Kingdom Come is a 1996 DC Comics story published under the Elseworlds imprint, written by Mark Waid and beautifully painted by Alex Ross. The story depicts a dystopian future in which Superman has retired due to the public's preference for heroes who will use lethal force. The Silver Age superheroes follow him, in some cases retiring completely, in others sticking to their own small areas. With the absence of the old heroes and the abundance of a new, more reckless generation, the world has become a bit grimmer, a bit more pessimistic and hopeless, but nevertheless seems to keep turning.That is, until a tragedy strikes in Kansas. The death of Captain Atom causes a nuclear explosion that destroys most of the American Midwest. This loosens the last bounds of restraint among the new generation of metahumans, who begin to fight one another with abandon. Superman returns, reassembles the Justice League, and tries to take back control, with dire consequences.Through it all, a simple pastor named Norman McCay, the minister of an elderly Wesley Dodds (the Golden Age Sandman), is guided by apocalyptic imagery drawn from the Book of Revelation and by The Spectre. He must decide the fate of humanity - whether to allow the metahumans to be killed en masse and save the rest of humanity, or to allow them to survive, but doom the world.This series was followed by The Kingdom, which introduces the concept of Hypertime by having the Kingdom Come future superheroes fight alongside their present-day mainstream continuity counterparts, and Thy Kingdom Come.Unusually for a graphic novel, Kingdom Come also has a full Novelization by Elliot S! Maggin, which expands slightly on the comic's events and is generally considered to be at least as good if not better than the highly beloved graphic novel itself.See also Justice, a similar miniseries also painted by Alex Ross that attempts to reconstruct The Golden Age of Comic Books and The Silver Age of Comic Books after this series deconstructed The Dark Age of Comic Books.Although no animated adaptation has been made (and likely will never be, due to Warner Bros considering the art style of Alex Ross too hard to replicate), several elements of the comics have made it to live-action: The comic's incarnation of Superman appears in the Arrowverse's 6th Crisis Crossover, an adaptation of Crisis on Infinite Earths, portrayed by Brandon Routh (who played him in Superman Returns instead of Christopher Reeve), who also plays Ray Palmer in Legends of Tomorrow, with a bit of Canon Welding to move the events of Kingdom Come to the timeline of Returns and by proxy, the original Superman film series; specifically, the Joker gassing the Daily Planet and killing Lois Lane. The same crossover event also features a version of Batman, played by Kevin Conroy (who had been voicing the character regularly in various media since Batman: The Animated Series), wearing the exoskeleton used by the comic's incarnation. However, this Batman is not a straight adaptation but a Composite Character with elements of the incarnations from The Dark Knight Returns and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, both of which it heavily deconstructs by turning him into an Evil Counterpart who went after Superman with the same justification the Dark Knight Returns incarnation did, and with the same intent as and for the same xenophobic reasons the DCEU Batman did, sans the Heel Realization that stopped the DCEU Batman from going through with it. The golden eagle armor of Wonder Woman that first appeared in this comic series makes its cinematic debut in Wonder Woman 1984.

 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_116f6f1c
comment
Self-Plagiarism: Before Kingdom Come, Alex Ross designed the characters of Astro City. There are at least two references to this work: Wonder Woman's winged armor cause her to somewhat resemble Winged Victory, herself a Captain Ersatz of Wonder Woman. Joker's Daughter's clown motif and red-and-green, diamond-shape pattern costume make her look like a Distaff Counterpart to Jack-in-the-Box.

Comic-Book Fantasy Casting
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_11bc87bc
comment
Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Bruce Wayne's appearance is partially based on Gregory Peck. This is a nod to the much lauded Batman: Year One by Dave Mazucchelli and Frank Miller. Ross tend to model some characters after other comic book authors. The most blatant examples are Joker's Daughter and 666, modeled after Jill Thompson and her husband Brian Azzarello.

Victory Is Boring
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_1206dd74
comment
Victory Is Boring: This is what happened as a result of the new generation of heroes wiping out most of the villains for good. The numerous fights and battles that occurred happened because they were bored. The first illustrates this by showing many of the antiheroes fighting against each other, but then later on will team up with people they'd just been trying to kill for no given reason. They don't actually care who they're fighting just as long as they get to fight.

