What Did Pariah Do With The Justice League? (Dark Crisis Spoilers)

Poor old Pariah. Knocked around the multiverse, partially responsible for the original Crisis On Infinite Earths, and given the name for a reason, he is really living up to it in today's Dark Crisis #1. The recent Justice League: Road To Dark Crisis one-shot tried to give that a little emotional heft, with Pariah's continuity-deleted family haunting him, demanding justice and restoration. And so Pariah takes a more nihilistic view of reality, as one where darkness – great or otherwise – is a motivating force.

So he is going to kill everyone on Earth Zero to gain

Damn it, he's doing it again. Didn't he learn the last time around? But it does show that, while the Justice League are dead and their deaths used to power the Great Machine, that they are being maintained in some kind of reality bubble – and that may inform all the one-shots coming in Dark Crisis, along the lines of Earth-Flash seen in recent Flash comic books. Everyone gets an Earth?

No wonder the Psycho-Pirate is hiding out in Flashpoint Beyond #2…
