After the Elite were defeated by Superman and sent off to prison to have their powers removed so they could do no more harm, Manchester Black spent most of his time in his cell thinking. Plotting the many ways, that he’d make Superman pay for what he did. How he’d find his friends, family, any person that ever came into contact with him and make them SUFFER. However, as he truly thought over those actions, he realized what he was thinking was making him similar to the villains he and Elite fought. The lesson Superman was trying to teach him was starting to seep in, there WAS indeed a better way, but not Superman’s way. Black and the Elite would still do things their own way, not answer to anybody, but they’d PROVE to Superman and the world WHY their way was much better. So, he broke his fellow Elite members out of prison, flattened said prison to the ground, and now go on adventures all over the world and galaxy to prove their philosophy right, maybe even come to terms with their own inner demons and become better people
