Super Powers #3 (3rd Series)


The Justice League is attacked by a group of all-new villains. It looks like these new foes are about to win when the heroes are saved by a never before seen hero, Janus!

This Greek god with long golden locks has stolen Wonder Woman's heart to the point that if any of her fellow Justice Leaguers questions Janus' true motives, she accuses them of being jealous of the Fabio looking protagonist.

I'm rather disappointed that Paul Kupperberg took Wonder Woman back to the days where she was more concerned playing housewife than super hero. This sort of fawning over Janus is more akin to what I would expect during the early days of the Justice Society of America when Wonder Woman was the team's secretary. Not in the 1980s when women were dominating the work force and DC Comics was being led by the mighty Jeanette Kahn. 

By the way, if you understand the significance of the name Janus, you might be able to figure out this cat's true identity. I won't spoil it until I review issue #3. But from my past two reviews of this miniseries and the details that I've provided thus far, the answer is there.

Good Luck!

Rating: 5 out of 10 stars.
