"I fly for the glory of Ra. The sun is my strength, the sky is my home." - Jeff Parker in "Future Quest" (2016). A prayer to the Egyptian gods he is the last remaining worshipper of, given just before flight by habit, by Ray Randall, aka Birdman.

Mightor was of course featured in Future Quest where some aspects were expanded on him. His Club's power was actually derived from the Eldritch monstrosity Omnikron & he used that power to fend off The monsters for years, until perishing in one final battle against Omnikron (sealing the monster away for the time being) & losing the club in a tar pit. Millions of years later a young boy named Ty accidentally touched the club becoming the Modern day Mightor & helped the other HB heroes fend off Omnikron for good.
I loved Future Quest. Such a fun comic and Evan Shaner's illustration was just brilliant.

SUPER/HÉROE
Leyendo Future Quest (2016-2017) y Green Lantern/Green Arrow (1970-1972) y viendo Infini-T Force (2017) me di cuenta de algo, y es que me resultaba tremendamente refrescante leer relatos de corte clásico sobre el heroísmo.
Algo que uno imaginaría sería la norma ya no lo es, debido a que llevamos varias décadas bajo la influencia de obras muy populares que subvierten y critican los fundamentos del género. En la era en que vivimos las historias clásicas parecen a los ojos de muchos desconectadas con la realidad.
Para examinar esa idea, intentaré explicar lo mejor que pueda los dos fundamentos que yo creo una historia de superhéroes debe entender.
Las tres historias mencionadas al inicio son del tipo crossover. Future Quest e Infini-T Force reúnen las series de aventuras no interconectadas de Hanna-Barbera y Tatsunoko, respectivamente, mientras que Green Lantern/Green Arrow es un crossover dentro de un mismo universo ficticio donde ambos héroes ocupan rincones muy diferentes, el espacio exterior y las calles.
SUPER
Debería ser evidente que la historia superheroica es necesariamente metafórica. Puede ser una metáfora de muchas cosas, pero desde el comienzo (por ejemplo, Superman o Spider-Man) ha sido sobre alguien con habilidades extraordinarias que se enfrenta a amenazas extraordinarias, pero también a problemas cotidianos.
Future Quest cuenta con extraterrestres, seres interdimensionales, poderes basados en culturas antiguas y también robots gigantes. Los amenazas también son de ese estilo, pero la historia termina hablando de ideas que sí se conectan con nosotros, como la colaboración más allá de las diferencias (Y entra también en el goce de los poderes, algo casi pueril que siento que también se ha perdido). En Infini-T Force los héroes que se transforman vienen de diferentes dimensiones y tienen poderes fantásticos, pero lo crucial es que ayuden a la joven protagonista a ver que vale la pena vivir.

Y bueno, entonces, ¿qué onda con Green Lantern/Green Arrow, que es histórica por abordar de forma directa problemáticas sociales? Si bien Green Lantern y Green Arrow pueden resolver un caso, la naturaleza humana no cambia, y su lucha eterna sigue, por lo mismo. Y bueno, si el superhéroe arregla los problemas sociales… ¿no privará eso a cada uno de sus libertades individuales?

Entonces cuando un autor empieza a hacer preguntas como “¿por qué el héroe no arregla definitivamente este problema social o de desastres naturales?” entramos en problemas, porque, al igual que con cualquier otro género, hay ciertas preguntas que no deben hacerse o se rompe la estructura. En particular esto me parece relevante porque pierde el punto central, que no tiene que ver con la fantasía sino con la realidad: en la realidad no habrá un extraterrestre que detenga los tsunamis cuando ocurran, entonces una historia donde arregle todos los problemas no nos sirve de mucho.
Los poderes son parte de la metáfora, los conflictos también lo son. No se puede equiparar el mundo de una obra superheroica con el mundo real en una relación 1:1. Mientras las metáforas hablen del mundo real, no es necesario que los elementos de la historia sean equivalentes absolutos de los nuestros.
HÉROE
Esta idea se diluye cada vez más entre los protagonistas sarcásticos y desafectados (y a veces, psicópatas) que pueblan el cine y la televisión del género, pero creo que la nobleza del superhéroe debiera seguir siendo la norma. No significa rehuir de complejidad moral, pero como estas historias son metafóricas, el carácter del héroe debería seguir siendo algo a lo que aspirar. Efectivamente Superman actúa en una escala diferente a Spider-Man, y Peter Parker es más falible que Kal-El/Clark Kent, pero mientras ambos apunten hacia la misma dirección, nosotros también podemos hacerlo.
Ya es cliché la lección que de Stan Lee (y después del tío Ben) de que un gran poder debe conllevar una gran responsabilidad. La otra parte que no se declara, pero se ilustra, es la aceptación de la pérdida, a la larga el sacrificio. En Infini-T Force los villanos son aquellos que no pueden aceptar la pérdida y aferrándose a lo que ya se fue cometen actos atroces. Los héroes pasan por el mismo proceso pero eligen dejar ir y avanzar.
Future Quest tiene un acercamiento similar, donde los variopintos héroes tienen una decencia y caballerosidad (incluidas las mujeres) que les permite unir sus esfuerzos. Green Lantern/Green Arrow es un poco diferente debido a que comienza en un enfrentamiento ideológico entre Hal y Ollie, pero la clave es que al expresar sus puntos de vista opuestos, hay una dialéctica y logran una síntesis productiva, no declaran una guerra civil entre los héroes. La razón por la que agrupo estos dos títulos en este párrafo es porque en ambos hay héroes con y sin poderes fantásticos, pero eso no impide que la historia funcione, porque lo que en verdad importa en una historia de superhéroes, es esa parte de al final.
______
No quiero ser pedante, nunca me propuse tener estándares respecto a las historias de superhéroes, pero supongo que después de leer y ver tantas, se va perfilando una preferencia y hasta creencia. Sobre todo de nobleza, que creo que debe ser preservada. Porque al final estas historias son para que podamos aguantar y avanzar nosotros.

