Superman vs The Elite (2012)

The Elite, a team of super-powered vigilantes, gain worldwide attention for confronting terrorists and other criminals using methods that are characterized by mass destruction and violent, summary execution. As their popularity grows, Superman finds that they are outshining him with disquieting methods that grow more ruthless by the day even as the public appears to approve of their sneering dismissal of the Man of Steel's sense of moral restraint. However, as Lois Lane digs into the truth about the eponymous team, secrets discovered combine with the team's escalating arrogance to create a menace determined to destroy Superman's image. Against that, Superman will have to resort to a disturbingly unorthodox solution to defeat them, along with their leader: the enigmatic Manchester Black, with a new perspective they cannot ignore.
