Queer edition. Because I believe there are no bad characters only bad writers. Let’s workshop characters to make them more appealing or just add our own ideas for fun
>>153357118>I am not an Antifa member operating solo mom, I am a masked vigilante fighting real nazis.>Well the difference being that one is a job and the other is mental sickness!
>>153357118Most of my ideas are just them being face down and taking a massive cock up whatever hole is available.
>>153357118While Damien isn't queer he’s got: A queer predecessor: TimA queer best friend: JonA queer cousin: Kate KaneA queer aunt: Nyssa Al GhulA queer cousin: OP’s pic Even his mother Talia has bisexual orgies.
>>153357118He detransitions, realizes how incredibly cringe he was acting, and spends his life fighting groomers.
Featherweight is one of those characters whose so bad we're in an area of the modern culture war where both sides complain about the same problem from different angles. That's gonna be your starting point if you're legit.What is that problem? Literally everything about featherweight boils down to>Look at how cute and feminine she is, look at all that nonconforming alt fashion! She's such a queer girly girl!And she exists in no other context with an aesthetic which both sides agree is some kind of fetishization.The blatant first step is changing the aesthetic away from something you'd see on a livestream and into something you'd actually see on the street that wasn't in a red light district, at a pride parade, or otherwise part of a deliberate performing art.I have never met a transgender, transvestite, or regular woman, who cakes that much blush on without some kind of joke or sexual play.Hell, most transgendered women go for things like long skirts and loose fit to better present a feminine frame.
>>153357118She has a pussy now but she's still MTF.
>>153357829An angel lost her wings
>>153357118Alright so they are in an alternate universe with high tech shit and magic right? So, rather than having to struggle with gender identity, they could just have themselves genetically or magically modified to be the actual gender they want down to the way their brain works.
>>153357118realizes her real contribution to socity is being a sex slave for desperate perverts
I don't see the problem. She punches stuff, she misses her mom. The only thing weird is that she only seems to wear thigh highs
>>153358340who does she punch?
I imagine an internal conflict between different factions of the League of Shadows taking place in Gotham and Bludhaven, with the femboy accidentally leading one of the groups. That would be interesting. The outfit can appear later, just put the character in interesting situations first.
>>153358402She punched a door at the Watchtower. She punched that car during that riot.
>>153358485doesn't sound like she's very good at her job
>>153357498
>>153357118>that outfitI guess just wrapping yourself in a trans flag wouldn't get the point across.
>>153358503Did you read the comic she's in? She's very good at her job. Nothing in that comic, her only appearance so far , is objectionable.
>>153358636no I didn't read it. That's why I asked who she punched, so far.
>>153357829don't do this to me.
>>153357118This is a chaser character so should be a femboy cocksleeve for manly characters and look less like a dude in a skirt and more like a girl who says she has a penis, because they'll never actually show it.
>>153359077Sucking cocks behind interstate gas stations for five bucks to collect intel about a target, that kind of thing.
>>153357712Featherweight was entirely inoffensive until people who weren't actually even reading the comic found out on twitter that he existed and got really angry about it. >The blatant first step is changing the aesthetic away from something you'd see on a livestream Bad take. Eccentric teens have been dressing like this for decades. I knew kids in high school in the 00s who dressed exactly like this. The raver/weeb crowd, and also the emo crowd if she swapped the pink out for red. My fourteen year old niece has friends who dress like this. This wouldn't be an unrealistic look even in a grounded, realistic comic, let alone a fucking DC comic where weirdly dressed criminals, vigilantes and even government employees are everywhere.
>>153359353let's make the character to be naked all the time, or wearing a microbikini. What about that what do you say. And you can see the bulge, of course.
Opinions on Dreamer?
>>153360292She got screwed by Waller
>>153359353>we dressed him like your typical attention whore teenagerbravo
>>153360292no bulgeno interest
>>153357118Tranny characters by their very nature can’t be appealing. The point of them is to effectively function as propaganda to try and get people to accept their mental illness.
>>153358145Sorry but I'm into pussy.
>>153359353We're gonna set the aesthetics aside for a moment. The actual main issue is Featherweight is part of, and possible heir to, a global criminal organization dedicated to the mass culling of humanity and ruling over the survivors with an iron fist and so everything we've seen so far is downwind of that.
>>153362268But Feather was born into the cult, that’s the key. The character has a legitimate claim for a top seat in the the organization by birthright, but that doesn’t mean has to agree with everything.
>>153357829So HE doesnt have a pussy. HE has an axe wound.
>>153362268Just think about the Merovigian Maior Domus situation, or the Wars of the Diadochi and replace old man Ras with Alexander the Great. You have a great framework there. Lot of fun.
