I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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

Superboy is (deep breath, this is a long one) the teenaged clone of Superman, artificially aged in a tube, who actually only has 50% of Superman's DNA because of some silly handwaved comic book science; the other half of his DNA comes from Lex Luthor.

Yes, that's right, Superboy Has Two Daddies. This is *canon,* people.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

He was created, as I recall, during the Death of Superman arc. He only recently found out that the human half of his DNA comes from Luthor, and hasn't, as far as I've read, told Clark.

(You know, there are articles on user behavior I could be memorizing instead of frickin' Superman canon! I worry myself.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sure, but leaving aside the whole "making a living" thing, why on earth would you want to do that?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I love when this thread is busy.

I'm going to attempt to hook Jilli. Pete should live in fear.

Exactly!

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

The Outsiders used to be a group of misfits run by Batman, which ran concurrently with The New Teen Titans.

Art by Alan Davis (who did the original Marvelman/Miracleman) - you can see it on the site upthread that I linked with Paul Smith's art.

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

Aside from Metamorpho, are any of the original Outsiders still around?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Black Lightning as appeared frequently, most recently in Outsiders and Green Arrow. Katanna appeared recently in "Batman/Superman" (No slash jokes, please. Too easy.)

How is Katana doing? How's her sword?

They did wrap up Halo's story, right? I don't remember how that shook out.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yes, that's right, Superboy Has Two Daddies.

Y'know, I've read that in this thread. Several times in fact. I must've suppressed the memory.
