#supporting cast

[fan-a-tink]

Here we go again! this time we are looking at all the fabulous supporting characters of dbda - some heroes, some villains! We have them all :) The line up includes Maxine, Tragic Mick, Simon, David the Demon, as well as some surprise appearances (you'll see!)... as always, you have 24 hours, so let's goooooo!!

[advent-if]

Matthew Faith (he/him). 34. Head of Faith Industries, a futuristic medtech company renowned for creating new, cutting-edge treatments for various diseases. Inherited the company from his father, Mark. You’ve known him since you were a child.

Dr. Daria Drift (she/her). 31. Doctor at Fountainfell Hospital and a prodigy at all things medicine. Once a brilliant independent scientist, she now heads the Medical Research Wing of Advent City’s premier hospital.

Marisol Aguirre (she/her) [orphan route]. 46. Your caretaker and stand-in mother. For years, she’s looked after you as if you were her own. She made a promise to your parents to protect you years ago, and she sure as hell will make sure it lasts.

Aspen Adika (they/them) [acquired route]. The 15 year old kid next door, who you’ve struck an unlikely but steel-strong friendship with. Shy but surprisingly perceptive for their age. They think the world of you; better not prove them wrong.

Feroz Firdaus (he/him) [innate route]. 37. Technically your boss, but he’s so cheery and sweet that anyone would mistake him for a coworker. He believes in your ability to make a great ascension in your career. If only he knew where your real priorities were.

** additional facts (and some important info) about the supporting cast can be found here!

As someone who has been catching up on comics. I noticed a pattern with Nightwing. Every time the author changes the supporting cast gets dumped. We had the run offs and greyer Blockbuster. They don’t exist by the Ric arc even though they could be people to step up in Nightwing’s absence or grab power. Ric arc had a cast of cops and friends and Bea. Never heard from the cops again despite them being potential informants. The difference with Tom Taylor is that he’s the only one who uses old characters but he mutates them. Not sure if that’s worse but I hate the cast dumping. I fully expect never to see Bea, and the sister again. If the Sister stays someone will kills her off. Huh Taylor had a small supporting cast compared to others.

Yeah that's been a reoccurring problem with Nightwing and is one of the complaints fans have about it.

OH SHIT. Hold on. I'm sorry but this conversation just triggered something in my brain. So Guppy was in prison, right? Omg was he in the prison that Heartless liberated? Is Guppy free??

Wait let me double check... Heartless liberated Bludhaven Private Prison... and Guppy went to Bludhaven Maximum Security Prison... ugh. Damn. Different prisons.

Anyway, if they had kept Bea's normal civilian origin, I would've loved her as an informant of sorts for Nightwing since she could overhear convos at the bar and also see who certain individuals came in with. So yeah it would suck to see Bea just disappear after this, but at the same time, I don't know if I vibe with her sticking around as a pirate queen.

Melinda on the other hand, she can go. TT literally just set her up as the mayor as a way to make it easy for Dick to take down the baddies of the city. That's her purpose. Just easy gateway/easy access to certain information and such. TT hasn't bothered doing anything else with her, really. The sibling thing was just to give Dick an easy way to befriend the mayor. That's it.

But yeah, it'll be interesting to see which cast members the next writer pulls. Or who knows, maybe they'll rely more heavily on the Titans.

blazing blade side character cast is brainrotting me. Literally drew an entire page of Lowens during class today. my beloved fluffy-bang boy ;—; I want him in Heroes so bad

also bonus: what I think he looks like under the bangs… tooth-gap and crooked nose and squinty lil smiley eyes. I love him sm

Mystical Unity Villains and Supporting Cast! 🖤 . . . I decided to share these profiles together since they’re quite self-explanatory. Just like the main group, everyone comes in a trio: three magical girls, three villains, and three supporting characters.

The villains are planning to destroy Earth and take over an alternate world for their queen(?) The problem…the kingdom they’re now planning to control won’t budge their advances. So, they have a princess in their captivity to finally take control of their target. Slane is the muscle, Lynx is the strategist, and Discord is the leader. What shenanigans are they up to? Who knows!

