A New DC Comics One Million Future Revealed…

Plus How That Led To The Legion Of Doom Formation By Lex Luthor?

The issue opens with the “pitch” Lex Luthor had for the Legion of Doom (really the Legion of Fate as revealed earlier). It is essentially a time travel tale of when he tinkered with a Mother Box from the Fourth World / New Gods and then…

…traveled one million years into the future, via a Legion of Super-Heroes time bubble, to a future that looked different…

…from DC One Million.

In that future he realizes he is the only god that survives, but as a warning as he didn’t realize his full potential, which was right under his nose,…

…and the world’s true fate until it was too late.

That is why Lex Luthor is referred to as the Great Tragedy in that future…

…a nice thematic nod to the Great Disaster…

…of Jack Kirby’s classic post apocalyptic future set…

…Kamandi the Last boy on Earth.

When Lex Luthor heads back to his time, he heads to his father’s old legionnaire headquarters and…

…finds the Doom symbol (when upside down it stands for Justice as revealed early on in this series) as well as the existence of the seven hidden forces and the totality…

…the ultraviolet spectrum…

…the still force…

…and the promise of the rest for each member of the Legion of Doom.

Lex Luthor changed the future by finding about Doom, the seven hidden forces and the totality, so that future is enveloped by entropy as…

…modern day Lex Luthor is microscopic and in control of Superman…

…and a micro Joker is in control of the Martian Manhunter! Next up is…

…Justice League #6 out on August 15, 2018.