Cool Old Guy: Norman McCay is an old reverend who single-handedly manages to stop Superman's rampage in the final issue. In the Novelization, Norman meets Wesley Dodds, who's in his nineties, in a gym; Wesley is doing exercises a man in his twenties would be doing. Elderly Bruce Wayne is no slouch either, and someone reading it today would be pleasantly reminded in some ways of Bruce's portrayal in Batman Beyond a few years later.

The Cameo: Many, especially in the bar scene— keep an eye out for Rorschach, who shows up a few times. Examples include: Alex Ross himself, with long hair, in the Planet Krypton chapter. Alex Ross' mother, twice: cheering at Superman in a crowd and in the end, watching Norman McCay's mass. Björk, on a poster in the street and in a crowd. Fat Albert and the gang. Non, from Superman 2. Lobo, bald and in bad shape. An aging Fire, asking to see her old friend Booster Gold, who works as a manager at Planet Krypton. Monty Python The Beatles Watchmen Krypto the Super Dog and Comet the Super Horse Village People Columbia and Riff Raff from The Rocky Horror Picture Show The Monkees Tommy and the Acid Queen from Music/Tommy Spider Man, Captain America and Thor Sherlock Holmes The Shadow Chernabog from Fantasia

Cold Equation: The Spectre demands that Norman McCay decide on humanity's worth. When Norman points out that the world is too fragmented to allow for an accurate judgement, the Spectre simply tells him to "judge carefully". At the climax Norman finally calls him out for quantifying humanity as a destructive species.

Framing Device: The Spectre recruits Norman to assist him in the coming apocalypse to judge the guilty, because Norman inherited the visions of The Sandman. The Spectre guides Norman as an unseen observer to the incidents providing the most context to what happens. Norman only interacts with the characters twice, once when The Flash catches them observing them in the watchtower and again at the end where he intervenes himself to get Superman to calm down and reclaim his humanity. Norman also helps the Spectre regain his humanity.

comment
Not the Intended Use: Captain Marvel summons magic lightning by saying "Shazam". Normally he's struck by it and transforms, but in the final battle he repeatedly dodges his own lightning with his Super-Speed (Speed of Mercury) to blast Superman, who can be hurt through magic. This only backfires on him when Superman tanks one blast to hold him in place so that Marvel transforms back to Billy.

comment
Crapsack World: Ten years after Superman and most other famous superheroes have retired, the world becomes overrun with more and more violent metahumans. Their fights are a constant source of collateral damage and put countless civilian lives in danger; many now compare hero/villain fights to gang wars. The Kansas tragedy sterilizes America's breadbasket, throwing the world's economy into near-collapse with the threat of global famine. There are also more subtle signs of how crappy this world is, like when Norman McCay is offered a signed baseball from the last world series ever played.

comment
The Omniscient Council of Vagueness: The Quintessence, consisting of The Phantom Stranger, Zeus, Ganthet, Shazam and The Spectre. The Spectre bristles at their avowed unwillingness to meddle in the affairs of mortals when Shazam begs the others to help Captain Marvel, accusing them of just being too scared to interfere and just have these meetups to tell each other "no". Deadman tells Norman in the Novelization that the last time they interfered, it resulted in The Trojan War, so naturally they're a little gunshy.

By the end, he's learned his lesson and has become a true hero (and teacher).

Thou Shalt Not Kill
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_2f94135c
comment
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Explored in the story. It's the violation of this creed that is a major part of why Superman abandons humanity. It's also the one thing that he and Batman have in common, no matter how distant their philosophies get, and the way Superman convinces him to intervene at the Gulag: to prevent as much loss of life as possible. Wonder Woman, Superman's lieutenant and future lover, does not share this credo.

