Then there's the current Multiverse's Earth-2, which boasts modern-day versions of the original Flash, GL, Sandman, Atom, Mister Terrific and Wildcat. What's more, the Spectre and Doctor Fate have both appeared in the post- Flashpoint era, and they're each potentially more powerful than the original Green Lantern. In fact, the Metal miniseries just got done explaining how Hawkman has been active in one form or another for generations, albeit without the Justice Society. However, the latter two have modern counterparts (Ray Palmer, Ryan Choi and Courtney "Stargirl" Whitmore) as do Mister Terrific and Black Canary. Sandman, Doctor Mid-Nite and Wildcat are lost to history, as are the original Atom and Starman. According to D-Clock, Green Lantern is dead, and probably Hourman too but "The Button" has the original Flash trapped in another dimension (probably the Speed Force). The point is that Doctor Manhattan didn't get rid of everybody. Wonder Woman was also a JSA member, both on the original Earth-Two and on DC-Earth in the form of Hippolyta but that's a discussion for a whole other day. Joining later were Johnny Thunder and Thunderbolt, Doctor Mid-Nite (Charles McNider), Starman (Ted Knight), Mister Terrific (Terry Sloane), Wildcat (Ted Grant) and Black Canary (Dinah Drake). The JSA's founding members (i.e., as of All Star issue #3) were the Flash (Jay), Green Lantern (Alan), Hawkman (Carter Hall), Sandman (Wesley Dodds), the Spectre (Jim Corrigan), Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson), Hourman (Rex Tyler), and the Atom (Al Pratt). Complicating matters further is the presence of some key JSA members in the post- Flashpoint timeline. (We'll discuss Alan and the JSA more in Part 2.) Mentioning the Justice Society along with GL/Alan suggests that Doctor Manhattan personally pruned the Golden Agers out of DC-Earth's history. However, in the "Button" crossover, original Flash Jay Garrick blames a mysterious group, not just an individual: "They took everything from me," Jay tells Barry Allen in Early July 2017's Flash #22. M also alludes to Alan's being part of the Justice Society of America, a group which formed shortly before Winter 1940's All Star Comics issue #3. M might simply have treated Alan Scott's fate like just another quantum-level event – a coin flip with each result representing an equally valid future.ĭr. In light of those actions and omissions, Dr. Perhaps most notably, we saw Rorschach beg Dr. M has killed people outright, from gangsters to Vietcong and we know he hasn't intervened as others were murdered (for example, the Vietnamese mother of Eddie Blake's unborn child). We know from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen that Dr. It's chilling in its emotional remove, because basically Doctor Manhattan let him die.
