the way people treat kon & clark's relationship in fanon vs how it is in [postcrisis] canon is honestly one of the most buckwild things. bc they always pull on "well yja clark was an asshole" or something and translate that to comics canon even when theres just NO basis for it.

canon postcrisis comics: kon brags about getting to work with clark. kon tells clark about his rogues gallery. kon cries from joy when clark says he's family to him. when kon worries clark doesn't trust him, clark tells him he trusts him with his life and that he feels closest to him of any of the superfam. via a time travel thing, young clark says he would want kon to be able to look up to him almost like a father figure. clark teaches kon how to milk a cow. when superman's been poisoned and is slowly dying, kon says he'll do anything to save him. he admires clark so much!!!! a direct kon quote: "every time i see the guy, it's like looking at everything i wanna be!"

fanon, for some reason: clark is really cold and mean to kon. he wouldn't trust him around jon and he doesn't want him in his home. kon is really angsty about this and also very resentful of clark.

like. yeah. sure. right. tell me u have never touched a superfam comic without telling me.........

they may be complete opposites, but they both have FABULOUS HAIIIIRRRR

[takaraphoenix]

I... don’t know how exactly I imagined the Rogues first coming to the conclusion that they should form a team and work together against the Flash, but I genuinely didn’t expect it to be “Yeah we all have the same tailor and met in his back-room waiting for our orders to be ready”... Excellent, I have nothing to add.

Monkey King Misconception

There's a misconception about Sun Wukong that has been going around since at least 2021. It states that Monkey can transform into an even stronger version of an opponent he is facing, thereby giving himself more power and enabling him to win the battle. See the attached examples, one from Quora and two from Twitter. I think this mistaken belief is based on a misreading of Wukong's battle with Nezha in chapter 5.

During their battle, Nezha takes on a three-headed, six-armed form. Wukong responds by taking on a similar form. The battle is finally decided when Monkey creates a hair clone of himself and performs a sneak attack, thus wounding the child-god.

Young Nata grew angry. "Change!" he yelled loudly, and he changed at once into a fearsome person having three heads and six arms. In his hands he held six kinds of weapons: a monster-stabbing sword, a monster-cleaving scimitar, a monster-binding rope, a monster-taming club, an embroidered ball, and a fiery wheel. Brandishing these weapons, he mounted a frontal attack. "This little brother does know a few tricks!" said Wukong, somewhat alarmed by what he saw. "But don't be rash. Watch my magic!" Dear Great Sage! He shouted, "Change!" and he too transformed himself into a creature with three heads and six arms. One wave of the golden-hooped rod and it became three staffs, which were held with six hands (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 1, p. 155). [...] They clashed like raindrops and meteors in the air, but victory or defeat was not yet determined. Wukong, however, proved to be the one swifter of eye and hand. Right in the midst of the confusion, he plucked a piece of hair and shouted, "Change!" It changed into a copy of him, also wielding a rod in its hands and deceiving Nata. His real person leaped behind Nata and struck his left shoulder with the rod. Nata, still performing his magic, heard the rod whizzing through the air and tried desperately to dodge it. Unable to move quickly enough, he took the blow and fled in pain. Breaking off his magic and gathering up his six weapons, he returned to his camp in defeat (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 1, p. 156).

Both characters obviously have the ability to magically manipulate their bodies. Therefore, this is not the same as copying the magical skills and strength of an adversary.

Robin IQ

Did you know that Damian technically has the highest IQ out of any other Robin?

Damian has an IQ of 170. Dick and Jason are estimated to be between 140-155. Tim Drake? TIM HAS AN IQ OF 142! The smartest robin possibly has the lowest IQ! (Not including Steph and Duke) and the one who is considered as one of the most "Angry" Robins has the highest IQ.

Damian built a flying BAT-MOBILE. (Batman and Robin Vol 1) Damian once hacked into Cyborg, (In Challenge of the Super Sons) He was able to hack into the Bat-computer with only a tracking device that he found. (Robin vol 3 Annual) He also defeated an enemy that took down the entire Justice League by giving Cyborg a small stoke using Batman contingency plans (Super Sons, Poor Cyborg...) Tim has done awesome stuff too but Damian could technically be "smarter" than Tim when he grows up if DC would allow it.

MARZ Rising - Chapter 155: Behemoth

We're starting the season finale of Vol.09 now.

And also, this chapter marks THREE YEARS of this story.

FF Net

Ao3

[flashfuture]

[Last time on Kyle Rayner's relationship with sexuality] and humanity we saw Kyle Rayner's teenage assistant/friend Terry Berg brutally injured in a gay bashing. He might never wake up. Kyle caught the people who did it. But he's not settled yet. So let's finish this

Green Lantern vol 3 #155 released in 2002

This issue begins with John Stewart arriving after Kyle called him. And then Kyle leaves to go handle something.

What Kyle was doing was begging Wally to go back in time and let him save Terry. Wally said no. Kyle freaks on him about them doing it for no other reason than him being gay. Then Bruce shows up and is all "we all want one day back"

Kyle accuses Bruce of forgetting how to be a person. Because Bruce is comparing what I assume is Jason's death to Kyle about to lose his friend. But the context here isn't the same as Bruce losing a family member because the story here isn't About Terry in a narrative sense but about Kyle's perception of bigotry specifically in regards to sexuality in this case and how he feels about it.

