What do you guys think about our bios? Hopefully we'll have a GL bio and Aquaman bio up soon.

I like the origins a lot. It's not too far out there from the original origins that it won't isolate fans.
That being said... I would like to turn things around a bit. As for Superman, I would have said that Kal-El had an identical twin brother, Kel-El, who was sent to Earth as well. However, they were sent in 2 different pods because of the fear of thier ships not making it our of Kyrpton in time. Kel-El's ship, however, wasn't 100% when it came to Earth & didn't land anywhere near the Kent farm. So his story is different. His ship was messed up when Krypton exploded so the Krytonite affected him differently. He was found dead just outside of Metropolis by the scientists @ LuthorCorps. He was eventually revived but was physically & mentally retarded. This will open it up that he grows up to become Bizarro years after Superman dons the cape & tights.

but then that's a change simply for change's sake, some changes are needed to keep things interesting so it's not just the same old stuff...that's something that does bug me about marvel's line...they just think of things to make them drastically different from the normal marvel U....some of their changes aren't even interesting...like what they did with carnage...or ben reilly....sorry about the tangient....but with my stories i write, i'm keeping them kinda classic...but changes where changes are needed.....not just change for change's sake

That's why I like them. You've kept the essence of the characters without changing things for the heck of it.
But you haven't pulled an USM either by keeping it almost EXACTLY the same, which rocks.

well, it won't be exactly the same....certain characters have changed.....the star characters are essentually the same (with just a few minor tweeks), but some villains, or supporting characters have changed, but trust me, when their is a drastic change done, it's for the story and not something like "how can we make mr. sinister different?"

Can I write up my version of a couple of the Secret Files and Origins for the characters? I saw this a while ago and wanted to write for it, but had no ideas at the time. If you like what I do with the Bios, I'd like to see what else I can do to help out.

well, SB, right now our main titles (Superman,. Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman) all have permanent writers, and since we just started these writers probably won't change at the moment...BUT there is our Unlimited Legends title, which like I've said before is for rotating writers and rotating characters. If you're interested in writing for the Legends series then think of a character you'd like to write (excluding the six with monthly titles, as well as Captain Marvel, Zauriel, Green Arrow, Hawkman, the JSA, and Mr. Miracle (because those all have scheduled appearances in Unlimited)) and write up a bio of the character and what you'd have planned for the character (or it could be a team as well) and PM it to me.
Also, if you want, you could write a story that is not a part of the Legends line of fan fics, like the two I have below the Legends section (Hyperteam and Young Justice). These sections are for ANY member who has a fan fic to post. It could be elseworlds or fit within normal DC continuity. It could be a one-shot, a miniseries, or even an ongoing. If you're interested in doing something in this section (not just superboy650, but anyone) PM me and tell me...then I'll create the section and set up a schedule for when it'll come out....

are these stories going to be in fan-fic style, or actual comic style or what?

I know that your doing unlimited legends to have rotating writers and villains but I, and I dont know about anyone else, think that maybe somthing like an evil unlimited legends would be a great idea.Showing different villain by themselves for every story.
Especially with Lex Luther,Joker, and the riddler.

well, there could be a few arcs in Unlimited which focus solely on villains. the arcs do not have to be hero centric. if someone has a story idea which focuses on a villain or a group of villains, then we discuss it and find which arc it will appear in and all that. the stories don't have to be hero centric...although i would not want a secret societ of super villains story just yet. i just feel that somethning like that is a bit too soon....but most other things..sure...pitch me the ideas...

I think that they are great- really interesting. I hope that DC checks this site out, and offers you jobs.

Minor nitpick with Batman's. Wasn't it Henri Ducard, not Duncard? (Or did you opt to change the name for your continuity?)
Actually, his origin seems virtually identical. (Not a criticism, just an observation!)
