I love the expansion of the original five Crime Syndicate to include evil versions of Aquaman, Green Arrow, etc. and the notion that there are 'good-ish' versions of some classic JLA foes attempting an underground resistance against them.
It is interesting that a few of the more classic villains for the Justice League members are non-powered, compared to their super-foes. Superman has Luthor, Flash has various Rogues like Captain Cold, Aquaman has Black Manta, etc. It almost feels like, on Crime Syndicate Earth, 'power corrupts.'

Doh! I think I was a little sleepy there. You are right, I meant "Sea King was in Forever Evil".
By the way, also liked the addition of Deathstorm to the Forever Evil Crime Syndicate line-up. It was a new twist to have a fire character opposed to the water character as member.

I would've liked to see a bit more from Sea King. Liked the design.
But Deathstorm was downright terrifying and definitely needs to be seen more with the CS
War for Earth 3 will definitely be interesting for the CS

Honestly, New 52 is what got me interested in the Crime Syndicate. I think it's the best version, or the most memorable one imo. I also liked the recent Crime Syndicate run. I'm glad the characters are getting explored more, because the Earth 3 world has been slept on and used for cannon fodder way too much. (I still prefer the New 52 run over the recent version, even if the comic is good).
