10 Biggest Catastrophes In DC Comics

What's the one thing worse than superheroes dying tragic deaths? Superheroes becoming less than super, as is the case in Identity Crisis, where we learn that our favorite moral bastions have been secretly hypnotising specific supervillains in order to try and control them, totally stamping out their free will in order to make them less of a problem.

In terms of catastrophes, this one is very different from the majority of the other events, but it's still incredibly potent.

While the other threats merely killed or maimed heroes, this one damaged the idea of what it meant to be a hero - as while all the costumed wonders who did these experiments were doing them for what they felt were moral reasons, it's made very clear that their decisions were out of line and played with the freedoms of the villains involved.

It's no world-ending calamity, but it is a serious blow to the sanctity of the always-moral figures of the Justice League, and DC's superheroes at large.