>>153362930This whole conflict would be over if Feather were a femboy.
>>153357118Nah I just make them one notes walking jokes. That's the only way they're accepted
>>153362997That's a good idea. It helps build a small, loyal audience gradually. Every time I read something, I look forward to a drawing of my favorite minor character. Also increases appetite but is not obstructive for the rest of the audience.
>>153361345>Tranny characters by their very nature can’t be appealingDanny the Street.
>>153360292>no bulgedropped
>>153361163>>153363166Is that really your highest metric of judgement
>>153363411It's a matter of principles.
>>153357118im not trying to stir any sort of political shit here. why do trans people, usually MtF, advertise the fact that they're trans? If you want people to see you as a woman, what's the reason for advertising that you weren't born as one?
>>153363411what else would I judge trannies on?
>>153363656A character should shine by his or her own merits.
>>153363656because it's all bullshit. They have a "gender" in place of a personality
>>15336368499% of women's merits are on their appearance though, why would any man strive for medicrity
>>153363695I concur. They should get rid of that as a trait.
>>153363411Not the highest metric, but fundamental all the same.
>>153363656>im not trying to stir any sort of political shit herekek
>>153357118My dick goes in they/them’s mouth
>>153364123multiple holes!
>>153357118Trannies aren't appealing. Neither is being preached at. So make him an actual woman and have the character do actual shit.
>>153363554What principles? Your hormones,
>>153364664>>Trannies aren't appealing.slutty traps are. That's what he should be.>>Neither is being preached at.this is true, hence he should just be a slutty trap
>>153357118anyone have the image of trans basedjak in the basment with piss stained panties and shitty dildos?this is all that character reminded me of.
>>153357118I want Alya's dick in my mouth full homo
>>153357712>SheHeAnd the funny thing is that he acts and dresses like the most realistic tranny in a comic
>>153357118I have an original speedster I am writing and I am convinced that with his balancing and personality and backstory, he quickly become one of the best speedsters in comicbook history. I balanced his abilities to the point where a writer wouldn't need to come up with dumb reasons why he couldn't just instantly solve every plot and he is still allowed to go faster than light. I have done my research and there is no other comicbook speed based person that does what he does, whether it be DC, Marvel, and all of what I have researched in Manga. I am actually surprised that my idea is original and that no other writer found this easy solution to the speedster problemI wish I could share him without worrying about someone stealing my idea. What do I do to get genuine criticism from strangers without risking having it stolen?
>>153366267>like the most realistic tranny in a comicread more comics you fucking zoomer.
>>153363554 https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=15404226&tags=nia_nal+ Here. Happy?
>>153360292She's alright, she has a struggle that isn't about being trans and is allowed by her main writer to get into shenanigans and have complicated relationships with other characters instead of everybody loving/hating her for no reason or everything going perfectly for herAlso she somehow managed to make Jon's boyfriend slightly more compelling which is a positive
>>153367227I mean one of her big struggles is that she inherited the Dreamer powers that would have gone to her sister since they traditionally go to daughters in a matrilineal succession, but somehow they went to her and that has strained her relationship with her sisterSo it's not not about her being trans
>wah I suck and everybody but Batman hates me because I'm not Hal>wah I don't know why my girlfriends keep getting mad at me, all I do is treat them like shit half the time? so doesn't seem that serious>wah all these girls wanna fuck me and all my girlfriends are dead>wah I have too power that I don't know what to do with>anime boobies yayMake Kyle a good character, anons.
>>153367256I'm talking more about the Waller stuff and the Jon/Jay stuff
oh boy yum yum I wonder what this 'girl' has under 'her' skirt. I hope it's vagina and not, you know, cock.
>>153367272Waller is interesting as a main enemy of Dreamer because it makes sense. Of course Waller wants to control someone who can spy on people’s dreams. Honestly I’m surprised more villains haven’t tried to extort/blackmail/mind control Dreamer for that exact reason. Since this is a co workshop thread I wonder if that can be explored? Doctor Destiny would make for a great nemesis for her
>>153367263Absolute Universe seems to have the right idea making him a little monstrous. Maybe give him a more unstable ring that’s stronger but at a cost
>>153367462Kyle isn't in Absolute yet.
An interesting transgender superhero take could focus on the sometimes ignored public-persona/celebrity part of the superhero metaphor that's usually ignored to focus on superheroes as metaphors for cops or revolutionaries or what-have-you. Someone who saves hundreds of lives, publicly going through a transition, would garner alot of attention and lead to them going through some interesting shit as a result.
>>153367518All lanterns in absolute are more monstrous
>>153367987Not really, only the black lanterns.
