Once upon a time, particularly during
the comics code days,
comic book superheroes were written to be role models for kids,
upholding "truth, justice, and the American way." Over time, that got
pretty boring. As comic book writers made their characters more
realistic, they struggled with the moral ambiguities of fighting super
villains and dealing with modern life. And sometimes those superheroes
could be plain assholes.
DC superheroes in
particular have been saddled with the many ethical qualities that once
made them so popular, but in recent decades have been shown to be much
less wholesome than they were originally portrayed. Even the poster boy
for DC, Superman, has been taken through a host of changes that have
marked him as something less than the ideal superhero he was touted as
in the beginning. As far as lying and cheating however, Superman is
still a boy scout when compared to the five heroes listed below.
Read about
the DC superheroes who have made lying a part of their personalities in order to achieve their ends at Unreality.
