THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
There's a bunch of stuff DC never talks about, either because it's silly, embarrassing, or weird:
- What was the deal with the Lord Malvolio dude who realllly wanted Hal to have his power ring?
- Snowflame, the super-villain powered by cocaine!
- Countdown to Final Crisis. I mean, like, all of it.
- Amazons Attack!
- Weirdly, Jack Knight. It's like he completely fell out of the DCU.
- Kyle Rayner dating Carol Ferris.
- Remember when Black Canary had a one-night stand with the Ray? You don't? Good.
- Twilight Lobo. Seriously, if you say his name three times, he might pop up again.
- Bar-Torr and the New 52 Superboy.
- Uncle Sam's brief mid-life crisis as "The Patriot."
- The Yazz
- The 3 Jokers.
There are others.
(imagines Twilight Lobo popping up in a black-and-white striped outfit, muttering "It's Showtime!")
In all seriousness, I think there's some story mileage you could get out of Twilight Lobo a) discovering that he's not the real Main Man, b) going HAM on whoever's responsible for making him *think* he was the real deal (in-universe, not DC editorial), c) going on goofy adventures to get his "Main Man" groove back, and d) trying to carve out a niche for himself in the universe while staying as far away as possible from the original guy.
You took mine. I would also add making Harley a "hero" despite helping the Joker killing people. Or actual assassins like Deathstroke roaming around free despite heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman perfectly capable of rounding him up. I know Batman would never let someone like that roam free. Or Harley.
Assassinate Putin!
