Crime Syndicate of America

[Langoth]

Am I the only one that thinks these guys should pop up again?

Spoiler

I know that Ultraman is apparently rumored to pop up somewhere, but I mean just in general.

Will we be seeing a post IC Crime Syndicate anytime soon? Or do you guys think no?

 

[Anubis]

I hope so. I'd like to see a full Crime Syndicate. One with they're own White Martian, a Firestorm, etc. They should have they're own mini.

 

[The Question]

I'd love to see some stories about the heroes of the Crime Syndicate Universe. A heroic Joker and Riddler acting as less than successful (but very entertaining) vigilantes in Gotham, the Teen Titans being a gang of juvinile delinquents sitting around one of their moms' basements drinking beer and occasionally going outside and commiting acts of vandalism, Blue Beetle being alive, and so on.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, i'd love to get a real indepth look at the mirror universe.

 

[The Question]

And I'd love to write it. I've love thinking out stuff like that. If I ever worked at DC, I'd pitch an idea for an ongoing series that takes a look at the Crime Syndicate universe. Some issues would be comedic, some would be serious, some would be scie fi, some would be crime drama, some would be fantasy, and so on. And I would have to re-create the Guy Gardner/Batman "One Punch" scene with The Joker and Deathstroke.

The Riddler, known as Quizmaster, was actually the leader of the Justice Underground. He kicked all kinds of ass. He used his intellegence to teach himself how to become one of the deadliest martial artists ever. Man that was sweet. His version of the Justice League was basically the Legion of Doom too.

 

[The Question]

Yeah. I actually had a story in mind that would have Quizmaster and The Jester (they're version of The Joker) just starting out. It would be about a week after Eddy decided to fight crime, so he wasn't an uber badass yet. Just a nerd in a green suit and a bowler. The story would just be him and The Jester walking around the city, trying to fight crime, and talking. Later issues would show how he grew as a character and became the badass Chuck Norris/Macguyver hybrid we've met. It basically came with years of trial and error.

 

[The Leaguer]

Ultraman is in Supergirl right now.

 

[jaydawg]

Dude, you're not supposed to mention Supergirl. Its a rule.

 

[The Leaguer]

Supergirl.

 

[Stealth_Prime]

How about a team up where CSA teams up with Superboy Prime.....

No holding back...
Nothing corny....
Just everyone using their abilities to the max.....

Doesn anyone think the DC universe would still exist?

 

[The Leaguer]

There are a lot of people who should, theoretically, be able to stop a team like that with ease.

 

[Assassin]

Supergirl could stop a team like that if she's written by loeb

 

[Silicon Surfer]

When the Crime Syndicate first came out in the early 60's it was established that they were the only super beings on their world and there were no heroes at all. The Syndicate had killed everyone who could possibly challenge them.

 

[Harlekin]

Yeah, things have changed since then.

 

[Stealth_Prime]

So we have one corrupt and evil Superboy....
5 individually superpowered beings

All of whom are willing to use their powers to kill and destroy....

None are holding back....

And you think Supergirl and some others have a chance???? Like who, G'nort?

Okay, given the credibility of the modern meta-humans...okay, I'll let that go...

But imagine if the CSA had their version of Superman One Million??? (who in the current positive universe could punch a hole in time and space....

Wouldn't he be considered a threat???

Though it happened off camera,....

Supergirl was sarcasm, but yes, I can actually think of a team that could stop that. It'd be a very large team, but it's possible.

 

[Darthphere]

Sure why not.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You guys are crazy. What, do you think the heroes from the main DC universe fight super-powered people who try to kill them without holding back every day or something? Come on.

 

[boywondernerdDC]

CSA needs a mini

 

[The Question]

CSA needs an ongoing series chronicling the history of their world.

or that

 

[Stealth_Prime]

Yeah...I like that....give us more of an idea how their world works.....also wonder if lust is just as available over there as crime and corruption. So I guess if good is their version for evil...then **** is equvalant to a nun...and lust/sex is equvalent to innocence or virgin.

 

[The Question]

I suppose. The Crime Syndticate aren't considered to be heroes by the people of their world. They're still highly dangerous and hated criminals. They just control enough of organized crime and have enough poloticians in their pockets to enable them to do as they please.
