#Superman/Aliens Vol. 1

"SUPER BUG-HUNT... THIS SUMMER'S MOST OFF-BEAT INTER-COMPANY CROSSOVER."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a gallery of bits and bobs from the edition of "Previews" magazine Vol. 5 #3, March 1995, where the first issue of "Superman/Aliens" was solicited.

OVERVIEW: "Have you ever wondered who would win in a fight between the Man of Steel and a Xenomorph?  Well this is the three issue prestige format series for you. Written by Dan Jurgens with art by Jurgens and Kevin Nowlan, this series kicks off when a distress buoy covered in Kryptonian writing crashes to Earth and Lexcorp calls in Clark Kent and Lois Lane to cover the story.

The Kryptonian writing has Clark’s interest so he travels to where the buoy came from on a Lexcorp space craft and discovers what he believes to be a lost Kryptonian city that somehow survived the planet’s destruction. He meets a young woman named Kara but also comes across the Xenomorphs from the Aliens franchise and because he is far from a yellow sun his powers are waning.

Add to that problem are the four survivors Superman sent back to Earth who, unbeknownst to the Man of Steel, are carrying chest bursters. Superman and Kara must survive the Aliens attacking them, so he can get back to Earth to save it from the destructive creatures he inadvertently sent there."

Hello ! I was wondering if you knew or had a least of every medical condition Dick Grayson has or should be having depending on things hapoening in comics, be it physical or mental health, I want to make some sort of complete and accurate medical report and I need someones help ! Thank you so much <3

Hi,

This is more than I can chew off! With several thousand comics under the belt, and comic book heroes usually healing over night (or at least until the next comic), Dick has been hurt so many times... Shot, cut, drowned, mind-controlled, tortured, punched, you name it. (I'm not even going into the rapes... Or all the times he's lost family members and close friends.)

(Here is an old thread just with stuff Dick has been beaten with... )

Anyway. Here are a number of examples of traumas from all over his career. If anyone wants to chime in, please be my guest!

Two times he lost his memory as Robin:

And of course, he was shot in the head in Batman vol 3 # 55 and lost most memories again. Though it was partly because (or worsened) by a memory crystal and special goggles. 🤷‍♀️

Batman # 55

Nightwing vol 4 # 65

Nightwing vol 4 # 71

He has been close to drowning in for instance Batman # 237, Superman # 700 and New Teen Titans vol 1 # 7.

Shot by some energy weapon in Infinite Crisis. (That's where DC originally planned to let Nightwing die, because of the effect that would have of almost all of DC's characters, but they were kind of forced to change their minds.)

Shot in the shoulder in Batman # 408 and one arm in Nightwing vol 2 # 80, a leg in Nightwing vol 2 # 98 and in the shoulder in Nightwing vol 2 # 148.

A broken leg in Batman # 65 and stabbed here and there in Nightwing vol 3 # 9.

Almost blown to bits in World's Finest Comics # 269.

Radiation damage in Nightwing vol 2 # 116-117.

Almost perished in the desert in Grayson # 5 and exposed to a mysterious alien gas in Batman vol 1 # 107.

And I think I'm going to have to continue in a part two, because there is a limit to the number of pictures in one post...

[gawrkin]

(Source: World's Finest Vol 1. # 162, by DC Comics)

King Arthur and his son Bohart, who steals Bedivere's superpowers. (Poor Bedi...)

"Bohart" is a variant of Borre le Cure Hardy a.k.a. Sir Loholt, the most famous non-Mordred son of Arthur

The comic these two feature in involve Superman and Batman travelling back in time to Camelot and fight aliens. The Knights of the Round Table are present with their own abilities, especially Kay who actually gets back some of his Welsh Myth powers (yay!).

[willfulscarlet]

Assorted Arrowclan headcanons of variable relation to canon, vol 1:

Ollie takes his survivalist shit extremely seriously - not in a prepper ‘six months of canned peaches’ way, but if any of the arrowfam are teleported to a desert island/the Jurassic/an alien planet/etc, they have the skills to survive and even to put batboys to shame. Mia was not terribly enthused to learn flint-knapping, but even on a normal patrol, fixing a broken arrow with a quickly knapped bit of broken glass is a useful skill.

