DC’s Greatest Threat Yet Has Been Born to the Vampire Nocturna
Thethreats to the DC Universeover the year are usually fairly obvious , give their massive scale : when the Anti - Monitor first appeared , for object lesson , and threatened reality itself , he was a threat that everyone was very aware of . What makes this raw Dark Messiah so terrifying is that , away from Kate Kane , no one is aware that this child exist . It seems that theDark Messiah wo n’t be ready to destroy the world for at least another ten years , and it ’s hard to say what heroes will be around to stop him by then .
As Nocturna points out , the Dark Messiah looks precisely like a man . Unlike his female parent , the kid is entirely human . This means he ’ll be capable to hide in society with no issues at all . It ’s indecipherable exactly what power the Dark Messiah has , if any , but one thing is for sure : the DC Universe has a habit of being well-nigh demolish by secret onset . InDC vs. Vampires , the Earth was hire over — and the Justice League destroyed — by lamia who choose to bide their clip . In the landmar seriesInfinite Crisisby Geoff Johns , Phil Jimenez , and others , a conspiracy nearly destroyed the planet because the Justice League did n’t notice until it was too late .
DC vs. Vampiresis an Elseworlds serial by James Tynion IV , Matthew Rosenberg , and Otto Schmidt . The subsequence , DC vs. Vampires : World War Vby Rosenberg and Schmidt , found August 2024 from DC Comics .
Even the Justice League Should Beware the Dark Messiah’s World-Ending Threat
powerful now , there ’s a monster that could demolish the DCU , and only Batwoman knowsabout it . It ’s unlikely that the Dark Messiah will become a major terror anytime soon , considering he is currently a baby . But with the Justice League constantly busy with other major threat — like the upcomingAbsolute Powerevent by Mark Waid and Dan Mora — theDark Messiahis unlikely to show up on their radar anytime presently . His orphic nature think of he is the one villain that might finally destroy theJustice League .
