Description

A year before Alan Moore's Watchmen triumph, Mark Gruenwald's Squadron Supreme max-series showed how to use a superhero team to tell a thoughtful geopolitical allegory. In 2004, J. Michael Straczynski had the opportunity to re-use the same JLA-inspired characters in Supreme Power for Marvel's MAX line, which like DC's Vertigo imprint permitted R-rated elements. After eighteen issues, the story continued in the PG-13 Squadron Supreme as a regular Marvel title, albeit still distinct from the 616 universe.

By this issue, a team has coalesced to enact American foreign policy. This issue seems them invading a Middle Eastern country "that makes the Taliban look like card-carrying members of the ACLU." (The Farsi language is mentioned, so the country is Iran, though that name is never used.) The hope is that a show of force will terrify the populace into more moral (i.e. more Western) behavior.

On this page, Zarda (the Wonder Woman figure) flies away after looking through a broken window at Inertia (the Black Canary figure) and Emil Burbank (resident ruthless genius), who are interviewing a traumatized young girl. After hearing her story, they will help her wreak terrible vengeance on her own family, leaving her alone in the world.
