Why are they so lame?
>>155403203im gonna assume youve read all the works and the dynamite stuff that alex ross did.
I like hydroman. what does he do?
>>155403203Because people only care about public domain shit if it already has a good story. Basically it serves to allow people to do their own spin on a character and make it their own but if the characters has not much to work with then just make your own character.
>>155403203They are in an awkward spot, between pulp mystery men and modern superheroes.>>155403240He can turn into water.
>>155403343so he isn't wearing a trasnparent shirt and it's actually a white shirt that's perpetually wet?
>>155403203Because if anyone cared about them they wouldn't have fallen into trademark hell.
>Implying six gun gorilla is lame
>>155403203Because they're literally "for free". Imagine that as your super power.And your entrance music is some shit like 'happy birthday' lmao.
People like to screech about the pubic domain and corporate power but there's generally a good reason why the characters that survived survived.
>>155404856It's tempting to try and use them but for all practical purposes it's probably better in the long to just make your own that you own.
>>155403203I want Black Venus to ride my penis
>>155403203>water themed hero>uses a gun
>>155403203I don't know, The Hood looks pretty cool
I would read a Captain Future comic if it was like a take on the idea of a guy from the far future, who is so advanced physiologically that he's a superhero to normal people.
>>155405119The only good ones are the duo with the jet packs.
>>155405308The opposite is actually true though. Cave men stalked their prey until it was too tired to keep running, modern people are fat sacks of shit, and it's just going to keep getting worse.
>>155406143youre referring to environmental adaptations, not evolutionary oneshuman fat retention is the same ability our very first anatomically-modern humans had 200,000 years agoin any case, we would definitionally be a separate species, or sub-species at least, if we differed so great from our ancestorsthe mere fact that totally yoked specimens exist alongside fat slobs tells us that this is a primarily environmental change
Oh, perfect. I can post this herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjNh74D0YCIEnjoy
>>155403203There is a reason why they are in the public domain in the first place.
>>155403203If they weren't lame they wouldn't be public domain
>leaving out Black Terror
>>155404822Very infamously, the happy birthday song was copyright protected by Warner music until 2016. This is why media before then rarely uses the song, and why there was a whole Regular Show episode about making a new bday song
>>155405308This was a concept for Superman too, which is why one of his titles is the man of tomorrow. Red Son uses the concept too
>>155404810Six Gun Gorilla is amazing. Is a Gorilla with Six giant revolvers seeking revenge for the death of his father.
>>155404810Gorillas and comics, name a more powerful duo.
>>155409805I can't blame him for using guns because gorillas can't throw shit.
Which public domain superhero characters do you wish had more exposure to the general public?
>>155411436Boy King. I'm not joking, his comics were great.
>>155403203>"Silver Streak">no silver on him whatsoever
>>155406143I'd like to see any caveman beat a professional athlete at their chosen distance.
>>155407201And what is the reason for that, sir?
>>155411436Black Terror or Daredevil, because their costumes are cool. But Marvel would have a fit if someone brought Daredevil back.
>>155411436The Wraith is one, and I was working on a treatment for a revival of the Fury legacy, starring Ms. Fury's son. I'd also like to see more Nyctalope.>>155413549You could call him "Maverick" or "Hellion."
