Re: Jab’s Builds! (Metamorpho! Etrigan! Animal Man! Elongated Man!)

I have a theory that the Elongated Man is the litmus test for whether your version of the DC Universe will succeed. If you can gracefully accomodate Ralph Dibney, the World Famous Elongated Man, your version will thrive. While the Arrowverse seems to be on its last legs now, it did well while Ralph...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (J’onn J’onzz! Fire & Ice! Black Canary!)

I always wondered what sort of powers Manitou Raven and Manitou Dawn had, since I'd only seen them mentioned online and not read the books they were in. Giant-growth is an interesting magical 'spell', and while the Spectre occasionally grew to giant size to tower over battleships during WW2, it's ce...

Re: The most petty thing you'd do as a comics creator

They went with a variation of this in Gladiator's backstory. The idea is that his people have the "Gladiator process" that they can undergo, which takes them from a race of medium-level flying bricks to Superman-class powerhouses. He was part of a group selected to be the first representa...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Dr. Light! Martian Manhunter! Vibe! Gypsy! Fire!)

As the Green Fury, Beatriz controlled a mystical flame that could burn hot or cold, change her clothing to her costume, or create illusions (and allowed her to fly by shooting out her nose? Yikes.). That kind of intrigued me, such a diverse powerset, and not at all the 'green Human Torch expy' she l...

Re: Rocket Red #4

ROCKET RED #4 (Dmitri Pushkin) I always liked the idea of the Rockets Red, but never really grokked how much of their power was inherent, due to this 'forced evolution,' and thought of them as mostly armored-battlesuit-dudes with a smidge of boosted strength (more like Marvel's Titanium Man or Crim...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Quality Comics! The Crusaders! Young All-Stars!)

I never got to read any stories with Kuei, Phantasmo, Fireball, etc. who seemed pretty original. I am not surprised that they never took off, but I;m gonna have to go haunt the backissue racks at the comic book shop to see if there are any old issues with them in the bins.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Quality Comics! The Crusaders! Young All-Stars!)

I liked the Young All-Stars, except for Neptune Perkins... Iron Monroe was probably my favorite because he was kind of a schmuck, like 'Kid Nova' over in the early years of New Warriors. Having some super-heroes like that, or Booster Gold, who weren't exactly Captain America levels of righteous and ...

Re: Plant Embodiment - PL 10

I'm still lurking, if not commenting much. I noticed this person Plant Embodiment - PL 10 has both of these powers, under different containers, one under Plant Control, the other under Plant Form. Was this intended, or just a holdover from a previous draft where you hadn't decided which way to go wi...

Re: Martial Artist Duplicator - PL 7

Here I break my "no comments" rule. Each of his two duplicates use the same sheet, minus his Summon Triplets power. Unlike the others, he's technically not PL 10, but apparently 3 cooperating PL 7s (or two 8s) equal a 10 to Green Ronin and/or Steve Kenson, so I'm not going to comment furt...

Oh wow, this is an amazing plot seed character to build a scenario around! Plus the implications of additional books related to other zodiac signs, like the Great Scorpion and Balanced Scales, sounds intriguing, too!