Deconstructor Fleet: When a bunch of “superheroes� with a darker and grittier approach towards crime than Batman and other classic heroes starts targeting villains, they wipe out a significant amount of them in about 10 years. But when there is no one else to fight, they begin fighting each other, and everyone nearby feels the full effect of their battles. Superman is easily one of the greatest superheroes of all, if not the greatest. He’s the paragon of the classic superhero age, and almost everyone looks up to him. So what he happens when a great figure many look up for guidance just leaves? Who do people go to for advice or help? When public support swings toward anti-heroes, everyone looks to Magog the preeminent crimefighter among the new breed. But his catastrophic actions only make things worse and help usher in a dark age. Killing dozens of villains for peace may eliminate a good chunk of crime, but that does not mean crime is gone for good. Also, after years of He Who Fights Monsters battles, the “heroes� are no longer fighting villains but fighting each other; sometimes out of dislike, mostly of them out of boredom, and all of society suffers in the long run. Having a set of uncompromisingly moral superheroes may look good on paper, but the very inflexibility of the classic superheroes' moral compasses lead to a constant tug of war between good and evil, with no end in sight. This in turn makes people look up to "heroes" that have far less qualms about end things once and for all via lethal means. This is most noticeable with Superman and Magog's case, where, after public opinion swings in favor of Magog after his murder of the Joker, the Man of Steel elects to exile himself from the world, rather than publicly confront his rival and his ideals, along with the possibility that his own ideals might have flaws. Often, for purely narrative purposes, comic stories depict superheroes either fighting each other or knowingly provoking a superhuman brawl on public ground, causing reckless, almost wanton destruction and after everything is resolved, they simply walk (or fly) away as if nothing had happened, without any consequences, often even making light of it. Examples: A superhero, just by Rule of Cool, will pick up a random car on the street and bludgeon some supervillain with it, or makes a dramatic entrance by landing onto a vehicle. In this story it is shown how ridiculous, violent and selfish a metahuman would need to be to so thoughtlessly destroy public property and risk the lives of civilians just for the sake of showing off.

However it soon becomes an Earn Your Happy Ending, since we see that Superman and Wonder Woman are going to have a baby and they want Bruce to be the godfather and 1000 years in the future the Legion of Super-Heroes fly over a large group of connected people which includes Superman himself.

Central Theme: The loss of humanity through justifying your actions, whether it be taking a life or throwing your power around to get people to fall in line. All the classic silver age heroes lose their connection to the very people they swore to protect, Superman retires to his Fortress of Solitude, Wonder Woman is stripped of her royal title because she spends more time as an ambassador of peace (and crimefighter) than as a more proactive warriornote She was told by her mother that her ambassador efforts hadn't changed Mankind one iota, Flash exists in constant motion unable to interact with anyone, Green Lantern remains in a watchtower construct in orbit over Earth and Batman polices Gotham via drones. As such the new generation, who idolized the classic heroes, are left without guidance and fight each other as much as they fight supervillains. In the Novelization, Norman's narration repeats several times "There is a right and a wrong in this universe. And that distinction is not hard to make."

Heroic Sacrifice: In the Novelization, Lois Lane. She stalls The Joker long enough for Superman to arrive and bring him to justice. Part of the reason that Superman abandoned humanity was that Magog made Lois' act a Senseless Sacrifice. Captain Marvel ends up tanking a nuke to try to save the superheroes. While it saves many lives, there are still plenty of casualties. The Blackhawk jet fighters who deliver the nukes. According to the Novelization, they weren't expected to survive the blasts. Alloy (which is a literal amalgam of the Metal Men) protects Magog from dying from a nuclear blast. Magog isn't completely protected, as he shows signs of radiation sickness.

Stealth Hi/Bye
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_7012424f
comment
Stealth Hi/Bye: Clark vanishes while Bruce's back is turned to him. The latter comments "So that's what that feels like", lampshading how it's Batman who tends to disappear while the interlocutor is distracted. In the epilogue, Clark wonders in bafflement how it was possible that Bruce is able to sneak up on them at a restaurant, even with his superhearing and X-Ray vision: "There you are. You snuck up on me. Me. How do you do that?" After Norman gives his speech during the climax, The Spectre removes him from the scene, leaving Superman confused and frustrating Norman, who wants to talk to him some more. Norman muses that The Spectre has a better sense of drama than Norman does.

comment
Deconstruction Crossover: For the sake of exploring the moral and philosophical differences between the Silver Age and Dark Age ideals of hero. Although it's generally considered primarily a deconstruction of the latter, the former don't escape unscathed either.

