Help me locate the name of this comic book [solved]
« on: November 13, 2019, 12:36:37 pm »

So...

- It had rough analogues of DC comics main heroes (Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, etc)

- But they were EVIL, tyrannized people, and openly procclaimed themselves to be divine

- And they weren't quite what they seemed - they were actually body-hopping aliens who gave their hosts incredible powers, and had done this to a number of civilizations before doing it to humanity.

- Main evil character was a superman analogue and might have been called Atlas, or Antaeus, not sure


BTW: Before anyone brings it up: It's not "Injustice"

Are you sure it isn't just a DC comic? :P

I mean, seriously-- Superman is already pretty evil, just look at this shit.

I'm sure it's not a standard DC comic. And I'm sure it wasn't superman but he looked the part.

Asterix and Obelix.

:P

I enjoy a bit of sleuthing. I'm pretty sure it must be this thing, but if not, it's pretty close to what you describe. There's even someone called Atlas (but an Aquaman expy).

E.V.I.L. Heroes

With great power... comes great corruption. Superheroes are real. They walk the earth as gods among men. But the fairy tales of them protecting mankind and being heroes were all lies. Humans have become their slaves, fit only to serve their super powered masters. But in man the nature of the true hero still survives...and one group rises up to challenge their self-appointed masters. Can they hope to succeed or will their opposition only push mankind closer to extinction.
