Last night a friend of mine shared a bunch of pages from the whos who in the DC universe books and I have so many thoughts about them but cant get out anything coherent so the thing I need everyone to know is that

1. In the first version at least the charlton versions of the charlton characters had separate pages from their DC counterparts

2. They Guy Gardner’d charlton Peacemaker in a effort to explain why he was all of the sudden a weird asshole in crisis and its the funniest thing ever to me

#Also this version tried to retcon DC peacemaker's backstory to be less ableist and also make him not a war criminal anymore #and then in the next edition his desc was written by Paul Kupperberg and Kupperberg set the record straight and was like #no no he is a war criminal because hes mentally ill. that is the case dont get it twisted.#Also unfortunately both versions canonized Elizabeth Smith is dead and Im coping very well.#Also nobody agreed on where she moved them too #in the miniseries its mentioned she and Chris lived in New England and then in the first whos who with Peacemaker its #now Philadelphia and then in the second one its Baltimore. They moved around I guess.#Elizabeth died while Chris was in prison for the record which I do kind of like the angst there.#In the kupperberg desc its mentioned Chris didnt move back to America because without his mom he didnt #feel like there was any point #Also he did take over his dads weapons manufacturing company but turned it into a company that only produces like #Household Appliances which I love for him. I know he did that to piss off the ghost I know he was so smug about it