Chilli became Ollie’s comfort food of choice because of Roy, and the cornbread he learned to make growing up on the reservation.

They’re all casually musical. Only Dinah and Roy are fully professional quality - Canary is of course Canary, and at least one of Roy’s cover IDs is a session drummer separate from his time in Great Frog - but the rest are talented amateurs. Star City citizens can tell if it’s a quiet night on patrol by the way they start harmonising Bohemian Rhapsody as they go. For a week after Hal brings Ollie quantum ghost hyperchillies from sector 1337, Roy and Mia sing Ring of Fire every time Ollie gets near them.

The Roy Harper Group Home for Neglected Sidekicks is vastly more successful than the Roy Harper Titans Academy (though to be fair, he’s alive to influence setup and is aiming for wildly different targets to headmistress Kori. But also….) Grant is an enthusiastic mainstay of cookouts and official Big Brother to the brood, several of whom get adopted into the JSA. Jason is perpetually confused.

(this leads to, when Ollie is being especially Ollie, a 21-year old Mia declaring she needs an adult and looking to Roy as the responsible one. Which causes perturbations, mostly in Roy’s psyche)

Between her early home life, living on the streets, assorted heroism-related absences, her school getting blown up and her involuntary sabbatical courtesy of Waller, Mia’s had about a year and a half of high school. It’s something she’s intensely insecure about, especially around her Titans team.

Lian was meant to give back her Legion Flight Ring before she went after Ollie and Connor. And she did! She just stole Saturn Girl’s ring on her way through the portal. This will cause problems for people that aren’t Lian.

Connor is welcome anywhere, anywhen. He’s got the only functioning ‘tact and diplomacy’ brain cell in the family.

Ollie is banned from Twitter. Roy, Mia and the Queen Industries PR department all owe Oracle a kidney apiece for ensuring he remains banned.

Connor’s mom is an old hippie and lives on a commune just outside of Metropolis. They grow weed that could knock out Superman. Mia isn’t allowed to make brownies with Moonday ever again.

Several leaguers and quadruple the number of supervillains have nightmares about the first Sin-Lian-Emi teamup. Some things are just unfair.

By the same token, Bruce and Ollie have explicitly barred Steph and Mia from ever working together again. They pay even less attention to this pronouncement than their mentors expected. Possibly it has encouraged them.

Roy’s favourite shot: tripping Wally with an arrow through his shoelaces. He first manages it when they’re both 14, but the pinnacle is when he repeats it when they’re in their mid-30s and Wally is having yet another Speedforce-related Capital-C Crisis. Roy saving the universe through the medium of teenage pranks is not something he ever lets Wally live down. There’s a display in the Flash Museum and everything.

Mia, recognising Ollie’s habit of stranding himself on Starfish Island every time the wind changes, has buried several caches of clothes, survival gear and rations around the island. Just because he has a Robinson Crusoe fetish doesn’t mean she can’t be comfortable in board shorts while he ‘reconnects’.

[quotingdamianwayne]

Did she try to hit you? Bruce always said if a girl tries to hit you that means she likes you...

It was a case. Nothing more. She was a fair and adequate partner... ...for an alien.

...Little jerk!

[nerds-yearbook]

The 3rd vol of Superboy was launched with a cover date of February 1990. The 1st issue saw Clark leaving Smallville and starting school at Shuster College (Superman was co-created by Joe Shuster) in Siegelville (Superman was co-created by Jerry Siegel), Florida. He also rescued an alien. This series was meant to reflect the world of the TV show of the same title and not a part of the mainstream DC continuity of the time. ("The Superboy", Superboy (Vol 3) 1, DC Comic Event)

Titans/Young Justice: Graduation

The Silver Coin vol. 1

[chernobog13]

A remastered version of Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez's cover for Action Comics (vol. 1) #488 (October, 1978) featuring Superman battling Microwave Man.

Microwave Man was a one-shot villain, appearing in a single story over two issues of Action (#487 & 488). We learn that he was Earth-One's first supervillain, and - presumably - first superhuman, having gained microwave-based superpowers in the 1930s.

This was pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths Earth-One, so there were no Golden Age heroes (i.e. the Justice Society). Superman was the first superhero on the planet, just like his Golden Age counterpart on Earth-Two.

