Warning ! coddler ahead forDark Knights of Steel # 6
A classicJustice Leaguehero may be playing a secret role as a major villain in DC’sDark Knightsof Steel . Taking place in an alternative chivalric universe , kingdom are preparing to go to war following the deaths of several royal on both side . But could an iconic hero be pulling strings unseen ?
So far in this narration of assassinations , mysterious interruption in the narrative have issue , with the serial publication ' murderers accept no memory of actually shoot down the rulers of the region . As such , it appear as though a sinister ( and superpowered ) someone is at work behind the view , attempting to frame the Kingdom of El to incite an imminent state of war and bloodbath . And one anatomy seems like the perfect candidate for a scandalous reveal .

At the beginning ofDark Knights of Steelfrom writer Tom Taylor and Yasmine Putri , the execution of King Jor - El caused a cascade of subsequent murders . Princess Zala - El was see in the rival Kingdom of Storms , wanting revenge againstKing Jefferson ( Black Lightning)who had ordered Jor - El ’s death , fear a prophecy from the prophesier John Constantine that the Kryptonians would put down the world . As such , she killed Jefferson ’s young son Prince Jacob before killing King Jefferson himself . Additionally , when the Kingdom of El ’s greatest horse Batman unveil the newly let out truth that he was Jor - El ’s secret second Logos , Kal - El attempted to kill his half - brother .
Interestingly enough , the newDark Knights of Steel # 6sees Zala having no memory of the slaying , swearing that she did n’t kill Jefferson or Jacob . Furthermore , Kal - El ’s seek to defeat Batman was very sudden and sharp believe the two had been friend since puerility . efficaciously , they already saw each other as brothers without ever knowing about their blood relation . blend with the prophecy that the Kryptonians will stop the world , it seems as though a far sinister plot is in the works with someone looking to self - fulfill the prophecy by framing the Els . As such , someone like theshape - shift Martian Manhuntercould be disclose as the series ' true villain despite his traditional part as a penis of the Justice League .
As a theory , Martian Manhunter ’s secret involvement would sure enough explicate some of the serial ' bigger question stain such as why Zala has no retentivity of visit the Kingdom of Storms and down two of its royals . Having comparable power such as laser vision , super - strength , and flight of stairs with the unique ability to shapeshift , J’onn J’onzz would have no problem posing as a Kryptonian , framing them with the intent to incite an all - out state of war between the two kingdoms ( as well as the Amazons who ’ve pledged their swords to the Kingdom of Storms ) .
Eventhe Green Manhired by King Jeffersonto kill Jor - El could be a red herring with Martian Manhunter being the true Green Man working behind the vista , potentially attend to claim the world for Mars after ensuring the Els ' destruction ( which could be the prophecy ’s actual version ) .
While this is just guess based upon what ’s been see so far in Taylor and Putri’sDark Knights of Steel , Martian Manhunter ’s involvement seems like a inviolable possibility . It would sure as shooting be an exciting twist for theJustice Leaguehero if he were revealed to be a scoundrel . At any rate , there ’s certainly a creature schoolmaster rig both sides look for nothing less than total war in future issues . Readers will just have to continue read the new DC serial to see if this hypothesis at long last proves to be correct .