Clark Kenting: Explored in the end, where each of the heroes unmask themselves and join society, eliminating their secret identities altogether. While in a Justice League themed chain restaurant "Planet Krypton," featuring serving staff dressed as the classic characters, Clark, Diana and Bruce enjoy a meal together and are largely undisturbed. In the same scene Diana even mentions that Clark wrote the book on secret identities.

Once More, with Clarity
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_7374ab13
comment
Once More, with Clarity: One of Norman's first visions is a dim, shadowed glimpse of a muscular man on his knees, screaming in a smoke-filled landscape. Apparently it's part of the looming apocalypse. At this point Superman is now bearded and cut off from the world. Over the course of the first act, he sees Superman and the Justice League return to work. He's exulting in their first public heroism like the Innocent Bystanders, until he has the vision again (or just remembers it) and it's clearly Superman in his current form. Superman's return hasn't prevented the apocalypse at all, it's a necessary step towards the end.

Not Used to Freedom
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_77d494f0
comment
Not Used to Freedom: Played for Drama. At some point during the other heroes' retirement, Orion finally defeats and kills his monstrous father. However, when he attempted to free the enslaved population of Apokolips, the people long since broken by Darkseid's tyranny can't handle the concept. As such, they force Orion to become their new dictator, and overall nothing has changed, except that Orion doesn't actively oppress his people the way Darkseid did, viewing himself as more of a prison warden, and lets Barda and Scott Free preach liberty and revolution in the vain hope that they'll succeed where he failed. The experience has effectively broken Orion, who wearily wonders if all sons are doomed to become their fathers, and offers to help Superman by taking on all his prisoners, as they can't possibly be worse than his current subjects.

Final Battle: The Rogues break out from the Gulag, the Justice League answers the call with anger until The Outsiders arrive to try to stop everyone from killing each other; it balloons into a battle that can consume the Earth, so the joint powers of humanity decide to nuke all fighters out of existence; the only two people that can stop the nuke are fighting each other; the nuke drops with the bomber asking for forgiveness for killing the heroes of the Earth; Captain Marvel emerges from his brainwashing to give a few seconds window to the people below; he triggers the bomb before the payload is deployed, allowing a handful to survive... though they are all dead to Superman's eyes... and he's pissed.

Ideal Hero
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_869c31aa
comment
Having a set of uncompromisingly moral superheroes may look good on paper, but the very inflexibility of the classic superheroes' moral compasses lead to a constant tug of war between good and evil, with no end in sight. This in turn makes people look up to "heroes" that have far less qualms about end things once and for all via lethal means. This is most noticeable with Superman and Magog's case, where, after public opinion swings in favor of Magog after his murder of the Joker, the Man of Steel elects to exile himself from the world, rather than publicly confront his rival and his ideals, along with the possibility that his own ideals might have flaws.

comment
Refusal of the Call: Norman in the Novelization, when he learns The Spectre won't prevent the upcoming Armageddon, and merely wants Norm to judge the guilty. Norm quickly judges The Spectre and basically flips him off. In a powerful subversion of the trope, there isn't even a The Call Knows Where You Live. After realizing Superman will be the catalyst of the impending disaster, Norm realizes that it's going to happen anyway and maybe he can help avert it in some way. He does, and it's implied The Spectre knew he would.

That Man Is Dead: During most of the story, Superman has completely abandoned Clark Kent, giving minor Death Glares to people who call him by that name, forcing them to address him as "Kal". (Batman, naturally, keeps calling him "Clark".) When Supes realizes that he lost a lot more than a secret identity when he abandoned being a part of the human race, he becomes Clark once more at the end. The Novelization explores it further, when Norm notes that Superman has a hard time addressing the press. When Superman becomes Clark again, he talks easily and naturally to a crowd, having regained Clark's people and reporter skills.

