lol. I can seriously see Aquaman getting shanked for getting out of line. Saying something stupid to the wrong person. I don't think the normal JL guys would actually stick together in a prison situation. I think they would abandon Superman when he shows that he's not willing to do anything the gang wants. I can see Superman going protective custody after his boys turn on him and the whole prison is against him.

So are we assuming these are actually the characters involved? Or just guys with these power sets? Because considering the shit most, if not all of them, have been through, merely being imprisoned isn't going to turn them into sociopaths or attacking people that they once considered friends/allies.
Good question.
I'm kind of gearing towards the heroes turned into convicts. We're talking about these guys spending the rest of their lives in prison and seeing who changes which way.

In that case, I could see Bob snapping. The guys with extended longevity or immortality probably won't change much, if at all. Ghost Rider, though, could be an issue, especially surrounded by so many guilty parties (iirc, he went ape shit merely visiting a prison once).

That's the thing. The actions of others would cause guys like Superman to pick a side. It would create enemies and he would have to defend himself. I'm trying to assume that these guys would change after 100 years in lock up. Just roll with it.
Guys like Black Adam and shizo Bob would stir the pot. GR would add an element of tension. I'm sure Firelord's arrogance would cause friction. Then years of fights ensue. Lockdowns. Retaliation. Rape lol. Supes would change and be forced to make decisions if you realize that this prison shit is going to be the rest of your life..............

Well, Superman's of such high moral caliber he wouldn't change intrinsically from who he always has been. If anything, he'd probably be a model prisoner and try to serve as the guy keeping order among the inmates who do get rowdy (assuming other prisoners will be there and assuming some have power levels at least comparable to those mentioned in the OP). Guys like Thor and Surfer would probably do the same to a degree, with Thor being more combative and aggressive, but still a good guy at heart while Surfer would be on the more passive and diplomatic side.
The others have personalities more prone to shifting after so long, imo.
EDIT: DCnU Superman would definitely get into fights, but at his core, is still a good human (relatively speaking) being.

Would it be better if I had added some invincible anti-heroes or villains?
Do you think Aquaman would change after say.........500 years?
What would they do with a raging Hulk for 500 years? How would they solve that problem?
How about GR f'ing with pretty much everybody but Supes for 1000 years?
Black Adam's smugness for 700 years? Could you deal with that?
Firelord's arrogance...how much would it escalate when you're around him for a couple centuries in close proximity?
You must also consider the stress of monotony and systemic issues.

Honestly, yes, it would be better if you added more villains or people who require far less of a push to be horrific human beings.
I'm not sure if Aquaman is that long lived, but for the sake of argument, I think, yes, there's a point where he will snap.
Hulk is definitely something to consider. Really depends on how much control Bruce can exert over himself and whether or not people will go out of their way to mess with him. I don't think he'd be perpetually raging, though.
Ghost Rider is one of the guys prone to becoming a problem, imo.
Black Adam as well.
Firelord, last I saw of him, wasn't all that arrogant, so I can't really speak as far as he goes.

yeah, he's still a good guy, but if hulk shoved him in the lunch line, I don't think clark would wait too long before retaliating.
Sure, I can agree with that.
But do you think DCnU Superman could be pushed to the point where he starts attacking people preemptively to teach them lessons or orchestrating gang riots or trying to rape or kill other inmates?
Aquaman would only get broodier as time went on; he's enough of a solitary person in general that feeling like everyone is against him won't be a new experience for him.
He might snap and kill his cell-mate at some point, but otherwise I see him adapting for the most part.

Oh, obviously not.

yeah...........I feel like I got the premise right but I failed on the characters. Provide me a good roster please? 🙂

Can we come up with a more compelling roster that you, jake, and I agree upon? would you edit the op for me in this case?
