Lucy in the sky with diamonds express just how fleet he is during his face-off with Darkseid in issue # 4 ofJustice League : Last Ride , but it is n’t treated as that big of a deal . With the Justice League spread thinly against Darkseid ’s armies throughout the extragalactic nebula , Green Lantern Hal Jordanand Superman are tax with protecting the planet Oa , home of the Green Lantern Corps , from Darkseid ’s villainous clutch . Meanwhile , Batman and Martian Manhunter oeuvre to destroy Darkseid ’s weapons on Apokolips . Due to Martian Manhunter ’s failing to fervidness , Superman volunteers to take J’onn ’s place and go into Apokolips ’ liquefied core , casually dodging the Omega beam as if they were an second thought .
While this may at first seem like a throwaway moment in the heart of an action prospect , Clark dodging Darkseid ’s beam is quite the feat . Not only are the Omega Beams unbelievably tight , but they also lock onto their prey and move at whatever angle they want to reach their dupe . Avoiding them has never been an easy effort , and here , Superman makes it look easy .
The story ofJustice League : Last Rideisn’t in persistence , so it ’s potential that the Darkseid that fans are seeing here is n’t quite as potent as his prime persistence counterpart . But any adaptation of the Lord of Apokolips is a military unit to be reckoned with . Perhaps the Superman of this persistence is simply faster than the Kal - El that proofreader are typically used to .
Whether this was a weakerDarkseidor a more powerful window pane , dodging the Omega Beams is a move desirable of regard . It may not have been treated with much ostentation , but that does n’t take aside from just how impressive this event truly is . WhileSupermanis knownfor being faster than a speeding bullet , “ quicker than an Omega Beam ” also has a courteous ring to it .
