Okay the main reason that you should read Infinity Inc. Do you like cute college students who are fun together? Do you like found family? Do you like your favorite characters being friends forever and nothing bad happening to them at all? 

Well TOO BAD! If you read Infinity Inc. your favorite character has a 92% chance of either dying or going evil! You will love these stupid children and you will be so upset that DC refuses to have an actual full Infinity Inc. Reunion and instead decides that every few years former members should attempt to murder each other. 

For characters you have: Boy with daddy issues, other boy with daddy issues, gay angry boy with daddy issues, (unfortunately not canon gay yet) boy with EVIL daddy issues, and 7’6” himbo. It’s just... daddy issues all the way down. Also sexist 1940s man who is incredibly annoying. Jennifer-Lynn Hayden, or Jade, who you should all know, and frankly I think if your only exposure to Jen is Kyle Green Lantern you should be OBLIGATED to read Infinity Inc. I have seen some awful stuff flung around about her by Kyle fans. “Jade is only important to comics to tie Kyle to Alan and since she can’t do that properly she might as well stay dead” and that’s just what I’m willing to quote. 

Read Jennie-Lynn RIGHT NOW to properly appreciate her or learn to keep her name out of your mouth. I say while shipping her other ex with her dad and her brother. 

Lyta Trevor who has been through so much and deserves so much more than being hated because of Sandman, you do not know Lyta and you have not read her struggles, how dare you, I am assigning you the homework of Read Infinity Inc. or shut up. 

Okay that is the big sexisms it’s time to get to the big homophobias, or both. Hey remember how the mini series that Beth and Yolanda were killed off in either heavily implied that they were dating or ramped up the sexual tension so much that it seems that they are. I think you should read Infinity Inc. and join me in demanding that Geoff Johns brings back that relationship. Yeah it would be cute. 

Read Infinity Inc. now to fall in love with the cutest college age idiots you’ve ever read, ship a ship that is definitely considered problematic now (it’s Hank and Todd I don’t mean problematic problematic I mean, my god people are weird about non-canon gay ships involving canon gay characters, they just have a ridiculous amount of UST and you have to understand Hank was absolutely in love with both twins you have to you have to), be destroyed by the only death in the main series as you learn to care about them all, and also read further in the main characters lives and see the horrible shit they all but especially Hank gets subjected to... 

I forgot someone...

MOST IMPORTANTLY 

Infinity Inc. is the origin of this meme!

For the person who asked about Norwegian superheroes, I know the Dr. Mid-Nite here in Portsmouth is an immigrant from Norway. (I know this because when he saved my great aunt, another Norwegian immigrant, her concussion was making it difficult for her to remember English and it turned out they spoke the same dialect. Tante Inge has now passed on peacefully, but she always bragged about our hometown hero being from her country)

(Image of Doctor Midnite II, standing on the edge of a church at the center of Portsmouth City, OR which seems to be a central spot for his patrols) Correct! And what a wonderful story to share with us! Yes, the second Doctor Midnite is well known to be Norwegian, either a immigrant or simply a descendant. Of course no one knows his specific background due to his secret identity but his accent has been identified I'm told as being from the Vestland region.

I didn't bring him up during my discussion of Norwegian heroes because he doesn't fit the criteria I assumed the ask was made in. He doesn't operate IN Norway for the most part and his personal background is opaque so I can't and won't make any judgements as to the "intensity" of his Norwegian identity.

Portsmouth City is actually known for its rather large and robust Norwegian population, especially for a city so far west of the northern midwest where most Nordic Americans settled. It's also one of the pieces of general evidence given that he and the original Dr. Midnite, Charles McNider was American born and, more to the point, never married.

Oh no, no, no Lex. Forget the Superman family. Doctor Midnite is coming out of retirement to break you in half for stealing his gimmick Action Comics 286

He killed my team in seconds, but this time it’s different. I’m not supposed to be here, so I don’t think he can “see” what I’m going to do... and I think he’s gone after Doctor Fate first because he can’t see what you’re going to do either, thanks to your helmet.

can't even imagine how health and medicine work in the dc universe. gotham has freaks with poison gas or whatever but metropolis students have an entire class dedicated to space radiation because lex luthor got cancer from prolonged exposure to a glowing green death rock. washington dc has an atlantean embassy and the staff have to be briefed like "just dunk them in salt water" because all their illnesses can be fixed once marinated like pickles. darkseid invades and the epidimologists submit their hundrenth paper into what alien viruses apokolips parademons have contaminated the planet with. tip of the iceberg potential here.

This is one of my favorite JSA images. Huntress looks great!

Doc Midnite I could KISS you. A doctor in a superhero universe looking at an ill ally with mystical connections and saying, "You know what, it might just be magic." That is WAY rarer than it ought to be.
