MAJOR SPOILERS DISCUSSION: The Squadron Supreme\\n
\\n Freed from the constraints of keeping the comic\\u2019s Earth looking (at least superficially) like our Earth and of tying into the continuity of other books, Mark Gruenwald explored the ramifications of super-heroes taking over the world to save it from itself. A \\u201cpre-Watchmen Watchmen\\u201c; it substitutes for that book\\u2019s cynicism with a sense of humor and history.\\n
