word of advice : This article contains SPOILERS forJustice League#26
-
If you ’ve ever wondered what the kid of Superman , Wonder Woman , The Flash , Green Lantern , or Aquaman would face like , the time for wondering is over . Thanks to DC Comics , every fan gets to see the birth and great power of the Logos and daughters of theJustice League . The good intelligence is that they ’re every fleck the poor boy that their parents were , making up the Justice League of the future … the bad newsworthiness is that they ’ve traveled back in meter to seek their parents ' help . Because as heroic as their superhero parent taught them to be , the future may be too lost for them to ever lay aside .
The solution , as is unremarkably the font in amusing books , is to point back to a time before the mankind went so improper . Before Aquaman was corrupted and claimed Cyborg ’s body to keep himself alive . Before Mount Olympus was come back to Earth in the midriff of New York City . And before theGodsof Olympus saw their powers stolen by the maniacal scoundrel call ' Sovereign . ' That ’s the villain this ' next propagation ' of the Justice League battle inJustice League#26 - and it may be a villain their own parents help to create .
Writer Bryan Hitch and artists Oclair Albert and Fernando Pasarin will get to that confrontation soon enough . But first , let ’s get to the ripe stuff and nonsense : it ’s time to meet the many child of the Justice League . Most notably , the son that would be born from the union of Kal - El of Krypton … and Princess Diana of Themyscira .
Superman & Wonder Woman’s Son
The hero that lay claim the limelight - for obvious reasons - is bear on to in the issue as merely ' huntsman , ' but fan wo n’t need to see DC ’s concept sketch to prove that his full name is HunterPrince , son of the heroine Wonder Woman . In the bleak , battle - hardened future from which Hunter and his League hail , he demonstrates the leadership and strength you would expect from the son of an Amazon . And estimate by the lower cannon on his arms , the gilt lasso on his hip , and even Wonder Woman ’s tiara worn as a turnup around his arm , the subject matter is clear : Hunter is his female parent ’s son .
agnatic resemblance is catchy to judge in comic book , but the daggers Hunter shoots at Superman when last confront him ( seen in the artwork at the top of the page ) leaves little incertitude that he is , in fact , the son ofSupermanas well . If his anatomy were n’t cogent evidence enough , then his ness / cloak layers on the symbolism of a fry of two heroes . He wears a gilded eagle reminiscent of his female parent ’s costume as a brooch … maintain Superman ’s tattered ness hung around his shoulders . Hunter ’s reaching is practiced word for the New 52 fan who hoped to see Superman and Wonder Woman ’s romance continue - but had their hopes smash when theclassic Superman replaced the New 52 adaptation .
Why Superman plainly ends up fathering a child with Diana , instead of Lois Lane , is the real question . But it ’s not the only one these Justice League youngster will elevate … and it ’s not even thebiggest .
The Flash & Green Lantern’s Daughter
The suggestion thatanywoman other than Iris West could catch Barry Allen ’s eye will be profanation to some fans , but not those who ’ve been read Hitch’sJustice Leagueseries sinceRebirth . Yes , Barry has prosecute a romantic kinship with Iris in his ownFlashcomic . But as this young League has formed around the Greco-Roman heroes and two new Green Lanterns , Barry ’s chemistry with Jessica Cruz has been slowly work up . on the face of it , that momentum will only keep building , judging by the arrival of his speedster daughter - belong by the surprisingly tending and clever superhero moniker ' Cruise . ' She may have her begetter ’s gifts , but it seems she has taken hermother ’s name into her superhero career .
At least , that ’s how it seems . The concept sketches actually look up to Cruise as ' Nora Allen , ' confirming she is the daughter of Barry Allen , possess his Speed Force connection and his female parent ’s given name . And while Cruise has yet to explicitly state that Green Lantern Jessica Cruz is her biologic female parent , pointing a finger’s breadth in Jessica ’s face while explaining that the mathematical group is"your children"is convincing . Barry Allen ’s next children have changed over the years , and it seems the ' Tornado Twins ' of the past have been replaced by a individual daughter .
