    Anyone else read the latest issue of Justice League? Cheetah uses her enhanced claws to kill Poseidon.

    Who was running away and didn't put up a fight and had apparently been hiding out in a light house. ^^;
    I might be more impressed if Aquaman hadn't killed Posieden three years ago. Or if Aquaman didn't have all the powers of Posieden two years ago. Or if Granny Goodness hadn't single handedly defeated all of the Olympian gods without any effort off panel for Amazons Attack.

    Remember how in Rucka's run the gods were literally untouchable and unseen?

    Yeah...

    In what way are her claws enhanced? I'm a little behind on JLA.

    Her claws were tainted with the "Tear of Extinction".

    She coated her claws in a magic stuff thats supposed to have the power to kill even the gods which might be impressive if it wasn't something everyone else could already do ^^;

    Cheetah is only the latest in a long line of villains to claim the scalp of an olympian, pretty much every no-name supervillain has an olympian trophy-head mounted on their wall. Poseidon died a truly pathetic death as befits a Greek God, she pounced on him, slashed his jugular, it all happened in the space of 2 or 3 panels. And she accomplished this, not as culmination of her own efforts and machinations, but with God-Kryptonite in the form of nail polish provided to her by her Master

    I'm more disappointed that her characterization in Rucka's last run seems to be getting ignored.

    While I'm glad that Cheetah now has this accomplishment under her belt, this and the other stories mentioned above are why I'm just not interested in reading about the gods any more. Many mortals have either hurt or killed them over the years that they just don't seem very "godly" to me. Fighting a god has become a joke. There's this bit hype from a writer about a hero having to fight a god only to have the hero win just about every time with the god looking weak or like an imbecile by the end of the story. Let's give the gods a rest for a very long time until someone can portray them properly.

    Thank you for elaborating! I swear, when I first read it, I thought you'd typed "Taint of Extinction."

    It just blows my mind that there are people that are working at DC who think killing gods is a sign of power. XD
    Woop de do, maybe now you will stand a chance against Steve Trevor whose single handedly beaten up three gods~ Or Lois Lane who beat Granny Goodness the one who took down all the Olympian gods on her lonesome.

    This is just such a weak portrayal of Cheetah. One who was incapable of doing any of this without help doing something that half of Wonder Womans rogues has already done to death.

    So Zeus and Poseidon are now dead. No big loss honestly. I’m so bored of the Greek Gods, hell gods in general. I’m feeling more and more apathetic since Wilson’s run seems to be focusing on the Gods again.

    Well do we really know if he's dead? He was reaching for something that could very well save his life. And I wouldn't say Cheetah was feat less in this. At least they're acknowledgin her speed which many writers often ignore.
