15 Injustice Moments That Shocked The World

11. Superman Gets A Sinestro Corps Ring

Of all the characters you'd expect to wield the Sinestro Corps ring, the last would have to be Superman. With the Man of Steel usually inspiring more hope than fear, you'd never commonly be able to see him use something that required people fear him - until, of course, Injustice happened.

Giving Superman a Sinestro Corps ring is as well-made a moment as it is shocking, as it shows even clearer to us how vehemently bad Superman has become, as people now actively fear him enough that he can become a conduit for the emotion itself.

Even worse, Superman is able to use these powers to overcome an otherwise fatal Kryptonite bullet to the heart, making it the most unexpected, yet effective, recovery in the entire of the series - and comes with the suggestion that Superman will now be even more difficult to beat than before.

The entire Sinestro Corps ring situation is a lasagna of layered bad implications about Superman - and it's thoroughly delicious for how well they're made.
