We Interrupt This JLI Content for Some JLI Content: SECRET ORIGINS #33 (JLI 29)

I planned for the next part in this series to be the Max Lord spotlight in Justice League International #24, but that’ll come early next week.
Warning for some discussion of age-inappropriate relationships and creators with tainted histories.
DC’s Secret Origins series did all JLI-themed origin stories for three issues, after doing the Justice Society and the original Justice League of America. Each issue had three stories: this one includes Mister Miracle and Oberon, Fire/Green Flame, and Ice/Icemaiden. No, Fire shouldn't be able to fly on that cover; just go with it. YES, ice-bridges are more Iceman's thing, JUST GO WITH IT.
Mister Miracle and Oberon’s story is “Escapism” by Mike Carlin and Don Heck. It’s a split-page compare-and-contrast exercise.
( You see, Mister Miracle is...TALL, and… )

The First Appearance of Marvel's The Hulk...
...but not that one. No, this is a backup story from Strange Tales #75, published in 1960, two years before the much more successful Hulk.

Power Man - Timeless #4

Power Man is a future version of Luke Cage who's also the Sentry and the Hulk. He's also Iron Fist, though you'd think that wouldn't matter much compared to the other two.
Last issue: punching. Apocalypse was there. This is the conclusion.

Nightwing #132 features Olivia Pearce's face.
This year's annual'd shown her mind a bit, gone into her serving the Zanni and his need to make the world a circus.
She's been the head of Spheric Solutions, the super-weapons company militarizing Blüdhaven's police - legitimacy that's not looking so much to police commissioner Maggie Sawyer.
Sawyer and Nightwing knew her tie to recent disappearances of children. Nightwing went after Pearce for that - and for what a scheme of her brain'd done to Bryce Moran in issue #131.
( She met him. )

Max, Out: INVASION #3 (JLI 28)

(Running this early because I might have some laptop issues imminent.)
The 80-page Invasion #3 has such a misleading cover that I wonder if it reflected an earlier, discarded version of the plot. AAR, the actual plot (by Keith Giffen) has enough impact on the Justice League that it deserves its own section here. Finished art (over Giffen layouts) by Bart Sears, who had a long future with this League ahead of him. Script by Bill Mantlo, whose work on the series was his only DC Comics job ever.
The war is over, but like Hiroo Onoda, the last Japanese holdout of World War II, one Dominator geneticist refuses to give up the fight.
( Not that one should encourage too many comparisons between the Japanese and the yellow-skinned Dominators, who attach great importance to a red circle, are known as planners, have a pluralistic society, attacked the Southeast Indies…uh, but they also have castes and forehead dots, like Indians…Fu Manchu fingernails…you know, I’m starting to regret that I brought this up… )

Power Man - Timeless #3

Power Man is a future version of Luke Cage who is also the Sentry, and also Iron Fist, and also the Hulk. He's also a time traveler. This is all canon for the main Marvel universe.
Last issue, Power Man fought Aeon the Knife and the planet Mercury turned out to be a giant brain in a shell.
