Justice League – The Villain's Journey | Comics

Heroes face tragedy and are reborn. Villains too can take this journey and cause the downfall of Justice League!

Five years after the formation of their team, Justice League is now considered as a trusted band of super-heroes among the people of Earth. They have helped Colonel Steve Trevor of A.R.G.U.S. and his soldiers fight a "Spore" infection caused by Dr. Samuel Street. A street-level vigilante hero just like Batman from Seattle without any superpowers named Green Arrow, assisted them on several occasion to become a member of the team only to get refused eventually but later is recruited by Trevor for Justice League of America.

In the mean time, writer David Graves, who named the team as Justice League in the first place and chronicles their adventures in a book, swears revenge on the heroes, claiming to lose his family in a disease during an invasion by Darkseid on Earth previously and blames them all for his loss. So, he deems that he was wrong about these superheroes and decides to use their liaison Steve Trevor as a weapon against them. Graves apparently have been diagnosed with cancer a while ago but mysteriously alive by some unknown means.

During a sudden break-out at Arkham Asylum, it is discovered that someone is secretly kidnapping and torturing former enemies of Justice League to gather vital information on them. Batman, Cyborg and Superman apprehends The Key during this outbreak. The Flash and Green Lantern tries to interrogate a villain named Weapons Master for information but then Wonder Woman had to step in and use her Lasso of Truth on him. He reveals that the person who drove The Key mad is now looking for ways to hurt the League.

Being Wonder Woman's claimed lover and his connection with Justice League got Steve Trevor kidnapped and brutally tortured by Graves. Trevor finally forced to give up when the villain threatened to hurt his family if he doesn't comply. Back in Watchtower, The Dark Knight assembled Aquaman, Cyborg, The Flash, Green Lantern, Superman and Diana to assess the current situation of their enemies getting targeted by some mysterious persona, who now knows more about them than they do about themselves.

Soon, Graves launches an attack on Justice League in their very own satellite base with his newly gained mystical powers and all of the League members were unable to repeal Graves' attack but entire group is pinned down even after giving their best efforts of opposing him. Afterwards, Diana punched Hal Jordan in a fit of rage and then she knocked out Man of Steel before Cyborg teleports them all far from there. Members of the League try to unite once again but finally left as broken pieces following the villains attack.

Aquaman – New 52 | Comics

Arthur Curry is mostly known as Aquaman, who is the half-Human and half-Atlantean ruler of Atlantis. This royal adventurer serves the best interest of Atlantis along with his partner princess Mera of Xebel. He was banished by his own people after a certain time of him acting as their king. So, he and Mera moved to Boston, where they gained a much positive standing than they had in Atlantis.

They both also took a stand against The Trench; a carnivorous underwater species, who were constantly attacking the city. When Darkseid; the evil god of Apokolips reached earth with his army of Parademons, the heroes of earth were trying to protect it against the odds (Justice League – Origin).

Aquaman then showed up at the scene of conflict and turned the tides of the entire battle against the Apokoliptian invading force. He then joined Batman, Cyborg, The Flash, Green Lantern, Superman and Wonder Woman in help saving the day. Afterwards, they all band together to form the Justice League and fought the villainous David Graves (Justice League – The Villain's Journey).

Arthur and Mera give a chase to Black Manta following his stealing of an Artifacts of Atlantis. Then the team "The Others" was formed with six individuals each possessing an Atlantean relic. A conspiracy made Aquaman to declare war on the surface world which he and the Justice League then tackled together (Justice League – Throne of Atlantis). Arthur then faced the Dead King to rescue Mera from his clutches upon settling Atlantean civil war.
