Is it just me or is that one weird name?
Writing about comics https://bookofhsssh.blogspot.com
Educational town, Rolemodel city and Moralofthestory land are the places where good comics go to die.
DC writers and editors looked up and shouted "Save us!"
And Alan Moore looked down and whispered "No."
I'm kinda surprised Snyder didn't want Superman to watch Lois and Bruce conceive their love child. All the while singing the "Na na na na na na Batman!" theme song - Robotman, 03/06/2021
They have the names Jog, Chaos Kitten, Fin, Wink, T.N.Teen & The Aerie: Im pretty sure Taylor isn't good with naming
also Gossamer? what exactly does the name has anything to do with his powers or costume. Gossamer a fine, filmy substance consisting of cobwebs spun by small spiders, seen especially in autumn it's also the name of a Looney Tunes character

Wait, it's another name for spider webs? Would make a great name for a Spider-Man ally then.
Ah, looked it up.

Gossamer is also the name of that wacky human-powered flying machine from the 70s.

“Look, you can’t put the Superman #77s with the #200s. They haven’t even discovered Red Kryptonite yet. And you can’t put the #98s with the #300s, Lori Lemaris hasn’t even been introduced.” — Sam
“Where the hell are you from? Krypton?” — Edgar Frog
Work on stories aside, Tom Taylor shouldn't give hero/villain names. Because when I hear "Gossamer" I think of tall, red, and hairy. Not fakeJon's possibly malicious boyfriend.
Gossamer? They're laughing at the readers aren't they?
Really? Jay's codename is the one thing I DON'T have a problem with. I actually kind of like it. It's unique. It conjures images in my head of shimmering, silky, rainbow-y wisps that fit with the aesthetic they desperately want you to think Jay has but actually doesn't because he's not some aspirational hero but a conniving villain.
