Echoes of the Multiverse

That bugs me less that the idea that only women can love. I mean, what about sentient viruses and mathematical equations? What bugs me is that what the Star Sapphires represent isn't even Love. It's more like Obsession and Possessiveness, more in keeping with the Orange Light. It honestly feels lik...

The Nomu's always reminded me of the kind of freaky stuff that would escape from an Umbrella laboratory in Resident Evil. Only now the freaks had legit superpowers in addition to the pseudo-superpowers their weird mutations gave them. I can just imagine standard superheroes fighting these things. &q...

Two things... Ares, lemme just say, its great to see someone else this ready to go on spiels about Kamen Rider, we are gonna get along great. And yeah, Kamen Rider Power Levels can be a bit difficult. Tokusatsu in general is a bit loose with their scale, it makes this pretty difficult. Hey, I just ...

Wow, Kame Riders are a LOT more powerful than I was expecting. I was thinking stuff like PL 8-10 Martial Artist type builds with a few extra tricks, and themed around their cool bikes. Instead some of these guys are major-league powerhouses, falling just under Ben Grimm in power, but having the acc...

Loving these builds so far. Figuring out the exact Power Level for Riders can be tricky, given the shows tend to operate on very different power levels, but when the Riders show up for crossovers, they're generally all on the same Power Level, with only a few differences. In Decade's fight with Amaz...

And like I said earlier, the Red Lanterns would be fine as a villain group if they weren't a "Lantern Corps". If Atrocitus was just some solo-villain who could inspire anger in planetary populations or the leader of some kind of terrorist group where he could empower people with similar ab...

And Jab, I agree with you and Ares that the killing-off of SO many "name" Green Lanterns over the years diminished the mythos; it indeed proved to be the "death of a thousand cuts". At one point, the GL Corps indeed seemed like a league of respected, legendary heroes of so many ...

yeah, the Brubaker/Fraction Iron Fist tale is proof positive that it can work, but only because it did nothing but add. The cast was exponentially increased and his world got so much bigger, and stuff that didn't work (Danny's half-sister and the race of evil plants) was ignored. Those retcons work...

(And as an aside, I've read a few of your "if I was in charge of this character's continuity and portrayal, it would be like so ..." posts, and I think you'd clearly be one of the better ones.) Aw, thanks! :D As for Mongul, rather than "Darkseid-lite" being any kind of knock aga...

Granted, I'd do a few other things like make Black Canary's Canary Cry a Chi Technique she picked up, change a good bit of the Green Lantern lore, have my own take on Krypton and a lot of other things. Which might make me a hypocrite given my annoyance with Jason Aaron retconning everything, but I'...

My thoughts were generally that most of who are considered the modern iconic heroes got their start in their mid-twenties, and by the modern era have settled into their mid-to-late 30's in the modern era. So the Justice League was formed when Clark, Bruce, Arthur, Hal and Barry(Diana and J'onn's age...

I'm going out on a limb here and (mis)quote part of an old White Dwarf article about "what makes Chaos cool". The short answer is that, for some people, heroes are a known quantity. It doesn't matter if we are talking about someone who turned his traumas inside-out like Batman or someone ...

I've never really understood the fascination with villains. I get the appeal to some extent, they're the people in the dark outfits doing things a lot of us would secretly like to do in our most frustrated moments, but to the point that some people actually IDENTIFY more with the bad guys than the g...
