Another solid introduction story. I'm assuming this is mainstream DCU just like your Young Justice right? Glad you brought Linda back into the mix, they kinda gave her the shaft hardcore.
Not so sure I like the whole Nightwing thing though. But we'll see where it's going. It made since for him to be there just not for him to be part of a multidimensional team. Don't get me wrong, I love Dick, but just something odd. That said I'm open to anything. Keep up the good work.

yep, it's mainstream DCU just like Young Justice. Glad you liked it. I wanted to use characters which were free, but yet ties to iconic characters (and i didn't realize it, but every character with the exception of barry has been a titan..that was totally unintentional...lol) but really, i wanted to use the big 7 format kinda, with characters that were available (except nightwing, but he's an exception) so i chose Atom, who, while not a big 7 member, he has been in the big leagues with the JLA plenty so he can qualify. then there's Argent, this is a character i like and she's free so i stuck her in my team, but she also kinda fits the big 7 mold, while not connected to any GLs, she does have a similar power, it's just internal and silver. Next we have Kid Flash, who is a representative of the Flash family (i was originally gonna cut out Bart even though he was a fave of mine because I was gonna have Barry but I'll explain why I didn't when I get to Barry). Then we come to Linda, a.k.a., Supergirl, who basically vanished after her series ended so she was free, plus she is the one character who has a real reason for wanting to travel through hypertime, which some might be able to guess, but i'm not telling...lol. Which brings us to the character you have reservations about, Nightwing. He really was the one character that I agree, doesn't fit, but I wanted a Batman representative of the big 7, and while he does have his own comic, he is the only one that i feel could fit with this team, as an unquestioned leader. tim is a leader and a very good one at that, but i don't think the adults would be comfortable following orders from a 16 year old, plus he has more of a life away from the cape. Batgirl...i don't see her adding anything. Huntress, possibly...but I can't see it. Batman himself...well, he's certainly not an available character...lol that brings me to Barry. i thought, this is hypertime here, so why not make one of our members from a different hypertimeline...so i thought....a dead character...big name dead character and chose barry. then i had two flash reps...so i was gonna cut bart...BUT then i thought I'd miss the interaction between bart and his grandad that he never knew...i couldn't do that, so i kept him...i'm hoping you like what I do with this. It doesn't have a set ending, but it does have an ending in my head...just not sure how many different realities we'll see until then....also...pay attention to deathstroke....  |

This was great fun! And as far as Nightwing not belonging... when was the last time Nightwing seemed to belong in his own book? That hasn't been Nightwing for some time now, so I say "Use him"! I never read the Supergirl series, so i thought that Linda simply died or something. Argent... Don't know much about her, I actually couldn't stand that Titans series. So I look forward to learning more about her. Second time (to me, at least) you've mentioned keeping an eye on Deathstroke. What are ya gonna do to my favorite DC cyclops??? P.S. There I finally read it, now get of my back man! |

naw, linda didn't die, she retired and left, not telling anyone where she went. yeah, devin grayson can't write nightwing too well. shame, cause it use to be one of my fave books. i agree, both titans series that argent was in sucked, but i've liked her characterization i've seen and stuff done with her...plus she just disappeared after graduation day. i'm not doing anything with deathstroke (ie, changing him). this deathsatroke is just more than he seems.... |
