Invasion! (DC Comics) (Comic Book) | comment |
Invasion! was a three-part Crisis Crossover miniseries published by DC Comics in 1988 (It should not be confused with the TV series of the same name, or any other invasion-themed series).An alien race called The Dominators discovers that Earth's superhumans get their powers from a 'meta-gene' and decide to capture them all to be used as living weapons with which to conquer the universe. Realizing that they cannot beat the heroes by themselves, they convince several other races from around The DC Universe to aid them under the pretense that the "metahumans" were too dangerous to be allowed to exist (and taking advantage of the fact that the Green Lantern Corps had, at the time, been reduced to only a handful).The combined might of the alien armada seemed invincible but thanks to a Heel–Face Turn by one of its own member races, it was routed. But a second threat happened when a Dominator scientist detonated a "meta-gene bomb" whose radiation rendered most of Earth's metahumans helpless. It takes a Ragtag Band of Misfits to find the cure and save the day.The story is separated into three components: The main story itself is told in three issues - "The Alien Armada", "Battleground Earth" and "World Without Heroes" In-between issues #1 and 2 are the "First Strike" tie-ins. These stories showcase humanity's early attempts to fight the alien invasion to various degrees of success. In-between issues #2 and 3 are the "Aftermath" tie-ins. These stories showcase the clean-up efforts by humanity and their new allies, all these issues ending with the mysterious Gene Bomb detonating.The series L.E.G.I.O.N. (about a mercenary group that protected the galaxy in the Corps' absence) was spun off from the crossover. It also launched the series of Justice League Europe and the Daxamite superhero Valor (also known as Mon-El) (A team called The Blasters was introduced by the crossover and given a one-shot special, but never had its own series). As well, Grant Morrison's iconic run on Doom Patrol kicked off following the end of the story and Superman began the Superman: Exile storyline as a culmination of events starting with The Supergirl Saga.In 2016, the story was adapted as third crisis crossover of the Arrowverse called Invasion and the first to feature all four shows: Supergirl (2015) ("Medusa"), The Flash (2014) ("Invasion!"), Arrow ("Invasion!"), and Legends of Tomorrow ("Invasion!"), in that order.For the 2000 AD series, see Savage. | |

Invasion! (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_18e33968 | comment |
Earth Is the Center of the Universe: Justified. The alien alliance planning to take over Earth discussed amongst themselves that the reason our otherwise Insignificant Little Blue Planet is The Center of the Universe is that humans are more genetically varied than any of them are. Specifically, some humans have the genetic code to develop a wide variety of superpowers. | |

Captain Ersatz: Inverted with the Khunds who are pretty much pink Klingons but debuted three years before Star Trek: The Original Series. Inverted with the Durlans, who are essentially the same as the more popular Skrulls of Marvel Comics but predated their first appearance a month. Reep Dagle was the first of either species to grace the pages of comics back in 1961, and the Skrulls first appeared in 1962. | |

Defector from Decadence: Any Dominator (very few) or Durlan that switches sides to aid the humans. Some were only revealed later. Most of those that become Wonder Woman's command crew after she is abducted by the Sangtee Empire were former members of the Alien Alliance. The Empire caught quite a few Durlans and Khunds while they were on their way home and a few invaders that were fleeing their own people in the aftermath (the Dominator Sakritt and Daxamite "Julia") of the failed invasion. | |

Crisis Crossover: A whole mess of alien planets get together and try to take over Earth to keep all the superbeings we keep producing under control; yet again, it doesn't work out. This crossover also introduced the Metagene Meta Origin concept in the DCU, as well as led to the launching of Justice League Europe and L.E.G.I.O.N., a 20th Century Legion of Super-Heroes spin-off title known mainly for having Lobo and Brainiac 2 on the roster. | |

Fantastic Racism: Part of the reason for the alliance was... that aliens don't like how humans look. The Daxamites and Thanagarians resembled Earth's humans, but they had no genetic variance eg. they all look alike. It's actually fascinating that the Daxamites were willing to ally with anyone given their traditionally extremely xenophobic culture. | |

Trick Bomb: The Dominator develops and detonates a "gene bomb" which targets those with the "metahuman" gene (responsible for the emergence of Earthling superheroes) and causes them to lose control of their powers. While it was supposed to eventually prove lethal, the only death directly due to the bomb was a C-list member of a C-list team: Scott Fischer of the Doom Patrol. | |

