Jakita Wagner’s Sensational Turn as DC’s Latest Villain
DC Comics has introduced a new god-level villain who seems poised to overshadow even Darkseid. The Lord of Apokolips, known as one of DC’s most powerful and feared villains, has faced many formidable foes, but none quite like this. A preview for The Outsiders #10 reveals a new threat to the DC Universe, capable of feats that would make even Darkseid envious.
Jakita Wagner, a character originally created by Warren Ellis and John Cassaday, is at the center of this latest development. In The Outsiders #10, written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing with art by Robert Carey, Wagner emerges as a force to be reckoned with. She has combined the Cannon, a weapon of immense power revealed in a previous issue, with Jinny Hex’s gun, creating a super weapon capable of unimaginable destruction.
Jakita Wagner’s Motivations
Wagner’s plan is to restore her lost reality by destroying the current one, a goal that sets her apart from Darkseid. While Darkseid seeks control and subjugation, Wagner’s motivation is far more personal. As the last survivor of the original Wildstorm Universe, she yearns to return to her home. This desire drives her to extreme measures, making her a more complex and sympathetic villain compared to Darkseid, whose ambitions are purely tyrannical.
In The Outsiders series, Wagner discovered the Cannon, a weapon powerful enough to destroy “fundamental concepts.” This weapon, now in Wagner’s hands, becomes the key to her plan. She believes that firing the Cannon into the Snowflake will restore the Wildstorm Universe, her true home. However, if she is wrong, Wagner risks destroying any chance of returning to her universe.
Outclassing Darkseid
Wagner’s actions in The Outsiders #10 highlight her as a villain who may outshine Darkseid. Darkseid’s conquests are often methodical and take time, as he is an immortal with no sense of urgency. Wagner, on the other hand, operates with a sense of desperation and recklessness, driven by her limited time and the need to restore her universe. This makes her a more immediate threat, one who is willing to take drastic measures that even Darkseid has not attempted.
In her quest to restore the Wildstorm Universe, Wagner is willing to risk everything, including the potential destruction of all reality. This boldness, coupled with her powerful new weapon, positions her as a villain who could potentially reshape the DC Universe in ways that even Darkseid could not.
The Outsiders #10 hits shelves on August 14, offering readers a deeper look into Jakita Wagner’s motivations and the full extent of her new power.
