Many aliens in the time of the Legion are really metahumans after a millennium of breeding, which explains a lot. As such, a large number of people with ice powers build new homes on Tharr, future home of Polar Boy, and so on. After rescuing a large population of metahumans, they decide that the best path would be to go out and colonize Buffer Planets between Earth and Dominator Space. Some months after the Crisis, Valor discovers that Dominators are still abducting humans and conducting experiments. It is revealed that this is because they are all descended from humans. Despite the fact that they are supposed to be different species, almost all of them look and act exactly like humans but with the addition of a single superpower. The many races that make up the United Planets are often criticized as being too human-like to prevent a realistic view of alien diversity. Revised origins would indicate that these chemicals did not give him his abilities, but rather helped him unlock recessive powers that were already there.Īnother massive retcon is established for the Legion of Super-Heroes mythos. For example, the Flash supposedly gained powers when he was hit by chemicals and a bolt of lightning. Many characters have been found to possess the meta-gene since then, which often adds a layer of credibility to otherwise dubious origin stories, even for comic books. This has also led to a good deal of retconning origin stories. This explanation for why so many people are imbued with superpowers is now commonplace, used for many characters both good and evil. There is a genetic trait that allows for the development of superpowers should something activate it. The largest effect that Invasion! had on the DC Universe was the introduction of the concept of metahumans. It is a day of great triumph for our planet, as for once the many nations of the world were able to put aside their differences and unite against an external threat. Realizing that they are on the wrong side of the war, the Daxamites ally with earth command and turn on their collaborators, leading to a complete victory. Rioting at Starlag led by Vril Dox and the Omega Men overthrows the guards at the cost of many casualties.
The tides turn in favor of the heroes, as this rallying point gets them organized enough to start kicking ass and hitting where it hurts. Captain Atom is the commander of all metahuman forces, Amanda Waller is in charge of intelligence and coordinating supervillains, Wade Eiling is placed in charge of the military and Maxwell Lord acts as official liaison to Justice League International.
Finally, a summit is held coordinating Earth's superhuman forces. Facing global genocide, many of the warriors are forced into a more serious and deadly arena of combat than ever before. In the First Strike, war rages across the world as heroes and villains alike fight to protect their homeland. United Nations representatives from across the world meet to deliberate on the Crisis, and never have they all agreed so forcefully or spoken with such a singular voice. All superheroes must be surrendered to them peacefully, or the nations of the world will be completely obliterated in the struggle to take them forcefully. Assembling a fleet of hundreds of warships, the Alliance travels to Earth and makes their message clear in a great invasion. Dissenters are imprisoned in a great Starlag. An Alien Alliance is formed from many prominent civilizations on a number of worlds, all of whom agree that the metahuman threat must be wiped out. There is a strand in human DNA called the " meta-gene" that allows them to develop extraordinary powers under duress, and become superheroes, whose presence must be eradicated before it becomes unstoppable. Although most other alien species are rather consistent and predictable, the amount of genetic diversity present in the human race has made them too powerful to allow continued existence. After extensive research, a coalition of super-scientist Dominators and their warlike allies the Khunds determine that humanity poses a threat to the rest of the universe.
