This time, the writer tackles the myth of Batman and Robin, following Nocturnus and his arrogant, egotistical former sidekick Galahad, who are forced to work together for a case… if they don’t kill one another first.Perhaps the reason Section 31 is so beyond redemption is that they have never really sought it in the first place. Mark Waid and Peter Krause teamed up again for Insufferable, digitally published by Waid’s Thrillbent label and in print by IDW. Again, you don’t need to read Incorruptible beyond those issues if you don’t want to. It’s time for the only and small crossover. Despite some events in Irredeemable that are mentioned and affect Incorruptible (and a crossover toward the end), both stories are pretty self-contained and can be read independently.Ĭollects Irredeemable #32–33 and Incorruptible #25–26. You can start to read Incorruptible at that point, but it’s not an obligation. Incorruptible is about Super villain Max Damage who had an epiphany and decided to change his name to Max Daring and turned from his formerly selfish ways in order to become a hero.

But while on the run from the world’s most powerful and angry being, will these former teammates discover his secrets in time? How did he come to this? What became of the hope and promise once inside him? What happens to the world when its savior betrays it? What makes a hero irredeemable?Īnd when the more powerful hero goes bad, what happens to the super villain? Mark Waid partnered with Jean Diaz for the companion piece Incorruptible, about a super villain trying to become a superhero. To be more specific, the comic asks: what if the world’s greatest hero decided to become the world’s greatest villain? Writer Mark Waid and artist Peter Krause answers this question with Plutonian, the world’s most powerful hero, who snaps and turns into the world’s greatest villain, with only his former teammates having a chance at stopping his rampage. This is also the question asked in a way by Irredeemable.

This is also the subject at the center of the alternate universe of Injustice, a trope explored by Mark Millar in his now-classic story Superman: Red Son, and many many more stories. One of the most famous examples out there right now is certainly Homelander from The Boys, designed as an evil version of Captain America and Superman.

What If Superman Was Evil? is a question that has inspired writers for a very long time.
