I want to have a date with Superman

Some readers once said that the DC magic system is very confusing.

This is both true and false.

DC magic moves and powers are indeed very confusing and arbitrary (the comic author wrote them randomly), and there is no fixed level.

However, the DC magic system is also very simple: all magic is borrowed, from the supreme existence, from the demons of other dimensions, and from the old gods.

So, let’s first discuss the DC magic genre based on the source of magic power.

First. God genre.

Magic comes from hell and demons, black magician

Power comes from heaven, monks and exorcists

Second. Old God Sect

DC focuses on the Greek god system, while Marvel focuses on the Nordic god system.

For example, Diana.

The old gods are divided into "old and new gods" and "old and new gods"

The Old Gods are true gods, born gods.

Gods old and new, such as Thunder Sand Sculpture, Doctor Fate, Parliament of Life (Swamp Thing).

Third, the endless family

Sandman, death, desire and other incarnations of the supreme rules of the universe.

Madame Xanadu is currently borrowing the power of death.

************************

In fact, it doesn't make much sense to divide schools according to the source of magic power.

The following is divided by camp:

First. The Supreme Existence School

For example, heaven and hell

2. Ancient life on Earth

For example, many pantheons were born on the earth and are considered earth species, but they are just older and more gifted than modern humans.

Third, the order faction

The Orderists are representatives of modern humanity.

Naboo, Doctor of Destiny, is the Lord of Order and Big Brother.

Naboo is a helmet, and there are also gloves, cloaks, armors, etc. After human mages were promoted to gods, they attached their magic power and souls to exclusive weapons. They formed the God of Order to defend human interests (and also had great selfishness).

Thunder Shazam, the Parliament of Life (Swamp Thing, Animal Man), and the magicians from the supernatural world, in theory, all belong to the Order faction and stand on the side of mankind.

Fourth, aliens

For example, Green Lantern Corps

Well, Green Lantern is not a technology stream or a superpower stream, he uses magic.

************************

Once we understand the magic factions, we can understand why the various mages take sides in many major events.

For example, in the events of Megazord and Original Sin, why did Constantine side with Swamp Thing?

It's obvious that the Tree Council always hates humans.

In comics, why do protagonists often cheat on Heaven?

Because heaven does not belong to the human camp at all.

For example, in "The Fall of the Corruption", the Green Lantern Corps could clearly seal the power of the Blackness of Decay, but they only put the earth into a box and did not care about the life and death of the humans inside.

Of course the aliens are not in the human camp.

For another example, in the Three-Body War and the subsequent Magic Goddess incident, heaven closed its door and refused to lend a helping hand to "Earthlings" such as Doctor Fate, Constantine, Zatanna, and Wonder Woman who came for help. ?

Why, every time the earth encounters danger, the Greek pantheon doesn’t respond?

Because they and humans have never been in the same camp.