So who fought Microwave Man back in the day if there were no superheroes? The police did, but with no success. Microwave Man was, for all intents and purposes, unstoppable. His crime wave only ended when aliens, who had detected his use of microwave powers, visited Earth and invited Microwave Man to tour the galaxy with them.

40 years later he returned to Earth as an old man to die on his homeward. However, learning of Superman, Microwave Man begged the aliens to make him young again - even though it would shorten his remaining life to just a few hours - so that he could battle Superman. This is, of course, ignoring the fact that back then Superman was a galaxy-wide - and beyond - legend, having had numerous adventures all over the cosmos. How Microwave Man failed to learn that is just one of those story points you're supposed to ignore.

Now a young man again, Microwave Man finds that he is magnitudes more powerful due to the increased usage of microwaves in the modern era. This makes him pretty much an even match for Superman when they battle.

Superman being Superman, however, is able to figure out a way to defeat Microwave Man. He never uses that method, but instead is defeated by the super criminal. Microwave Man then dies, happy that he was able to have one final moment of glory.

The aliens return to reclaim Microwave Man's body. It is then we learn that they contacted Superman before the final battle and informed him of Microwave Man's imminent death. Superman pretended to be defeated to allow Microwave Man his dying wish. The aliens then depart, and Microwave Man is never heard from again.

[nitpickrider]

okay cause you're pfp is of the little mermaid I gotta ask

what is your opinion on the global guardians as a whole?

and do you have any reading reqs of their stories?

(sorry if this is something you've already said. I only started following you during your teen titans 03 retrospective)

First of all, the idea that people could have come in here in different "eras" is fucking...sending me...hold on I...I need to sit down. There are 400 people who give a shit about what I have to say...oh dear god... *Existential Crisis* ANYWAY (See Rant Below)

For those of you who don't know, the Global Guardians are a DC comics superhero team whose gimmick is implied in the name. One member from each country in a grab bag of national symbols and stereotypes from around the world. (The fact that their only American representative is native is so fucking good it makes me wish they were more popular JUST to watch Twitter fucking blow up) I think they're awesome! There's so much room for pathos and drama here, so many things that could be looked at from global perspectives, letting us see outside of what happens in the 10-ish cities that DC wants us to give a shit about at any one time. Just having them get tie ins during events would be giving writers some of the most free and fascinating content they've had in years. ...unfortunately DC fucking HATES them. When their first attempt of getting rid of them by basically replacing them with the JLI didn't work (Not saying I don't love the JLI but looking at the roster it is 99% either Americans or aliens which just kicks the feet out from anything interesting about the premise). They did what DC always does when they have rosters full of beloved and underutilized D-Listers who are just yearning for a writer to give them one good story to show what they can do... ...they started killing them off. En masse. Repeatedly. Not only making the team look like a bunch of chumps every time they want a new villain to look tough but also jumbling the team's status quo to the point where trying to figure them out or use them is an exercise in frustration. At any one time 90% of their membership is either dead, replaced with a totally new person or evil for some reason. Honestly the only good stories that give the Guardians the due their premise is owed are the Super-Friends tie in issues introducing the team (The Super-Friends tie in comic is actually just really good in general and you should read it). And the team up issues the had with Superman in DC Comics Presents where I first met and fell in love with their Danish member Little Mermaid. The mentioned issues, listed below are:

Super Friends Vol 1. 7-9, 45-46 DC Comics Presents Vol 1. 46 That's all I've got. At this point I'm basically resigned to having to make good content for them by doing it myself.

