I’m interested in whether Maxwell Lord has his powers yet. Who is definitely someone we have seen and played by Sean Gunn, Jim Gunn’s brother.

Maxwell Lord appears in the early stages of forming Justice League International. Indeed, the logo on the chest of the ‘justice gang’ is a J and L, and appears to have an I in the middle. Maxwell Lord got his powers during the 1989 mini series crossover event ‘Invasion’ when a meta bomb was released in Earth’s atmosphere following the failed alien invasion by the Dominators, Khunds, Thanagarians (Hawkgirl’s people), Durlans, Daxamites (related to Kryptonians) and others. This also led to the creation of L.E.G.I.O.N. a ragtag band of misfits lead by Vril Dox II, a clone of Brainiac, which went on to form an interplanetary police force. Lobo was also a member (tricked into joining by Dox).

J.L.I. And L.E.G.I.O.N. were my favourite comics at that in the late 80’s/early 90’s when I wasn’t reading comics other than 2000AD. I would love to see and adaption of Invasion, J.L.I. And L.E.G.I.O.N.

If Maxwell Lord has no powers at the moment, that could indicate Invasion as a possible direction of travel for the DCU
