Discover shifting powers in DC's world after the Absolute Power comics series mix things up.
Kids with unstable powers are taken by the Justice League to a space-based facility.
The Atom Project sparks conspiracy theories akin to a New World Order narrative.
Explore the intriguing storyline crafted by John Ridley, Ryan Parrott, and Mike Perkins.

One of the many scoops that Bleeding Cool ran this year was that the superpowers of the DC Comics Universe were about to get thrown up in the air, as a result of the Absolute Power comic book series. And so it came to pass. Lois Lane has got General Zod's powers; Fire and Ice have mixed them up; Plastic Man is turning invisible; Black Canary has heat vision; Supergirl has hypnosis powers; Barry Allen has nothing, that sort of thing. Clock King has new powers over memory and time perception, Wally West can generate his own duplicate, and some other civilians have found themselves with powers they weren't expecting and have no idea how to control, especially if they are kids. We've seen that in Black Lightning, people who may be having a bit of a bad day are picked up off the streets of Metropolis and sent to space to the Watchtower. Today, it's in Justice League: The Atom Project, courtesy of John Ridley, Ryan Parrott, and Mike Perkins.

Basically they are kidnapping kids and keeping them on a space station, away from their parents. Concentration camps in space? They might as well throw them all into that Phantom Zone portal they have down the corridor… the conspiracy theories that will be built upon this…

"You know those Justice League New World Order types? They've got kids up in that space station of theirs, and they won't bring them down; the parents don't even know what's going on…" Puts Pizzagate to shame, doesn't it?
