Injustice League Committee Queen’s National Model United Nations Conference Kingston, Ontario February 28th-March 2nd 2019 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Letter from the Director Hello delegates, My name is Brendan Nugara and I am the director for the Injustice League committee. This committee is inspired by the characters of DC comics, mainly the Assembly of Supervillains, commonly known as the Injustice League, but also as the Legion of Doom. I chose this committee due to my love for DC comics growing up and today, I’m definitely team DC over team Marvel. While this may be an unpopular opinion, I hope it doesn't sway your opinion of this committee. My goal for this committee is for you to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. If this is your first MUN experience, I hope this committee can inspire you to continue participating in MUN. If this isn’t your first rodeo, I hope for this to be a memorable experience that exceeds your expectations set by past conferences. All the best, Brendan Nugara 1 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Table of Contents Background Guide • Preface – 3 • The Justice League – 5 • The Injustice League – 5 • A message from Lex Luthor – 6 • Characters – 6 • Resources – 14 2 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Preface A breakdown of the Guide This guide consists of five parts. The first is this Preface, meant to give you an idea of the committee and what is expected from you as a delegate in this committee. Next, there is a brief summary of both the Justice League and the Injustice League, meant to give context to each group in regards to this committee. This is followed by a Letter from Lex Luthor, a fictional character who will be embodied by the chair of the committee. This letter is written to address your character. We then have the character descriptions, which will be explained in more depth later in this section. Finally, the last section is comprised of links to help you start your research. The Committee The DC comics’ universe, or better put, universes as there are numerous alternate ones, can be quite complex and hard to grasp. For that reason, I would like to clarify that the universe in which this committee exists in is practically the same as ours, but with superpowers, magic and other miscellaneous supernatural beings. My expectation for committee members is not for you to master knowledge of all that is DC comics, but to understand the character you have been given. I have provided a starting point for understanding each character in the final section of this guide; these are intended to help you understand your character in basic terms before you begin any research. The character outlines I have given at the end of this guide are composites made up of multiple versions of the character. Because of this, I do not expect you to understand and research your character from only one version; you are free to mix characteristics from other versions, as long as reasonable within the context of the committee. By reasonable, I mean not taking something like an alternate reality of a character, which drastically changed their abilities. With that said, if you can find a way to alter your ability through a crisis, I will not overlook it. As with the characters, the reality this committee exists in is meant to be a mixture of the different DC worlds, from TV shows, to movies, to the comics. As long as something is reasonable and possible for your character, and in regard to the committee's state at the time, then I won’t dispute it. 3 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Additionally, I’d like to make a note on the committee chair, who will act as a character in the Injustice League as well as Lex Luthor. This will be expanded upon in later sections. On a final note regarding research, there are links at the end of the guide you can look at to give you more info on characters. Aside from that, I encourage you to do some research on the characters and their overall place in the context of DC as a whole. This can include researching their nemesis, reading/watching media with storylines they were a part of, or looking at character summaries of your assigned character. With that said, if you have any questions or concerns feel free to email me at: [email protected] 4 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Justice League Comprised of Earth’s mightiest heroes, the Justice League acts as protectors of Earth and peace around the galaxy. With two main bases, one in the city of Metropolis and the other orbiting space, and many smaller bases both in space and around the world, the Justice League keep a close eye on everything, especially supervillain activity. There was a time before the Justice League, where supervillains could be successful in spite of superheroes. While the same amount of superheroes existed, their lack of cooperation and organization among themselves made being a supervillain much easier. Instead, now you have a large organization of superheroes who know of and are watching for you, whereas before, a supervillain may have had a few if not only one superhero who knew of them and watched for them. Additionally, even if multiple superheroes were to go after the same people, it could often result in fighting amongst the heroes, due to misunderstandings or distrust. However, with the Justice League, that all changed. Info on all super villains has been gathered together, and more heroes are keeping an eye out for them in a more efficient manner. It's never been easier to stop crime, and it's never been harder to be a supervillain. Injustice League Formed and funded by billionaire Lex Luthor, the Injustice League was a pitch to supervillains as a way to adapt and thrive in a post-Justice League world. With the money, power, and influence of Lex Luthor, he enlisted the help of 12 well-known supervillains to help him run and expand the League. These 12 Supervillains are the members of this committee, and currently, the only members of the Injustice League as it is in its infancy. With the organization of the Justice League, the idea is to fight fire with fire. In making a league of their own, supervillains have the possibility to reap the benefits of organization and cooperation which would enable them to go toe to toe against the Justice League. However, there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done before the Injustice League is a match for the Justice League. 5 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE A Message from Lex Luthor As a clarification, the predetermined meeting of this council will go forth as planned. You, along with eleven more of Earth's deadliest villains will assemble with me to discuss the future of the Injustice League. As a core member of the organization, you have the power to vote on all major decisions concerning the Injustice League, however, as the founder, I retain the right to veto any motions as seen fit. With that said, as long as we all hold up our ends of the bargain, I don’t see that happening. To reinstate our agreement, in exchange for the resources and funding I have given you in the form of the Injustice League, I need you to help me. In order to gain my trust and the benefits that come with it, I need you to complete a series of tasks for me which will be disclosed at our meeting. These tasks are confidential and do not pertain to you in any way more than your doing your part in them. Once you have proven yourself to me, I will deliver upon my part of the agreement, and you will have everything you need to succeed in your criminal activities, in spite of the Justice League. In discussing the future of this organization at our meeting, there are three issues which I would like to focus on. 1. Keeping our existence a secret from the Justice League 2. How you will cooperate with other members in order to complete the tasks I give you 3. Avoiding a power struggle which inevitably would lead to chaos Looking at the first issue, this is crucial to the survival of the Injustice League. Our strength against the Justice League will be leaving them unprepared for our organized abilities. By keeping ourselves a secret, we have the ability to maintain the element of surprise, and this will prove beneficial. The second issue pertains to the functioning of this organization. With the twelve of you being supervillains, being trustworthy would definitely not be the first word to describe you. To have a group made up of supervillains we must maintain the notion of being codependent on one another. To be a match of the Justice League we need to be and act like a team, or else the formation of the Injustice League would be in vain. 6 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Finally, the hunger for power can be strong, but also destructive. To maintain this organization, and not have it fall into chaos, we must respect each other's positions, mainly myself as the founder and leader of the Injustice League. This is no place for petty power struggles, as, through our cooperation, we will all be made the wealthiest and most powerful in the galaxy.

