{{Section stub}}At some point, the Children of Liberty was led by [[Ben Lockwood]], with the help of [[Mercy Graves|Mercy]] and [[Otis Graves]], as an anti-alien group, Ben became Agent Liberty, committing unspeakable acts such as murdering innocent aliens in cold blood.

  +
Eventually, the Children of Liberty make themselves publicly when a trio of Liberty agents assaulted an alien couple, which was thwarted by [[Kara Danvers|Supergirl]] and [[Manchester Black]]. Subsequently, the Children of Liberty's manifesto entitled "Twilight's Last Gleaming" was released across National City via dronves.
⚫
However, eventually, Ben was arrested and his identity as Agent Liberty was exposed to the public.<ref>{{Ep|Bunker Hill}}</ref> Unfortunately, he was released from prison since a crime is only defined as a terrorist act if it is committed against other humans, not aliens. Even though, the [[Alien Amnesty Act]] grants all aliens, in general, the same civil rights as humans, which was a result of [[Phil Baker]]'s manipulation; to improve his poll ratings.
  
   
  +
Around the same time, as Ben was praising [[James Olsen|James Olsen/Guardian]] as a pro-human hero, James decided to get in contact with the Children of Liberty. The group sent [[Tom]] to meet with James while he began tagging alien households for the Children of Liberty's planned attack on Thanksgiving. The attack was mostly thwarted by the [[Superfriends]], who managed to erase the majority of the Children of Liberty's invisible tags, though one raid resulted in a [[Dracokardosian]] [[Spike]] going on a rampage.<ref>{{Ep|Call to Action}}</ref>

[[Tom]] left the group after coming to his senses, as he became disillusioned and disgusted by the Children of Liberty's crusade against aliens, [[George Lockwood]] would also turn against the Children of Liberty after he discovered that one of his friends is an alien who hid what he was from George due to his father as well as Ben abandoning him after his mother, [[Lydia Lockwood]], was murdered to quench his thirst for vengeance.
  
   
  +
The day after, the Children of Liberty abducted James with the intention of recruiting him. Tom then decided to turn against the group once he realized that they were planning to use James to blow up [[Shelley Island (Earth-38)|Shelley Island]]'s monument with Supergirl in it, but the two were caught trying to escape. Supergirl was delivered to Shelley Island by Manchester Black in exchange for a meeting with Agent Liberty, but Ben sent a decoy in his stead. As the Children of Liberty forced James to detonate the monument, a weakened Supergirl managed to get his attention, prompting James to rebel against the Children of Liberty. Meanwhile, Manchester managed to learn Agent Liberty's identity from the decoy before disabling the island's power dampeners, enabling Supergirl to safely detonate the bomb in the air.<ref>{{Ep|Rather the Fallen Angel}}</ref>

Ben Lockwood discovers that he and his organization were (unknowing) pawns of [[Lex Luthor]], Ben and the Children of Liberty go to [[Shelley Island]] to get revenge on Lex for using them as pawns and also to kill Lex's alien prisoners who were innocent, Ben and his agents got into one last confrontation with Supergirl and the [[Superfriends]]. One by one the Children of Liberty were defeated. He got into a confrontation with the Kryptonian, managing to land a few blows. However, he was no match for her superior strength and combat skills, as she quickly overpowered him.

Ben then got into a confrontation with [[James Olsen]], whose combat skills were also superior to his, as the two men simultaneously stabbed each other with Lena's Harun-El extractors, removing each other's powers, but James lost an eye. Ben was ultimately defeated by [[Alex Danvers]].

Latest revision as of 07:26, 8 March 2024

The Children of Liberty were an anti-alien movement group led by Ben Lockwood. It was composed of humans and given Raymond Jensen's membership, possibly some augmented humans. It was later revealed that they were unwitting pawns in Lex Luthor's latest scheme. With Ben incarcerated and Lex's crimes exposed, the Children of Liberty were dissolved and it's members were incarcerated.

Overview

Knowing the threats extraterrestrials pose to humanity's future, Ben Lockwood decided to create a humanity first organization, to help empower and support human beings who have lost their financial assets, employment, and educational future to extraterrestrial activities and manipulations.

Ben seeks to either deport or kill all these extraterrestrials and bring the U.S. government back on working for the sole benefit of all of humanity.

History

Original multiverse

Beginnings

At some point, the Children of Liberty was led by Ben Lockwood, with the help of Mercy and Otis Graves, as an anti-alien group, Ben became Agent Liberty, committing unspeakable acts such as murdering innocent aliens in cold blood. His followers claim to be Agent Liberty themselves to protect Ben's identity.[1]

Eventually, the Children of Liberty make themselves publicly when a trio of Liberty agents assaulted an alien couple, which was thwarted by Supergirl and Manchester Black. Subsequently, the Children of Liberty's manifesto entitled "Twilight's Last Gleaming" was released across National City via dronves.

