The now NEW Official DC Stupid Questions thread: Didio Headaches

WompuM likes pig thighs and butts, purple monkey dishwasher, pass it on.

BrianWilly, question, or anyone. I remembered randomly a Kyle issue of GL, where he gave green legs to some amputee, and as the guy was climbing the statue of liberty, he cuts himself and his legs disappear, and he vows revenge or something. This is also an issue where Kyle uses the shark from Jaws to fight some sound powered villain. Anyway, whatever became of the amputee?

I heard this rumor that DC would changing up Wally's costume so that the only thing separates their characterization won't be the lighting bolt around the waist? Is this going to happen by the end of Rebirth???

You *****. You made me laugh.

Tis true, but we don't know what'll look like.

Heh. Nothing came of it.

Seriously, nothing ever came of it.

I mean, like, nothing. It was completely forgotten.

 

[WompuM]

Not by me BeeDuby. Not by me. Maybe that guy is Libra?

 

[Manic]

Didn't they reveal Libra's identity? I can't for the life of me remember who it was, but I remember someone mentioning some name I didn't care about.

 

[WompuM]

Libra is Libra.

 

[yenaled]

He ended up being Libra.

 

[Manic]

Really? I always assumed Libra didn't really exist so much as he was some weird metaphysical entity that served Darkseid, but I'd heard that he used to be human somewhere.

 

[yenaled]

He was in an issue of JLA in the 70s where at the end he turned into the metaphysical embodiment of the universe. So in Final Crisis he came to Earth to basically be Darksied's announcer.

 

[WompuM]

Yeah, guy liked telescopes.

 

[yenaled]

Has Happy Harbour shown up in anything since the Young Justice and Hourman days?

 

[mikethought]

Heh. Nothing came of it.

That's not what happened.

 

[yenaled]

That's not what happened.

When answering please show your working.

 

[WompuM]

That's not what happened.

Well then what happened then?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, dude, don't leave us hanging. What happened?

 

[BrianWilly]

Hah. You know what? He's right. That's not what happened.

What happened was so stupid I guess I blocked it from my brain.

 

[Drakon]

Ah. Well, then. Good work.

 

[Anubis]

Wow, that's f**ked up.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

What age is Tim Drake now?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'd put him around 18, same as Cassie and maybe Connor

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

He looks super beefed at Red Robin. No issues from Batman have been released here for a long while, so I gotta order. How are people's reactions towards Drake as Red Robin and Damien(Only got to read one issue where he fights Drake in the batcave).

I've just finished reading the Teen Titans volume where Beast Boy is framed for murder by a mysterious stranger who takes his appearance(who of course turns out to be Gemini, daughter of Madame Rouge whom he inadvertently killed). There are a number of things that seem not to make sense to me- wouldn't Beast Boy realize that he was being impersonated by another shape shifter-and there are only SO many in the whole DCU? Also when he discovers that Gemini is behind his framing, he mistakes her for her mother(presumably come back to life- despite the fact that he must seen Madame Rouge's dead body and the fact of death being medically verified-assuming that a metamorph like her can be declared legally dead?). Gemini goes on about her mother's life and her own birth but makes no reference to her father. Also since Rouge explicitly forgave Beast Boy before she died, regretting her criminal career, shouldn't that have been good enough for Gemini(who of course had inherited not just her mother's shapeshifting abilities but also her mental instability) to say"let bygones be bygones".
In one scene, Beast Boy morphs into a rhino and smashes into Gemini( who is fortunate not to be impaled on the beast's horns or be crushed to a pulp- as she would were it not for her ductile body)- as he tries this trick twice, wouldn't it be obvious that it was ineffective( Gemini's recuperative abilities seem to cancel out any injury caused by impact). "You can't beat me..I've trained my entire life for this!" she cries. "But I, young Jedi, am the master!" is his reply "You wish- I'm better than you'll EVER be!" she retorts. As age and experience usually count for more than youth and relative experience(How OLD was Gemini at the time anyway- barely a legal adult) it's NOT surprising that he won!
