Broader question with regards to Deadman - is he, as a character, basically unusable these days?
His whole schtick - taking over someone's body without their permission, and doing dangerous things with it... that raises all sorts of consent red flags, right?
I mean, it's one thing if he's floating around, sees someone about to get mugged, takes over the mugger and walks him up to the nearest cop, or otherwise uses his skills to save people's lives in the heat of the moment. But anything beyond that is kind of Starfox-level/Wonder Woman raping that poor guy in WW 1984, right?
How do you make Deadman non-squicky for modern audiences?
