comment
Millennium was a DC Comics crossover miniseries published as a weekly in the year 1988... twelve years before the actual millennium change. The basic concept was that the Guardians Of The Universe chose ten humans to father the next race that will take over their duties, and they ask Earth's heroes to protect them from the Manhunters, a race of androids with a grudge against the Guardians. Things get more complicated when it turns out that the Manhunters have infiltrated the personal lives of all of the heroes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Often considered among the worst of DC's crossovers, due to a variety of factors, but mainly because of a confusing number of tie-ins (56 issues!), blatant and inexplicable retcons, and a group of Chosen Ones that were largely unlikable ethnic stereotypes. Its Spin-Off, The New Guardians, didn't get much better, but at least featured Snowflame, a villain who got his powers from cocaine use, and The Hemo-Goblin, a vampire who gave people AIDS when he bit them.This comic is not be confused with the various other works named Millennium.

Captain Ethnic: What most of The Chosen turned out to be in the end (and the major complaint about the series.) The worst example might be Gregorio De La Vega, a Latino Gay Man (with AIDS), who transforms into... the sorcerer Extraño (Spanish for "Strange".)

Beneath the Earth: The location of the final Manhunter base. Also, Wonder Woman spends some time in Tartarus during her tie-ins. The second Outsiders tie-in features the Outsiders defending the underground kingdom of Abyssia from the Manhunters.

Blood Knight: The Manhunters, who became obsessed with the *act* of hunting criminals rather than dispensing justice.

Anti-Climax: After all that build up, at the end of the series, when the moment comes for the Chosen to be transformed, they become... your average superheroes.
