Given how often people just accidentally get superpowers in the DCU, I'd be fine with any explanation really. one of my favourite comic moments ever is still, when Jaime Reyes explains away his year absence from school (due to being in space) by him just waking up in a a field with no memory after the events of Infinite Crisis, and nobody questions it because the same insane poo poo just happens all the time and in fact that exact thing happened to some kid one town over.

This reminds me of my favourite thing I realised when I decided to read through some of Claremont's old X Men stuff, is that most of the people the X Men know who aren't mutants are also some bizarre comic book thing like a sorceress, or a secret alien or a clone or a ninja or something. I love the idea that comic book worlds are just chock full of this kind of poo poo everywhere. Going to any random school, there's probably at least one kid in the football team who is part cyborg because of a childhood car crash and some student teacher who had a freak accident involving a radioactive puppy and has very minor looking cute and chewing on furniture powers and it's just an accepted part of life like having a speech impediment or something.

Part of the problem with the Mangaverse thing specifically is that it all seemed to be done by people who had only the most basic surface-level understanding of what anime even is and the designs often reflected that. Like, how do you make a mangaverse ghost rider without making him Skull Mask Rider or something.

Wonder Woman's costume has always been loving awful and we're probably never gonna escape it because it's too ingrained these days. I mean you still have people who want Batman to wear blue and grey despite him being in black for the entire holocene.

I mean, if we're being all subjective about it every bit of American food I've had is garbage, but that probably because it's mostly lovely fast food that we get here. Though I've tried American cheese and Chocolate too and those were both loving awful, when I visited America we mostly ate stuff like steak and lobster and other fancy foods, or like Chinese food and such.

The Chinese food in America is pretty good, I seem to remember, though we couldn't find a decent curry or any kind of Indian food at all in the US, that alone makes it bottom of the barrel in the world stakes all on it's own if you ask me. We also couldn't really find a chippy, but I hesitate to refer to chippy food as good in any real sense of the world.

Oh yeah, the Five Guys in Glasgow is pretty divisive. A lot of people say it's amazing, but I thought it was kinda lovely, and I know a few other people who say the same. Like, If I wanted a poo poo burger I'd go to a Wetherspoons or something and it would only cost half as much.

Especially when there's just something about a Brit's casual use of "oval office" that for some reason I find hysterical.

Eh, that's a localised thing here I think. Like, back home in Glasgow I'd lay down c-word after c-word without batting an eye, and the first person I remember ever saying it was my sweet old grandmother, but where I am now, occasionally people look at you funny for it.

I mean, I think Hal could just use his GL ring to make green fire or something to heat the colourless air until batman can't stand the heat and then just punch him but Hal's never been the most creative GL so aside from the cool psychological effect Bats could've just put on a yellow hat or something.

Not use it, but wield it effectively in combat. Something about how the blade is weightless (or incredibly heavy, depending on your source, because Star Wars). You can't twirl something around like that if there's no weight to add momentum or what have you.


That always seemed really dumb to me. All that means is that the training for it is different from, like, a sword. People can learn to use crazy poo poo like a whip or a kusarigama without cutting their own nads off.

Make her the star of a new version of Brave and Bold, where she gets a new partner every issue, ones that don't play by the rules and are turning this city into a warzone!