A variant cover for DC's Future Quest comic book, by Steve Rude. Future Quest was a crossover between most of Hanna-Barbera's adventure/superhero characters, and a whole lot of fun.

This is what happened after 3.1 isn't it?
#hsr#phaidei#phaidei nation I humbly offer thee a low quality meme to cope with the doomed yaoi that was going on#phainon#honkai star rail#fellas is it gay for your red coded rival to your blue coded rival to clasp his hands over your own after you stabbed him#due to thinking he was the objective of your revenge quest#pull your sword deeper in and by consequence add to your proximity while smiling and fondly say “Found you.”?#Was it casual when you had an insanely charged and homoerotic scene in the hot baths that had you face down on the ground at his feet?#no but seriously these two have me in a chokehold#what do you MEAN you told him your precise weak spot just in case you became you turned against his cause#and his presumed future EMIYA Archer coded shadow self immediately went precisely for it?#and you KNOW you'll die with a wound in that weak spot in your back and you told him about it anyway#and you tell people to keep an eye on him after you go to meet your fate and then ask him to watch over your people#and he says he'll work hard to learn your language#AND FINALLY#“If there's a chance in the next life you should come visit my library.” WHAT IF I PERISHED ON THE SPOT?!#that's their “See you in the next world.”; their “Do stay alive. I wish you the best of luck.”;#their “I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.”; “You were a wonderful experience. You were everything.” etc etc#they make me ill (positive)#also I find it so funny that as a KevinSu shipper in HI3rd I went into Star Rail expecting for the dynamic to be more coded with Anaxa#only for Phaidei to hit literally all of my points and favorite tropes in a ship and by consequence my head with a steel chair lol#really hope we see Mydei again soon because literally the first thing Phainon does after he's gone is talk about him all the time#he is a professional yearner and I respect him for it (especially since I too miss Mydei as if he's Odysseus going off to war and sea#for 20 years and I'm Penelope waiting at the shores of Ithaca)#also sorry for the low quality screenshot I was literally too invested in the quest to try and take better ones#gotta love how Hoyoverse is always giving the Kaslanas some of the best romances in their games and ESPECIALLY so if they're queer#myphai

Every year, Sam, Danny, and Tucker go on a vacation courtesy of Sam's very reluctant parents. This year, it was Tuckers turn to choose the location and activities, and he chose Gotham.
Not only did it have Wayne Tech, one of the most technologically advanced companies, but Gotham was also hosting a massive furry convention this year and the three of them were cosplaying as Succubats from the Dragon Quest series. They had gone all out, full purple body and face paint, contacts that made the whites of their eyes black, hand died leggings, leotards, and fuzzy leg warmers as well as everything else. Let's just say there was a lot of sowing involved.
Danny even made a mad scientist invention that toyed with gravity so that they could fly while flapping their wings. His parents were so proud and made them stop for pictures before they left.
The convention was fun and they got saved by Robin once and ended up teasing him a bit. Sam was cackling the next day when she found out Robin had gone through the rest of his patrol not knowing that Danny's purple galaxy lipstick was still on his cheek the entire time.
The only part they didn't like was this weird trenchcoat guy kept following them around in the shadows, but Batman was with him, so it was probably okay. The Justice League had found out about the anti ecto acts and publicly tore the government a new one. Danny had barely managed to hide his parents' involvement and work with Tuckers and Vlads' help. While he and Vlad were still bitter enemies, Vlad didn't want to see Maddie in jail, and Danny could work with that.
On the flip side of things, the Justice League still had no idea about the portals in Amity Park or that anything was going on there. So when John Constantine found out about a insanely powerful entity that radiated death energy like the sun radiated light heading straight to Gotham, he panicked and immediately went to Batman to tell him the bad news.
John had no idea what this creature was and was determined to find out, but between the make up and body paint and everything else, it was impossible to discover the identity of the three teens. It didn't help that Danny could just turn them invisible/fly them everywhere so John and Bruce are suffering
#prompts#fanfiction prompts#dpxdc#danny phantom#danny fenton#batman#damian wayne#tucker foley#sam mansion#succubat#dragon quest#tucker totally begs tim/ lucious for his autograph if he gets the chance#danny had gotten his wierd death vibes all over tucker and sam so no one knows if they're actually human or not#lucious is interested in the tech Danny made and wants to hire danny and Tucker in the future#succubat is a monster from dragon quest btw
