    Was Fatality actually revealed to have been replaced with an imposter?

    I have gaps in my reading :)

    As far as slapdash comic-book philosophy goes, I found the bits with the Chosen to be wonderfully goofy and charming. And sure, the Chosen were chock full of broad stereotypes, but at least they...

    I was gonna mention Millennium (a series that I believe is unfairly maligned), but decided against it. You're correct that it didn't really push the concept as far as it could've - although I still...

    When the Legion properly returns, I'm a huge fan of the "Next Generation" concept. One of the many cool things about the original Legion is that their disconnected-from-the-present-DCU status...

    You do have to be careful with moves like this, 'cause they *are* blatant character resets. They're the writers essentially throwing their arms up and saying, "okay, we've messed this character up...

    That's realllllly tempting.

    The return of a morally-grey-but-ultimately-on-the-side-of-the-angels Maxwell Lord, untainted by shooting Ted Kord in the head (did that even *happen* in current DCU...
  7. Characters Who Could Use the Secret Invasion Treatment

    So, let's imagine DC, rather than going for another reboot, decides to reset some characters via the Secret Invasion route. To wit:



    Basically, it's a story that, without significantly...

    Which makes a lot (okay, some) more sense, anyway. I mean, Harlequin's Son should already pushing 70 years old as it is, making him a *future* member of the JSA is an outright mockery of calendars.

    Once you've got a mission statement, line-ups are practically gravy. 'Cause seriously, there are SO FREAKING MANY DC characters just sitting on the shelf, waiting for someone to dust them...

    I can wave away a lot of bad science for dramatic effect, but when films don't even try to head-nod towards how big space is, I get really annoyed:

    Example 1: The first Kelvin Star Trek movie. Old...

    A) The character creation set-up on CoH was insanely great.
    B) Now that you've said it, I can totally see it.

    If you're a really up-to-speed hero (ie, one who participates in a great number of multiverse shenanigans), that might be a difficult attitude to maintain.

    One thing I've sometimes wondered about is - how do the various "knock-off" universe characters cope with the realization that they're merely variations on a theme?

    When they're hanging out at the...

    Although an Earth-41 version of Planetary would be amusing. Given the obviousness of the Earth-41 names, I suspect their membership would consist of:
    Jackie Berlioz
    Ezekiel Graupel
    and Saxman

    I was gonna say, Psyba-Rats, man... that's a deep (albeit lame) cut.

    Truthfully, the worst DC comics I've ever read were probably ones I've completely forgotten because they were so by-the-numbers boring/ugly to look at. That'll happen when you've read over 20,000...

    Boy does he. He once created a character named Ben Steel, who had a pet bear named Hans.

    Unforgiveable, that one.

    I'm somewhat amused that at least 2/3s of the alt covers depict a version of Power Girl that's nowhere to be found within its covers :)
