Just an autistic Northerner who's a nerd for comics & telly shows. I'll occasionally pitch ideas I've got or talk bout any other random bollocks I conjur up & am arsed to type.

Just finished the Fear Street trilogy & I've had a lal thought. Back in '78, did Sheila die? When Tommy rocked up to the toilets, seemingly leaves after beheading Gary & gaing after Ziggy. It doesn't really matter but it just stuck in me mind for a bit.

I feel like it's pretty safe to say that the JSA would be, at bare minimum, named. Possibly The Losers as well. As like high-profile superheroes & soldiers respectively.

And maybe a brief mention of an army corp with a gorilla as a member.
Now, he was referenced in Peacemaker but that was just a gorilla with the same name. Like with the Squad & Commandos, it's not necessary but it'd still be pretty fun to throw him in.

Me personal favourites would be referencing the original incarnations of the Suicide Squad & Creature Commandos.
Now, this doesn't av to appen but it'd be cool, though. Like maybe some brief mentions as people they worked with or heard about.

Thought bout the Sgt Rock film & the possible cameos within it.
Now I'm not saying it should be chocked full of em. Just some lal teases & allusions & that.

And finally we've got Crane Style.
A Chinese scouser with the bird powers no one really wants. Mainly the scaly legs but also the mannerisms & personality of yan.
She tries to exude this hardened bravado but that's sorta detracted with her lal head twitches & love of seeds.

Then, after a few years as a quartet, Inhaler joined the scene. He's a pretty quiet lad, only saying like one sentence per issue if necessary, and cuts straight to the point.
The whole sublimination thing, which means he can control & become any type of gas.

A big difference between the Legends & the Crusaders is the fact that they added a new member much more quickly with the introduction of Scab back in secondary school.
While not the direct foil to Blacksmith, they are similar in their commitment to the whole hero career. Occasionally gaing solo.

And, like with the Crusaders, we av the initial team completed with Bogle.
You know the Hellboy story The Corspe? Imagine if a legally distinct Hellboy was a bit late, allowing the child to absorb a whole lot of fae magic. Now that child moved to Cumbria & became a hero with her mates.

Yan being Pickpocket.
The seventh son of a seventh son, destined to receive great powers & an adventurous future. That was until his older sister came out as trans & technically became the seventh son. It's still not a total loss, though. He's still got access to a litany of enchanted goods.

Starting things off with the leader, Saddleback.
A geokinetic & former sidekick of Blencathra. He'd also previously headed a whole team of sidekicks known as the Super Youths before getting kicked out. Then he started the Legends along with his three mates.

Fuck it, I'm bringing me lal Cumbriverse back. Or at least finish the hypothetical first volume storyline.
The main thread/threat is an equally up & coming group on the villain side. The Jungle Crew. A group of primate-based villains lead by me version of Gorilla Grodd, Ginge the psychic orangutan.

I've got a lal superhero universe I've kept on the backburner. These lot are yan of many Justice League pastiches dubbed the Light Brigade. A group of light-based heroes, who're also all queer. Well, except for The Halo but she's a really supportive ally.

Doesn't av to be in the DCU, but I'd love it if an adaptation of Vandal Savage could look more like a caveman. Not dissimilar to Robin off of Ghosts UK.

But me new idea is to make a possible Infinity War/Endgame for DC with Blackest Night/Brightest Day.
Then you could av the zombie Black Lantern Bommer and also the resurrected White Lantern Boomer, too. With the option of properly bringing him back. If James is so inclined, like.

Admittedly, Owen Mercer could just be put into this world. Either in a Flash/Rogues project or possibly utilised somewhere else.

Speaking of BATB, and DCU Batman in general, I don't want another adaptation of Under the Red Hood. Feel like that story was already adapted as well as it can be.
Instead I wanna reference Morrison's Batman run more & adapt their Red Hood story. Which can be teased well if we get Pyg in BATB.

I think Brave and the Bold should take inspiration from both Batman and Son & Grant Morrison's first arc in their Batman and Robin run.
Maybe make it so Talia & the League of Assassins privately funded Professor Pyg and his circus freaks as a diversion or sommat.
Either way, I want Man-Bat ninjas.

Also also, his role in Earth One is he's the mechanic in the cave. And another person who fits that archetype is Harold Allnut, the mute hunchback Bruce befriended I think round the 80s/90s. And I'd legit wanna see him adapted & I rhink it'll make sense to put him in the DCU with a seasoned Batman.

Also, this can allow the DCU to use a more reptilian design for Croc & possibly make him more villainous.
While the Reevesverse Waylon can be more sympathetic & a grounded appearance. Possibly similar to BTAS's Killer Croc, grey bumpy skin as opposed to proper scales.

I'd love for Killer Croc to be in The Batman Part II. I feel like it's been teased, albeit unintentionally, with the flooding of Gotham.
I'd also love it if Reeves decides to take more from Batman Earth One & use that version of Waylon. Mayhe making him a part of that Bat Family.

Kinda disappointed we didn't get to see any of these villains in Fantastic Four: First Steps.
I understand the film wasn't about em but still, I imagine this could've been done. Hopefully we can see em later on.

We can probably av our cake & eat it too with the Thunderbolts.
I imagine the New Avengers could relate to some of the villains. So they'd pitch sommat called the Thunderbolts Initiative.
It can be like the Luke Cage era of the team where it's bout the reformation of villains/anti-heroes.
