Description

And to close out this subject, this is a page I bought at last years Dragon Con that supposedly explains why Captain Atom went "kookoo for cocopuffs" in Countdown to Final Crisis and turned bad. "Alright Danny...I mean Nathaniel Adams, what are you for...goodness...or badness...". Apparently, it had something to do with one of the Monitor's and Darkseid's comic chess games (go by the Cracker Barrel and take up checkers boys, its less violent). According to wiikipedia " DC Comics editorial staff acknowledged that the original ending was poorly executed and in the Battle for Bl�dhaven (a spinoff miniseries from the larger Infinite Crisis event), retconned Monarch's origin and depicted Captain Atom's transformation into the villain.

A storyline in JSA would later reveal that the ending of Armageddon 2001 had been faked by Mordru. He had created an illusion of Dove being murdered by a future Hawk/Monarch in order to drive the current Hawk insane. He then took control of Hawk and used him to impregnate Dove so she would give birth to a child that would inherit all the powers of the Lords of Chaos and Order. Mordru cast a spell on Dove that kept her in a comatose state for years. She did give birth to a child but before Mordru could possess the child's body it was instead inhabited by a reincarnated Hector Hall who aged the body to adulthood and became the new Doctor Fate. Much later while searching for his wife Lyta, Hector would discover Dove and bring her out of Mordru's spell revealing the truth of these events. She would then discover that her sister had inherited the Hawk powers after the death of Hank Hall."

Huh...I guess I learned somthing today, 'cuz I did not know that. And it seems so straight forward...

Well, this is a very nice page, with a great Darkseid... and , wow, DC really jumped through hoops to try and fix the messy, disappointing ending to Armageddon 2001, didn't they? Still not as confusing as that whole Magneto/Xorn mess, though!
