The Stepford Cuckoos- Triplet blonds in a state of ageless adolescence sharing a mutant hive mind with one another and personally groomed by Emma Frost herself
Emma Frost- She's place a high value on her physical appearance and therefore makes an admirable effort to upkeep it, yet without descending to shallowness or vapidity. She's conceded, but only because she can afford to be. She may be cold towards most individuals, but she's fiercely loyal to her man and stands behind him, supporting him at every turn. What more can a man ask for?
Starfire-Red Hood and the Outlaws #1solidified my high opinion of Kory, not only in respect to how she was drawn, but in her personality as well. She's content with being a sex symbol instead of waging some feminism crusade for gender equality (as so often is the subtext behind "strong" female characters).
Hit-Girl- Chloe Mortez is destined to be a heart-breaker, and Mindy is exactly how I would want to raise a daughter were I ever to have one.
Ramona Flowers - She's a gorgeous gal full of personality being sought after by action stars and record producers and super-powered vegans but who still gives everyman Scott Pilgrim a chance.
Ya'wara- She probably doesn't deserve to be in the top five yet, but I like how Geoff Johns is positioning this character, particularly as a romantic rival to Mera for Arthur's affections.
Element Girl- Like Ya'wara, it's too early to make a call on the character, but I loved her bubbly personality and joyful innocence in Flashpoint.
Justice League Alpha would primarily respond to extraterrestrial threats, Beta to supernatural/mythological threats, Gamma to standard super-villainy and scientific anomalies, and Delta acts as covert operations.
Teams were chosen both for their conceptual symmetry, as well as the story-telling potential from conflicting personalities (e.g. Mera and Ya'wara, Batman and Jason Todd).
I would settle down with the Stepford Cuckoos, triplet blonds in a state of ageless adolescence sharing a mutant hive mind with one another and personally groomed by Emma Frost herself.
Buuut the back-up story in Action Comics #13 was close, along with some other moments here and there.
This was the first and only time I myself did cry (third time in my life being moved to tears by media, the first being Tolkien's Leaf by Niggle and the second being the end of Toy Story 3).
If you were given the chance to redesign Superman's suit, how would you go about doing so? Please include a picture, regardless of artistic abilities (as you can see from my sketch, I have very little, and absolutely cannot draw faces or hands).
My Superman suit is a fusion of the Action Comics jeans and tee-shirt appearance and Superior's costume.
The most noticeable redesign is to the "S" insignia, which is now bronze with bronze trim against a gold backdrop. The "S" itself has a more art-deco feel to it. Part of the cape attaches to the "S" shield, while the other part is attached to a medallion fused to the shirt (in order to keep the cape from flying off at high speeds). He wears a "champion" belt, again with two-tone bronze and gold, with an eagle emblem prominent on it (this should look more like the eagle from the Presidential Seal). Not shown are his brown leather combat boot, worn outside of his jeans (but only going up about halfway to his knees). Lastly his collar, which is part of the shirt (itself skin-tight and not cotton), is identical to that of Superior's.
I don't care if there are UK laws preventing this, or if it is just bad from! Kate Middleton, should play wonder woman.
She is pretty, graceful, stern (in training), athletic, smart, and all that stuff a princess of the 21 century needs
She has already been taught how to act like a princess, so this should come naturally, anything after that should be child's play
First off, she has not been trained to be a princess because she's not a princess. She's a duchess.
Secondly, she's merely above average in terms of physical attractiveness. I've dated better looking girls without the advantage of being heir to the British throne. One of Wonder Woman's most defining features is her stunning beauty, and she requires an actress who can convey such.
Are there any particular artists whom you hate drawing a certain character, to the point where you question whether or not to buy a book by your favorite writer, but alternatively consider a great choice for drawing another character even to the point that you consider them the definitive artist on that character? For me there's...
I initially missed out on both All-Star Superman and Batman and Robin because I was so repelled by the art in the first issues of each (thank God I latter went back and bought the trades).

