JLA: Created Equal is a two-issue DC Elseworlds series published in 2000. It is written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by Kevin Maguire.A cosmic storm passes through the planet Earth, bringing with it a mysterious plague which nearly kills the entire male population (an event later referred to as the Fall). (Oddly enough, this even affects such characters as J'onn J'onzz whose gender is solely a matter of choice.) The only two men who survive are Superman and his archenemy Lex Luthor.
