The latter imo. It doesn’t make sense that the infection would amp them. Where would the amp come from? But it’s comes so it might.

BB’s tech was operating at a level higher than before, Donna was near WW in power, and Billy is clearly at a level rarely seen. Both options have the same result of them being above average making it a semantics game.

The latter would just piss off certain people.

Mary Marvel was a match for King Shazam or close to it, so the Dark Metal might be a BR type of vibe.

and it's the same virus that infected TBWL right? he's just infecting the other heroes with it now?

Superman and Batman both said Blue Beetle is actually amplified in power, so did Shazam in Black Adam oneshot.

But somehow its only drawing power from within them.

Shazam outright overpowered Black Adam as well.

Don't worry, if it's an actual amp it'll be used to low ball DC characters for years to come

Its specifically designed for each of the characters. Scans already posted even.

oh i know it's catered to each person it infects. i'm just wondering if the virus has the same general effect on them that it had on TBWL? that's what i mean by "same virus"

Such an angry lad.

What does your preference for Marvel vs DC matter here? This is an isolated DC event.

It looks to be doing both. Amping them and allowing them to cut loose. So the well is twice as deep

Same feeling, Lex in this arc seems pretty ooc. I thought he should have some plan to trick Perpetua, But now it seems he completely and undoubtedly loyal to Perpetua which i think is impossible 😕
