I'd love to see more from the less explored JSA characters. When you think about it, the original Mister Terrific should be a powerhouse to rival even Batman. His cameo in the JSA story where they all travel time was pretty baller.

Also JSA will always be cool for its implementation of legacy characters. It's always unique enough where every character has their own spin to them that still resonates with the hero they base themselves off of without it ever coming off as fanfiction. Top tier stuff

Well, there's always the inspiration for the Robinson/Johns JSA run, The Golden Age. Hitler fighting, Alan Scott badassery, lesser-known JSA members, and heroes who aren't even part of the JSA, like Robotman and Captain Comet.

What's that, you say? Never heard of it? Well, as it just so happens, I have an underused 4chan pass, and a copy right here...

And here we have Manhunter, one of the few characters whose comic history rivals Hawkman for horrible over-complexity. (Though, I have the Kate Spencer run here, which I may storytime later.)

Every Green Lantern has this speech at some point. (And Kyle Rayner, Alan's quasi-protege, gives it every year or two.)

Random fact: In Doom Patrol, Robotman dated one of the first transgender characters / superheroines in comics, Kate Godwin, aka Coagula.

was the Lightning Saga any good? This is from the Lightning Saga right?

Yeah, that's Lightning Saga. And it was a fairly solid story, though the ending is a bit weak - definitely felt like one of those stories where they didn't know who they wanted to bring back until just before publication.

>>88571873
ah thanks, I'm a bit iffy with getting that era of the League, I still want to get it since it has some JSA issues. Speaking of which, are the Liberty Files any food?

You know, I didn't even know there WAS another Robotman. That Robotman was Cliff Steele. The one featured in this story is apparently Bob Crane.

Between Ted Knight thinking his radiation jumpstarted an age of empowered humans, and an irradiated bomb blast in the desert, it kinda feels like we're veering into classic Marvel territory here.

Don't do Miraclo, kids. Sure, it starts off fun, grandstanding and smacking around a few street punks. But then you need more, for longer. Before long, you're bathing in Bio-Restorative Formula, or shooting Velocity 9 into your scrotum. And if all that doesn't kill you, you'll end up robbing kindly scientists for their secret serums. Don't be the Sentry. Get your powers the right way - by irradiating animals and letting them bite you.

I'm serious about the Captain Triumph/Captain Marvel rivalry thing. Billy Batson gets to fight with the wisdom of Solomon whispering in his ear, against the guy whose better angel is telling him to go find a hooker.

I once had a thought about how a Captain Triumph legacy hero would work. My idea was that the ghost brother would be passed down from father to child for a few generations until you have a modern day guy who has that creepy 1940's asshole urging him to succumb to his base desires while also giving him super powers. Like a super powered devil on your shoulder.

I think he's an interesting character. I mean, his backstory is pretty fucking hardcore. He paid the price for his genius and became empty at the age of 20 and thus wanted to kill himself. That's pretty fucking dark.

I could see that working. Maybe the ghost messed with some occult objects he wasn't supposed to back when he was alive, and as a result, his entire bloodline got screwed. Or, deal with the devil gone bad, if you wanna go for the mirroring Captain Marvel route.

This may be the only misstep in the art in the entire miniseries. It's okay, though, Alan Scott's costume is damn hard to do justice to.

And that's The Golden Age. I hope people enjoyed it.

Do you think that DC's golden age superhero characters, like the Justice Society, should mix and interact with DC's war characters, like Sgt. Rock or G.I. Robot? Yes or no, and why?
