Random Stranger posted:"Give me the most 90s you've got!" It feels like a proto-90s style, while also being a a knock off of 90s style. Kind of like if someone working at DC in the 90s described to an artist a comic panel that was done by someone working at Marvel in the 90s who was doing a comic panel described to them by someone working at Malibu.

Anyone remember Bloodlines, the crossover among the DC comics annuals in the early 90's? The correct answer to that is "No" if you don't, and "No" while pulling a gun on the person who mentioned it if you do. The schtick for the annuals that year was that there were aliens who stuck their jaws into people to suck out their fluids and occasionally one of their victims survived and got powers. Each annual introduced a new character who would surely be the sensational character find of 1993. (Oddly enough Marvel had the exact same gimmick for their annuals that year though they didn't bother with a wrapper story for it and instead gave you trading cards of all their new characters.) Needless to say out of the 20+ characters introduced, exactly one stuck around. And Tommy Monaghan glossed over the alien bite part of his origin. The Legion of Superheroes contribution to the pile was Jamm, an "extreme" skater dude who spoke like a sixty year old trying to write hip lingo. He gets accidentally pulled into the future in a really stupid plot device after his alien attack. Jamm gets the power of mind control and as soon as he realized he can do it he abducts new mother Night Girl telling her to abandon the infant, and then as they're cruising away Jamm has her strip naked. The scene cuts away at that point letting reader decide if Jamm went any further. And then he does it again to Shadow Lass who laughs it off. Eventually Jamm learns his lesson because orders he gave put his life in jeopardy, and that's good enough for everybody involved. Tom and Mary Bierbaum are responsible for this story and it's a real, "What the gently caress were they thinking!?" one. It's definitely in the running for the most unpleasant Legion story, not taking the top spot because they've also been writing stories about how Legion villain Mordru has been raping and torturing Legion member White Witch for years (but you see, it was all his plan to make her hate him so he could absorb her power...).

I had only ever seen Jamm in the Bloodbath issues and trading cards and found him annoying from that. I received the entire set of bloodlines cards as a Christmas gift in 93 so I have a bit of a soft spot for some of these characters. I think Nightblade, Geist, Loose Cannon and a few others were fine. But Jamm always seemed lame. Just as lame was calling a mixed race character who was powered by rage Mongrel.

There were quite a few series launched out of the crossover because it was the early 90's and the name of the game was to pump out as many comics as you could regardless of quality. As far as I can tell Jamm never appeared again after the Legion annual or the closing book of the Bloodlines crossover.

So did Anima. Sparx was part of a team in the 90s too, either Titans or the Ravers. Lionheart stuck around the Justice League books for a bit but I don’t think he was used after Zero Hour. There was also a Blood Pack miniseries but I don’t think any of those characters appeared again until getting killed off in Infinite Crisis. There is a surprisingly fun issue of Justice League Task Force with Joe Public, Loose Cannon and a few others. Please contact your local library for more info about Bloodlines.

I remember being at the right age where I was reading any comic I could get my hands on (not many) and the aliens from Bloodlines scaring the poo poo out of me. I dared myself to read...the Justice League annual I think it was. Just something about those aliens.

Open Marriage Night posted:Which one showed up in Azbats era Batman? Here is a list of Bloodlines characters. It includes the annuals in which they made their first appearance, and by clicking on each name a hyperlink directs you to a profile page for the individual character. The linked webpage profiles will also reveal what appearances each character made after their initial appearance in a Bloodline Annual. The characters of Ballistic, Cardinal Sin, Geist, Joe Public, and Razorsharp all debuted in Batbook Annuals, during a period in which Azrael was Batman. I leave it as an exercise for those bold and committed enough to do the research to determine if any of them appeared in other Batman comic books of the period.

Looks like it was Ballistic. He helps Azbats fight a gang full of members of a former punk band in the middle of Azbats search for Abattoir, which eventually leads to him going over the edge.
