DC’s Lazarus Planet event began this week, throwing a surprising crop of superheroes and villains into a conflict that is transforming the DC Universe in some wild ways. In addition to countless established characters, and newer fan-favorites like Red Canary and Monkey Prince, it looks like the event will now be including a brand-new superhero. Earlier this month, creator A..L. Kaplan took to Twitter to reveal the first look at Circuit Breaker, a new hero who will be debuting in Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate #1 on February 14th. Also known as Jules Jourdain, Circuit Breaker is a transmasculine hero who uses he/they pronouns, and who is “blessed (or cursed?) with the dreaded Still Force”, the cosmic force that is seen as the polar opposite of the Speed Force utilized by DC’s speedsters.
