Re: Jab’s Builds! (The Engineer! The Doctor! Gen-13! Fairchild!)

Another example of how much the comic book world cared about Fairchild vs. how much it cared about the rest of the team is that the default UN superhero team in the freedomverse has a member who is exactly Caitlin Fairchild, but grown up, and I have not seen a single reference to anyone or anything ...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Hawksmoor! The Engineer! The Doctor! Gen-13!)

The most interesting thing about Bobby is that he had a completely different design in the initial miniseries.

Re: Gen-13

The characters were then folded into the mainstream DC Universe following Flashpoint , with Fairchild popping up on The Ravagers . I'm not completely positive, but I believe Fairchild was the only member of the team to be introduced in the DC universe. At the time it seemed like an odd decision, bu...

Re: NetherWar: Master of Earth (IC)

Catalyst HP: 1 Undeterred by the roar, Catalyst crosses her arms in front of her face. The spinning knife hits the green aura surrounding her body and breaks apart, instead of stabbing through her forearm as it otherwise would. The impact pushes her back an inch or two and stings mildly, but nothin...

Re: NetherWar: Master of Earth (OOC)

BTW, did that Fomorian with the knife make an attack roll?

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Midnighter! Jack Hawksmoor! The Engineer!)

And the moment I most remember most from The Engineer: After destroying a huge swarm of flesh eating insects, Swift laughs about her smiling. "Don't look too pleased with yourself, Engineer! Super-people have a reputation for being modest in the movies." Engineer keeps smiling and replies...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Swift! Jenny Sparks! Apollo! The Midnighter!)

I'd generally expect Manhunter and Wonder Woman together to be able to take down Superman, too.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Swift! Jenny Sparks! Apollo! The Midnighter!)

Superheroes preserving the status quo is a tricky subject. The real reason they do it is, of course, because comic publishers like the comic world to have at least a superficial resemblance to the real world. In-world stories on whether or not superheroes should change the status quo always feel dis...

Re: The Authority

The funniest part was the reaction of Authority fans. They blubbered like BABIES on some of the forums I inhabited at the time- raging "But Superman couldn't beat THE DOCTOR that way!" and bawling about how it made their favorite team look dumb and the book's writing out to be trash (hila...

Re: NetherWar: Master of Earth (IC)

Catalyst HP: 1 Catalyst looked at the crimson mist suspiciously. Spending a lot of time in that seemed like a bad idea, so she tried to fly around it as much as possible as she followed Charger into the building. "Pay attention to us when we're fighting you!" She said indignantly as she f...

Re: NetherWar: Master of Earth (IC)

Catalyst HP: 1 Oh no, he is beautiful! [/i] Reena reminded herself to focus as she hovered over the street, a green aura complementing NGM's gold one. "Hey! Weird creepy giants! Put down our benches and plants, it's RUDE!" She swung her control rod, and a dot of green light the size of a ...
