Poking fun at GTA Vice City's parody show Yuppie and the Alien.
Announcer: This fall, a new hard-hitting police drama is coming to Friday night. He was a well-to-do cop, bitten by an alien and transferred to a troubled precinct downtown. His new partner is a space traveler, with an orange ring and a passion to have EVERYTHING. It's Lafreeze & Gunfire!
Captain: Look! You might vaporize dissidents in the Delta Quadrant, but in this precinct, we do it by the book!
Gunfire: I'm so terribly sorry, captain.
Lafreeze: Dah. I guess I have to be a role model for Mark.
Mark: You blew up my parents you NUT! I am only with you until Batman needs another black kid. SO teach my how to use that ring so I can get rid of Duke Thomas.
Announcer: Don't miss this one-of-a-kind police drama. They're fighting crime the hard way, in designer clothes, with a quarter of a million dollar sports car, and a UFO.
Gunfire: Partner, let's go cruise in the car, and look moody.
Announcer: One tough, downtown precinct, two outsiders, doing things their way, Lafreeze & Gunfire, on VBC.
Gunfire is from DC's Blood Line-not the original version but the recent mini with the loose ending.
Mark is from that mini too-his Dad killed him after the aliens infected him.
Lafreeze is Lafreeze

Digging DEEP into the DC Comics limbo graveyard...
The Wrecking Crew-who would probably moonlight as Chippendale Dancers to pay bills when not getting their rear ends handed to them by DC's heroes.
Who is who (and mocking Marvel's version)
Crowbar (Thunderball)
Hearse (Wrecker)
Strongbox (Bulldozer)
Amalgam (Piledriver)
For background-
Crowbar is a Vibe villain from Vibe's era on Justice League
Hearse is a ONE time villain from Superman (Action Comics 756)
Strongbox is ANOTHER villain from Superman MOS 28
Amalgam is a Steel (John Henry Irons) villain. Yes he does have cyborg arms and is named AL(vin) BUNDY.
DC needs more official teams, that are not "legacy teams" . Not a spinoff of the justice league or teen titans or Doom Patrol.
What spin-offs does the Doom Patrol have?
I do agree on teams needing to get away from the Justice League brand. Justice League Dark could easily have been named Shadowpact. And Justice League Odyssey could have been the new L.E.G.I.O.N. or some other more original name.
I love the idea of creating a Golden Age version of the Terrifics so I thought I'd try my hand doing the same with one of my favorite DC teams, the JLI. I gave myself three conditions: all the characters must have legitimately been created in the Golden Age; any character from any publisher DC has acquired over the years qualifies; and any JLI members who are basically modern reboots of GA characters, like Batman or Shazam/Captain Marvel, cannot have their original GA version stand in for them. So with all that in mind...
1. Sandman - Batman
2. Red Bee - Blue Beetle
3. Johnny Thunder - Booster Gold
4. Miss America - Martian Manhunter
5. Green Lantern (Alan Scott) - Captain Atom
6. Wildcat - Guy Gardner
7. Black Canary - Black Canary (mother/daughter)
8. Dr. Fate - Dr. Fate (JLI member was GA character)
9. The Ray - Dr. Light
10. Wildfire - Fire
11. Neptune Perkins - Ice
12. Merry, Girl of 1000 Gimmicks - Mister Miracle
13. Joe Hercules - Captain Marvel
14. Bozo the Iron Man - Rocket Red

I'd like a series like ALL-STAR SQUADRON but set in the 1950s, where non-costumed beings are drafted into a kind of Mission Impossible force. I've been reading a lot of stories from the 1950s anthology comics and although these aren't set in a shared universe, I like to imagine what would happen if it was a shared universe and after each of the stories of these strange characters there was an underground organization that tapped them to work for them.
The Champions
Hercules - Wonder Woman
Angel - Hawkwoman
Ghost Rider - Fire
Iceman - Ice
Black Widow - Onyx Adams
