This unique hero lineup marks the possible formation of a new Justice League Dark.
Wonder Woman Forms New Justice League Dark Team With John Constantine, Shazam, and More
Fans of Wonder Woman may remember her leadership in the 2018Justice League Darkseries, where she teamed up with Zatanna, Swamp Thing, Man-Bat, and Detective Chimp to fight against the supernatural and magical threats that the regular Justice League often struggles to address. Fast forward nearly six years,Wonder Woman#11 appears poised to rekindleDiana’s ties to the Justice League Dark.Among the six heroes she gathers, four—John Constantine, Detective Chimp, Madame Xanadu, and Jim “the Spectre” Corrigan—have deep connections to the occult and previous memberships in JLD teams.
WhileMary Marvel and Shazamlack previous ties to the JLD, their magical abilities naturally enhance this formidable roster. Their inclusion also introduces a unique dynamic, as both Mary and Billy are still children and have limited experience working with the other heroes, apart from Wonder Woman.With seven members, this team would become one of the largest and most diverse iterations of the Justice League Dark, should King choose to formally establish them as such. However, given the teased events, there’s an equal likelihood this team could dissolve as quickly as it forms.
How Will Wonder Woman’s Justice League Dark Team Hold Up Against an Amazo Without Their Powers?
The preview forWonder Woman#11 ends abruptly as one of Amanda Waller’s power-stealing Amazo robots attacks the heroes, marking the official start ofAbsolute Powerin King’s storyline. FollowingAbsolute Power#1, fans are aware that John Constantine loses his ability to wield magic. Moreover,Absolute Power: Task Force VII#1highlighted Billy and Mary’s escape from the Amazo, where they explain they owe their survival to Wonder Woman after losing most of their powers. Therefore,King’sWonder Woman#11 will depict the pivotal Amazo encounter that results in John, Diana, Billy, and Mary losing their powers.
Thanks to the previously releasedAbsolute Powerissues, fans already know that the encounter with the Amazo inWonder Woman#11 will result in the heroes losing their powers. However, what remains to be seen is how Wonder Woman and her teammates will respond after becoming powerless. Potential scenarios include a strategic retreat to regroup, capture by Waller, or continuing to confront the robot despite their limitations. Nevertheless, it’s evident that this fledglingJustice League Darkteam is already fracturing, asWonder Woman’ssacrifice allowed Billy and Mary to escape, leaving the fate of the other heroes uncertain for now.
