Next up is Owen Mercer aka Boomerang Jr, son of Captain Boomerang and the speedster of the TrWh Outlaw team! Get ready for another long post you guys, god my hands are hurting this week arrughhh.

Owen's a fun character to draw and has a fun personality in general. He's more angsty and dark in the comics but since Digger finds out about him early on, Owen's much more happy in this au. Digger and Owen have a fantastic father-son relationship and Owen really looks up to him. Digger is so happy he found Owen but is kinda frantic on how to raise him, being a villain isn't the best job for a dad. Not sure what age Digger discovers him, maybe 10 or so?

That mini version of Digger's outfit is what Owen would've worn if he was discovered even younger (he's 4-6 in that doodle), preteen Owen would've found that outfit a bit too silly for his tastes tho.

Honestly I'm not sure if Owen even lives with him, since Digger is a rogue and probably in jail more often than not, Owen might still be in foster care. I don't remember if Owen was shown to be adopted in the comics, he was already shown to be an adult. Btw, concerning Owen's age*, I'm slightly lowering his age to better fit with Jason's age group (he's 12 to Jason's 10). He, along with Jack Moore, are the oldest of the team, too bad Owen doesn't care about acting his age!

While Owen loves hanging out with his father, he also likes to hang out with the Flash aka Barry Allen. Barry has been mentoring Owen on and off (much to Wally's dismay) and has been slowly pushing him towards heroism. He's knows Owen's got a good heart and see's that he has the potential to access the speedforce. Owen's a character that's caught between two worlds, rogue and hero. Does he want to follow in his father's footsteps or go follow Barry?

What a conundrum, but this is a problem he had in the comics. His struggle to figure what to do with his life. Actually, I think I heard somewhere he was actually created with the intent to replace Wally as the Flash but they dropped that plot point, leaving him adrift in the comics. Let me know if that's wrong tho!

Captain Cold aka Leonard Snart isn't helping matters as you can see in that vague threat up there, I'd like to better define that relationship between those two but I'd need to read more comics with Leonard to do that.

Here I have Owen with some of his friends and his dad. I said in my last post with Rankorr, that he and Owen's friendship is a nod towards the famous Green Lantern/Flash partnership. Owen's always trying to get Jack to loosen up and have fun, Jack sometimes finds this annoying but is slowly letting Owen in his life. You can see up there Owen giving Jason a ride someplace, bet Jason wishes he took the bus lol.

You can see Owen gushing over Para Dice, his canonical girlfriend from Rebirth. Owen at some point meets her in Australia and has an instant crush on her. Para is a rather mysterious girl, but has taken a liken to Owen as well. Still too young for a proper romance tho, plus Owen would need to sharpen up his speed skills if he wants to make this LDR work.

There's Digger training Owen in the art of the boomerang, rogue or hero, any son of Cap. Boomerang will be a learn to toss a good boomerang!

Another drawing of these two, aren't they adorable?

Here's Owen bother poor Lisa Snart aka Golden Glider. Owen can be a little insensitive, tho he's never actually malicious in intent (usually). Always thought it was weird that Lisa was considered a candidate for Owen's mother, she didn't seem old enough for that (Owen was like early twenties). Anyways Lisa thinks he's an annoying little twerp...

...and not the only one. Here's Owen bothering poor Jesse. Also you can see I messed up on her shirt design, wasn't really thinking about what I was drawing I guess. I do that sometimes lol.

On the nature of Owen's and Jason's relationship, they seem to quite like each other. Neither of them had many friends before the team, and find easy camaraderie in having simple boyish fun together, which is something they kinda needed in life. You'll sometimes see them making complex plans for the next prank (Lori is invited as well).

In team dynamics, Jason can find Owen tendency to not take fights seriously kinda annoying. While Owen can sometimes disregard Jason's leadership (should Jason be leader that day I mean) due to him being younger. Friction isn't common between them though, perhaps because they got a lot in common.

From being caught between opposing morality, difficulty in finding a niche in the DC comics, even in trying to discover who their mothers are. Its can be validating to know people who understand what your going through.

