i don’t think anyone’s talked about this yet; what are yer thoughts on blue superman, and the imitated that copied his unique power set? (y’know, like livewire, strange visitor, etc.)
>>154045605Why is always Blue Superman and not the red one?
>>154045605I think it's dumb because Superman is the last person that needed it. Others having it is meh.
>>154045605Livewire was created before this storyline
>>154045632well, he wasn’t red for most of the run sooooo
>>154045605We talk about how much it's never talked about, like hot claws or franken-castle
>>154045605I liked it as a kid.
>>154045632Came later, was only a more aggressive copy, and shorter lived in comparison. Probably less visually appealing. If he was evil then he might have gotten more attention.
>>154045718Pineapple Thing & Grey She-Hulk.
>>154045632Despite being marketed as a duo, he was just blue Superman most of the time. And when he accessed the fork again years later, Red didn't even come up.
>>154045632Lana Superwoman is Red
>>154045605PepsiMan
>>154045605It's funny how it came about from exterior legal issues, and if things went really south this could have been the new status quo.Also solid design, that should definitely be recycled into regular use for another character.
>>154045605Has Livewire met Blue Superman?seems like a good crackship
>>154045929And it was. She just didn't last.
>>154045605Superman gaining a new costume and having to learn to use his new powers isn’t a bad ideaBut thinking that Electo Blue would be the new status quo is silly and it had no real ending until it turned out everyone hated it so they got rid of it
>>154046018Livewire briefly wore the containment suit
Is anything besides Morrisons JLA run worth reading with Superman Blue?
>>154046383And then her kid wore it.
>>154046383I wonder if someone’s drawn art of that version of her in the DCAU style
>>154046610prolly most of the triangle era considering it’s all pretty interconnected regardless
>>154046610The run of Action/Superman/etc. is a perfectly fine read, unless you're allergic to Dan Jurgens.
>>154045777Checked
>>154047779I have, I was thinking of E-3 versions of Superman’s rogues.
>>154045605The costume is A+Clark having normal human weakness when not in Superman mode was a great ideaWhile I enjoyed the Red/Blue split, it doesn't really work when he's married to Lois. Having him still be torn between Lois and Lana works better in the original story.I liked it when Livewire got the outfit. It's so stupid that they teased Jon having this power set post Lazarus Planet and then never committed
>>154046610The Triangle books are decent, but they suffer from lesser competing story lines like their new take on Kandor and "Strange Visitor"
>>154048859soemthing tells me the fabric got old if she was able to make a boob window from it
>>154045605why is he blue?
It was weird. >>154051419Something about his powers going cooky because of his resurrection so he was split into separate energy beings and it being a throw back to weird silver age stiff.
>>154046610Not specifically because of that but Super books on the whole were pretty solid for much of the 90s
>>154051419If he was green he would die
>>154045929>exterior legal issuescare to elaborate?
>>154050586She already has an ass window costume.
ithink it’s also worth noting that mark millar did a pretty good listing some of supes’ nouveau powers
>>154045605He and Live Wire would made a great pair.
>>154051626
>>154045777...i mean i'd ship it
>>154051458well, actually the "powers going kooky" and "spilt into seperate beings" things happened seperately b'yeah
>>154045605on an additional note; how would an adaptation of this from page to screen go?(iknow MAWS did somethin' similar with the animeesque sun powers but...)

>>154045605The problem with the old costume: NOT GAY ENOUGH.https://youtu.be/b6aOy1lC3NE&t=184
>>154051623One of the original creators of Superman had recently died, their estate was legally sabre rattling about ownership of original elements of Superman; costume, powers, story elements, etc.. Superman was moved into electric superman status while talks were ongoing, for a less challengeable presentation just in case a deal couldn't be worked out. When the issue was resolved the whole thing was dropped as quickly as it came.
>>154054331oo; yeah i can see why they pushed for this in that case
>>154053894if it were made now; he woulda been multicolored like hyper sonic
as another bonus Q; what do you think an electric blue supergirl/superboy/etc. should look like?
>>154057220Jon has the electric blue powersAnd also the Super Flare
>>154057220
>>154058691(it totally is)
>>154056411>multicolored supernovaman Hmmmmm
>>154045632Gingerism
Suprised nobody has mentioned blue supes was in K.O.He gets the concept of hope ripped out of him then dies
>>154060132K.O. was a nothing burger
>>154060205Mr. "God isn't real chud" Terrific having to do a rip off Dante's Inferno was the most fun of the event. Superman Blue getting caught in the middle seems like it would have pissed someone, somewhere, off. I kinda want to see the one Superman Blue fan shit his pants in anger over this.
>>154060285This is like Dan Slott levels of "Fuck you for even caring" type shit. Remember what he did to Spider-Man & his Amazing Friends?
>>154060370at least blueperman went out with dignity
>>154060402True.
>>154060370>the dog is ok guys don't worryAt least with this I get to see Beyond Tim be a crybaby bitch then die like a wuss. There's no need for big 2 comics to kill off characters like this, but sometimes I can take the good with the badWhatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow having a point while killing Krypto and Jimmy Olsen, does not mean everyone else has to be killed like an Image Comics background character.
>>154060435poor Beyond Tim
>>154060556at least terry got his mantle back
>>154059341hey i mean they already gave him a golden super form
>>154061724I mean rainbow is cooler than gold, also the blue and white suit COULD be a future Superman suit, beyond I mean, when Superman is older you know?
>>154060370Also the one comic where expies of the kids from SuperFriends get murdered by Wonder Dog, who's revealed as an alien shapeshifter.
Insider info on the upcoming Jessica Cruz show
>>154060370The whole storyline is "everyone is expendable."The premise is they're all fractions of a second removed from time, so if they die it doesn't affect the timeline at all, which means they can do a suicide run on hell.
>>154061724I'm not sure what the sales figures are, but I really feels like no one gives a shit about what Slott's doing in that book. I almost never see it talked about.
>>154060953He got his mantle back years agoThis is a copy of Tim pulled out of the timeline who only existed to die pathetically
>>154063686The premise is stupid.
>>154048313>unless you're allergic to Dan Jurgens.'perfectly' fine meaning adequate, perfunctory, ordinary, technically acceptable sums up "paycheck" Jurgens in an absolute nutshell.
>>154063298is posting the isekai cover in public an NDA violation or?
>>154066514Apparently not.
>>154045605I love how dial h for hero from 2018 put supermiguel in supermiguel blue and supermiguel red, with blue being superman and red being captain marvel.That was a nice touch.
>>154068367no time like the present itc