>>153357118transgender characters only work if you make them hot and don't write them like a walking talking twitter post from circa 2015
Anyone remember Coagula? The first trans hero?
>>153357118how come they actually greenlit trannyman but cancelled snowflake, safespace, internet gas, penis sucker the vampire and dine-dasher?
>>153369855Featherweight is DC.You’re thinking Marvel.
I want to see somebody fucking dilate. I want to see neovagina surgery on screen and I want to see muffing. If you're going to shove tranny shit down my throat give me the real sicko shit. Add in superpowers and you have some REAL sicko shit. >The Thing using a jackhammer to remove his penis and dig out a vagina ditch >Reed Richards splitting his penis open like a flower or the monster from the Thing Give me some freak shit god damn
>>153364265FUCK YEAH!
>>153366267Purple hair can get it.
It's all moot because they're not drawn very attractively. I'd be fine with a cute tranny, a slutty trap or a nice femboy if DC or Marvel could hire an artist who'd make them look hot.
>>153371803that triggers the actual trannies.
>>153371330That would last two issues
>>153371803Just do what Japan does. Take a girl design and just say it’s a guy.
>>153372056Exactly, is that easy.
Holly Parker. Got the surgery and everything. Damn shame she died.
>>153372528Some pass better than others.
>>153363656Because, as other replies in this thread show, they're so delusional that common sense becomes an insult to them.
This is supposed to be a character workshop about improving characters. Not making them sexier
>>153357118Is her power just strength
>>153373848Making the character sexy, IS an improvement.
What’s even the appeal of a bulge?
>>153363148Attack helicopter tier shit.
>>153357118If the caracter has no fanart the caracter is garbage!Rubber maid and Soft Serve have, sadelly no one cares about the try hard trans caracter created to be a sex slave.
>>153375357That we know ofBut she's Nyssa Raatko's daughter, so presumably she has League of Assassins training on par with the other al Ghul heirs
>>153375997That describes most of Doom Patrol
>>153357118I send it to a prison camp in russia and "she" dies of aids after six months. The end.
>>153358272holy SEX
>>153375423the ONLY improvement
>>153375848mmmmmmm I'll get banned if I prattle on about it.
>>153357118>transgender character >pink, blue and white color schemewhat the fuck were they thinking???
>>153378455they make sure you TOTALLY KNOW its a tranny since that's where the character begins and ends
>>153378350A better improvement is character development
>>153357118Any ideas for the Absolute Universe
>>153380316the spectre goes "oh lol wtf is this shit" and begs yaweh to re-52 the universe.
>>153379103You have to strike a balance. An empty vessel isn't interesting at all. An unattractive character doesn't catch attention.
>>153379103no it isn't. I really don't care about some tranny's bullshit.she should just be for SSSSSSEX
>>153380776Who’s better for sex? Coagula, Dreamer, or Featherweight?
I love character workshop threads but admittedly I don't know how to dance around the trans stuff. Anyone got a character suggestion?
>>153380949Marco
>>153381049I mean it’s pretty easy. All you gotta do is focus on the other aspects of their character. Which was probably what the thread was supposed to be before it got derailed. Anyway, tangent aside I’m going to recommend Roxy Rocket since she has a similar meta origin to Harley Quinn but never reached her popularity
>>153381119except that's missing the point that the only reason this character exists in the first place is to be trans.It's not like there's a shortage of exiting characters in comics. This did not come out of any inspiration for an interesting new character or concept. Now you're trying to retrofit something actually interesting on a character that has no reason to exist.
>>153381206Maybe. I do feel like Dreamer is the easier of the two to workshop because she has the roots of a potential solo story. Featherweight is hard because she’s only rooted in her identity and the League of Assassins
>>153381206If a character has no reason to exist that makes them a void to be filled
>>153381609They have to make her sexier before I fill her void
>>153381049It's hard to dance around the trans stuff because it will generally be a deliberate choice with conscious attention both paid to it and drawn to it. You don't make a trans character without letting everyone know the character is trans because the reason they're trans is for everybody to know. They can have other qualities but at some point attention will inevitably be drawn to their transness because there's no point otherwise.
>>153381662Not everything is an innuendo
>>153381690it is for me
>>153381662Out of all of DC’s trans characters why pick Featherweight? I know Coagula exploded a guys dick
>>153381829because has the most potential. there are no stories about the character. It's a sketch basically.but is dumb at some extent because the character is being compose with a core identity starting with something nobody thinks about at the beginning of any creative process. You think in another things when you create characters. Like interesting things from the past.But if you want to workshop about the past of the character, you are doing canon. How do you workshop something that has copyright. Is weird. I can have fun with the character, or not. And what are the consequences of having fun with a character through the public domain.
