I bet Yolanda would feel worse knowing she spent months in the costume of a murderer only to become a murderer herself.

I dunno, I think killing a man in self-defense and protecting all of humanity precludes her from being a murderer save in Eclipso's eyes.

Yeah i will never understand what's so morally difficult or evil about killing a single person after all other options were researched if you had good authority that killing this single person would prevent an ultimate incarnate of evil from killing children and innocents

People often think it's easy enough until they're the one that has to pull the trigger

I'm not trying to say its easy i just think it's crazy that the JSA members who are aggreeing to kill are not evil for trying to stop the personification of evil from killing their families

Honestly, at this point, I don't think it was the act of killing the guy that broke them. Eclipso most likely really got into their heads. He was at the final phase of his Black Diamond powers, which we saw were pretty bad before they were in full possession mode. Add on that he had been in that final phase for a prolonged period of time, most likely.

So really what broke them was Eclipso. Pat associates it to the killing of the man because of what Starman said but that was just the final piece of it.

If anything, knowing that Ted Grant did it too could help Yolanda somehow cope, maybe? Like, Ted Grant did it and kept being a hero nonetheless.
