History Characters / JusticeLeagueIncarnate

* PaletteSwap: His suit is slightly different from regular Superman, with the shield's colors inverted - yellow "S" on a red background.

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: His debut at the end of ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'' is nearly identical to the standard Superman except for his ethnicity and the colors of his chest insignia being inverted. By issue nine of ''ComicBook/ActionComicsNew52'', he is made more distinguishable by omitting the spit curl and UnderwearOfPower (the latter being a change also done to the standard Superman at the time) in addition to giving his cape and boots a more distinct look.

* PresidentSuperhero: His alter ego is President of the United States. Some of his fellow heroes find this a bit suspect, arguing that it might not be completely ethical for him to continue doling out international vigilante justice in disguise when he's supposed to be respecting the borders of other nations as America's president.
* RaceLift: This Superman is still kryptonian, but appears black, and this was part of the point of his character -- since he's explicitly based on Barack Obama.

* {{Foil}}: He's a Batman driven entirely by loss and the memory of his loved ones and doesn't care if he dies, even having a death wish at times. These are things that Tom King tackled with Bruce, in that Bruce ''was'' initially Batman purely because of his dead parents and it was an alternative attempt at suicide for him... but life as Batman changed him for the better, giving him new people to live for and a new reason to keep living.

* TheLancer: She's the second-in-command, and will default to the role of leader of Calvin is busy.

The ComicBook/{{Joker}} of a universe where everyone is a merging of two characters.

* BreakoutCharacter: He was created for the ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' event and DC likely expected him to be at least a little popular, since he had a miniseries tie-in and was a prominent supporting character in the core miniseries. However, he was ''incredibly'' popular, so much so that when the event ended and he was rebooted from existence, the series ''ComicBook/Earth2'' created an Expy of him in the form of their second Batman, who was also a DarkerAndEdgier take on Thomas Wayne, and had a costume heavily inspired by Flashpoint Batman's. Then, during ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'', Flashpoint Batman was brought back to be a supporting character and delivered Jon Kent. After ''that'', Thomas ''and his entire universe'' were briefly brought back in "ComicBook/TheButton" where he was allowed to interact with his adult son. ''Then'', after the universe was destroyed and Thomas seemingly died... he was brought back ''again'', this time migrating over to the main DCU proper to serve as the primary villain of Tom King's Batman run. After that, it was revealed that he had survived Bane breaking his back and A-Day, and wound up joining the multiversal Justice League, Justice Incarnate, as a main character -- despite Justice Incarnate already having a Batman.

* DeusAngstMachina: The more we learn about his character, the more we learn how much his life sucks. His son died in a robbery attempt which broke his wife, and he himself did her no favors by losing his patience with her when she was grieving, causing her to turn into the Joker. His world is awful, with the Amazons and Atlanteans engaged in a war that has consumed all of Europe and much of the world. He managed to help Barry fix the world and was accepting of his death... only for his world to be brought back by a higher power. He got to talk to his son and once more accepted his death after getting some closure... only for Eobard Thawne to bring him to the main DCU to spite him. Finally, we learn he had a sidekick in the form of his universe's Catwoman, who he saw as a daughter figure... who was crippled by the Joker and made a quadriplegic. Oh, and then he gets his spine broken by Bane. Yeah, this goes a long way towards explaining why he doesn't seem to care if he dies.

* DependingOnTheWriter: How capable he is. Geoff Johns had him as a Batman who wasn't particularly experienced with superpowers but was more of a tactician. Brian Azzarello had him as a slower, more down-to-earth and gritty Batman who was pulpier and less agile. Tom King has him as an amazing Batman that is basically Bruce at his peak times 10. Joshua Williamson has him as just an average Batman.
