This is for a DC Comics fan fiction project I’ve been working on, and I think this is my fifth attempt at designing (or redesigning) the most recognizable symbol in the world. I’m obviously having some trouble settling on a design, so I thought I’d see what other people think.
I heard that she learnt Karate from Mongo Krebs. Did it make her a skilled fighter apart from being a powerhouse ?
I'm working on some artwork and, let's call it 'in-house lore' for a DC Comics fan fiction project that I'm calling the 'OuterVerse'. Lately I've been focusing my efforts on stuff related to Sperman/Supergirl, and right now I'm trying to hash out all of the different types of kryptonite, i.e.; what types of kryptonite are going to be used in the stories, what will those types of kryptonite actually look like, what will the effects be, etc.
Anyway, I'm hardly an expert in in different types of ores, minerals, crystals, etc. but I follow an account on Twitter (I refuse to call it 'X') called 'Geology Tweets'. A while back, they tweeted an image of an aquamarine crystal cluster and I thought it was interesting that the structure is very 'blocky'-- for lack of a better way to describe it, it's very 'orderly', almost. I really like the idea of the type of kryptonite that affects Bizarro the same way green kryptonite affects regular Kryptonians having a very 'ordered' look to it, so I've been looking for more examples for minerals and crystals with a similar blocky structure and I found this image of pyrite on Wikipedia that I'm probably going to use as one of my reference images when I create the artwork. I'm on the fence about it having the metallic look, though.
Anyway, I've been thinking about the effects of the different types of kryptonite, and I like the idea of blue kryptonite actually being beneficial to Kryptonians. Hear me out on this... So, although the effects of red kryptonite were all over the place when it was first introduced in comics, it seems to me that a lot of the more recent portrayals go with the idea of red kryptonite more or less 'turning' Kryptonians 'evil'... That's kinda what it did in the Smallville TV show, that's kinda what it did in the CW Supergirl TV show... I mean, if you really want to split hairs and get really technical, in Smallville red K would cause Clark to give in to his 'darker side', but those emotions were already there. So red K wasn't really 'turning him evil', per se, it was just bringing to the surface the emotions that he normally buries. Still, it caused him to act in a way that was angrier, and more violent and aggressive.
I really like that idea, because it's right in line with the Red Lanterns CORPS. I know some people won't necessarily be onboard with color coding everything in the DC universe, but I kinda like it.
So, with that in mind, what if blue kryptonite was very beneficial to regular Kryptonians? What if it could enhance the powers of Kryptonians, protect them against magic, and/or negate the effects of other types of kryptonite? In addition, it would also be like green kryptonite for Bizaro, however green kryptonite would be exactly like blue kryptonite for Bizaro. I like this idea, because it is rigght in line with the Blue Lantern CORPS.
Thoughts? Would this version of blue kryptonite make the Superman, Supergirl, and Power Girl of this universe too OP?
Has anyone read this series? It’s Peter David’s creator-owned series that began at DC and later moved to IDW.
When it began, there was a lot of speculation that the main character Lee was actually Linda. Later, he introduced a character named Lin who he confirmed was essentially Linda for all intents and purposes but couldn’t use her because the book was at IDW by this time.
What are your thoughts? How does Lin compare to the Linda Danvers we saw in Reign in Hell? I think that was Linda’s only appearance after her series ended.
