Scott Summers...

Early Scott Summers? Hey, they were all teenagers.

These days, I sure as hell don't think he whines. But then, he's also The Dude IMO, so hey.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

who were prominent DC teens?

Back in the day there were lots of sidekicks, but they pretty much all ended up in the Titans if they were kept around for any length of time. Teen angst was ALWAYS more of a Marvel thing.

and really, whining around Batman? Not good idea

Hee, it's funny 'cause it's true.

Hey, MM, when you get in, email me.

My mail to your profile address bounced, which makes it hard to attempt to deal you comics crack.

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

Well, there's always Books Of Magic for DC(ish) teen angst now.

I understand each word, but in relation to Scott Summers they make no sense.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Legion. I've never read it, but other people describe it as more or less like highschool.

Ayup.

I've only read the ones with Superboy, and they SUCK. In a cheesy retro way, but they're pretty bad.

Whining?

Upgrade.

IJS.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

The Legion. I've never read it, but other people describe it as more or less like highschool.

Well, yes, but IN SPACE! And FROM THE FUTURE!

And COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS, but still.

I found a few recent JLAs online (bless you, filesharing clients, and all who sail in you) that look kinda neat. Confusing, because I only have ever third issue or so from what appear to be at least four different story arcs, but still interesting. There's a Nightwing bit in one that about killed me, and I no longer consider Plastic Man a complete joke of a superhero.

Well, you have to cut Plas some slack. His trip to the DC-verse was longer and stranger than most.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Occasionally. The early stories certainly. Later in the original run it was mentioned that they were in their twenties, but still looked like teens and were considered youths because the life span in the thirtieth century is just much longer than now. They've had their continuity wrecked four times since then, so it's possible that's changed.
