    Default Who at DC comics is currently a disable hero or Heroine in DC Rebirth ?

    First off I do apologize for putting such a tired topic here, but it had to be said. Say what you will about Marvel, but at least it has a disable hero who uses his powers in a unique way in the form of Daredevil.

    Who does DC currently have for a Disable being to look up to ?

    Oracle ? Not anymore.

    Batman ? He always gets healed over time

    The Chief of the Doom Patrol ? It depends on the story.

    Honestly, who over at DC has a disability and uses their powers in a unique way to make themselves a better hero or Heroine ?

    This might be a stretch, but possibly Cassandra Cain. A week or so back James Tynion was discussing her as being neurologically atypical in response to a fan who had noticed it. I'll have to find the links later since I'm on mobile as well as to show exactly what he said, but I remember being impressed with his answers.

    Edit: There could also be an argument made for Batwoman as well, since she dealt with some mental health issues during her solo series, though that's not been addressed yet in Rebirth.

    The Riddler, depending on the version. For both, being a hero and having mobility issues. And, depending of the version, add taste issues. You can dress a mean suit and bowler, and choose a green leotard?

    Don't know if he's appeared post Rebirth yet, but I think Freddy Freeman was comics first disabled character turned hero.
    And has always been and will still very much be a part of DCs line up, as seen in promo material.

    It also depends on which story the Doom Patrol is in.

    Yes, in the second image is post 52 where he's blond, he's still portrayed as disabled, What's your point?

    Thanks to his appearance in Justice League and even the DCAU movies and Teen Titans Go, most people are familiar with Cyborg now.

    Well, I agree with you.

    Does Deathstroke count because he has one eye? Then there're his kids; as you wrote, depending on the story, Rose may or may not have one eye. Is Jericho still mute?

    Yeah he's mute. He uses tech and whatnot to speak but that doesn't change the fact.