Kill All Humans
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_8b1a664
comment
The human race is let off fairly easily for having nuked the metahuman race. Although Superman was going to Kill All Humans, he is talked down by Norman McCay. Justified in that the U.N. had sent the nukes out of fear, something that the heroes ended up causing, so it was up to everyone involved to work together and trust each other to never allow that to happen again. Many view the UN's actions as just retribution, as a relative handful of metahumans (Magog's "Justice Battalion" and the Parasite) are directly responsible for the nuclear razing of Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska, costing countless innocent lives.

Literal Metaphor: Aside from being a reference to a passage in the book of Isaiah, the motto of the United Nations, where superhumans and humans finally reach an accord, is "And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." (In fact, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman have their picture taken in front of the plaque that bears it in the Novelization.) The end of the book as Superman using a giant plowshare, to indicate there will be no more war. (One wonders if Superman literally forged it out of swords. Knowing Supes...)

The League don't seem to realize that putting hundreds of angry metahumans in a gulag might not go well if containment is breached. Aquaman does, which is why he refuses. In the Novelization, an angry US Secretary-General tells them that un-powered criminals manage to break out of high security prisons on a regular basis:

"Blind Idiot" Translation: In the scene where Superman attempts to destroy the UN building and kill everyone inside, the Filipino delegate says "Siva ulo! Nandiyan na ang siva ulo! Papatayin niya tayo ulo!", which literally translates to "Damaged Head!note i.e. "Insane" but it should be "sira" instead of "siva" for the term "damaged"; and "sira" (damaged) and "ulo" (head) should be a single compound word There is already the damaged head! He's going to kill us! Heads!" The authorial intent apparently is closer to "There is (or 'here comes') (the face of) death! He has death in his head (or "on his mind")!", but that requires much longer sentences for a correct translation. In the climactic battle, when Von Bach is ready to kill Zatara, he says "Du wurst wie eine wanze zerquetscht!!" He's supposed to say "You'll be squashed like a bug!", but to that effect, he should have said Du wirst ("You will") instead of Du Wurst ("You sausage"). Justified in the novelization which reveals that Von Bach is a poser who likes German affectations but is not German. At one point, World War II veteran Captain Comet tells him that no German would say Schweinhundt, just Schwein.

Laser-Guided Karma
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: Lex Luthor and his "Mankind Liberation Front" (a collection of Silver Age villains) attempt to exploit the metahuman war and Take Over the World. They end up being forced to work by Batman in his makeshift hospital for the casualties of the civil war. Lex himself is emptying bedpans. Karma's laser is further guided by the relative sins of the various members of the Front. For example, Selina Kyle, Edward Nygma and Joe Carny, who were basically glorified thieves with a gimmick, have fairly light duties at the hospital which appear to involve mainly minor nursing / orderly duties for the patients; Edward in particular is entertaining the younger patients with magic tricks. Would-be world-conquerors and megalomaniacs like Luthor and Kobra, however, have more demeaning and menial duties such as cleaning the floors and, in Luthor's case, washing out bedpans. Savage, meanwhile, uses his extensive medical knowledge to help with burn victims. Ibn also helps, but he's the only one without a restraining collar since he's a mole.

Men Get Old, Women Get Replaced
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_91e22f0a
comment
Men Get Old, Women Get Replaced: While many of the male heroes come out of retirement after Superman does, most of the female superheroes stay retired and have been replaced in this distant future. Examples include Supergirl, Black Canary, Catwoman, Starfire, and Zatanna. A handful of exceptions include Wonder Woman, Power Woman, and Jade, and only the latter has aged all that much, since it's established that Wonder Woman is immortal and Kryptonians like Power Girl not only age at a reduced rate, but get Stronger with Age.

Corrupted Character Copy
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_922ec657
comment
Corrupted Character Copy Magog, being a Take That! at Rob Liefeld, is a Jerkass and demented version of Cable, though this is subverted somewhat as Magog manages to be redeem himself after a Despair Event Horizon and helps the Justice League. He still proves to be the villainous opposite of Cable in later comics though, as seen in Infinite Frontier where he joins the Injustice Incarnate whom mean to keep the worlds of the Multiverse separate, whereas Marvel's Cable is all about hopping between universes for the greater good. Minor character Americommando is a bloodthirsty, psychotic version of Captain America.

