A sketch for my bff @fffrost ^_^ love ya bro

[dccomicsbracket]

Motivations:

Tara Markov (Terra), Grant Emerson (Damage), & Bart Allen (Impulse)

They had an interesting dynamic and I am curious if reboot Terra now has the memories of both Terra I and Terra II. They were fun in New Titans. I kinda want to see them back together again.

Stephanie Brown (Batgirl), Cassandra Cain (Batgirl), & Sin Lance

WHO IS DAMAGE?

damage, aka grant emerson, was created by bill kaplan, tom joyner, and bill marimon and first appeared in his self-titled 1994 series. he has been part of two incarnations of the titans, as well as the justice society of america. he is related to al pratt, the first atom; due to his unique heritage and genetics, grant possesses metahuman abilities that allow him to absorb and build up energy which he can use in various ways - most famously exploding like a bomb (hence the name).

WHAT IS THIS?

this is a catalogue of every single one of grant's comic appearances, organised chronologically and categorised by what i would consider 'essential' damage reading. grant is one of my favourite characters in dc, so hopefully this can help anyone who's interested in getting to know him!

Finished Zero Hour.

That was the cheapest, stupidest way to get rid of the Team Titans they possibly could have thought up, and it didn’t even explain anything. Just have your villain go, “Yeah, lol, this plot was stupid right? So stupid. It’s over now, don’t worry. They’re gone.”

And then you keep Mirage?!?!?

As controversial as it was, I think the Parallax thing was pretty well executed? Like, Hal didn’t turn evil, he just turned into one of those “the ends justify the means, and my ends are saving literally every life that ever was or could be, so any means are acceptable!” villains. That’s one of the best ways you can do a fallen hero heel-turn, and they made it very believable with everything he’s gone through recently. Maybe if I was keeping up with him between Death & Return of Superman and this arc, it would’ve felt more jarring, but… I dunno, it worked for me. I’m glad we got the full emotional spectrum out of it, but I don’t think the eventual “actually, he was possessed” retcon was needed.

Somebody please give my boy Grant a hug, he’s had his powers for less than 48hrs, his parents fucking died this morning, people were yelling & accusing him of being a villain right up to 5min before he got snatched out of the timeline, and now he’s watching his heroes die in front of him.

Nobody even says, “Hey, good job kid,” to him afterwards! They just all ignore him and move on with things, which yes, I get that they all have a lot on their plates, but there is a teenage boy who just saved all your asses and was clearly upset during the actual fight, and it would probably do him a world of good to have, say, Superman pat him on the shoulder and say, “Thanks.” Does anyone want to give 2 seconds of positive attention to the literal child? No? Okay…

Grant Emerson, aka Damage, leaves the Titans and takes the first step to finding out who his real family is in Damage #8 from late 1994! Anyone reading this remember what he ended up finding out?

[mx-heinous]

De-aged Bruce, bored and wants to start shit: Hey, Tim, was it? I noticed that you kinda look and act like a mini-me. Are you one of my bio kids?

Tim: Nope, I'm actually Janet and Jack Drake's son

Bruce: And? Doesn't refute my statement

Tim: What? Bruce, that's impossible. It's not like you–

Tim, realizes what Bruce was implying: Son of a bitch, you didn't

Bruce: *smirks*

Tim: Seriously?! My mom?!

Bruce: Your dad's a good kisser, too, by the way

Tim: *gags* I did not need to know this

Batkids: *wheezing in the background*

Tim: Why, why are you telling me this?!

Bruce: *goes closer* Because it hurts you

So, here’s a quick new sketch of one of my own personal DC Comics OC character named Dr. Carolina Avery (a.k.a. “Doc Damage”) which features her playfully flexing and posing that i drew just recently. So, I hope that you all like this and enjoy.

[dccomicsbracket]

Motivations:

Tara Markov (Terra)

One of the biggest victims of misogyny in DC. She has so much potential as a character that is rarely utilized and I think DC could do with more of her. She loves her brother and he loves her. She has so much trauma that could be better explored with nuance if DC was better.

Grant Emerson (Damage)

I love him so much, he makes me cry.

[house-on-sand]

running, heart thudding. exertion? or fear? "i might lose control! i might hurt you!" the emerson system is a hollow shell. no help there. no sense remains. "DON'T COME NEAR ME!" no rules apply. there are no rules for this. "no one can come near me! ever again!"