Little more focus on Owen's relations, I said that Barry has been trying to steer Owen towards good but I also think that Barry just thinks that Owen is just a fun little guy in general. I'd think they get along pretty well, Wally looks so pissed tho. There was this one comic where Hal had Wally as a sidekick for a day and Barry was pretty jealous. Guess the reverse is happening here. Wally's a favored target for Owen's pranks, so this whole situation is just very annoying to him.

Here's Digger introducing Owen to the rogues, Leonard looks befuddled at all this (Digger got a girl preggo? crazy).

Wanted to have Digger and Owen watch cartoons together, so I looked up Australian cartoons, found something called Bluey. Apparently it's super popular, even adults like it. So I found some free cartoons on youtube and yeah. It really is that good. Look it up if you want to see some fun, relaxing cartoons with smart writing!

To finish off this mass of words, here's Owen being a goofball with Eddie and Jason. I'm slowly finding that Owen's got a pretty fun dynamic with most anyone I draw him with. So that's been fun.

All this and I still haven't gone into Meloni and Bart, but it's best if I leave that for later. Anyways, hoped you like all that!

*About Owen's age, the comics never specified what his age actually was. All I know he's in his twenties but still younger than Dick's age group. Young enough to be unsure of his place in the world, but old enough that his 'relationship' with Kara to be weird. I guess it'd be less weird in my au with a smaller age gap, but that's still not happening.

[miss-bunny-penny]

here are my pitches for MST3K Fortnite collaboration because I've been watching the show a ton recently... there's some fun pictures so check it out if you want...

there's three bundles total with four skins, and fair warning for fans it does bias early seasons

JOEL ROBINSON

obviously the first bundle concerns Joel. his description in game would be "Just another face in a red jumpsuit."

Default style: Gizmonic red jumpsuit. obviously.

Second style: Blue jumpsuit. he used it sometimes too and it would be really easy to implement in game. I'm sure some megafan would pull out a deep cut reference to some skit or invention exchange here. maybe give him a biiiig head, biiiig head style too. that's my suggestion

back bling: Croooooow! ingame description: "Wisecracker." you gotta have Crow! make it reactive, maybe he laughs or makes a quip when you get a kill, and have him constantly glancing around and it would be quite the cool back bling in my opinion

pickaxe: GPC! here we're having Joel go around whacking people with GPC's floppy severed head and neck, shrunken to fit Fortnite pickaxe standards. it's a bit morbid but hey I still think it would make for a funny looking pickaxe that kinda makes sense considering the shape of the character

SECOND BUNDLE!!

Mike

yep if you haven't guessed, my proposed second bundle is Mike Nelson, the second host of MST3K. really he was around for pretty much the whole show anyway but he's the stepriffer who stepped up. am I making this weird? his ingame description reads: "His bosses didn't like him so they shot him into space." I don't care if the lyrics changed for him

default style: here we're going with a nice blue for Mike's trademark look in my mind

second style: and for the second style we've of course got the grey that he also wore. the next style is where I have fun

third style: that's right, it's Jack Perkins. this is probably my favorite character Mike played on the show before becoming the host, and it's just really funny to me to imagine this being in fortnite

back bling: Tom Servo! you probably saw this coming. just like Crow, perhaps he quips when you get a kill or does that dance thing where his head pops up. either way he's always moving his head and gazing around while hanging around there on your back. description: "They tried to kill me with a forklift! Olé!"

pickaxe: something turkey related. I'm not creative so just go with me here. turkey day was a big part of MST3K and turkey = bad film, AND Fortnite is the kind of game where they'd go too literally and give Mike Nelson a rubber turkey as a pickaxe or something like that. if not a turkey then ...

pickaxe idea 2: satellite of love. just put it on a stick.

BUNDLE 3

you may be wondering what we're gonna do for my fabled last bundle with two characters. well my early season bias will show here because it's...

BOTH DR FORRESTER AND TV'S FRANK! you heard me right. both are 800 vbucks so no alt styles but they do get to be in a bundle together. you love to see it. not sure on their ingame descriptions but I'm certain they would be witty references

glider: satellite of love again. here's the satellite of love again. this time it's a glider! just attach some ugly, gaudy looking hang to it and use it as a glider. this is bundled with Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank

alright y'all if you read through this you're my true soldier and I'm blowing you a kiss. follow for more insane Fortnite fantasies