The Speed Force being passed genetically is n’t anything new , either . But the substantial twisting of Barry ’s offspring comes in the pair’sotherchildren … which we ’ll get to soon .
Aquaman & Mera’s Daughter
The least disgraceful member of the future Justice League is emphatically ' Serenity , ' born with the Atlantean name of Eldoris Curry . The daughter of Arthur Curry and his longtime lover Mera , Serenity seems to possess her father ’s Atlantean durability and some undefined , potentiallymagicalabilities in traversal and teleportation . Visually , she ’s almost a perfect combination of her parents ' most iconic feature : the appearance of Mera with her father ’s blond hair , and a costume built out of component pieces conjuring image of both .
The exceptionally practiced word is that whileAquaman ’s had his throne stolenin the current funnies , things worked out well enough in the future that created Eldoris ' Do n’t Call Me Dory ' Curry . She ’s not only a member of the Justice League , but the reigning Queen of Atlantis . We can only hope that mean Arthur choose back the commode , and takes Mera as his queen ( as fans always expect ) . The fact that Aquaman turn a loss his dear and becomes a force his own girl must battle is the twist of the story still to be revealed , but it ’s not the only one .
When bring together her friends for their stumble back in time , Eldoris notes that her passing has provide Atlantis vulnerable to"Tempest ’s force . “She ’s not the only young extremity of theAquamanfamily to rise to greatness in the hereafter , it would seem .
Green Lantern & Flash’s Twins?
The biggest secret of the effect relates to the Green Lanterns of the next Justice League . Well , theLanternsanyway , also a mixed gender pair commingle their top executive to make a unnerving forcefulness for their teammates . The twist is that the two Lanterns - named Jenny and Jason in the existent topic - do n’t use a Green Lantern ring at all . Jenny wear out the Lantern symbol on her front , and Jason on his cap … but it ’s theRedandYellowlight of the spectrum they use , severally .
Even more explosive is the fact that their name are revealed to by Jenny and JasonAllenin sketches . And with the pair seeming to stare down Barry and Jessica as Cruise point her finger , it would appear that thethreeyoung heroes have follow to visit their speedster and Lantern parents . If Jenny and Jason are Gemini the Twins , then it ’s a clever way for Hitch to keep tradition alive under new circumstance . But the question of theirpoweris the material head scratcher . Rings are the source of a Lantern ’s power , so how it could be hap genetically is a mystery . And even if the span ’s control of the Red and yellowish Christ Within is a sleep with nod to their Church Father ’s famous color scheme … the fact that they exert it with theirhandsdemands some inspection .
But hey , at least they seem toknowwho their parent really are , and how it ’s possible for them to procreate . Which is more than we can say for the concluding Justice League member .
The Son of Cyborg
No lector involve to really be told which member of the League is come to to ' Cube , ' since the beam circuitry , the projected holographical maps during their mission , and his ability to both loose and prevent Boom Tubes bring in it obvious . Yet even if fans consent that Vic Stone remainshumanenough to bring forth a boy , then the mother is all unknown . Then again , it ’s possible that if Cyborg ’s method acting of really ' being animated ' is inseparable from his partly - constitutional , partly - cybernetic world , his offspring is a standardized case . Was Cube born as a physique and blood nipper of Vic and a mystery woman … or was he create in the same way that Cyborg was ' created ' from Vic Stone ?
It ’s Cube who ’s awarded the fewest clue to his blood line in the issue , but the cover prowess forJustice League#27 shows him break down toe - to - toe with Cyborg ( and the knowing public eye they ’re lock in on the final page show they have some issues to work out , same as everyone else ) . But if you ’ve got an idea about which hero , villain , or digital program will aid institute Cube into the human beings , your guess is as good as ours .
We ’ll have to wait and see about the foreign , revelatory metahuman warfare that mail the DC ’s Earth down the path to the future of this second coevals Justice League . Not to mention our hopes for an explanation of why and how Earth ’s greatest heroes left behind their nestling to keep up the fight . But if Hunter and Cruise keep up the flirtation shown in the first issue , DC fans may just have a chance to see the power and birth of Superman , Wonder Woman , and The Flash in a single body .
Good luck outwit that , cyborg Aquaman .
