9. The Beheading Of Mera

Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert's Flashpoint is one of the great modern tales of DC Comics, taking these established heroes and villains and flipping them on their head.

After Barry Allen travelled back in time to prevent the death of his mother, that shaped an entirely different timeline. While Bruce Wayne died that night in Crime Alley, Thomas Wayne became a hard-drinking Batman, Martha Wayne became the Joker, Green Arrow is an arms dealer, Superman is a lab experiment, and Cyborg is the world's greatest protector, in the backdrop of all of this is an all-out war between Aquaman and Wonder Woman.

With the Atlanteans and Amazons battling for dominance, one of the many, many victims of this war is Mera.

Upon realising that her beau Aquaman had embarked on an affair with Diana, Mera heads off to confront Wonder Woman. Part defending her own relationship, part standing up for her underwater realm, poor Mera is dispatched of with ludicrous ease by Diana - quickly beheaded.

What makes this particularly twisted, is that Wonder Woman isn't just content at decapitating her rival. No, she then takes to wearing Mera's royal headgear as part of her own armour. Oh, and she also sends the headless corpse of Mera back to the King of Atlantis.