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

This new series took everything good about the old one, and distilled it. But no, "Hold still while i turn the air into rubber bands to hold you. August 27, Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. First and foremost, the first story here is widely acknowledged as the story that kicked off the "Silver Age" of comics. What the actual fuck? Panels are often horizontal and spread across the page, giving things a streamlined look. I was so curious where it is that I looked it up and opinion is divided as to whether it is in Ohio or Florida. This metabolic limitation would later be continued into Barry Allen's character for the brief television series The Flash broadcast in —91, as well as The Flash series which debuted in , though to a lesser degree. One thing we didn't mention was the name of his artistic collaborator. Modern comics would also probably play for comedy the idea of Barry Allen imitating and trying to live up to a fictional character in the real world, sort of like Walter Mitty but with power to back it up. March 21, Besides the introduction of Barry Allen, in this volume you'll find the first appearances of what would become many of Flash's most iconic villains: Captain Cold, Mirror Master, the Pied Piper, and Gorilla Grodd.

    Lioi, Anthony. "Icons of Survival: Metahumanism as Planetary Defense." Nerd Ecology: Defending the Earth with Unpopular Culture. London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2016. 169–196. Environmental Cultures. Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 25 Sep. 2021. <http:// dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781474219730.ch-007>.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 6 Icons of Survival: Metahumanism as Planetary Defense In which I argue that superhero comics, the most maligned of nerd genres, theorize the transformation of ethics and politics necessary to the project of planetary defense. The figure of the “metahuman,” the human with superpowers and purpose, embodies the transfigured nerd whose defects—intellect, swarm-behavior, abnormality, flux, and love of machines—become virtues of survival in the twenty-first century. The conflict among capitalism, fascism, and communism, which drove the Cold War and its immediate aftermath, also drove the Golden and Silver Ages of Comics. In the era of planetary emergency, these forces reconfigure themselves as different versions of world-destruction. The metahuman also signifies going “beyond” these economic and political systems into orders that preserve democracy without destroying the biosphere. Therefore, the styles of metahuman figuration represent an appeal to tradition and a technique of transformation. I call these strategies the iconic style and metamorphic style. The iconic style, more typical of DC Comics, makes the hero an icon of virtue, and metahuman powers manifest as visible signs: the “S” of Superman, the tiara and golden lasso of Wonder Woman.

  • Why No Wonder Woman?
    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

BAKER Submitted to: Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez Committee: Tabetha Adkins Donna Dunbar-Odom Mike Odom Head of Department: M. Hunter Hayes Dean of the College: Salvatore Attardo Interim Dean of Graduate Studies: Mary Beth Sampson iii Copyright © 2017 Michael G. Baker iv ABSTRACT COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS Michael G. Baker, PhD Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2017 Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez, PhD Superhero comic books provide a unique perspective on marginalized characters not only as objects of literary study, but also as opportunities for rhetorical analysis. There are representations of race, gender, sexuality, and identity in the costuming of superheroes that impact how the audience perceives the characters. Because of the association between iconography and identity, the superhero costume becomes linked with the superhero persona (for example the Superman “S” logo is a stand-in for the character). However, when iconography is affected by issues of tokenism, the rhetorical message associated with the symbol becomes more difficult to decode. Since comic books are sales-oriented and have a plethora of tie-in merchandise, the iconography in these symbols has commodified implications for those who choose to interact with them. When consumers costume themselves with the visual rhetoric associated with comic superheroes, the wearers engage in a rhetorical discussion where they perpetuate whatever message the audience places on that image.

  • National Detention Standards
    [Type here] [Type here] [Type here] Foreword INTRODUCTION U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a federal agency charged with enforcing the nation’s immigration laws in a fair and effective manner. ICE identifies, apprehends, detains, and removes individuals who are amenable to removal from the United States. ICE uses its immigration detention authority to effectuate this mission by securing individuals in custody while they await the outcome of their immigration proceedings and/or removal from the United States. ICE has important obligations under the U.S. Constitution and other federal and state law when it decides to keep an individual in custody. ICE detention standards ensure that detainees are treated humanely; protected from harm; provided appropriate medical and mental health care; and receive the rights and protections to which they are entitled. This revision of ICE’s National Detention Standards (NDS) reflects the agency’s ongoing commitment to working with its state and local partners to enforce immigration laws and improve public safety and national security. These standards have been updated to better reflect the strong relationship ICE has with its law enforcement partners, including where detention facilities successfully manage their own populations and are willing to assist ICE with housing immigration detainees. BACKGROUND The original NDS were issued in 2000 by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), ICE’s predecessor agency. The NDS established consistent conditions of confinement, program operations, and management expectations within the agency’s detention system. Over the past 17 years, much has changed in immigration enforcement, including the growth of a network of dedicated immigration detention facilities, which are now largely covered by a separate set of standards – the Performance Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS).
