A Proposal For Chracter Donations

The Last part of my New Avengers post is on delay due to technical difficulties, so if anyone can tell me how you control where in your post the image goes, just put that in the comments section if you please.

Re: Your character Donations to Marvel

While I appreciate these kind donations and your attempts to enrich the Marvel Universe, I'm afraid I can't accept charity. I would however, like to propose a trade. I will accept all the characters you have donated so far, with out even asking for a complete list if you meet three criteria.

1. I have carte blanche to do with them as I see fit.

2. You agree to make The Ray and Damage full-time members of the Teen Titans, post-Infinite Crisis.

3. You have to take Jean Grey, Cyclops, Hank Pym, and the Scarlet Witch, and you're free to do with them as you wish.

I await your response.

Screw that, for all his being fucked up Hank Pym is still worthy of sticking around.

I urge Scipio to consider this.

Scarlet Witch, as is, is a worthy addition to the DCU. We are in need of a new Parallax.

Jean Grey is clearly an alternate universe version of Wonder Girl, so we can just add her to the pile until we get a change to integrate her.

Hank Pym can only be a villain. He hit a woman, who did not hit him first. And he has a dumb name -- "Ant-Man" All he needs is a horrifically colored costume and he'll be perfect for background scenes when villains gather. He can replace the late Rainbow Raider.

Cyclops can replace Airwave as the JSA's resident "Hero in Distress." Every two years a story arc in JSA will include rescuing Scott from someone evil who is trying to use him. Otherwise, he will not appear. Airwave will be promoted to "Kid Sidekick" in the Green Lantern Dynasty (where Kyle is actually the Junior Counterpart, anyway)

I second Cyclops. :-) Airwave is tired. Especially as he's connected to Hal, not Alan.

If integrating Jean Grey and Donna Troy means only one, I'm all for it.

"Jean Grey, Cyclops, Hank Pym, and the Scarlet Witch."

Hm. Is there anything about those characters that makes them fit in better at DC than at Marvel?

They seem very "Marvelesque" to me...

CalvinPitt said...

I don't know that's there is anything that makes them fit better at DC, I just want them out of Marvel. And Jean and Wanda seem to fit the "more powerful character" mold that DC has.

Actually, could you take the Sentry too? It could turn he's actually Old Superman in disguise, and so it wouldn't tarnish the name "Superman" by making one of them evil, because it's just some cheap knock-off trying to destroy the DC Universe.

And what about The Ray and Damage? Will you acceed to my request?

Okay, to put images into your posts should be fairly easy. There should be a button for putting images into your posts on the page where you make the post. It's a little button that looks like a photo of a hill or something. If this button doesn't work, then you need to allow pop-ups from Blogger; you can do this from the Tools or Edit menu of your browser.

Follow the on-screen directions in the pop-up window. It's fairly self-explanatory.

You'll come back to your post, and there'll be a big chunk of HTML coding probably at the top of your post. Most of it is garbage, but we don't need to deal with that here. Simply copy and paste the HTML and put it in the post where you'd like it to appear. Remember to delete the original code from the top of the post.

Repeat for each picture you want to include, remembering that it will probably appear at the top of your post each time.

(I think it's supposed to appear wherever the cursor is in the post, but that's never worked for me.)

Any other questions, let me know.

Actually, I've always thought Cyclops had a very DC-ish feel to him. He's more a figure of authority striving for an ideal than a rebellious revolutionary. Which I theorize is why *I* tend to like him where most Marvel fans don't.

That and I see a lot of leadership similarities between Scott and say Tim Drake leading Young Justice or the Teen Titans.

We need Hank Pym in the marvel universe!

Where will all the giant-men get their powers from! Not Pym particles I tell you that!

Where will Marvel get there supply of evil robots? Evil robots that can be reprogramed to act like Santa Clause!

And the single strongest reason to keep Hank Pym around. With out him we would have never had Scott Lang, my single faveriot B-lister and whose daughter is the main cause I read Young Avengers!

CalvinPitt said...

Well, mallet, it's not like I'm wiping them from the history of the Marvel Universe, just that through some sort of dimensional/space-time tear, they will be taken from the present and shifted across to the DC Universe. I sure Stark or Reed Richards has the formula for Pym particles on file somewhere. The eggheads love to get together and share ideas.

Cyclops would actually fit in DC pretty well. A young 'Slim' would fit into the Legion of SH while the adult leader Cyclops could be a reserve JLA member ala Steel.
