battinson is great because he's so sad and autistic but can you imagine how great superbattinson would be??? clark would take one look at him and decide its his mission to take care of this absolute loser. bruce begrudging letting himself fall in love. bruce "i dont need help" wayne and clark "yes bitch you do" kent AUGHHHHH i am so unwell.

idk,,,,, just they would be so sweet and loving in the little ways i feel. theyd definitely argue a lot but like thats just par for the course with superbat tbh

favorite part about this week's my adventures with superman was how clark remembered who lois was because she stole a spaceship and willingly went into the brainiac mind control device, and who else could be so recklessly, brilliantly in love as lois lane?

second favorite part was how lois kept explaining that this was all brainiac's fault and kal-el going "...our family computer?"

one thing i like about how they did ai brainiac here is that most people would be aware that sentient beings don't want to be conquered like he wants to do to earth or brainwashed like he's been doing to kara. but brainiac isn't people. he's a machine, he is programming, there is sentience but he is not actually a person. and he clearly doesn't understand when things go against his plans, when he can't program the real world into doing what he wants. it's why he's legitimately angry that earth is trying to resist his invasion, why he's legitimately upset and disappointed that kara would rebel against him and try to be her own person. because personhood is not something that computes with him, on a fundamental level, he doesn't understand it or free will or the concept of independent choice. it's an interesting view at how "sentient ai" might actually work and also react to the things around it.

Suffering because I finally got some time to write and then I spent two hours editing the first chapter I had already posted because I reread it to get myself back in the zone and then realized that posting the first draft half a year ago to the public and then not looking at it again until now was a mistake.

The good news is I'd had plenty of time to edit the plot beforehand, I didn't have to change squat around, but boy was some of the wording awkward as fuck. Also I added a little extra to people who already seemed to like it, as a treat.

Stay tuned for chapter two of Show Me How to Lie (You're Getting Better All The Time) hopefully coming soon now that I'm done with that shit. I'm honestly pretty excited about it, I worldbuilt the entire parallel universe evil!Superman comes from myself :)

Well this is a heartbreaking realization to be had.

So Jon Kent was trapped in that alternate universe volcano for several of his childhood years. Then when he returned to his home universe, he was significantly older than when he'd left, and basically had to start acting his own age in order to prepare for his impending adulthood.

Now, who else had been cheated out of many of his childhood years by being forcibly separated from his own reality, and then was expected to mature quickly after he escaped so he could adjust to all these sudden changes in his life?

Bart Allen.

Is it common for DC characters to be members of the Avengers of for Marvel characters to be members of the Justice League in the BronzeRealms?

It's not common, no. But it has happened from time to time. The Marvel/DC distinction obviously doesn't exist in-universe, but there is a cultural divide and methodological beef between the Justice League and Avengers that has led to a lot of heroes feeling like they should "pick a side" even if they're not on either team. But no-one's getting bullied for who they do team-ups with either (at least, not much).

Let's give a few examples. I mentioned in another post that Huntress was kicked out of the Justice League for a time because she started killing again. During that time, she briefly joined the Avengers. However, she made one horrible mistake, and hooked up with Tony Stark. She had to leave before too long.

You can flirt with Tony Stark. Everyone flirts with Tony Stark! At this point he's used to being told a flat "never", just once, taking it on the chin, and still being able to sass a little afterwards. But if he actually thinks it's GOING somewhere!?! If one time out of twenty he can actually get a Yes from someone?! Doomed. Constant, insufferable torrential flirting as he pushes that Skinner Box button "sex please?" over and over waiting for the treat.

Next example. She-Hulk had a substantial, successful stint on the Justice League Dark. Nothing bad happened. She could easily jump in with them again. She gets along with half the team better than they get along with half of each other. She just has a lot else going on!

Damian Wayne and Kamala Khan are good friends and have teamed up a good handful of times. They're around the same age (Kamala a year or so older), both based in Jersey, and just... terrifyingly formidable. They dated, for a little bit, but then Kamala helped Damian accept that he's Aromantic and there's nothing wrong with that, and him not being interested in relationships isn't a sign of being socially stunted from his assassin upbringing and he shouldn't force himself through the motions of it.

Kitty Pryde joined the Birds of Prey for a little bit too. She was crushing on Barbara p. hard... And then she realized basically half the team have crushes on Barbara, and decided that wasn't healthy, so she quit the "waiting for Oracle to stop being a useless bisexual and realize she has a harem waiting" support group, and bounced out of Gotham altogether to just move on with her life.

