The following contains major spoilers for Justice Society of America #10, on sale now from DC Comics.
The Justice Society of America have finally inducted their most controversial new member, and he is already leading them to war with the Legion of Super-Heroes.
After surviving yet another harrowing situation thanks to the unlikely help of the sorcerer Mordru, the eponymous heroes of Justice Society of America #10 find themselves reaching the somewhat uncomfortable decision to induct the mage into their ranks on an official basis. Although Mordru himself is overjoyed by this development, there is an entire legion of others who are not. Specifically, the Legion of Super-Heroes, who have made the trek all the way from the 31st Century to ensure Mordru pays for the crimes he hasn’t even committed yet.

The DC Universe’s greatest heroes just lost their powers, and it is all thanks to the A.I. menace that Amanda Waller has claimed as her own.

The original, pre-Crisis iteration of Mordru was introduced in 1968’s Adventure Comics #369 by Jim Shooter and Curt Swan. As one of the higher beings who act as conduits for chaos magic known as the Lords of Chaos, Mordru is a force to be reckoned with under almost any circumstances. Mordru most frequently came into conflict with the young Legion of Super-Heroes, who consistently proved themselves more than capable of staving off whatever threat he posed.
The young, heroic Mordru who is now a member of the Justice Society of America made his debut in the pages of 2020’s Legion of Super-Heroes #1 by Brian Michael Bendis and Ryan Sook. This version of the Lord of Chaos, having already seen what the future holds for him, undertook numerous attempts to join any superhero team that would have him, all in the hopes of averting his apparent destiny. Eventually, Mordru ended up finding a home with the Justice Society of America, who opened up to him at the behest of the time-displaced Helena Wayne, aka the Huntress.
The Legion of Super-Heroes have been mainstays of the DC Universe, or at least its 31st Century, since their comic book debut back in 1958’s Action Comics #247 in the story “Superboy: The Legion of Super-Heroes” by Otto Binder and Al Plastino. Originally, the Legion of Super-Heroes was founded by three teenagers who joined forces to combat a common threat, only to discover that they made for what their era was desperately in need of. In the years since, the Legion of Super-Heroes has changed significantly, particularly in regard to its ever-expanding and rotating lineup composed of dozens of individual characters.