Re-Power
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_92a6952d
comment
Repower: Lots of the Golden Agers get big power boosts as Waid draws their abilities to the logical conclusion. Especially The Flash, who has become one with the Speed Force and now exists as a living blur in constant, never-ending motion. Superman's power level in general is boosted and he becomes immune to kryptonite due to all those years soaking up the sun. And in the Novelization, in the end Superman becomes immune to magic because he realizes its fundamental paradox. Alan Scott (a Green Lantern) has fused his power battery into his chest. Unlike Superman, however, he still retains his original weakness - to wood. While he's effectively invincible otherwise, Oliver Queen is able to punch right through his Powered Armor with regular arrows. On the other hand, Alan survives the nuke while Oliver doesn't. Batman uses powered armor and keeps his city safe with robotic drones. This one overlaps with Disability Superpower: Batman has taken so many beatings over the years, his body has said "so long" and pretty much given up. He is dependent on an exoskeleton to be able to walk, and covering that in armor wasn't a big step. Doctor Mid-Nite (now called simply "Midnight"), who once used smoke bombs, now exists as a living smoke cloud that fills out his costume's cape. Garfield Logan — once called "Beast Boy" and "Changeling", now called "Menagerie" — can only shapeshift into fictitious creatures, such as the Jabberwock from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. Doctor Fate, now called Fate V, is now merely the helmet and cape, having gained sentience from the many hosts it has used.

Beware the Superman
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_953c92eb
comment
Beware the Superman: The series focuses on both the catastrophic damage and morale-depleting effects that having godlike beings on the planet positioned so far above humanity that they can essentially do whatever they want without consequence can cause. Although the younger generation of anti-heroes are the most obvious example of this, the story takes pains to point out that the older, more traditional generation aren't without blame either. The trope is literally invoked in the book's climax when a grief-maddened Superman nearly collapses the United Nations building upon the heads of everyone inside.

Villainous Breakdown
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_957e5fc2
comment
Villainous Breakdown: Magog. He goes down without Superman even touching him. He just collapses to his knees at the weight of the guilt over the destruction of Kansas. Luthor has a mild one part way through the story; for most of it, he's smug and in control, but when one of his confederates raises the question of whether he's concerned about Superman's return his immediate response is to violently scream that Superman will not get near him before he calms down.

Never My Fault: The antiheroes don't understand why they've been put in the Gulag, exclaiming they've stopped multiple dangerous villains and say that they're heroes. They don't bother to acknowledge the other reasons why they were imprisoned, like their rampant disregard for human lives and the fact they're a bunch of thrill-seeking adrenaline junkies constantly fighting one another out of sheer boredom.

"Not So Different" Remark
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_984ef9ef
comment
"Not So Different" Remark: A primary theme throughout the story. In flexing their strength to bring the metahuman population under control, the reformed Justice League makes the exact same mistake that the current generation of anti-heroes made. In a brief visit to Apokolips, Superman finds Orion has overthrown Darkseid but his reign turns out to be much the same as that of his father- he rules because the slave population finds freedom just as terrifying a prospect as fascism, and promptly elect him as their leader. Other than that, he seems to view himself more as a prison warden, keeping the worst of the 'lowlies' on Apokolips under his sway, rather than inflicting them upon the rest of the universe, and he lets Barda and Scott Free preach freedom and revolution (presumably in the hope that they'll succeed where he fails). Shortly after meeting Orion, Superman end up forced to build an immense metahuman prison called the Gulag and the narration mentions how familiar it looks, particularly as it resembles the Legion of Doom's skull-shaped headquarters. After all the events are over, the Spectre tells Norman McCay that he and the superheroes he just saved are not so different: both exist to bring hope. Wonder Woman is Superman's lieutenant and one of the Justice League's main proponents in the cause to reestablish order by reigning in the renegade metahumans. But both Superman and Batman note, on separate occasions, that she has become nearly as violent and reactionary as the beings she fights. In the second visit he pays to the Batcave, Superman tells Batman that, despite their differences, they share a principle in common: Thou Shalt Not Kill.