Red Tornado was part of the original Defenders (Doctor Strange, Namor, Hulk, Silver Surfer, Valkyrie) for a time, but not very long (then again, not that much shorter than the normal tenure with that version of the team).

The Xenomorph survivor named Kara who Superman rescued from a dome city called The Rock in events-generally-similar-to the excellent comic "Superman Vs Aliens"... She isn't Supergirl, but she does exist, and she joined the Guardians of the Galaxy.

I was focusing on the hero teams for this post but the biggest examples of Marvel and DC characters being on teams together is on the villain teams. Especially Cadmus, but that really deserves its own whole post, so for now I'll leave things here.

I'll probably come up with more hero examples later, too, and maybe people here can suggest a few of their own!

EDIT:

Okay Azrael BELONGS on the Midnight Sons.

Y'all know what time it is 😏 (my adventures with superman spoilers ahead)

Hehehehe

Really? An EMT? What is he doing collecting medical roles like infinity stones? First it was a nurse now this. Damn. What next, a firefighter? I need him as a firefighter please it's not a want it's a need

I am no better than a man😔 (the shit that went thru my head when I saw this brat)

Ooooo foreshadowing maybe????

Oh so you really are Amanda's lapdog arnt ya? Doing all her dirty work for her like collecting criminals for her "team"....

This is getting interesting now. I rly liked this episode. I love Lois stealing shit and being the bitch in charge it suits her. And I love how akward Clark is it suits him. And I'm really loving silver banshee's design. She's one of my fav characters and it's going to be interesting to see what happens to her intergang and livewire. Also now I know for sure that Amanda is assembling a team and she's having Slade collect them. Superman's about to have a big problem.

[alukardtheabysswalker]

Now, if you’ve watched the episode you might be wondering:

“Hey, why didn’t you post any screenshot of THOSE scenes where Clark and Lois are undressing?”

And I uh...I’m uh...that is uhhh...Im...

February 1964. Lex Luthor learns the true origin of Brainiac: as a humanoid "computer-spy" created by the tyrannical computer rulers of a distant planet (later called Colu).

This story, which appeared in SUPERMAN #167, was a rather dramatic retcon: In his previous appearances, there was no indication that Brainiac wasn't just a green-skinned humanoid alien. His debut in ACTION COMICS #242 described his origins quite differently:

So, why would National-DC and Superman editor Mort Weisinger make such a radical change to a fairly well-established villain? The explanation lies in an editorial footnote omitted from later reprints of SUPERMAN #167:

As the letters column to which the footnote refers explains:

And now let us go behind the scenes and unveil a remarkable coincidence. The fictional character, "Brainiac," was created for us by Otto Binder, a famous science fiction writer who is currently the editor of "Space World," a magazine for rocket experts. (Otto also created "Bizarro" and wrote the great Superman novel, "Krypton Lives On." [SUPERMAN #132]) Shortly after the first "Brainiac" story first appeared in ACTION COMICS, in 1956 [sic; actually 1958], we learned that a REAL "Brainiac" existed … in the form of an ingenious "Brainiac Computer Kit" invented in 1955 by Edmund C. Berkeley. Mr. Berkeley is a distinguished scientist and a world authority on automation, computers and robots. In deference to his "Brainiac," which pre-dates ours, with this issue of SUPERMAN we are changing the characterization of our "Brainiac" so that the master-villain will henceforth possess a "computer personality." We are confident that our readers will approve of this transformation; it should make "Brainiac" a mightier adversary for the Man of Steel. Readers will be interested to learn that they can build their own "Brainiac" by purchasing one of Mr. Berkeley's computer kits and assembling the parts.

The latter paragraph also provides the address of the company, noting, "'Brainiac' kits cost less than $20.00 and make an ideal educational hobby."

This retcon stuck, and, as the editorial explanation suggested, did serve to make Brainiac a more formidable foe, although it created some discrepancies that were never adequately explained. The most important feature of the original Brainiac story in ACTION COMICS #242, of course, was Superman's discovery that the villain had previously stolen and shrunk the Kryptonian city of Kandor, which Superman recovered and brought to Earth at the end of that story. However, nothing in this revised origin suggests that shrinking cities and storing them in bottles to repopulate Brainiac's homeworld was part of Brainiac's original mission, or even a logical extension of it.

Years later, the early issues of L.E.G.I.O.N. '89 presented a post-Crisis version of how the computer uprising of Colu was finally resolved, which formed part of an even more convoluted origin of Brainiac.
