Writer: John ArcudiPlot: When rookie superhero Mark Antaeus hooks up with the Justice League, the seven Leaguers learn that Mark's individuality explosively upsets the brand of justice that they normally provide.
If you've got goodwill coming out of your basketball-sized fists and some nifty body armour to boot, how do you know where to draw the line between justice and unnecessary violence? This is what Superpower explores, as an overzealous hero takes on the world.
Mark's anger at GL was never really explained, but it must've had something to do with the fact that Kyle's got a pretty snazzy power ring - that Green Lantern didn't work his way up into the hero business himself, like Batman did, through constant studying and training.
It almost seemed like Kyle was looking for trouble. Right after Superman calmed Mark down, Kyle had to throw in a crack about Mark having to look for an insanity plea, if he should ever find himself facing a day at court.
In typical Superman style, Big Red embodies the reason behind the JLA's existence, when he explains that every punch he throws in the name of peace feels like failure. That's how much it pains Superman to hurt people. And when someone cares that much about the welfare of humanity, you know they can't be anything but a superhero.