Foreshadowing: Orion's segment in Apokolips serves as a warning to Superman and the Justice League of the unforeseen ramifications their actions might lead to and how their noble intentions could backfire in the worst way possible. As Diana prepares her armor, Superman grabs her sword and cuts himself on its edge, to which she reminds him that he's vulnerable to magic. Cue the battle at the Gulag, where Superman is stopped from intervening by brainwashed (and fellow Flying Brick) Captain Marvel... him being Superman's magic equal.

Karma Houdini: The human race is let off fairly easily for having nuked the metahuman race. Although Superman was going to Kill All Humans, he is talked down by Norman McCay. Justified in that the U.N. had sent the nukes out of fear, something that the heroes ended up causing, so it was up to everyone involved to work together and trust each other to never allow that to happen again. Many view the UN's actions as just retribution, as a relative handful of metahumans (Magog's "Justice Battalion" and the Parasite) are directly responsible for the nuclear razing of Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska, costing countless innocent lives. Swastika is among the few to survive the nuke. Although he technically doesn't do much notable bad stuff, he's a flagrant neo-Nazi with a swastika tattooed across his entire body. Vandal Savage, as viewed by The Spectre. The Spectre would do anything to punish Savage - except for the fact Savage is immortal, and out of Spectre's purview. With that said, Savage ends up helping Bruce Wayne in his clinic, showing his knowledge of medicine picked up over a millennial lifetime, so you could say he earned his redemption..

After the nuke clears, the Spectre is about to leave the despondent Superman to blow at the UN Assembly, but Norman stops him, saying leaving Superman to his rage would be nothing less than pure evil, and demands to be taken with him so he can calm him down and guide him to the truth he and metahumanity and humanity need.

You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Norman's reaction to the The Spectre stating their job was done after the bomb is dropped on the metahumans, leaving one very pissed Superman in its wake. Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) says the trope nearly word for word when it's revealed that the figure of Captain Marvel that they've all been scared of is actually Billy Batson grown to adulthood.

Anti-Hero
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_beb9a361
comment
Anti-Hero: Magog and his cronies are these. A large part of the book hinges on the difference between antiheroes and traditional heroes, to the point where the whole thing can be seen as a metaphor for The Dark Age of Comic Books with the rise of the '90s Anti-Hero and the decline in popularity of the Silver Age super heroes and the coinciding loss of morality in comics, and the eventual need to bring those ideals back. It also explores the differences between anti-heroes and villains. That difference is what breaks Magog in the end.

comment
Both Sides Have a Point: Superman and his crew are right that the anti-heroes have become too bloodthirsty and overzealous, blurring the binary of hero and villain, losing track of concepts like collateral damage and simply not caring about the people not on their power level. But the anti-heroes are also right in their belief that simply beating up Supervillains and tossing them in jail is a temporary solution at best and useless at worst because of Joker Immunity and that they refuse to consider that their own ideology might have flaws.

A Nazi by Any Other Name: According to the creators, the character of Von Bach comes from stories from The Golden Age of Comic Books where superheroes would fight Hitler, or thinly veiled Hitler Captain Ersatz dictators. He even speaks in German, and is covered in tattoos of far right German symbols. And the fact that the design for Swastika, whose tattoos form a giant swastika across his entire body, was originally designed as Von Bach, confirms this. The Novelization reveals Von Bach's hero is Marshal Tito.

Let's You and Him Fight
 Kingdom Come (Comic Book) / int_c3bdfbb9
comment
Often, for purely narrative purposes, comic stories depict superheroes either fighting each other or knowingly provoking a superhuman brawl on public ground, causing reckless, almost wanton destruction and after everything is resolved, they simply walk (or fly) away as if nothing had happened, without any consequences, often even making light of it. Examples: A superhero, just by Rule of Cool, will pick up a random car on the street and bludgeon some supervillain with it, or makes a dramatic entrance by landing onto a vehicle. In this story it is shown how ridiculous, violent and selfish a metahuman would need to be to so thoughtlessly destroy public property and risk the lives of civilians just for the sake of showing off.

Superman is easily one of the greatest superheroes of all, if not the greatest. He’s the paragon of the classic superhero age, and almost everyone looks up to him. So what he happens when a great figure many look up for guidance just leaves? Who do people go to for advice or help? When public support swings toward anti-heroes, everyone looks to Magog the preeminent crimefighter among the new breed. But his catastrophic actions only make things worse and help usher in a dark age.