>>153382436>"you know, Hypercrisis predicted all of this."
>>153382436True, but even in the context of this thread’s focus on sex there’s no fun in a cardboard cutout. You need to fill the piñata before you can enjoy the insides
>>153357596I'd do a storyline that reveals a supervillain with mental powers was responsible for it, and the queering of a number of youths. The story ends with the mentalist villain being thrown off of a building to plummet to their death.The Batman's present, but he doesn't intervene to save the villain. He just watches with vague disapproval and he says nothing, tacitly approving the killing of groomers.
>>153357118>>153357596>>153372528>>153372541you dont need to make them that colorful and overdesigned you know?>>153383532That's not batman. That what night owl did. His evil dimension counterpart that is trying to kill Red Hood who is actually a Joker variant>>153366309Same. Mine is the aspect of Freedom called Maximum Overdrive or MaxD living in Bodytopia MD where he is living nerve impulse Osmosis Jones style and he can't get killed in any way. He can jsut stop moving and get bored. Of course he easts a lot of food like any quick solver would but in this world stealing is allowed because the government are very religious so they follow>poor people eat>rich people payThis time HIS mother is the villain and she abused his father to the point of head stroke which is why he always wears black sunglasses to remember and also bug repellent Also he is a cyclops that wears hyper durable formal clothes, think Denji from Chainsaw man made from someone smart like the aspect of Intel Lee Gence like Edna and instead of stereotypical lightning colored color palette his hair is black, his suit is grey and his shoes look like a nurse would wear them
>>153357118Is there any media that depicts a detransitioner?
>>153383758Venture Bros maybe?
>>153384109and Mr. Garrison.
>>153367462That is Kyle, not Hal.
>Golden Age hero dad who hosts a malevolent sentient magic rock>Golden Age supervillain mom with split personality, sweet normal side but sociopath evil side she still tries to protect others from>mentally ill gay brother who hosts a malevolent quasi-sentient (?) dimension, angsty but tries to be good boy despite everything>golden age non-so-villainness stepmom who was an FBI informant and either was lead on by said golden age hero or was his beard, very sweet in old age and cared about the kids more than Alan did lmao, kinda strange and annoying in her younger years>her gay stepbrother is a successful actor who commits crimes because ???, has had like five pages of panel time total so he sucks and will be ignored like Molly>her dad's gay situationship is a Russian spy who hosts a starheart knockoff>her dad's gay situationship's daughter is an angry russian bitch obsessed with her dad>she herself is... green girl who is a lesser version of her dad, personality since her resurrection is "just kinda there" and "generic girlboss"Jade lowkey sucks and has nothing even remotely exciting/enticing going onFix that>hurdurr Kyle this Kyle thatHalf of Jade's problems as a character are because of that relationship, that man needs to be killed for his crimes against female characters
>>153384374Jade has practically nothing going on by design. Her struggles in Infinity Inc were having to tard wrangle Grundy because she was nice to him so he imprinted on her, having to tard wrangle Obsidian because she was nice to him unlike every other family he’s had so he clung to her, her dad and brother not liking her boyfriend, and sometimes she’d whine about being green as though Obsidian wasn’t two feet away from her hating himself for being a literal monster. Ie her struggles were very superficial compared to Obsidian and the rest of the team because she was the wish fulfillment character of the team. Writers could’ve kept her II personality (sweet but relatively self absorbed, wore heart on sleeve, overcompensating when somebody doubted her) but there was too much overlap with Kyle so they pivoted to bitchy hot girlfriend instead when she became the GL dueteragonist. And Marz didn’t like her so he didn’t give her much to work with. Changed her aspirations from wanting to be actress to run of the mill photographer, tried to change her backstory to her being sexually abused in an orphanage in an attempt to give her a struggle, frequently had Kyle rescue her, etc.At one point either Marz or Winick tried to give her a struggle with her having her mom’s plant powers too for 1-2 issues but it fell sooo flat.>omg plant powers how awful… I really do have a part of my mother in me…Meanwhile Obsidian is over there trying to kill himself due to what their mom gave him, and her and Alan are looking the other way lmao.Anyway keep her as the normal one of the family and one of the normal ones in JSA and keep her simple. Her struggle can be something as simple as being a flop actress and model, especially compared to the likes of Starfire, Fire, and Vixen. Her struggle in JSA right now seems to be her thinking her leadership skills are shit but it was short lived considering she and Obsidian are wanting to make the JSA a school or some shit.
>>153382401Cute cute. DCSHG Nia