Around the same time, as Ben was praising James Olsen/Guardian as a pro-human hero, James decided to get in contact with the Children of Liberty. The group sent Tom to meet with James while he began tagging alien households for the Children of Liberty's planned attack on Thanksgiving. The attack was mostly thwarted by the Superfriends, who managed to erase the majority of the Children of Liberty's invisible tags, though one raid resulted in a Dracokardosian Spike going on a rampage.[2]

The day after, the Children of Liberty abducted James with the intention of recruiting him. Tom then decided to turn against the group once he realized that they were planning to use James to blow up Shelley Island's monument with Supergirl in it, but the two were caught trying to escape. Supergirl was delivered to Shelley Island by Manchester Black in exchange for a meeting with Agent Liberty, but Ben sent a decoy in his stead. As the Children of Liberty forced James to detonate the monument, a weakened Supergirl managed to get his attention, prompting James to rebel against the Children of Liberty. Meanwhile, Manchester managed to learn Agent Liberty's identity from the decoy before disabling the island's power dampeners, enabling Supergirl to safely detonate the bomb in the air.[3]

Alliance with President Baker

But eventually, Ben was arrested and his identity as Agent Liberty was exposed to the public.[4] Unfortunately, he was released from prison; since a crime is only defined as a terrorist act if it is committed against other humans, not aliens; even though, the Alien Amnesty Act grants all aliens in general, the same civil rights as humans; which was a result; of Phil Baker's manipulation to improve his poll ratings.[5]

Following Red Daughter's attack on the White House, Baker approved Ben's request to deputize the Children of Liberty.[6]

After Ben's wife, Lydia is murdered by an alien, he leads the Children of Liberty to raiding alien hideouts for her murderer. When they located the culprit, Ben had her associates arrested as accessories. When confronted; by Guardian and Dreamer, Ben injected himself; with Harun-El to give himself the same powers as the former, but was ultimately defeated.[7]

Pawns of Lex Luthor and downfall

Following a confrontation with Lena Luthor, implying that Ben and his organization were (unknowing) pawns of Lex Luthor, Ben confronted Otis Graves, who confirmed Lena's accusations. Ben then killed Otis in a three-way fight between them and James Olsen.[8]

After avoiding an assassination attempt by clones of Eve Teschmacher, Ben learned that Lex was based on Shelley Island, Ben gathered a group of his followers to get revenge on Lex for using them as pawns and also to kill Lex's alien prisoners. Upon arrival, Ben and his agents got into one last confrontation with Supergirl and the Superfriends, which ended in their defeat as well as Ben losing his powers.

After Lex's crimes are exposed to the public, Baker is subsequently removed from office, impeached and arrested for his involvement with Lex, vice president Plastino is appointed as the acting president of United States until re-elections can be held again. His first acts were to take away the deputation of the Children of Liberty and re-enact the Alien Amnesty Act; unlike before, he makes sure that their human laws also apply to Alien Amnesty Act, thus Ben and several other members of the Children of Liberty are incarcerated for domestic terrorism, and the group is dissolved.

A former member of the group, George would later become a peacemaker between aliens and humans to ensure that no family would be divided by hatred; thus, putting an end to the Children of Liberty's crusade against aliens for good.[9]

New multiverse

After the crisis, they were a part of Earth-Prime, but like what happened on Earth-38, a post-crisis Children of Liberty were taken down by the Superfriends and the D.E.O.; whether or not Lex Luthor had any involvement with them is unknown.[10][11]

Alternate reality

The Children of Liberty was in action in a reality created by Kara Danvers and Mxyzptlk where Lena knew Kara was Supergirl and were very close of friends. They kidnapped Lena and the leader of the Cult of Rao, Thomas Coville (after Ben Lockwood's family perished while waiting for Supergirl to save them; jumping off a skyscraper) in a successful attempt to get Supergirl to reveal she's Kara Danvers. After she rescued Thomas and Lena, they murdered each and every single friend and family Kara Danvers ever had, including Cat Grant in order to make Kara suffer.[11]

Legacy

The spaceships landed in National City

These spaceships ironically helped Earth's human population escape, along with others across Earth-38.

During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, the Coluan Querl Dox showed concern for the human population because many of the resources needed to be called into, in order to evacuate Earth-38 during the crisis, were alien-owned and that they might not lift a finger to help humans, due to the actions of the former president, Phil Baker and the Children of Liberty. But the Martian, J'onn J'onzz had faith that both aliens and humans put aside their differences and do the right thing. Thankfully for three billion citizens of Earth, J'onn was proven right.

Despite the Alien Amnesty Act being revoked and later reinstated by the last administration, the aliens did the right thing and helped the humans escape the antimatter wave sent by the immensely powerful interdimensional war criminal, the Anti-Monitor and they made it to Earth-1, although one billion of those who were successfully evacuated owe their lives to one of Earth-1's greatest heroes, Oliver Queen, as he made the ultimate sacrifice; buying enough time for them to escape Earth-38's destruction. This showed that good human-alien relations survived, despite the actions of the Children of Liberty.[12]
