Lex Luthor – New 52 | Comics

There is one thing that is bigger than Lex Luthor's brilliance and wealth; his ego. A self-made man with a superiority complex, he made fortune by selling Battlesuits as the owner of LexCorp and that's how he became the most dominant business of Metropolis.

He was recruited into a secret government project Project: Steel Soldier against Superman with General Lane. Luthor stole Kryptonite from them and then leaked the news to Clark Kent. He was imprisoned for helping Brainiac but was released for lack of evidence.

After Justice League was formed, he was sent to prison again for selling super-weapons, thanks to Superman. During his time in prison, Superman would've visited him many times for his opinion on scientific catastrophes as well as Pandora (Trinity War).

Luthor was released and returned as CEO of LexCorp. When the Crime Syndicate took over the world, he decided to stop them. So, he assembled Bizarro, Black Adam, Black Manta, Captain Cold, Deathstroke and Sinestro to aid the duo of Batman and Catwoman.

He managed to save Nightwing's life, killed his Earth 3 counterpart and then defeated Ultraman (Forever Evil). Afterwards, he was considered as a hero and eventually joined the Justice League to fight the Amazo Virus (Injustice League).

As Darkseid dies after his battle with Anti-Monitor, Luthor absorbed a large amount of Anti-Life Equation energy, becoming the "God of Apokolips" and ruled Apokolips (Darkseid War). He returned to Earth after "The Final Days of Superman" and took his mantle wearing Superman's cape.

In the aftermath of the major universe changing and reality altering "Flashpoint" crossover event, a new chronological run began which is the timeline of Prime Earth and is known as The New 52. A rebooted tale of how one of the greatest super-hero team in history was formed in the new universe is focused on "Justice League – Origin". The story is plotted by writer Geoff Johns (Flash – Rebirth, Green Lantern – Rebirth) and artist extraordinaire Jim Lee (Batman – Hush, Superman – For Tomorrow), published by DC Comics in 2011, which collected the first six issues of Justice League second monthly ongoing series.

Kneel Before Darkseid

Siding from the age-old established tale of forming the League on the first place, this plot takes a different dig at things and introduces the threat of Darkseid on a very early stage. This is most probably because, DC wanted to keep par with their current cinematic lineup from DC Extended Universe with their comic-book stories for the benefit of a new-age audience. A direct-to-video animated film titled "Justice League: War" was released on 2014, that has loosely adapted the storyline of this book. The arc is followed by "The Villain's Journey" by the same creator duo and their run ends with the second story.

Justice League – New 52 | Comics

It took an invasion of the extraterrestrial Parademons from the planet Apokolips on Earth on behalf of their master Darkseid to unite the World's greatest super-heroes to come together and form an uneasy alliance to defend Earth, which they successfully did in the end and effectively put a stop to the invasion. As the battle was a success, they banded together to work as a team to protect mankind and serve justice, thus forming the Justice League.

The initial roster of the team consists of Aquaman, Batman, Victor Stone as Cyborg, Hal Jordan as Green Lantern, Superman, Barry Allen as The Flash and Wonder Woman. Other members like Aquaman's wife Queen Mera, Atom, Deadman, Element Woman, Firestorm, Green Arrow, Hawkman and Lady Luck also joined occasionally as additional members in the League. The Justice League exists alongside two other superhero teams, Justice League Dark and Justice League International, both of whom operate separately with their own mission.

When there is a world-ending crisis, the League is there to respond to it immediately. The members of the League are individually operational to their own heroic duty or vigilantism in the base of their operations. Apart from taking on major super-villains like Amazo, Felix Faust or even the Crime Syndicate of Earth-3, they engage to other threats like Court of the Owls from Gotham and solo villains of the fellow team members when needed.

Finally, the dreaded Dark-God of Apokolips; Darkseid arrives on Earth looking for the Anti-Life Equation and the heroes fight with their lives to halt his advances.

As the League members were in on their satellite headquarters, he attacked them in their turf and defeated them all.

Using the ghosts of their loved ones, Graves easily outmatched heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman. They eventually see through Grave's deception and manages to defeat them with their combined effort. At the end of the conflict, Superman and Wonder Woman relate to the fact that how alone they really are in this world and how much they are alike.
