Article Summary

In Absolute Power, Amanda Waller turned off the world's superpowers, heroes and villains alike, and made deals to isolate the Earth from alien, multiversal, and time-travelling threats. The superheroes punished her for this, imprisoning her and removing her memory of them. But there was very little examination of whether she was actually right or not. In January 2025, DC Comics publish DC Power: Rise Of The Power Company #1 by Brandon Thomas, Vita Ayala, John Jennings, Zipporah Smith, Ray-Anthony Height, Caanan White, Kelsey Ramsay, and Charles Stewart III. With the "Waller was Right" movement and the re-introduction of superpower lawyer Josiah Power, a team to fight back was put together: the Power Company.

And who put together a for-hire team of heroes along the lines of a law firm. Including Manhunter, Skyrocket, Witchfire, Bork, Firestorm, Sapphire and Striker Z. Now they have a brand new team… including Jo Mullein's Green Lantern, Jace Fox's Batman, Cyborg, The Signal, Black Lightning, Wallace West's Kid Flash, Bolt and Vixen according to these covers, "not only to protect black and brown communities from these new threats but also to rebuild human faith in heroes."

The Justice League's watchtower looming in the skies is intended to inspire hope and faith in superheroes, but not everyone believes metahumans act in humanity's best interests. The fringe beliefs that "Waller was Right" have grown louder as paramilitary groups take to the streets to take Earth back for the human race. Enter Josiah Power, a meta-attorney who's seen enough of rising hate and sets out to assemble a team not only to protect black and brown communities from these new threats but also to rebuild human faith in heroes.
DC Power returns for a third year in a new format, continuing the storylines from Absolute Power and All In and setting the stage for the return of the Power Company!
