Moral Event Horizon/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

** They also tried to do everything with making Doom's former master, Marquiz of Death crossing it one time after another, by doing things like {{spoiler|killing whole universes, murdering Thing's aunt, offering Reed that if he let him kill Franklin, he will spare Earth, mindraping Johnny, tempting Reed with chance to save unknown number of alternate Earths by killing him when he was weak, and saying that making Sue choose which one of her children he would kill is a pretty good idea.}} However, there's actually no point in it with this character - fans [[The Scrappy|hate him]] anyway.

* In the ''Planet X'' storyline, Grant Morrison tried to do this with Magneto, whom he considered a "mad old terrorist twat." Not surprisingly, it didn't take, and was quickly [[Retcon|retconned]] away. Morrison at least had the decency, however, to explain Magneto's [[Out of Character]] behavior: {{spoiler|possession by [[Bigger Bad|John]] [[The Virus|Sublime]]}}.

** The real reason is actually far worse. He thought Supernova was Superman in disguise {{spoiler|(he was actually Booster Gold)}} and so created the situation just to test him, reasoning that Superman would use his powers to save the people. So in other words he killed thousands to test a HUNCH. And no, it didn't work -- while Supernova saved as many people as he could, it didn't help Lex or anyone else closer to figuring out Supernova's ID.

* In the DC miniseries ''[[Identity Crisis]]'' the previously bumbling and mediocre villain Dr. Light is revealed to have raped the Elongated Man's wife, Sue Dibny on the JLA Satellite years earlier. What he was doing there in the first place isn't revealed, nor was it the first time he'd done it. Unfortunately, that wasn't the worst thing that happened to Sue in the book.
