JLA Mug - 1989

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) What I also find unusual about the mug is that there's no Superman--pretty shocking for a piece of merchandise featuring a group of DC heroes. To see Aquaman on there instead of the Man of Steel is a welcome surprise--I definitely would've bought this mug had I seen it for sale.

Superman and Darkseid engage in a titanic brawl. Superman vows to put Darkseid down once and for all. Jimmy then begins to glow with green Kryptonite. Superman crumbles to the ground. Jimmy is horrified and exclaims that Darkseid is controlling him. That Jimmy has absolutely no control over his powers. Darkseid tells Jimmy that he can now watch his best friend die. Personally, if Didio really felt the need for a female villain to compliment Superman-Prime then I would have much preferred that Supergirl play this role rather than Mary Marvel.
