Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A DC Comics limited series published in 1991. It was just two issues, but the bulk of it happened in the 1991 annuals.Ten years in the future, one of the Earth superheroes decides that the world needs order, does a Face–Heel Turn, kills all the others, and becomes an armor-clad dictator known as Monarch.Years later, there is a man named Matthew Ryder who is unhappy with Monarch's regime. When Ryder discovers that Monarch is working on a time-travel experiment, he pretends to be loyal and volunteers for the experiment, which turns Ryder into the time-traveling hero Waverider.Waverider travels to 1991, knowing that one of the heroes of that era will become Monarch. Just by touching any of them, he can see their future ten years later and find which one will become Monarch.The series was followed by Armageddon: The Alien Agenda and Armageddon: Inferno, the last of which brought the Justice Society of America back from limbo.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Blow Gun: In one Batman storyline, The Joker frames Batman for the Penguin's murder by having a henchman shoot a poison dart this way, thus making it appear as if Batman knocked Penguin off a side railing with his Batarang and made the villain fall to his death.

Beware the Superman: Superman in the alternate timeline where he loses Lois Lane to a nuclear bomb and becomes a tough rogue enforcer of nuclear disarmament. Also applies to Monarch.

Superman had two specifically bad futures in his alternate timelines. In one timeline, he was married to Lois Lane for a short time until a nuclear bomb created by Mannheim of Intergang went off, taking out the entire city of Metropolis, leading to his marriage to Lana Lang and his being a tough crusading enforcer of nuclear disarmament. In another timeline, his wife Lois Lane dies carrying his child, causing him to go off into outer space and fall in love with Maxima, who once pursued him so she could have his child. This last one is less bad since it led to Maxima performing a Heel–Face Turn.

Bad Future: The Monarch-ruled one from which Waverider comes. The heroes' futures vary between happy and depressing, but L.E.G.I.O.N. has the worst one. Superman had two specifically bad futures in his alternate timelines. In one timeline, he was married to Lois Lane for a short time until a nuclear bomb created by Mannheim of Intergang went off, taking out the entire city of Metropolis, leading to his marriage to Lana Lang and his being a tough crusading enforcer of nuclear disarmament. In another timeline, his wife Lois Lane dies carrying his child, causing him to go off into outer space and fall in love with Maxima, who once pursued him so she could have his child. This last one is less bad since it led to Maxima performing a Heel–Face Turn.
