Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Here's my list of the top DC Badasses:

It's not their specialty.

But I'd have to include Sgt. Rock, The Spectre (Jim Aparo version), Rorschach, that female drug dealer in that Alan Moore two-parter, Constantine, Cheshire, the mute Batgirl Cassandra Cain, Grace Choi from the Outsiders.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

X-23? Seriously? That's just fanservice. WhatEV. Also, Storm is badasser than Cyclops, so if he's on the list, she should be on the list.

DC's list needs Cassandra Cain and Death.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I stopped reading it after seeing Nick Fury came in the middle of the list below Eddie Brock. I assume sniktbub was #1?

Now tagless for your comfort.

X-23? Seriously?

@@. I think it's too soon to put the kid on that list.

I know I'm a bit of a fangirl, but the entire Marvel universe (all of them) is designed to make that a truism. It's hard to fight. The interesting part is #2-10.

X-23? Seriously?

If you wanted a shapely mutant teenager for a list of Marvel badasses, I'd think Illyana Rasputin would be your go-to girl. She came through a childhood that makes Batman's look like a 1960s Disney musical by comparison, and used to routinely creep members of the primary X-Men team out.

move out and draw fire

Mal and I just watched Under the Red Hood.

About halfway through, Mal decided that the character should be called "Robin Hood." I told him that was taken, so he suggested "Red Robin."

...I assume you know that's taken, too? (I wouldn't have a year ago, so: just checking.)

I started watching it last weekend and got bored after about half an hour. It seemed.. fine? For being a really predictable thing? I guess?

I watched that with Owen last week.

He was thrilled with the All-Robin issue of Tiny Titans we picked up today.

Ha! It's like you're raising him to be Teppy's best friend.
