Not till the 60's did you have a sizable number of teen sidekicks of big-name characters. It was basically just Robin and Speedy, and Green Arrow himself was hardly a 'big-name character'.

The two-part Monk story for sure.
I'm not very apprised on the latest in-continuity status of the Justice League, or many of the individual characters, but broadly speaking this is how I'd re-organize the franchise. Two books (at...
A bit of topic (maybe?) but I was similarly surprised that in episode 1 of X-men '97 the possibility of Storm taking over as leader of the X-men once Scott and Jean leave was never brought up.

Hypertime provides a rationale for multiple timelines/continuities (much like the Multiverse does, but with even fewer constraints). And that's perfectly fine.
My point is that if we're going to...
Oh it definitely was!
I mean, X-men '97 has a massive scope as well but its set in an established universe, unlike WatXM, which had to do all of the above with a new iteration of the franchise.
Yeah, that's kinda crazy.
Well, they've had him discover the truth about Cable...now finally its time for Havok.
With Forge on the X-men now, and Havok as Forge's ex-teammate, it'll actually...
100% with you on Iceman and Colossus.
In general, I'd love to see some flashbacks to the O5 and the pre-TAS era overall. If nothing else, an adaptation of Giant Size X-men # 1 (though it likely...
So I just finished watching X-men '97, which was my first real exposure to the character of Madelyne Pryor I think. I think I've read a couple of stray Claremont-era issues with her (from before she...
Interesting.
I suppose it was also that L&C was supposed to be an adaptation of the Post-Crisis Superman mythos, and consequently they didn't want any associations with a Superboy series.
Would this be the Parallax who survived Convergence?
Yeah, good point.
Even in the actual Golden Age, Alfred kind of forced himself on the household, and this was with a relatively more chill Bruce and Dick...not a solo, psychologically damaged...
SPOILERS
X-men '97 covered a lot of stuff from the comics - The Trial of Magneto, Inferno, Lifedeath, Fall of the Mutants, Operation Zero Tolerance, Fatal Attractions and E is for Extinction, and...
5 stars from me!
I just binged it all over the last few days, and maybe it is recency bias talking. The show definitely has a few flaws (though what they are depends on your perspective) but on...
Its Wonder Woman for a number of reasons:
1. She's DC's biggest female superhero - probably the biggest and most iconic female superhero ever. That gives her a unique place in pop-culture.
2....
I think its something that has shifted over time.
Traditionally, which is to say maybe uptil the 60's or 70's or so, it was probably Robin.
I think it remained Robin, but by the 70's, Aquaman...
Yes and no
The minutae of comics continuity lining up perfectly is a futile exercise. If you're reading a Batman story and it has flashbacks to Batman's early years, it doesn't really matter if...
Selina being from high society is actually pretty consistent with the origin the Golden Age Catwoman was retroactively given in the 80's - she was married to an abusive wealthy man, and her first act...
Pretty much this.
Joker
Penguin
Riddler
Scarecrow
Two Face
Mr. Freeze
Poison Ivy
Ra's al Ghul
On some level, what you're describing is already the way most DC and Marvel 'runs' work, where writers use a few pivotal past stories/runs/events as the foundation for their own narrative that can...
My controversial opinion for the day - there's absolutely no reason for Peter, single or not, to be perpetually broke. Its almost become a defining attribute of the character/franchise. Yes, it had...
I can definitely see military and corporate influence playing a possible role in the emergence of modern-day superheroes. I think the MCU, and the Ultimates before, got that part right.
As far as...
Wolverine is obvious.
Cyclops is popularly known as the leader of the X-men so his inclusion is also obvious.
Storm is possibly the most iconic female X-men character, and one of the most...
Getting rid of the 'X-men' name will be suicidal for the brand.
They'll deserve every single bit of 'anti-woke' abuse coming their way...
Its almost impossible to tell because these characters have had such a profound impact on pop-culture that the world would be a very different place today had they not been created during WW2.
