"...SHE IS PROBABLY THE MOST POPULAR MEMBER OF "Gen¹³" TO BOTH MALE AND FEMALE FANS."

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1451x1535 -- Spotlight on Caitlin Fairchild, proverbial poster child for the "Gen¹³" series of American comic books then-published by Jim Lee's imprint, WildStorm Productions, illustration published for Chicago Comic-Con 1997.

"Fairchild was named after an airplane bearing the same name and that name fits her personality to a T. She is a brainy, strong leader to her more adolescent teammates. As such, she is probably the most popular member of "Gen¹³" to both male and female fans."

-- JIM LEE, Fairchild creator, for Wildstorm Productions, c. 1996

Long before I was crushing on Black Cat, Wonder Woman, Black Widow, Red Sonja and other female comic book characters, no one does it better than my WCW, Caitlin Fairchild of Gen ¹³ rocks.

Why am I still obsessed with this character. She was popular in, what, 96?

The End

[gen13ordinaryheroes]

How would you feel about Caitlin Fairchild joining the Teen Titans or Young Justice?

Eh. Bad. I don't think Gen13 should be split up in general, but especially not Caitlin. She's definitely the least likely to join a different team on her own.

I also think Gen13 aren't superheroes, at least not in the same way that the Titans and Young Justice are. Like obviously they are called superheroes in universe, and refer to themselves as superheroes, but I think this is mostly true in terms of like... what genre conventions they tick off. They are in a separate category from teams like the Titans and YJ.

Also, Caitlin is a fair bit older than YJ, so she wouldn't really fit in there, at least not unless she was taking on some sort of mentorship role. My understanding is that this role is already taken for YJ. (Note: I'm judging ages by when Caitlin actually existed in comics, so she turned 21 in 1999/2000, depending on what you go with.)

(Yeah I'm being told by @nielsthecat that when Ray Terrill joined YJ his age kind of prevented him from meshing with the team, and he was only 18/19, which is still younger than Caitlin)

Beyond that I can't say anything more specific because I'm not really a Titans/YJ guy. She might be able to kick it with whoever the most parentified Titan is, I guess, depending on who that is.

If you mean the version of Caitlin currently kicking around Earth-0 then I well and truly don't give a fuck because she's basically unrecognizable, though I guess you run into the opposite problem of her being a little young for teen anything
