Wonder Woman#2 sees Diana save Gateway City from the destruction of Harbinger Prime, only to be immediately berated by a U.S. general. He accuses her of reckless endangerment, failing to coordinate with the military, and even suggests she may be in league with the Harbinger. Later, Steve Trevor apologizes for the general’s behavior and expresses concern that the military might bar Diana from aiding in future crises. Diana, unfazed, reassures him, saying, “They will come around, Steve. I’m sorry to say there are many things coming that will force them to.They need my help. And there will be others, too.”When Steve presses her for clarification about the“others,”Diana simply replies,“heroes.”
While this exchange might seem minor at first, it’s actually a groundbreaking moment—the first time a hero in one of DC’sAbsolutetitles has acknowledged the existence of the others.This remark from Diana feels like a teaser for the Justice League’s eventual formation as it marks the first hint of the storylines in theAbsolutetitles intersecting. Though vague, Diana’s acknowledgment of other heroes is thrilling, as it not only signals her awareness of them but also sets the stage for the highly anticipated first meetings between these iconic characters.
Diana’s confirmation that she knows of other heroes raises several intriguing questions—most notably,how does she know of their existence?Her words, especially“there will be others, too,”suggest these heroes have yet to emerge. This rules out any possibility of her knowing them through public channels, like news reports, and instead hints at something deeper. Considering this version of Wonder Woman possesses magical abilities and is the daughter of the powerful witch Circe, it’s possible that she or her mother has glimpsed the future, revealing the rise of these heroes. If so, it makes the eventual first encounters between them all the more captivating.
Which Heroes Will Be a Part of the Absolute Justice League?
Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and The Flash Likely to Be Founding Members of the Absolute Justice League
While Diana’s statement about other heroes coming to the Absolute Universe reveals little about the potential formation of the Justice League, it’s still possible to predict who the founding members might be based on the facts and teasers DC has provided. Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman are almost guaranteed to be among the first members, given that they all currently have ongoingAbsolutetitles. Additionally,Martian Manhunter, Flash, and Green Lantern are likely candidates for the team’s roster, as DC has already confirmed that these characters will also receive their ownAbsolutetitles, making it seem inevitable that all these heroes will eventually meet.
