Added DiffLines:

* SpiritualAdaptation: While this story obviously never saw fruition in itself, many a later CrisisCrossover can be said to ''borrow'' liberally from it.
** 1988's ''Invasion!'' was based around the whole idea of the DCU's alien races (including "heroic" ones like the [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Thanagarians]]) forming an alliance to keep Earth's superhumans "under control". In fact, the plot-thread of the Thanagarians wanting [[ComicBook/AdamStrange Rann's Zeta-beam]] as a free gate to Earth, originally sown in Moore's ''ComicBook/SwampThing'', was originally meant for this story; it got repurposed for ''Invasion!'' with barely a blip.
** 1991's ''ComicBook/Armageddon2001'' did the whole "BadFuture prophecies for each and every hero" gimmick, down to the time gap being explicitly ten years (the key difference being that this Bad Future is mostly the fault of ''one'' FallenHero). Hilariously enough, the Batman-centric bits read pretty much like a RecursiveAdaptation of ''ComicBook/TheDarkKnightReturns''.
** The ''best''-known, though, is probably 1996's ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'', which hews closest to the idea of superhero dynasties (including the famed Superman/Wonder Woman pairing), their DestructiveSavior aspects, and GrayAndGreyMorality all around.
