Once dead, 12 heroes and villains were resurrected by a white light expelled deep from within the center of the Earth. Deemed a miracle by many and a sign of the apocalypse by others, the reasons behind their rebirths remain a mystery. But it will not be a mystery for long.
@DarkKnight96000: They have each been chosen as elementals (presumably why their life forces were "purified") to combat the big nasty. Funny enough this is the second time Firestorm has been the Fire Elemental, I believe Aquaman has been the Water one before, and John has been a planet before in DC One Million, so it kinda makes sense.

Shucks, I didn't look at the spoilers but now I know what you all are talking about. I'm still gonna read through anyway regardless. Interesting though!
@RedheadedAtrocitus: Mine's only 7%, so $76.78. We're both suckers. I thought things were finally getting good with #22 and the Anti-Monitor and then this crap. Total waste.
I've been rereading Brightest Day and y'know it does kinda all make sense. J'onn's forest on Mars was draining the life force from Earth. In brightest day #19 the white light said that the Earth's life force had been poisoned for centuries by mankind but Nekron's attack heightened the contamination of Earth's Life-Web, it's very soul. Soon the corruption would rise in the form of a dark avatar and it would seek out the forest the white light created in Star City. It held the key to Earth's salvation and prevent the Earth from turning against humanity.
@Telcalipoca: Brightest Day is more of a storyline than Heroic Age. It's about 12 super-humans resurrected by the white light that represents all life in the universe searching for an avatar for itself. Some of them are being used to fight a corruption within the Earth from turning against humanity.
