With the majority of the Justice League members believed to be dead after their encounter with Pariah's Dark Army, several heroes are stepping up to claim leadership. However, one of the most unlikely candidates is Black Adam in Dark Crisis #2. Superman's son, Jon Kent, is serving as Earth's Man of Steel and is attempting to form his own version of the Justice League after his father's death. However, Black Adam was more than skeptical that the young Superman has what it takes to lead. After the events of Dark Crisis #2, it would appear Black Adam was right, as the antihero finally accepts the job of leading DC's new generation of heroes.