Wonder Woman's lasso and inherent sense of when she's being lied to gives her a leg up on figuring out who is really who they claim to be, which is helpful when Steve Trevor ends up abducted and impersonated. | |

Didn't Think This Through: The entire gene bomb thing. The Dominator who detonated it had done so as a parting "screw you" to the Earthlings and is expecting to be lauded for his actions. However, it turns out the Dominators were actually planning on heading back to Earth at a future date for round two and his acts ruined it. The only reason he's still alive for the Martian Manhunter and Robotman to find him is because the Dominators want to know if there's a cure for it. Thankfully, there is. | |

Meta Origin | |
Invasion! (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_995ad130 | comment |
Meta Origin: The "metagene". When someone with this gene underwent a moment of extraordinary physical stress, the gene would activate, giving them some ability that would allow them to handle it. Any character who doesn't have powers from some other, explicit source is assumed to be a "metahuman". The "Blasters" team were the survivors of a group of 100 random humans kidnapped to demonstrate the theory. The Dominator running the experiment expected that if they were all attacked by a firing-squad barrage, one of them would spontaneously develop powers that would allow him to survive. Instead, seven people did, including (unknown to them) former Justice League sidekick Snapper Carr. The Daxamites gain powers on Earth similar to Superman's, since they're descended from Kryptonian colonists who intermarried with native Daxamites. However they were also vulnerable to lead-based pollution, and only survived because Earth's heroes saved them. Some people actually gained powers (or had them altered) as a result of the meta-bomb, most notably Justice League manager Maxwell Lord. Several of the new members of Doom Patrol introduced during the Grant Morrison run were also said to have got their powers from the meta-bomb. Metamorpho actually came back from the dead because of it. Notable not only in that it implied his powers were genetic rather than mystic, but also that the gene bomb could work on the dead. | |

Invasion! (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_9c6da41b | comment |
Spot the Imposter: When heading to rescue Steve Trevor from shapeshifting Durlans, Wonder Woman and Captain Atom know who they're dealing with. When they're separated, each is approached by a Durlan posing as the other but see through it fast. In Diana's case, she asks "Atom" if Captain Nate Adam was with Trevor, the Durlan confirming it...not knowing Nate is Captain Atom. In Atom's case, he's able to quickly see that "Diana's" lasso isn't glowing. In an earlier issue, a Durlan invaded a secret military base. When a helicopter starts taking off, General Eiling believes the Durlan is posing as the pilot. To his surprise, Atom yanks one of the gas tanks off of the copter and then tosses it into the blades, which slice the Durlan apart. Atom explains he's flown that type of helicopter before and knew it only has two fuel tanks, not three. | |

Floating Water: Adam Strange is visited by a Thanagarian delegation who vocally admires the "water sculpture" in the hero's house as it made various shapes in the air above the "fountain" it filled. Then they tried to kill him. Turns out the "water sculpture" was actually a trained alien "watchdog" made of liquid and the fountain was its equivalent to a doghouse (It also turns out that Thanagarians take a long time to drown, since their lungs are larger than those of a human). | |

Easily Thwarted Alien Invasion: After all the antagonistic alien races of the universe decide to pool their resources to invade Earth because Earthlings are getting too big for their britches, how does the invasion end? Just like the Skrull-based Secret Invasion event, the aliens make landfall for five minutes, start talking like they've won, then summarily get kicked back into space to get curbstomped by the various Earthling superheroes. Oh, and one of the races of this coalition, the Dominators, drops a gene-bomb on Earth, causing a Mass Super-Empowering Event for humanity. Nice job uplifting thousands of those humans you came to destroy, alien dipsticks! | |

Both storylines were alien invasion stories, but while Secret Invasion dropped the ball on any long-term effects, Invasion! didn't, the biggest one being the revelation of the meta-gene. | |

Irony: Several things. The invaders had no idea that the superhumans were going to be used against them once captured. The Daxamites helping route the invasion. A Dominator helping save Earth's heroes (after almost killing them). The Thanagarians' original reason for joining the Invasion was to capture Hawkman and Hawkwoman, rogue Thanagarians who had defected to Earth. The popularity of the Hawkworld comic would lead to these characters being rebooted, and retconned the previous Hawkman and Hawkwoman members of the Justice League being advance agents of the Invasion who remained loyal. Hawkworld came out literally months after the conclusion to Invasion!, essentially making the Thanagarians' involvement immediately incoherent. | |
