Telling people you can see through stuff is just a bad idea in general.

The Justice League uses the invisible jet tech to fight crime in the shadows and send criminals into the Phantom Zone with no due process. They end up being opposed and exposed by FBI agent Bruce Wayne (obsessed with the mystery of how his parents' killer simply vanished off the grid without a trace) and tabloid reporter Lois Lane.

You’d think it come up more often how hard it is to convey information to a blind super hero. How does he know what street he’s on? You can’t show DD pictures or give him a description of what the guy looks like.

He's lived in Hell's Kitchen all his life and was walking around the city when he got blinded. Also braille maps, which Daredevil has, because Matt Murdock owned the world's largest braille library in his lawyer firm

Also, actual blind people without super powers are able to figure out what street they're on and get around town.

I really enjoy how he not only has a sight on his Billy club/walking stick/ rifle, that is completely only there for show, but he has the time to deploy it against a homing missile.

What is the longest stretch of Good Teen Titans? I've only read a couple of issues of the Wolfman run and heard that it achieved some mythical level of quality, but I recently learned that Danny Chase was somehow part of the cast for four and a half years.

Gavok posted:There was also a What If where it turned out that Cap was helping Wanda when Disassembled happened. When the heroes went after them, it was decided that Cyclops was the only one who could match Cap in terms of tactics. I was all excited for that story beat but then Scott got chumped by Evil Cap pretty hard IIRC

If you can find the Comicology KC companion it's absolutely worth checking out. Ross had a better vision for a sequel but he and Waid had a falling out and he left the project. Some of those ideas made it into John's JSA run years later.
