In Dark Crisis: Young Justice #1, Robin, Superboy, and Impulse are imprisoned in a well-known method that means Pariah is accountable.
With the Justice League presumed lifeless and the surviving heroes left in mourning, plainly nobody has their eyes on Pariah and what he could do subsequent. Nonetheless, Dark Crisis: Young Justice #1 (by Meghan Fitzmartin, Laura Braga, Luis Guerrero, and Pat Brosseau) could have uncovered the villain’s subsequent transfer. The disappearance of Young Justice hasn’t been seen by the opposite heroes but, however the place Robin, Superboy, and Impulse ended up extremely resembles the identical type of jail Barry Allen skilled by the hands of the cosmic antagonist.
The boys have been seemingly despatched again in time to durations of their lives after they had been happier as members of Young Justice. There are even in-built distractions, presumably meant to make sure that they do not look too carefully into the place they have been despatched. All of this mimics Pariah’s typical technique of entrapment, suggesting that he could also be behind all of it.
At first look, Pariah seems to be the plain suspect. Other than the truth that the boys are trapped in a world tailor-made to their wishes, the cosmic villain seems to be one among few folks able to doing such a factor. The problem confirmed that they weren’t removed from Superman, who would have seen in the event that they had been forcibly extracted. The one conclusion is that it occurred so quick and silently that not even a kryptonian might catch it, suggesting a large quantity of energy was in play.
The jail itself is insidious, feeding the workforce’s secret wishes. On this case, they’ve returned to a time when issues had been easier. Whereas Barry Allen was immediately seduced by his jail’s attract, the three youthful heroes instantly acknowledged that one thing was fallacious they usually had been all misplaced.
Though the trio shortly acknowledged that they had been up to now, a “risk” got here to their consideration, distracting them from investigating. The three of them know that they don’t seem to be alleged to be right here, however the phantasm is so actual that they cannot deliberately ignore a risk with out somebody presumably being harm.
All of this appears to help the concept Pariah is behind this. Crafting a jail they might by no means need to go away, or by no means might with out their guilt destroying them is well inside his skills. The one questions that continues to be is why he has chosen to do that to Young Justice as a substitute of one of many many different heroes who might impede his plans for the approaching Dark Crisis.
