The Great Ten are a Chinese superhero team in the DC Universe.

Origin

The Great Ten was formed by a Chinese government to fight for their country.

History

The exact details of the formation of the Great Ten remains unknown, though we know that they were brought together at the behest of the Chinese government and are China's premiere superhero team.  Despite their fame and power, they seem to constantly be impeded by the bureaucracy of their government as each time they enter combat, they first must gain government approval.

Eventually, the Chinese government entered a coalition with the nations of Kahndaq, Iran, Uzbekistan, and Pakistan to team up with Kahndaq's incredibly powerful superhuman leader Black Adam.  However, when Black Adam discovered that the Chinese government was complicit with a Science Squad who were responsible for murdering his wife and her brother, Adam looked for revenge in China, putting him on a collision course with the Great Ten. The Great Ten were defeated, forcing member August General in Iron to go against his own personal policies and request the help of the international superheroes of the world. Eventually, the World's heroes go to war with Black Adam, a fight barely won when Captain Marvel reverted Black Adam to his mortal form and Zatanna changed Black Adam's magic word that turns him superhuman.