Okay you can’t tell me that Vlad doesn’t have an organ somewhere in his mansion. Upon learning of this, Danny would teach himself how to play the Haunted Mansion theme on the organ and play it at 2am.

Vlad Masters is away on business in Gotham, and the Fentons are coincidentally there for a symposium on ecto-activity. So it’s perfect! Except he goes to the wrong house, er mansion.

Honestly, Danny thought it was one of Vlad’s many mansions. Scaring the old man is his favorite activity after all. There’s a higher amount of ectoplasm here, so it has to be Vlad’s place right?

When Bruce comes out (on one of his few nights off) and sees his carbon copy playing the organ, all thoughts fly out of his head. Danny finally looks up and also blue screens. They stare at each other for what feels like an eternity until Danny’s cell phone rings (the ghostbusters theme??) and he panics. He jumps up and makes a break for the other door rushing through apologies “SorryWronghousegottagobye!” And runs out of the room. “Wait! Who are you?”Bruce exclaims as he rushes after him. They’re on the second story in one of the rooms he rarely uses. How did he know where the organ was? No matter. He’ll catch the kid on the stairs.

Except the kid is already almost at the bottom. How did he get down so effortlessly? The kid practically floated down the stairs.

Bruce gets to the foyer just in time to see the kid realize the door was dead-bolted in multiple spots. He won’t be able to undo them all before Bruce catches up to him.

He slows down and stands behind a pillar, assessing his next move. He needs to be careful here. This is a child after all, no need to spook him any more than he already has. He needs to slowly approach, and ask his questions.

But then the kid does the unexpected. After looking around frantically, he takes a deep breath. Two rings form around his middle and travel up and down his body. His black hair turns ghostly white. He looks back, almost directly at Bruce. His eyes widen as if he realizes he’s being watched. He whispers, barely loud enough to hear, “I’m so sorry, please don’t follow me.” Then, he backs through the locked door and vanishes.

"Where in the infinite-" Danny rubbed his head slowly, feeling as if he got hit by multiple trains one after the other. Which... Okay yea considering who he was punched by that was probably the equivalent.

Note to self, when sparring with the Ghost King probably don't tell him to punch you so hard you would feel it next week.

Actually. Wait.

Danny touched the spot where he was punched, tentatively.

It didn't hurt.

Okay so maybe it was being punched through dimensions that hurt so much.

Noted.

Okay, now where-

"Excuse me, mister?" Danny whipped his head around so fast that if he didn't have his ghostly powers he would have probably snapped it. "Are you a fairy?"

Okay- Okay that's a child-

One who looks like he's been crying. A lot.

"Uh, what-" It took a second for Danny to actually register the question, but his mouth went off before it finished actually. "Oh, me? Huh, yea I'm a fairy. Totally. Don't tell anyone else though-"

"Woah..." The kid's eyes sparkled which, okay yea Danny preferred this over the dull ones he had seen a moment prior even though he only just met this kid-

===

An entire week later, Bruce Wayne bore witness to his new fairy friend kneeling over in pain as if he just took the hardest punch in his life.

Safe to say, he was not amused. So not amused, that he broke his promise to not show Phantom to anyone else because he was under the assumption his new friend was dying.

Safe to say, Alfred was, also, not exactly amused.

Taken » Grant Emerson alias Damage

Grant ist der biologische Sohn des Helden Al Pratt dem Golden Age Atom. Leider hat er seinen wahren Vater nie kennengelernt. Denn seine Geburt war nicht ganz natürlich verlaufen. Als er noch im Bauch seiner Mutter war, wurde diese entführt und an dem ungeborenen Baby wurden Experimente durchzogen die ihm besondere Fähigkeiten geben sollte. Nachdem er zur Welt kam wurde seine Mutter getötet und er wurde von zwei Wissenschaftlern seiner Entführer adoptiert und dachte Jahre lang er wäre ihr wahrer Sohn während sie ihn nur erforscht haben. Seine Kräfte machten sich während seiner High School Zeit bemerkbar und in einem Kampf mit einem Superschurken halfen sie ihm zu überleben. Leider verlor er dabei die Kontrolle und sprengte seine Schule in die Luft. Nur wenig später erfuhr er von seiner Herkunft und musste fliehen. Zum Glück musste er nicht ewig auf der Flucht bleiben da er einige Zeit später von der JSA gefunden wurde und sie ihn aufnahm.