[orange-s-mario]

Supermen:

this is going to be a long one

1. Kal-L/Clark Kent/Superman

this guy is the actual golden age superman. This universe was basically were they put him since Earth-Two and Golden Age Superman stories; had some inconsistencies. 2. Kal-El/Sonn/Clark Kent. First he was Superboy, then he was Superman

I love this guy. He's great. He feels alienated all the time and is also almost always going through it. He is NOT well at all. He also has a large dating life - mostly with women with L. L. initials; most notably Lois, Lana, and Lori. He also remembers Krypton due to supermemory. He is friends with the Legion of Superheroes (Original)

NON-CLARK DETOUR #1 3. Ar-Val, the tyrant Superman

Kal handpicked a Kandorian successor after some tests, due to Clark losing his powers. It didn't quite go well and ended in tragedy for Ar-Val 4. Not a Superman but a "Skyman," Klar-Don, a predecessor to Superman

He's basically just Superman on Krypton; Although it seems like he just has Flight due to his Flight Belt (the other Superman past lives only had one power; Erok the magnificent had a potion that made him have super-strength, and Skuldor had V-goggles which let him use X-ray vision). He works for the Daily World, he has a friend named Jol-Lar, there's a Lois, and a Perry. I like to think he's the ancestor of Vol-Don (a member of the Kryptonian lookalike Squad

-End detour

5. Kal-L/Superman

This is Earth-Two Kal-L. He's basically golden age Superman with a few differences to make him standout from Earth-One Superman. He also married Lois, and met Lana again after he married Lois. There's also only 4 other survivors of Krypton. He's also great. also I want to give a shoutout to his "Mr. and Mrs. Superman" S logo.

I just think it's neat

6. Clark Joseph Kent/Kal-El

...he was literally born on this planet. At least at first. THIS GUY has THREE ORIGINS. First Man of Steel, then Birthright, then Secret Origins. Secret Origins adds Superboy back to his mythos. He has met all versions of the Legion, but was specifically part of "Original" Legion (Retroboot)

NON-CLARK DETOUR #2

7. Steel 1 (the only Reign of Supermen character to NOT claim he was Superman)

He's cool. Also when Christopher Priest was writing him, he was basing him off Dwayne Mcduffie, I just wanted to let you know that. He's had multiple origins as well, but I think the gist is that the new 52 beginning stuff happens first and then Death of Superman.

8. Eradicator... 2(?)

HE WAS AN EGG. his lore gets pretty complicated, especially due to all the weird absorbing other people's consciousness parts; He was actually made by a different alien, but Kem-L made him a xenophobe. Or something like that. I think all Post-Crisis Eradicator appearances are the same guy? Apparently not; New Krypton Eradicator is a different one, but he DOES have the og's memories. So it's a David Conner situation. He can sense things from not the main universe being in the main universe. He changed and grew as a person because of Guy Gardner 8.5 Eradicator...3 ?

(apparently not the same guy; this guy must have even more identity issues then post-david connor eradicator)

9. Superboy (Kon-El, later Conner Kent)*

He also has two origins. His original origin links him to many Jack Kirby concepts and makes him one - a DNAlien, a metahuman made by genetically modifying human DNA. He was the clone of Paul Westfield (westfield is evil btw). Johns retcons this into a half-Luthor half-Superman clone (superman is good btw), who always is worried about turning EVIL due to EVILLL GENES. Anyways Young Justice (2019) revealed he was on gemworld during flashpoint so he survived. He's also met the legion (reboot) *He has referred to himself as Superman

10. Cyborg Superman (Hank Henshaw)

he has Reed Richard's origins, except his crew doesn't really survive. He became a mass of energy and basically can't die. Much more of a GL villain, but has become a Superman villain again recently

-End detour

11. Kal-El/Clark Joseph Kent

This Superman starts out as a Champion of the Oppressed like his golden age counterpart, then quickly gets into bigger and bigger ideas like a 5th dimensional being trying to sell out Superman. He also met a version of the legion that doesn't exist anymore due to saving him. He died and also maybe he got better (see Sideways) and also he fused with the post-crisis guy, leading to:

12. Superman Reborn (Kal-El/Clark Joseph Kent)

yeah sure this makes sense. (it does not, Superman has a bunch of contradictions with just post-crisis and post-flashpoint) 12.5 Infinite Frontier Superman (Kal-El/Clark Joseph Kent... maybe also Sonn?)

everything is canon now. How does that work with the various versions of Superman? It doesn't. This is where we are now. There really hasn't been much changes to Superman lore though. The biggest thing was probably Lex being a superhero in early metropolis. The one thing I'm pretty sure of is that this Clark has met all the legions

NON-CLARK DETOUR #3 13. Alexander "Lex" Luthor

After Prime Earth Superman died, many people took to the skies to carry on his legacy. One of such people is Lex Luthor

14. Kong Kenan, the New Super-Man

Kenan is imbued with the chi of Prime Earth Superman and gains superpowers, He develops and changes and grows as a person and learns how to use his powers as well as learns more about his family. Highly recommend New Super-Man

15. Denny Swan

He was hit by a sentient bolt of energy that carried a mutated genome of Prime Earth Superman so he thinks he's Superman, He blew up.