So then Kyle goes into Space to punch rocks and Spectre Hal comes to meet him. And discusses with him what Kyle could have done the things he has done. And Kyle acknowledges how many people he's helped but he's really stuck on Terry's life as his failure. To which Spectre Hal is like bro stop punching rocks and go home good news awaits.

And Kyle is overjoyed about it. He sits down and speaks to Terry who has woken up but his memories are pretty hazy his skull was very damaged. Terry can't actually speak but write. And seeing Terry crying on the bed it just breaks Kyle in half

"I can't help these people now. I don't want to. Earth will have to get by without me."

"I know that there are millions of cultures out in the vastness of the universe that make the brutality we experience or propagate on Earth seem tame. But those cultures aren't my own. Maybe it's shame. Maybe it's anger. I can't tell you for sure."

And so Kyle writes a letter to John Stewart and leaves him a power ring to protect Earth with. Kyle abandons Earth because he couldn't handle the idea of protecting people who would do something like a gay bashing. That's so deeply personal. It is insane they have never elaborated on how Queer of a story this is. Not just in a bringing attention to gay rights but in an exploration of who Kyle is as a person.

When I read this story years ago I said yeah he cares a lot about Terry which is absolutely true Kyle adored that kid. But I compared it a lot to the 90s Hate Crime arc (yes there are two hate crime arcs) where it was about race and in that instance, Kyle could only be an observer as he worked with Connor Hawke who was actually facing racism but it was mainly about the larger context of racism and how rich people exploit it. This version of hate crime is so much more personal to Kyle himself. He decides he literally can't live on Earth where his people are so filled with hatred he just can't

Who is...Oliver Queen | Green Arrow? - A Reading Guide

Oliver Queen is a hero from DC comics that was first introduced in 1941. Ollie is a character based firmly in the folk hero genre with an unmistakable heavy-handed influence from the Robin Hood mythos. Ollie is best known for being canonically a socialist, befriending assassins and "villains", and for having his most common enemy be the police. He is the father of Roy Harper (Speedy, Arsenal, Red Arrow), Connor Hawke (Green Arrow), Mia Dearden (Speedy), Tim North, and Robert Queen II. He's the older brother of Emiko Queen (Red Arrow). And the long-time partner of Dinah Lance (Black Canary) and Hal Jordan (Green Lantern). Ollie is often at odds with other heroes, which makes his epitaph the most fitting way to sum up his character in that he always makes the right enemies.

A reading list with totally legal links is under the cut!

As always

Origins: these comics deal specifically with Ollie's experience on the island

Green Arrow: Year One Green Arrow: The Wonder Year Green Arrow: Stranded (non-canon but still an AMAZING look at the island)

Select Golden and Silver Age Stories: it is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to read these before reading GL/GA and particularly Snowbirds Don't Fly to get full context of the Pre-Snowbirds GA/Speedy dynamic.

More Fun Comics #78, 81-82, 89, 91-92 World’s Finest Comics #7, 57, 70 Adventure Comics #121, 133, 137, 151, 155, 164, 166, 179, 184, 189, 196 Adventure Comics #233 World’s Finest Comics #88 Adventure Comics #246, 256, 260-263 Teen Titans Vol 1 #4, 11, 19-43

Green Lantern/Green Arrow: possibly the most famous stories involving Ollie, GL/GA is a quintessential must-read for the emerald archer! As stated above, PLEASE read the Golden and Silver Age issues before reading GL (1960) #85-86.

Green Lantern (1960) #76-87, 89 The Flash (1959) #217-219 Green Lantern (1960) #90-100, 102-124

Green Arrow Titles: See parenthetical notes for specific commentary on the various series

Green Arrow (1983) Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters (this is a direct lead in to Green Arrow 1988) Green Arrow (1988) (while Chuck Dixon's run has been included for completion's sake please note that he has gone on the record saying that the hates Oliver Queen and his writing reflects this) Green Arrow (2001) (this series seriously drops in quality FAST once Judd Winick takes over and his characterization isn't even consistent with what comes before him in the 2001 series let alone in past series, Winick's GA also features significant anti-black racism) Green Arrow/Black Canary (please keep in mind that Judd Winick's characterization is still SHIT but this has been included for completion's sake) Green Arrow: Brightest Day Green Arrow (2011) #17-34

Other Titles and Storylines:

Identity Crisis Final Crisis Green Arrow 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular

I am not including much of N52 because it is bad. And I am not including Rebirth because it should not be included in reading lists that are meant to teach you about the character, it exists to make you question if Ben Percy has read Green Arrow comics after YOU have read the comics he supposedly drew inspiration from.

slides into askbox. do u have any comic recs for good kontent. bonus point if there’s jon n kon bro hours

here's my general konmics rec post! if you want specific arcs, i would say also sb94 60-65 and 87-90 are some of my favorites, as well as "the trial of superman" and also a couple of isolated issues like superman vol 2 ##155. ♥

as for kon & jon there is, alas, nothing. i mean there's some baaaare bones crumbs in current action comics but that's with aged up jon. unfortunately, kon was not in continuity during the entire time jon was a kid, so there's just. nothing there. there's like, the barest bones of a crumb in that jon has a poster of superboy and the ravers in his room (which is wild because of how at that point kon. didn't exist?) but. there's really nothing to rec for their relationship because as far as dc is concerned they don't really have one. they first met in the "house of kent" arc in action comics in like 2019-2020ish but i will be honest with you, that arc was a whole load of nothing 😭