However, I absolutely love his work on Flex Mentallo, which instantly became my favorite comic story of all time (tied with Final Crisis).
At this point, I'm thinking that anyone not named John Byrne, Curt Swan, or Alex Ross just can't draw Superman (even Jim Lee struggles with the character in ways).
On the other hand, Gary Frank's Shazam back-ups in Justice League have him knocking it out of the park with every character on every panel.
I would say Superman is the single most worthy character to wield Mjolnir. Besides, if Wonder Woman was consider worthy of it in DC vs. Marvel Comics, then surely Superman is more worthy than her.
At the culmination of "Here Comes Tomorrow" Jean as the Phoenix amputated an entire timeline by telekinetically moving every atom in the universe (remember, the gravity of objects warps space-time, which itself is merely a manifold describing the relation between particles, so that reversing the path of every particle could conceivably allow the universe to "rewind," so long as Jean was able to also revert the universe to a previous state of lower entropy as well). If she found herself at the end of time, it seems that she could likewise escape outside of space-time to the White Hot Room and telekinetically restore the universe to a previous state of lower entropy in the past. So no, the Phoenix cannot be killed in this way.
I would have made the Justice League more akin to a highly organized super-human militia with a clear structure and hierarchy.
All members of the League would be said to belong to “The Pantheon.” This Pantheon would be broken into 12 divisions, with each division head belonging acting as the commanding field officers and general council, known as “The Olympians.” Of these Twelve, three are members of the executive council, known as “The Trinity.” The breakdown is as follows:
Superman – Head of the Metropolis Marvels, including Superboy and Supergirl
Batman – Head of the Gotham Knights, including Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl, and Huntress
Wonder Woman – Head of the Amazon Sisters, including Donna (of) Troy and Wonder Girl
Green Lantern – Head of the Emerald Warriors, including Guy Garner, Kyle Rayner, and Simon Baz
The Flash – Head of the Scarlet Speedsters, including Kid Flash (Wally West) and Impulse (Bart Allen)
Aquaman – Head of the New Others, including Mera, Aqualad (Jackson Hyde), the Operative, Prisoner of War, and Ya’wara
Martian Manhunter – Head of the Justice League Task Force, including Animal Man, Blue Beatle (Ted Kord), Booster Gold, and Captain Atom
Hawkman – Head of the Justice Society, including Alan Scott, Jay Garrick (who is straight), the Atom, Dr. Fate, Powergirl, Stargirl, and Hawkgirl
Green Arrow – Head of the Archers, including Black Canary and Arsenal
Captain Marvel – Head of the Marvel Family, including Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr.
Cyborg – Head of the Teen Titans, including Starfire, Beast Boy, and Raven
Firestorm – Head of the Justice League Black, including Steel, Batwing, John Stewart, and Black Lightning
Altogether there are 52 members of the Justice League
Among the twelve Olympians their order here represents their rank with respect to one another, especially while in the field or in active battle. Superman serves as the Chairman, Batman the Vice Chairman, and Wonder Woman as the Secretary.
Outside of the Justice League are entirely separate organizations such as the Superman Squad, Batman, Inc., and the Legion of Superheroes.
Nice roster bro! Maybe we can write some fan-fiction stories with what you have outlined.
As cool as that sound (which it really does), a fan fiction which gave sufficient panel time to that many characters would be a massive undertaking. As it is, I've already got three works which intended for publication in the pipeline.
An anthology of fairy-tails. Two are already complete (TheBeast and Beauty, a retelling ofBeauty and the Beastfrom the Beast's perspective, andAdonaïs and the Dragon, essentially the Gospel as a fairy-tale) and a third is well underway.
An interlinear children's Bible entitled Glossolalia with full illustrations accompanied by verses in English, Latin, and Greek (I minored in Ancient Languages in undergrad, and want to raise my son as a polyglot).