Oddly enough, he doesn't seem able to use his newfound omnipresence to any actual use, especially in the ending where it might have been REALLY useful (simply because he can't pick anyone up to save them or they'll be vaporized by air friction and the Speed Force itself. The other speedsters are able to help, however.) As such, he's Blessed with Suck: Wally achieving godhood had its sacrifices; as noted above he is in perpetual motion, he can't stop moving ever, the times where he seems to be still is just Wally moving in a short space while circling through... well, everywhere else at the same time, basically an illusion. Also it forces him to cut ties with everyone he knows; since now he basically lives in another reality altogether, no one can keep up with him to even communicate with the guy, Superman is the only one who can talk with Wally, and even then, that's only by processing what Wally says some time after the actual conversation.

Real Men Take It Black: In the epilogue to the collected edition, Clark, Diana and Bruce meet up at Planet Krypton restaurant. While Clark has milk and Diana gets some water, Bruce's drink order is "Coffee. Black. And keep it coming."

Eco-Terrorist: Former hero Hawkman has essentially become a mild version of this, who has no hesitation about using violence against loggers and others who threaten his precious Pacific Northwest.

comment
Sharpened to a Single Atom: Wonder Woman has a magic sword that is sharp enough to "carve the electrons off an atom". Leaving aside the ways that doesn't actually make sense, it suggests a blade with an edge thinner than an atom. Superman accidentally cuts himself on the blade.

Artistic License – Physics

comment
Artistic License – Physics: Detonating a nuclear weapon in the atmosphere, not on a surface, just spreads fallout further. Captain Marvel would have made the bomb more destructive, not less. To be fair, it does still kill anyone who is not shielded (like those protected by Green Lantern’s shield) or invulnerable to the nuke’s effects (like Superman).

Canon Immigrant: The version of Superman introduced in Kingdom Come was later incorporated into the main DC continuity and interacted with the Justice Society. The Kingdom Come-verse is officially Earth-22 of the post-Infinite Crisis multiverse. Versions of a number of Kingdom Come characters also ended up in the Main DCU's JSA, including Atom Smasher, Cyclone, and even Magog himself. Alloy showed up in in Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Then again, the Metal Men combining is just too good an idea not to use... Justice League: Generation Lost, which had a major subplot having to do with the events of Kingdom Come, actually did use it. In a reversal of this, Rorschach shows up twice in the bar scene... at one point talking to the character he's an Expy of, The Question. The (Kid) Flash of this series later shows up in a few other stories, and is identified as Iris West II. Taken a step further, the mainstream Wally West eventually has twins, one of whom is named Iris "Irey" West II, who becomes the second Impulse.

comment
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Magog. While he does value innocent lives, his Fatal Flaw is that he doesn't value all life as Superman does. It comes back to bite him in the ass when his zealotry costs millions of lives. Superman. Green Arrow admits to people at the Good-Guy Bar that Superman has the best of intentions, but he's a bull in a China shop and isn't quite suited to dealing with the current day's problems. Orion. Scott Free says in his underbreath to Superman that Orion is trying his best to do good, then loudly exclaims — so that the lowlies hear him — that he's a buffoon tyrant.

Brick Joke: A subtle one that spans two Alex Ross publications and a decade in between. The mind-controlling bugs that Lex Luthor uses on Captain Marvel show up also in Justice, a 2005-07 miniseries also featuring art by Ross, with the kicker that Luthor actually stole them from Doctor Sivana in the first place, Sivana being Captain Marvel's arch-enemy.

Badass Preacher: Norman McCay, with touches of Badass Pacifist. He never fires a shot or throws a single punch, but through the power of his sermons, he singlehandedly saves the UN, and by extension the entire world from Superman.

Stronger with Age: Superman, who is not vulnerable to Kryptonite anymore. But magic can still harm him. In the Novelization, at the end not even magic can harm him, and that Hephaestus' sword can't injure him. Why? He discovered the paradox of magic. Then there's Power Woman, Power Girl at her most muscular.
