Zatanna turned Dr. Light into a moron. Did anyone notice that she did not do that on purpose. That that was never her goal. She didn't mean for it to turn out like that.

IIRC they did put him in jail. That's how he got recruited into the Suicide squad.

I don't think Dr. Light really had it that bad. He was free to carry out his will and even live a normal life. Instead he chose to pursue villany and got his ass kicked by Teen titans.

It's much better than what Batman and Martian manhunter did to Prometheus.

JLA (1997) #38
Batman hacks Prometheus's suit and uploads a motor neuron disease turning him into stephen hawking.


Faces of Evil: Prometheus #1
Batman allows Martian manhunter to put Prometheus in a mental loop that repeats his memory of getting punched by Batman. Basically paralyzing him and leaving him drooling in his cell for years. Living life as a vegetable while having the same nightmare over and over.





Atleast what happened to Dr. Light wasn't done on purpose.
