Maybe she is related to some of those fish species than change sex.
[QUOTE=Vordan;5769627]They probably did borrow from Carol’s design and background but in terms of concept she’s a clear Captain Universe expy:

I must concede than indeed Doctor Multiverse seems to be more like a Captain Universe analog. But Gary Frank draws her slightly different:

And her origin reminds more of Captain Universe and Monica Rambeau than Carol's. But Williamson himself said she had different aspects of characters.

Well, she's in-between Calvin and Thomas Wayne Batman so I guess she is effectively a Wonder Woman equivalent.

why is she black here but white in the DC nation picture?
[QUOTE=lemonpeace;5776602]why is she black here but white in the DC nation picture?[/QUOTE]
...Is this a reverse Lightning Lad situation?
I thought she was of Indian ascendancy after seeing the first picture, but she does look black in Gary Frank's image.

Looks like it, wonder if that means the final to be revealed member is from another “family” then?
[QUOTE=lemonpeace;5776602]why is she black here but white in the DC nation picture?[/QUOTE]
Maybe they changed her race but forgot to pull/change the ad? Is she black though? Her name made me think Indian.

I'm saying black in the Gary Frank cover because of the hair texture, the DC nation excerpt she is on the tanner side, so maybe she's supposed to be indian. if that's the case (that she's indian) I can see how the mix up could've happened. maybe she was original gonna be black, they considered making her black, or Gary Frank saw an earlier iteration that was just darker skinned and he misinterpreted it.

She is not indian, she is canadian, well from a parallel Canada (Canadangor?), but canadian.
The race can be a mistake from the artist interpretation. But if it is a mistake from Frank or from Peterson, we will have to wait. MAybe it will be corrected before the published issue.
"Prelude to Aquamen"?

"Horny?" I'm not sure if DC is any more horny than they used to be. Like, other than Tim Drake and Jon Kent's sexualities coming up, the horniest thing I can think of in recent months is Superman and Lois having sky sex.
As for what I guess is happening now because of there no longer being some massive control issue:
- Wally being The Flash?
- Directly addressing characters' sexuality?
- Batman going back to Batman Inc.?
- The JSA...exist?
- The Wonder Family appearing in a Wonder Woman book?
- Diverse legacy heroes?
