This looks like a job for a Superheroine

Yesterday, I was thinking about the last couple of issues of JSA, when it dawned on me that something has been missing... Then I realised that thing it had been missing was it's under use of Stargirl. Now granted she has been shown prominently, however she really hasn't been the guiding force she usually is, I don't really blame any of the writers. After all in a team book you have to rotate how you choose ot focus on. Thinking about this got me on to thinking about the Super heroines I dig and what that might mean about my Psyche. Which got me thinking about what I should post and I figured it was time for one of my ever popular lists. So, here as it stands today, are the Super heroines I think are the coolest (and maybe a little insight into what this says about my taste in girls,lol).
And as always these are not listed in any sort of order (other than popping into my head in that order,lol).

Since, I already mentioned her. I'm going to start this list with Stargirl AKA Courtney Whitmore. I thin she is awesome for many of the same reasons I like Jubilee. They both have bubbly, outgoing personalities. Which I could be digging on just on the basis that as a LEO bubbly,outgoing girls are pretty attractive to me. Beyond that I really dig that she has gone from a junior member to a leadership role in the JSA in just a few short years. That is pretty awesome.
I guess that brings us to Jubilee. Ah, Ms. Jubilation Lee. How can you not love this firecracker (no, pun intended). The saddest thing about me love of Jubilee is how when I first became a fan of her she was a few years older than me and now she's roughly 10 years younger than me. From the first time I read about her (the X-Men's Atlantis Attacks Annual)to her staring role in the cartoon and even her cameos in the X-Men movies. Right on,I'm quite pissed about Joey Q's treatment of her from House of M up until and including her return in the New Warriors.
Speaking of Warriors. I could not do a post like this without mentioning the greatest warrior to ever escape Apokolips. That's right I'm talking about Barda Free...Big Barda herself.How can you not love Barda, she's a tough girl with a big loud personality. She is no shrinking violet that's for sure. She can be bombastic or sweet. She's loyal and kind.
Next I think I'll have to mention Zinda before it slips my mind. I'm not going to go to deep into the awesomeness that is Lady Blackhawk. Since, I did a whole post on that not too long ago. I'll just say this... She likes guns,booze and, fighting what's not to love.
I gues that this point I should probably mention my second favorite X-girl. Rogue, what's not to love about a southern belle that can punch through a brick wall. My favorite protrayal Rogue was when she had stolen Ms. Marvel's powers. She's tough as nails yet sensitive and longing to be touched without the consequences of killing another person. Plus she has that southern drawl (and accents are HAWT!).
Moving we come to Soranik Natu Doctor and Green Lantern pulled between her duties and her homeworld. She since her first appearence in the Green Lantern Corps. I have loved the way the writers have protrayed her. She is just plain awesome.
Last but not least is Molly Hayes from the Runaways. She's just so darn cute. Even when she is punching through walls. In a lot of ways she reminds me of my siblings and the daughters of my friends and family.

Well, I could go on and on about the Superheroines I love but I feel this is a good stopping point for now and I'm sure I'll be coming back to this subject in the future. But for now here's the list I'm going with

Free, Scott Free

You know, I may have said this before. But, I think Mr.Miracle has a great gimmick. He's THE SUPER ESCAPE ARTIST!I just think that is such a cool and unique idea as the main protagonist. He can literally escape anything. It's a great way to keep the threats of each issue from getting to high, while still keeping the excitement up. Each issue your like well, of course he's going to escape from the trap. But, how is he going to escape? I also think that one of the reasons he doesn't do so good in his own book is for this very reason. I sure hope when DC (if they haven't already) bring back Scott Free, they will give him a back story in a book. Because, I think he's the perfect character for a back up story. give him 10 pages to do his thing and escape some insanely elaborate trap and an occasional story about him and Barda trying to have a relaxing Saturday night together and that it. Enough stories for at least 12 installments. Man, that Jack Kirby sure was a genius XD

BoP! RiP! :*(

Well, the Birds of Prey have broken up (at least for now) and I'm already feeling sad about it. Granted the last issue came out a week or two ago. But, still. I really enjoyed this book since I started reading it a few years ago back when it was just Huntress, Black Canary, and Oracle; yet after the TV show. I read it a few times before then and for whatever reason it just never clicked with me. But, then around '06 I really started to dig it. For me this is when it began firing on all cylinders and once Gail Simone added Ms. Zinda Blake and I was completely hooked (Although, for some reason I called her Zindi for the longest time and I have really no clue why). Then, when they added Barda I was completely over the moon. I'm a big fan of Mrs. Barda Free. My only compliant about the time Barda was on the team is that I think they should have Scott appear more then just in a panel or two. Needlessly to say, I've really enjoyed this comic these last few years and really my only major compliant about the last issue was how Barbara left Charlie (AKA Misfit), For me that just felt off after everything that had happened between the two of them in the last couple of years. Other than that and The Letter. I thought it was a pretty good final issue and I can't wait to see the first issue of Babs' miniseries. I just hope it doesn't suck.

