The most recent issue ofWonder Womanseems to supply a worrying answer to this question .
The Quintessence is a group made up of the Greek Goddess Hera , the protector Ganthet , Highfather , the Wizard Shazam , the Phantom Stranger , and the Spectre . Each of these entity is incredibly powerful on their own , but as a group , they are near - omnipotent and were a major factor in the Justice League ’s victory over the omniversal threat of Perpetua . Despite their power , they were all killed by a new reborn Darkseidaided by the Great Darkness inInfinite Frontier . After that , their luck largely fell into mystery story , appearing in short under the control of Pariah and contributing to the apparent Death of the Justice League that kick - startle the Dark Crisis . However , it is ill-defined what this Dark possession entails and if it will affect them even after the Crisis end . This is particularly refine by confusion wall when precisely the events of Dark Crisis fall out with regard to the case of other currently running series .

While Hera has occasionally acted as an opponent for Wonder Woman , her pernicious dairy plan and her ominous introduction implies that she has become an unabashed villain , which in turn suggests that the other members of the Quintessence will also move around malevolent afterthe end of Dark Crisis .

For instance , Darkseid being responsible for for his antithesis Highfather becoming immorality would have incredibly interesting ramifications .
