Can we all kind of agree that dc needs to heavily improve their power scaling? Whenever I look at the geoforce tag I get that godawful Batman Damian and talia comic where Brion rips off the costume or whatev and hello?!? The guy controls gravity so well he can stop bullets??? As athletic as the non metas in that area were they’re nowhere near as fast as a bullet he should’ve been able to pin them to the spot with his powers alone.

Yes I’m still salty ab Brion getting partially butchered writing wise. They could never make me actually hate him especially when it comes to being against talia as cool as she is I don’t like her. In fact I actually don’t like Damian or Bruce either, I seriously only read some issues of that comic for Brion alone.

I’m aware that I’m whining I don’t care, batman writers are dog shit at writing other characters and I get to complain about how bad they are.

the difficult task of choosing 12 dudes...

[dccomicsbracket]

Motivations:

Cissie King-Jones (Arrowette)

I miss her. It would be very interesting to see a narrative tackling the effects of emotional abuse. A fun way to tackle on what retiring from hero life is like and adding pieces of world building. It would be nice to see her and Barts friendship.

Tara Markov (Terra), & Brion Markov (Geo-Force)

In the few things we have regarding their relationship there is a decent amount of love that feels under-explored. Brion tried to avenge her suffering at the hands of Slade which he completely deserved and Tara allegedly turned off Slade's life support. I think it would be a great idea to explore their trauma and relationship.

I wish we had more of that :(

Ok, so I read through the list of holidays you posted on your prompting night post and of course the first thing I saw was Day of Remembrance and Respect to Victims of the Communist Regime.

So my brain happily hopscotched from that to the USSR to 'wait Markovia was under that regime wasn't it?' to, ultimately, what I would offer as a prompt (if you're up to it. No pressure if you're not):

A theoretical Markovian holiday in the vein of the above holiday and how the Markov siblings do or don't acknowledge it.

Hope things are going well for you!

A/N: They're going! In a direction!

In the Hub, various people gathered around as they saw Brion and Tara at the TV, set to stream a view of a Markovian event. The silence and odd reverence Brion had prevented anyone from interrupting as much as Tara's focus.

They both repeated words following the crowd after King Gregor made a speech in Markovian, then bowed their heads in silence.

Finally, when it was over, they continued to have a stern expression but went to join the others for breakfast.

"Soo," Gar said, "What holiday was that?"

"It was a day of Remembrance and Respect to Victims of the Communist Regime," Tara said as she went to eat her food.

"Every year the Royal Family holds the remembrance ceremonies and says prayers for those lost. Many were killed for the crime of being loyal to the royal family, along with those who died because we were unable to protect them." Brion ripped a roll in half. "Our grandfather survived an assassination attempt, but the toll of the poison certainly shortened his lifespan."

Everyone else raised their eyebrows. "So, it's a big thing?" Virgil asked.

"It's not a bank holiday, but people do lay wreaths on the graves of the dead," Brion added. He frowned before swallowing his glass of orange juice.

How tall do you think all the outsiders are? I love for height headcanons

On another note you’re a fantastic writer and I’m adoring the series you got going on. They’re very captivating to read

So sorry for putting this off for so long ! It’s a seriously good question and I am seriously invested and for that reason! I procrastinate so much on it lol (not to say questions i immediately answer arent, i am just all over the place 😅) (also thank u so much for the kind praise 🙏💗 I am so happy ur enjoying it and it means a lot to me <33)

this ask is especially important as it has also been asked before which i will link this post to as the answer right after :)

i’m including all former and current members for completion. Also their birth years (from the YJ wiki) for added context, because why not.

okay so based on multiple YJ scenes (some examples shown below) and 1 ask greg these r my estimates:

(disclaimer these r all rough estimates, no way of knowing for 100% sure and I don’t claim to have a complete picture of all relevant scenes for height cold reading lol i would be happy to hear other peoples thoughts/ideas/corrections as well :D )

Rough Outsiders Height Ranking:

Geo-Force - Brion Markov : (2001) probably roughly max 6 ft 4 (about 1.95m)

Cyborg - Victor Stone : (2000) maybe about 6 ft 2 -3 (about 1.9m)

Blue Beetle - Jaime Reyes : (2000) about 6 ft 2 (1.88 - 1.9m) i actually have him tied with Vic, the only reason why id rank him a little lower is because in some scenes it could be his suit giving him some height.

Static - Virgil Hawkins : (2000) about 6 ft (1.85m)

El Dorado - Eduardo Dorado Jr : (2001) actually i tied him with Virgil but i’m not always certain so i’d also estimate about 6 ft but a range of (1.83-1.85m)

Superboy - Conner Kent : (2010 lol) about 5 ft 9 (1.8m)

Robin - Tim Drake : (2001) about 5 ft 8 (1.78m)

Wonder Girl - Cassie Sandsmark : (2001) id put her at the same height as Tim maybe only slightly shorter, but Greg has mentioned they’re roughly the same height so therefore also 5 ft 8 (1.78m)

Kid Flash - Bart Allen : (2043 🙄 cause hes different like that LOL jk but he’s the equivalent age of 2003) id put him between 5 ft 6 - 5 ft 7 (about 1.7 - 1.73/4m)

Livewire - Leslie Willis : (2002) about 5 ft 5 (1.68m)

Looker - Lia Briggs : (2002) about 5 ft 4 (1.65m)

Windfall - Wendy Jones : (2005) about same as Lia maybe 5 ft 3 - 4 (1.63 - 1.65m)

Beast Boy - Garfield Logan : (2002) about 5 ft 2 - 3 (1.6-1.63m)

Stargirl- Courtney Whitmore : (2003) about 5 ft 1-2 (1.55 - 1.58m)

Terra - Tara Markov : (2003) about same as Courtney 5 ft 1-2 (1.55 - 1.58m)

Forager : (?) idk lol let’s say 5 ft 😂