Barda Vs. Diana: A somewhat onesided fight

Getting geared up for the weekend, I thought it would be fun to give y'all a little Thursday Thowdown. Today opponents are Wonder Woman and Big Barda =D
In the Right corner weighing in at 217 with a height of 7 feet.
Big Barda!


And in the left corner weighing in at 165 with a height of 5 feet 11 inches.
Wonder Woman!


The bell rings and we are ready for the fight of the century. Big Barda vs. Wonder Woman. The Leader of the Female Furies against the Amazon Princess.
Barda has an obvious size advantage in this one, all though both of them have super strength and near invulnerability. So, this should be a pretty tough match up.
Right off the bat Diana throws her magic lasso at Barda. In mid air Barda grabs the lasso and flings Wonder Woman across the ring. She then pulls on it, but Wonder Woman lets go of the rope and Barda flies backwards into the corner of the ring. Wonder Woman then flies of and begins pounding on her. After a couple of punches Barda is able to grab hold of Diana's wrist and uses it to toss Wonder Woman into the other corner. Barda then begins beating on Diana mercilessly. Finally, after quite a pummelling, Diana is able to free herself from the corner. She walks a couple of steps (towards the center of the ring) and falls down. Ladies and Gentlemen. Wonder Woman is out. Big Barda Is The Winner!! We hope you have enjoyed the fight tonight here at Roulette's Meta-Brawls, where entertainment rules and the audience always wins.

More splenders of love

I'm not talking about The Watchmen 'cuz I still haven't seen it. So, I thought I'd go back and fill in some of the couples in comics that I dig but, because of lousy planning I left off of fridays list. Without any further ado, let's get to it.

Scott and Barda Free - I have no clue why or how I managed to leave this couple off the list. When I think of what marriage should be this couple is the example I use.

Gambit and Rogue - My favorite Southern fried couple. They may fight and bicker and maybe even stray. But, in the end they always come back to one another. No matter what happens you just know, they'll always end up together.

John Stewart and Katma Tui - They are literally a power couple.

Al and Wanda Simmons - Sure it all went to hell (literally) after he dead. But, he made a pact with the devil in an atempt to stay with her after his death. Now that's love.

Colossus and Kitty Pryde - Granted it is kind of wrong that he was pursuing he when she was in Junior High and he was already an adult. But, once she grow up they became a great couple as far as I'm concerned (well, when they aren't dying on each other).

Well, after doing both this list and the one from friday. I'm fairly certain now that I have included my favorite comic book couples.

The Best Marriage in comics

In honor of Valentine's Day, I figured today I'd write about the coolest, best marriage in comics. No, I don't mean Peter and MJ before their satanic divorce. I'm talking about Scott and Barda Free.



Right off there's the fact that these two met and feel in love ON APOKOLIPS. If there was ever a place least conducive to folks falling in love this would be the place. Scott first caught Barda's through his fight to escape from the control of Darksied and Granny Goodness and showing her that you didn't have to except things how they were, that you can fight and maybe even triumph over a repressive world.
After they escapes from Apoklips, Barda then searched and found Scott. Becoming one of the stars of his act. Then after they married they tried to settle into a nice suburban life style but adventure kept calling out to Mr.Miracle and Big Barda.
One of the things I've always dug about this couple is that Barda could go blow for blow, punch for punch with Superman and neither she or Scott care about this. He doesn't care that she's the stronger one of the pair (at least physically) and she doesn't care that he doesn't have the strength to pick up a tank, like she does. In all the books I've read about these to this is a complete non-issue. Plus, you gotta dig a tough girl that like her bunny slippers. These two care more about each other than life itself and it shows. Sure, Scott teases her about her awful cooking and she'd prefer Scott to just settle down into a job as an insurance agent or some other job that doesn't lend itself quite as much to globe trotting adventures. But, they except each other completely. Even their bickering seems to be done out of love for each other. So, hopefully this Valentine's Day those of you out there who have somebody have found someone like these two to sure in your triumphs and missteps and hopefully one of these days those of us out there still looking for that person will find our one Barda or Scott as the case may be.



Happy Valentine's Day everyone and I hope you enjoy your weekend =D

Jay's Justice League

I thought today I'd share with y'all, who would be in the Justice League if I wrote it and got to choose the team. So, here you go jay's Justice League.

Superman - 'Cuz you kind of have to have him in it to truly be the Justice League.
Batman - What can I say he makes everything 40% cooler.
The Question (Vic Sage) - I thought they used him to great effect in the JLU and ever since then I thought he should be a member.
Booster Gold - Just to make sure there's enough comic relief plus I'd have him mentor Jaime.
Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) - I was never a big fan of the Teen Titans and besides that I always thought it was more of a team for sidekicks. Plus I think it would hilarious to have Booster working as his mentor.
Guy Gardner - He should be on every team in the DCU as far as I'm concerned. Plus I think his interactions with Superman would be worth the price of admission. Of course, you also have to have a Green Lantern on the team, so....
Mr. Miracle - He makes a great dues ex machina.
Big Barda - She's Scott's wife so if you're gonna have him on the team you pretty much have to have her on it and plus She is just plain awesome.
Zatanna - You need a magician on the time and no one looks better in fishnets and a top hat than Zatanna does.
Stargirl - Every team needs a bubbly teenager. For me she'd basically fill in Jubilee's role in the X-Men (plus it would be fun doing jokes about her cosmic rod and Barda's mega-rod,lol)
Oracle - Someone has to do monitor duty while everyone else is fighting off the hordes of Apokolips and I personally feel she is the smartest person in the DCU and you can never have too many smart people on a team (unless it's the Avengers, since most of their smart people are really crazy as well). Plus she's great at tactical support.
Nightwing - Mainly because I still dig the Superfriends. Also, it would give him more time to hang out with Babs.
Wildcat - Just to have as a drill sergeant. Every team needs a drill sergeant.
The Flash (Wally West) - Every Justice League needs a Flash and since he's the one I'm most familiar with....

