DC Comics: Meet the Heroes More Invulnerable Than Superman

DC Comics has recently made waves with a shocking revelation: three unexpected Justice League heroes have proven to be even more impervious than Superman under a specific scenario. This twist is igniting conversations among fans, especially since previous canon suggested that two of these heroes should share Superman’s vulnerability regarding a certain magical artifact.

In the high-stakes narrative of Batman / Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns, creators Jeff Parker, Lukas Ketner, Michele Bandini, and Marcelo Maiolo present an intense moment in issue #3 as DC’s finest grapple with their latest formidable foe, the Silent Knight.

The malevolent Silent Knight, a sentient skeleton clad in sinister armor, wields a magical sword capable of absorbing and depleting the powers of some of DC’s greatest champions, including Superman, Batman, John Stewart’s Green Lantern, Queen Nubia, Mera, and Thunderheart. Trapped in a containment zone, Zatanna and Robin seek reinforcements, turning to three heroes who remain unaffected by the Silent Knight’s devastating abilities: Mary Marvel, Metamorpho, and Robotman.

Following a devastating event involving Wally West and the Silent Knight, Zatanna employs one of her most powerful spells, invoking a call for heroes capable of overcoming their seemingly unbeatable adversary. This spell materializes as golden doves, delivering a signal worldwide, specifically targeting “heroes who cannot be affected by the Knight’s sword.” To Zatanna’s surprise, three doves return, bringing forth Mary Marvel, Metamorpho, and Robotman, confirming their unexpected immunity to the Silent Knight’s power-draining weapon.

Prior installments hinted at Superman’s vulnerability to the Silent Knight, and this was further reinforced during a conversation between Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne. As the enemy advances towards the beleaguered heroes, Superman suggests paving the way for his teammates. However, Batman’s response is stern: “Any power you expend becomes the Knight’s. At some point, you could become a thrall like this one.” This exchange emphasizes a critical point: if Zatanna’s invocation successfully summoned capable heroes, then Mary Marvel, Metamorpho, and Robotman possess an essential advantage over Superman himself.

While Zatanna indicates Mary Marvel, Metamorpho, and Robotman are immune to the Silent Knight’s sword, the rationale behind this immunity remains ambiguous. Robotman’s resistance is easy to understand—his robotic nature means he lacks a life force for the Knight to siphon. Yet, the apparent invulnerability of Mary Marvel and Metamorpho raises significant questions. Historically, both heroes have shown susceptibility to magical forces and are inherently human, making their immunity puzzling. Fans are keenly anticipating Batman / Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #4, which is expected to illuminate why these three Justice League members are uniquely invulnerable in this extraordinary matchup.