16. Emperor Super-Man/Super-Man Zero

A prototype Super-Man, also made by infusing him with the chi of prime earth superman; he was lab-grown

[dccomicsbracket]

Motivations:

Taylor Barzelay (Galaxy) and Jon Kent (Superman) in A-Town

Ever since Jadzia Axelrod put the concept of Metropolis having an alien quarter on page, I have wanted desperately to see it. I'd love to see Galaxy become a more integrated part of the DC universe, whether by having Axelrod just write more stuff for DC, or by having Taylor be written by other people. I think teaming her up with Jon could be fun as they're both young, queer, aliens in Metropolis and they could bond over it. I also think teaming them up could be a way to emphasise what distinguishes Jon from his dad, exploring his queerness and his relationship to being of mixed American-Kryptonian heritage. I also think he needs more friends. What is it like being an alien on Earth? How is it different if you look more or less normatively human?

Gavin King (Orpheus)

The other victim of War Games. He deserves a solo as reparations. With the continuity reset, it's easier to just have him show up again than ever. For real, Orpheus Rising was a really strong introduction for the character as well as having sharp politics that feel timely to this day. Given The Hill is getting its moment in the sun with the current Red Hood flashback mini, it'd be natural yo have Orpheus as one of its current day protectors. There's also the lingering mystery of who exactly Orpheus's benefactors were, which could be a great way to tie him into the wider DCU.

Marvel Worlds project plan: Thunderbolts (Vol. 1)

This series is not an assured project. It is a concept that can still be changed or scrapped.

Synopsis

When the Avengers are unavailable, the Force Works program activates the Thunderbolts team. The Mad Thinker unleashes the Squadron Supreme upon the world. It is up to the Thunderbolts to stop them all by any means necessary. The world can only hope the team of villains has what it takes.

Characters

Alexis Sauvage/Agent Guillotine - A French espionage agent recruited by the Force Works program to be the handler of the Thunderbolts.

Melissa Gold/Songbird - A young woman formerly known as the villain Screaming Mimi. She is reformed and has taken on the more heroic name of "Songbird." When asked to join the Thunderbolts, she accepts on the condition that she would be considered for parole. Agent Guillotine made her his second-in-command.

John Walker/U.S. Agent - A military veteran, right-wing conservative, and nationalist. He sees himself as better than Steve Rogers and a true American. After he was arrested for murder and imprisoned. He works with the Thunderbolts just for the chance to work for the American government again.

Jack Monroe/Nomad - A vigilante who once worked with Jack Flag. He was imprisoned for being an accomplice to the murder of a congressman. He is recruited into the Thunderbolts with the promise of access to a shooting range. He butts heads with U.S. Agent over politics.

Ghost - An Inhuman with phasing powers and a recurring enemy of Iron Man. He joins the Thunderbolts with the promise of money.

Rana Philips/Aberration - A U.S. soldier who took a Gamma serum that made her into a strong scaly humanoid like the Abomination. She joined the Thunderbolts with the promise of being cured and serves as the muscle of the team.

Norbert Ebersol/Techno - A technological genius who caused problems for Iron Man. He is recruited into the Thunderbolts with the promise of internet access.

Erin Cicero/Axon - A U.S. soldier who volunteered for a project to splice her DNA with a sample from the villain Zzzax. She became an energy vampire, absorbing the electricity from the human brain.

Julianne Erwin/Mad Thinker - An evil mastermind and former A.R.M.O.R. scientist. She opens a portal to an alternate reality, bringing the Squadron Supreme from their home reality. She controls them through chips implanted in the back of their necks.

Other Information

I wanted to make something better than Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. I hope I can.

This version of Hyperion is inspired by Omni-Man from the Invincible franchise, rather than Superman from DC Comics, because I'm a fan of Invincible and not Superman.
