The four new teams in No Justice are named after Mystery, Wonder, Wisdom, and Entropy. What do those four concepts have to do with what’s going on?
TYNION: The universe is broken and roiling with chaos, so now these four ancient beings who have lain dormant for millennia are coming back to life because they believe the universe is dying — because it now has a hole in the side of it. So they’re gonna try and try to consume all the life force in the universe. What we wanted to do was identify the four core life forces of the universe, the four camps of characters, that embody DC and the human spirit. We have cosmic exploration in Mystery, we have magical god forces in Wonder, we have technological innovation and detective work in Wisdom, and then we have chaos and evil in Entropy. There are different characters aligned on that spectrum that we wanted to tap into for a mythological breakdown of the four teams. But we needed these four beings to be larger than life, and create an incredible backstory that shows how major the ramifications of Metal and breaking the Source Wall would be. When we first started talking about these beings, we threw the rough idea over to Francis, and in that day he sent back design after design. That was the moment the series really coalesced into something powerful.
