Why Did Amanda Waller Skip Over the Justice League’s Sidekicks?

Absolute Power#1 plain off DC ’s fully grown summertime outcome in a grand manner . After year of festering hate towards superhumans , Amanda Waller take matters into her own hands . Unleashing an ground forces of Amazo humanoid , Waller methodically took about every single metahuman in the DC Universe out , run from operose hitters like Superman tomagic users like John Constantine . Waller also struck a deal with the United Planets to keep the Green Lantern Corps from step in in Earth ’s affairs . For all intent and purposes , Waller is now execute the show .

Tempest , the former Aqualad , pointed out that Amanda Waller was not interested in him – only Aquaman , and this might just have exposed a serious flaw in her otherwise airtight plan .

Tempest , the former Aqualad , pointed out that Amanda Waller was not interested in him – only Aquaman , and this might just have unwrap a serious fault in her otherwise airtight plan . Waller tried to account for every contingency when bring out her plans , but this was not foolproof , as seen inAbsolute Power Task Force VII#2 . Waller seemingly only went for the “ bounteous guns , ” like Aquaman . Why Waller did not also attack Tempest is unknown : if she could have negate Aquaman , then Tempest would have posed no menace either . However , she did not , and this may come back to ghost her .

Amanda Waller Overlooked Tempest At Her Own Risk

The Sidekicks May Be What Stops Waller

The fact that Amanda Waller mademembers of the Justice Leagueher primary targets , and not their sidekick , is quite unpaired apply her recent history with the Titans . With theJustice Leagueon hiatus , the Titans , a team of former sidekicks , ascend to become Earth ’s primary superhero team . During this metre , Waller tenaciously pursued them , particularly during the events ofBeast World . Yet now , the Titans , or at least some of them , are not on her radio detection and ranging . I can not believe that after all of her experience with Earth ’s heroes , Amanda Waller still underestimates their brother .