The supporting cast consists of their fairy mascot, Yoshi, their mentor and master of alchemy, John, and the princess the Unities have to save and who the villains keep captive, the fallen princess. Although she’s the damsel, she has the power of magic hidden from others, sent for the Unities, with upgrades galore. John is an expert alchemist, raised in a magical realm that never accepted him…except one person. What’s Yoshi’s motive? Who knows!

Villains: Slane 🔷 Lynx 🩷 Discord ☘️

Supporting: Yoshi 🩷 John 🩵 The Fallen Princess 💘

Thank you so much for the support for everything I post, it makes me more motivated when I see the love for a project I’ve been dying to create for a larger audience. I’ll continue to post any new drawings I create for my senior thesis, so watch out for some more amazing content from this project! And possibly, I might continue to revamp my project from where I left off. Who knows!

Thank you for the support! 💕🥰

[i-am-the-oyster]

This is a great interview with Jurgen, an underrated member of the supporting cast imo.

John stayed with him for a few days in 66 (and was very sweet)

he got screwed over by whoever was responsible for managing the art on John's Rock&Roll album

John and Paul stayed with him for at least a week when they came to Paris *to visit him*

[pi-ying-xi]

What's our little eunuch Hong Zhu up to then, precious?

(I really like some of the new characters they've introduced.)

[askstellarstella]

꧁ᬊᬁ ꪮᡶꫝꫀꪹ ᨶꫝꪖꪹꪖᨶᡶꫀꪹక ᬊ᭄꧂

While Stella is our main focus, there are a few supporting characters that I'll be writing and drawing for on the side.

Note: Stella's mother is a WIP and will be added once she's ready.

𝕰𝖆𝖗𝖑 𝕴𝖕𝖔𝖘

Stella's father. A fortune teller of all things past, present and future, Ipos resides in Wrath, working mostly with that ring and Sloth. He is quite distant, but surprisingly friendly.

🅢🅣🅔🅛🅛🅐'🅢 🅕🅘🅩🅩🅑🅞🅣

Stella's fizzy is a gift bought for her before Fizzarolli decided to retire. Not that she cared much for the details... probably never even seen Fizzarolli perform. It's treated even worse than the imps in the house are.

Unleashing The Man Of Steel: Why Henry Cavill Is The Perfect Superman

Superman is one of the most iconic superheroes of all time. Over the years, many actors have played the role of the Man of Steel on the big and small screens. However, there is one actor who stands out as the best Superman to date – Henry Cavill. In this article, we will explore why Henry Cavill is the best Superman, with subheadings.

Physical Appearance and Presence

When it comes to playing Superman, the actor's physical appearance is crucial. Henry Cavill has the perfect combination of looks and physique to play the Man of Steel. He is tall, muscular, and has chiseled features that make him look like he stepped right out of a comic book. Moreover, Cavill has an undeniable presence that commands attention whenever he is on screen. His deep voice and confident demeanor make him the perfect fit for the role of Superman.

Acting Skills

While physical appearance is essential for playing Superman, it is not enough to carry a whole movie. That's where Henry Cavill's acting skills come into play. Cavill is a talented actor who brings depth and nuance to the role of Superman. He can convey a range of emotions, from joy and hope to sadness and despair, without ever losing the character's essence. Cavill's portrayal of Superman is both powerful and vulnerable, making him relatable to audiences.

Understanding of the Character

To play a superhero as iconic as Superman, an actor must have a deep understanding of the character. Henry Cavill has proven time and again that he understands Superman on a fundamental level. He recognizes that Superman is not just a hero with incredible powers but also a symbol of hope and inspiration for humanity. Cavill's portrayal of Superman captures the character's unwavering commitment to doing what is right, even when it is difficult. He embodies the core values of Superman and brings them to life in a way that resonates with audiences.

Chemistry with Other Actors

In any superhero movie, the chemistry between the lead actor and the supporting cast is essential. Henry Cavill has excellent chemistry with the other actors in the Superman movies. His interactions with Lois Lane (played by Amy Adams) are especially noteworthy. The chemistry between Cavill and Adams is palpable, and they have great on-screen chemistry that makes their relationship feel genuine and heartfelt.

