The Crime Syndicate. What we need to know

Okay guys, If you haven't read Justice League #23 'Trinity War' has just ending. The entire story was (if you guessed it) nothing more then a prolouge to the event comic 'Forever Evil'. By the end of the story the Crime Syndicate have arrived and ready to invade the Earth.

But before we get into 'Forever Evil' (which comes out next week) Lets look and see who where facing   in New 52's version of the Crime Syndicate. So far the original 5 are pretty much the oppistes of the counterparts.

Ultraman

Ultraman is ruthless and the leader of the team. Love how this costume is close to Superman's, but with a U instead of an S. Also people will tell this is not Superman very soon cause of Ultraman's personality.

Owlman

Ultraman may be the leader, but Owlman is the brains behind the team. This is Thomas Wayne Jr, with all the skills that Batman has. His costume leans more to the anti-universe version then the silver age version. But it works. I wonder if he has a bit of mind controle powers like one version of Owlman had back in the 60's.

Super Woman

All we know of Super Woman is she loves to torture people and is the wife of Ultraman. I like her new costume.  Its a modern version of the silver age costume and that her lasso is made of barb wire.

Power Ring

Power Ring is cursed to where the magic ring that gives him his power. He is the opposite of Hal Jordon by being a coward that stutters. Changes are from what we're seeing that ring might kill him one day. Also and this is just a guess after reading the green lantern books, the ring mught be Volthoom, The First Lantern from Geoff Johns's run on 'Green Lantern'. So we'll wait and see.

Johnny Quick

Not much to know about Johnny Quick other than he's a petty criminal with super speed. Don't know if he gets his powers from his helmet or a drug that gives him super speed.We'll wait and see what happens in 'Forever Evil'. Other then that I notice that in DC's New 52 all speedsters from alternate earths wear similar helmets. Don't know if thats a thing but its still pretty cool.

Now that we got the core 5 out of the way lets go the newest members of the team.

Deathstorm

For those who remember, Deathstorm was a black lantern copy of Firestorm from the 24 issue series Brightess Day. In the New 52 version he was a professor who gains the same powers as Firestorm by merging with his dead student. So far Deathstorm is kinda like Black hand by being into things that are dead. But we'll see more about him in 'Forever Evil'. His costume is pretty much a evil version of Firestorm so there's not much to say about that.

Sea King

Not much to say other then he died by coming through portal getting here, so he won't be apart of the story. Just thought I mention him cause he came first in the comic. I do like the fact tha Sea King has a evil version of his costume, but also looking like he did back in the 90's or the Justice League for those who don't read comics.

The Outsider

The Outsider as we found out has been around since the Justice League first formed 5 years ago. While trying to find away to bring the Crime Syndicate to Earth he formed the Secret Society to fight the league and be the Syndicate's army of supervillians. The shocking twist here is that Outsider is Owlman's butler Alfred. Its really cool seeing Alfred being such a clever super villian. The way he looks kinda reminds me of Joker, but I think it works on him.

Atomica

 Was sent by Outsider to be a spy for the Justice League, JLA and A.R.G.U.S. to weakin there defense to make the Crime Syndicate's invasion a easy victory. I was surprised by the fact it was Rhonda Pineda (the Atom ) as the spy. It was clear she was to spy on the league for A.R.G.U.S. and it was tearing her up inside. But finding out it was all an act was really a shocker. She's also in a relationship with Johnny and We'll how she does now everyone nows she's evil.

Now that we have are villians, whats going to happen to the DC Universe now that the Crime Syndicate are here with the secret society as there army who will stop them and save the world. Find out next week when DC comics releases Forever Evil #1.
