It was a bit hammy in the introduction but the Justice Society gets called right out for coming in to protect the US-coded mercenaries from Black Adam’s murder spee and being nowhere to be found when Kahndaq was invaded by them in the first place.
Of course, Black Adam as anything but a nationalistic tyrant is some straight up bullshit, but whatever.
Anyways, point is, I want more superheroes fighting imperialism.
Superman was created as an anti-fascist, and needs to return to his roots, not let a tornado kill his dad.
Superman’s real weakness was his lack of weaknesses. It made his physical character development non-existent so they were left with writing him into social situations. Superman is a MacGuffin, Clark is the main character.
Since the turn of the 21st century, however, Black Adam has been redefined by DC Comics writers Jerry Ordway, Geoff Johns, and David S. Goyer as an ancient Kahndaqi and corrupted antihero
Turning reactionary villains into woke antiheroes is based. We need to wokify comic books
Black Adam was free on Prime, so I said why not.

Superheroes fighting false information online would be nice. Or forcing public healthcare through government. Etc etc.