Fan Following

Finally, Henry Cavill has a massive fan following that loves and supports him as Superman. Fans appreciate his dedication to the role, his commitment to fitness, and his genuine love for the character. Cavill is not just an actor playing Superman; he is a fan of the character who understands its importance in popular culture. His dedication to the role has earned him a loyal fan base that eagerly awaits his next appearance as the Man of Steel.

In conclusion, Henry Cavill is the best Superman for many reasons. He has the physical appearance and presence to embody the iconic superhero. He is a talented actor who brings depth and nuance to the role. He understands the character on a fundamental level and embodies its core values. He has excellent chemistry with the supporting cast, especially Amy Adams, and has a massive fan following that loves and supports him as Superman. All these factors combined make Henry Cavill the perfect Man of Steel for our times.

I feel like Sarah Wilson deserves to be in this list! She could be bitter about all she's been through, is going through, but she's smart, effective and generous.

Does Agatha count as a minor character? She surely gave some bite to Wandavision, and then to her own show.

Cake’s Top Ten Little Moments in the MCU

For @alphaflyer, who suggested the little MCU moments in which “ordinary people (like us) confront and comment on that super-ness.” .Thanks for the idea! This was a lot of fun.

10. “Can we get a selfie?” – Thor: Ragnarok

Let’s face it; who wouldn’t want to get a selfie with a superhero, especially one as hot as Thor?  But beyond that, this scene shows the way normal humans would acclimate to the Avengers, accepting their presence the same way we deal with stars and royalty.  We’d take selfies, post on social media, and overall be excited that our paths crossed with someone so amazing, even if only tangentially. 

Plus, Loki’s eye roll is absolutely fabulous. 

9. “Why the hell should I take orders from you?”  – NYPD officer in The Avengers

It’s a funny scene that highlights the difference between the police and Captain America. But it also shows the very human reaction of disbelief (the officer has no clue who this guy in a spangled suit is), mistrust (what does he know?) and basic skepticism superheroes would be met with by most people.  Only once the officer sees Cap at work, how quickly he neutralizes the threat, does he accept Steve’s orders and begin issuing them himself.  Like Doubting Thomas, he needs visual evidence and actions before he can come to terms with what’s happening. 

8. “I’m in the system?” – Luis in Antman

Sidekicks are the best and Luis is the pinnacle of perfection.  Think about it; he befriends Scott Lang in prison, helps him through his time behind bars. He’s there when Scott gets out, gives him a place to live, lets him borrow his car.  When they rob Hank Pym’s house, he’s in the get-away van; when Scott decides to turn hero, Luis dons his uniform and plays his part, even going back to rescue the guard he’d knocked out.  It’s Luis who knows a guy who knows a girl who heard about the Avengers’ compound and the part they need.  He always has Scott’s back, accepting the wacky hijinks with a smile and a long-winded story.  We would all be lucky to be as exemplary a sidekick as Luis. 

7. “We are vegetarians” – M’Baku in Black Panther

He’s the leader of the J’Bari, a mighty warrior, a keeper of tradition, and entirely human. M’Baku has no time for royalty or superheroes. What he wants is to be respected and to keep Wakanda and his people safe and free … even if that means turning down the heart-shaped flower and saving his rival T’Challa. This scene sums up M’Baku in an ad-libbed line that cracks me up every time I watch it.  M’Baku is a fully realized character who isn’t impressed with all the posturing that happens in a world of superheroes; he makes a joke out of it instead.  

Plus, this scene, like so much of Black Panther, is layered with the history of colonialism and racism; M’Baku barking at the CIA representative is more than funny, it’s a reclaiming of self-agency. 

6. Peggy almost touches Steve – Captain America: The First Avenger

Another unplanned moment, the furtive hand movement from Peggy Carter as Steve emerges from the pod is sweet, funny, and so very poignant.  Peggy is a woman in a man’s world; she knows her value, is ready to punch her way out of situations and has battled to be where she is. It’s such a telling slip, reaching out to see if he’s real, if he’s okay, if he’s still Steve.  All the yearning pent up in one action, the knowledge that the young man she’s grown fond of is now changed forever. You can see it in the way she heaves a breath in the second gif, like she’s been through the process herself. This is the moment, with the others celebrating the scientific breakthrough, where Peggy realizes just how screwed she is to be falling in love with a superhero. 