Well, there you have it. My Awesome Justice League team of awesomeness. I decided to go with a team of 14 member because that seems to be the perfect size for a Justice League team.
Agree/Disagree?

Coming soon to the CW (hopefully)

So, looking back on one of my posts, it got me thinking about how cool it would be if once Smallville dies it's long needed death that the CW's next superhero venture should be... Wait for it... A sitcom starring Steve Carell and Lucy Lawless (in order to go back and further form this to my JLI cast) as Scott and Barda Free add in wacky neighbor/midget Oberon set in a suburban Anytown, USA type place and this would be a license to print money. This could be so funny, having Barda holding the couch over her head as she vacuums the floor wearing her bunny slippers. Mr. Miracle accidently torching the garage as he prepares his next death trap. Once in awhile they could have Darkseid show up and try to wreck things for them. I think the endless jokes about Barda's bad cooking would be enough to support the show for at least a season just on its own. Then you throw in cosmic civil war an ill tempered midget and some death defying feats, I think this would be a winner. The only thing I can think of that would make this a better series, is if you added a normal couple to the cast that lived next door (ala Steve and Marcy from Married with children). Well, there you have it my idea for the best sitcom EVER.

Best Comic Movie,yet

So,here you go.I've decided to make a movie pitch.This is for a DC character so only Warner Bros. could make it. so,here it is. Mister Miracle. For those not in the "know" Mister Miracle is really Scott Free, the world's greatest escape artist. I know you're down but I'm going to sweeten the pot even more. Scott Free is a fugitive from the planet Apokolips. He and his wife (Big Barda,whom has the strength of Superman) Escape to Earth in the hopes of independence from the dictator, Darkseid. At first, Darkseid sends his minions to kill Scott and Barda. Through death defing heroics they (Scott and Barda) Return to Apokolips and go after Darkseid. In hopes of forcing him into a final conflict. Doesn't this concept just sceam blockbuster? It's got it all a querky couple (the wife can lift cars and the husband is an escape artist). Hell, this could be a fun sitcom,even. It also should have tons of explosions and hair raising escapes and to top it off the villain is a monolithic,despot, who's nigh-omnipotent.If you got the right director on this flick it would be just like printing money. But,that's just my 2 cents XD

The geekiness continues

Since I haven’t done a list in awhile, I thought it would be fun to share with you my favorite super heroines. Plus, I thought maybe this would give me a little insight into the type of girls I like
(and in case you’re new to this place these are in no particular order)
So,without any further ado...
Zatanna - What’s not to love, she’s a sorceress with a neat gimmick (sdrawkcab meth gniyas yb slleps gnitsac) and what red-blooded guy doesn’t love a girl in fishnets and tails.
Wolfsbane - Ah, Ms. Rahne Sinclear I’ve dug her since back in her New Mutant days. There’s just something about a shy girl with a christian upbringing and the ability to turn into a wolf that just had me from the word go.
Jubilee - Oh, how I luv Jubes (when I was a wee lad I had a huge crush on her) I know her powers are kinda lame and she can be obnoxious.But, it doesn’t matter.
Big Barda - What can I say Barda is just awesome. She’s just as strong as Superman and is married to the super escape artist Mr.Miracle.
Kitty Pryde - I don’t think there is any guy whose into comics whom has not had a crush on her at some point. She’s super smart, she’s a ninja and she has a pet dragon (what’s not to love).
Rogue - especially when she could fly and had super strength and it makes you sad thinking about how if she kisses or holds hands with a fellow she could kill him. The poor girl
Stargirl - She’s just fun :)
Raven - Aw, my love of goth girls knows no bounds.
Black Cat - MEOW!
Siryn - PAD is such an awesome writer she has totally crept in (plus how can you not like a girl who dated Deadpool and actually dug him).
Well, that’s all of them I can think of right now.Plus, I don’t wanna go on listing and listing and listing until the eyes of the few people who read this glaze over. The only similarities between these girls seems to be their XX chromosomes. Unless someone else out there has a bit more insight. I guess, what I’ve learned is I like girls everyone of them I’ve liked (in the real world and not so real worlds of DC and Marvel) has a something unique and special about them that I just can’t resist (Now,if only they felt the same way about me but, I guess that should probably be left for another post). I dunno, I’m all outta ideas so... Until next time... Keep watching the skis...um, I mean skies
