woman was rebooted as a new arrival so in Post Crisis we had Wonder Girl-Donna Troy before we had a Wonder Woman-Diana.
    So Captain Atom filled that role and was given alot of feats especially towards the end of his solo series.
    BUT PANIC IN THE SKY changed that. It put Superman squarely back at the top of the pyramid as a member of the league and the defacto leader of the Hero community.
    After that DC has not known what to do with Captain Atom since. So he gets treated like Worf on TNG or Kane or the Big Show in WWE.

    You guys are whack. Superman and Batman should always have a hard time getting along. The 1986 reboot was so awesome because it didn't assume a lot of stuff. The Byrne run, which continued successfully (storywise) without him, was so tight that you could experience each singular meeting of Bats & Supes and every moment of their strained but evolving relationship. For example, Superman regards Batman as the one person who can be entrusted with Luthor's recently acquired kryptonite ring. Kryptonite is so rare that this is the actual same kryptonite that Batman uses against Superman in DKR, in their future. Such tight storytelling.