5. “Yes, I did” – Darcy Lewis in Thor

There are so many Darcy moments to choose from.  “Still muscly.”  “I’m not dying for three college credits.”  “Give me your shoe.”  But this moment, when she proudly admits she tasered Thor, the guy who fell from the sky, is when we knew Darcy Lewis was a ‘take-no-shit’ type of person who will deal with what’s happening and worry about it later.  She’s not impressed by superheroes, but, unlike M’Baku, she’s a small woman who relies upon her wits, her smart mouth, and pure luck.  She’s not a genius like Jane Foster, not a fighter like Peggy Carter, she’s just plain Darcy and that’s what makes her strength of will so damn amazing in the MCU.

4. “No” – Sam Wilson in Captain America: Civil War

From the moment Sam jogs his way, slowly but steadily, into the MCU, he never doubts that his job is to skewer the egos of all these super-powered people, make sure they never forget their goal is to help others. From his invitation to eat breakfast “if you people do things like that” to making Natasha thank Redwing to asking T’challa if he likes cats to the fabulous fight scene at the airport with quips flying between him and Bucky, Sam is on equal footing from day one. Of all the scenes, this one in the car, when he’s literally inches in front of the Winter Soldier, a brainwashed assassin whose already tried to kill him twice, really shows just how confident Sam is of his own abilities, both as Falcon, but also as a caring person who’s trying to help Steve get Bucky back. 

3.  “For Wakanda? Without question” – Okoye in Black Panther

Okoye knows superheroes.  She is the Captain of the Guard of the Dorae Milaje and her job is to protect the King of Wakanda, the Black Panther.  She could have been rigid, unyielding, a follower of the rule of law … and she is all those things, but she’s also very human, a woman who had to choose between the man she loves and the King she serves.  She’s funny, loyal, unfazed by super soldiers and magic-wielding witches.  She side-eyes Bruce Banner when he trips in the Hulkbuster armor, fights flawlessly in an evening gown, and stays true to her convictions even in the face of King Killmonger’s reign. To Okoye, those with superpowers have a great responsibility to protect others and she’s not afraid to call them on the carpet if need be.  

This scene is revolutionary because of the idea of a woman who doesn’t put romantic entanglements first, who, like male heroes, is willing to sacrifice everything for what she believes in.

2. “Don’t waste your life” – Yinsen in Iron Man

God, I teared up just looking at these gifs. Ho Yinsen, a scientist, husband, father, man who just wanted to do some good in the world. Caught in the midst of such violence and faced with the man whose company built the weapons that killed his family, the man who once ignored him and his ideas. This moment. This fucking moment when he’s dying, has always known that he would die, understood just how small a part he was going to play in the larger-than-life story of Tony Stark. How do I get to be this type of person who not only accepts who he is and what he’s not, but uses his precious few seconds on the world’s stage to change the future? Make no mistake, it’s because of Yinsen that Iron Man exists, that Tony builds the arc reactor, saves himself, saves New York, saves the whole world, saves the fucking universe.  One regular human guy who saw the potential in Tony and made the ultimate sacrifice. 

Ho Yinsen. 

1. “Captain’s Orders” – Cameron Klein in Captain America: Winter Soldier

Of all the moments in the MCU, it’s this one where I see myself the most, the little peon at their computer who suddenly is thrust into the middle of a superpowered battle and has to make a choice between life and death. He knows, knows that he’s dead, that Rumlow will shoot him and push the button anyway. Look, I’m not a brilliant scientist or a warrior or a military officer; I’m not going to be the one fighting beside Steve or laughing at T’Challa or tasing Thor; I’m Cameron Klein and I hope to God that if that moment ever comes where there’s a gun to my head that I can say “Captain’s orders” and refuse. He’s one of the many faceless S.H.I.E.L.D. employees who work at a desk or cafeteria or mailroom, doing their jobs, only to be injured, have their lives destroyed or die when the Triskelion falls or when Hawkeye attacks the Helicarrier or when their names are revealed on the internet.

Cameron is #1 because he’s me, the small cog in the wheel that got caught when the machine gave way.  He said no without having the power to fight back or to change anything … but he did it anyway.
