There's some good stuff in there.

My vote would be:

Archie
Soul Calibur
Astro City

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Kitty Pryde! Phoenix! W.H.O.! Kylun! Cerise!)

Regarding the Krakoa Age, you can look at it in simple economics. If the Krakoan Age wasn't going well, Marvel wouldn't have let it go this long. They've taken big names off books before and cut huge runs short when the sales aren't performing, so clearly people are buying the book. The few comic bo...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Cammy! Ryu! Ken! Luke! Jamie! Zangief!)

So I shall ask the all-important question: Who are your Street Fighter mains? Question 2: Who are your favorite characters (not necessarily ones you play)? Question 3: Who's your Superwaifu? (or Superhusband? I won't judge) Question 1) Chun-Li and E. Honda for very similar and very different answer...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Maria Renard! Bloodlines! Alucard! Soma Cruz!)

Portrait of Ruin is, quite possibly, my favorite Castlevania game of all time, as it's the one I've played the most. The dynamic of switching between the two characters, figuring out whose abilities are the most useful in a situation (usually Charlotte's, because she has more variety), and changing ...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Castlevania- Simon, Trevor & Richter Belmont!)

I'll admit, I never really got into the Castlevania games until the DS series: Dawn Of Sorrow, Portrait Of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia. I had a lot of fun with them, and I think out of all three my favorite was Portrait Of Ruin, then Order of Ecclesia, then Dawn Of Sorrow. Part of it is that Charlot...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Granny Goodness! Warhounds! Glorious Godfrey!)

The idea of the Justifiers follows a lot of what Kirby was throwing in to the New Gods and how he managed to design characters that could be used with a lot of nuance, but also stripped away a lot of the subtlety. The idea of the "Justifiers," people who use the words of Glorious Godfrey t...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Big Barda! The Female Furies! Granny Goodness!)

Part of the magic of Granny Goodness is how it spotlights how Darkseid can take things and twist them into tools to serve him, even if it's just language and meaning. It goes along with making an "amusement park" he can calmly walk around in. Take something people would find comforting (&q...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (The Forever People! Forager! Orion!)

The New Gods are...interesting, in that they're trying to take the place of something, but their intent is entirely different from the original. Kinda. Sorta. Look, it's hard to explain, but I'll try. We have characters like Thor and Hercules in comics, and comics are referred to as a "modern ...

ZEPHYR- MISTRESS OF THE WINDS (Real Name Unknown) When I was younger and prone to inventing my own superheroes, before I knew Zephyr was actally a real character, I picked the name for a female speedster, someone who could "zip through the trees" unseen and moved so fast there was a faint...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Home Improvement! Rampage! Addams Family! Snatcher!)

I did play Snatcher, and it was certainly a step forward in video games at the time. What's funny, though, is there's also a Blade Runner video game that I thought was monumentally ahead of its time, since the NPCs would actually do their story beats regardless of whether the main character was pres...

And at some point between the end of the Crisis and her death defending Kara, she had all her internal organs removed and her torso was trapped in a taffy stretching machine… Michael Turner had a very distinct style. You can't spell "distinct" with out "stinked." ...wait. I'm be...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (The Eradicator! Silver Banshee! Superboy-Prime!)

Loving that idea: Kirby’s Fourth World mythos was built on the premise that the New Gods had replaced the Old Gods, in a grand cosmic cycle that was predestined to repeat itself time and again. So… What if “King Kosmos” was one of those Old Gods? IIRC, we’ve never really had any canonical stories a...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (The Eradicator! Silver Banshee! Superboy-Prime!)

Brahma was also shown to have some level of high intelligence, having a lab in his home basement, and working on concocting a serum or formula that would stabilize his powers, as they seemed to be ripping him apart and causing him intense pain. He could also hack (sigh) high level Star Labs systems,...
