I Wanted To Create A Dialogue About Equality By Taking The Two Most Alpha Male Superheroes And Placing

“I wanted to create a dialogue about equality by taking the two most alpha male superheroes and placing them in this embrace.” — Rich Simmons

“It shouldn’t matter who a person is, who they love, what they believe or where they come from, being a hero transcends all that. We should judge our fellow humans by the way they treat others and not by who they share a bed with."

can't get the idea out of my head of M'gann being given houseplants when she first arrives on Earth and cultivates them in her room by herself. cut to months later after she has a community she realizes almost all of them have outgrown their pots and need to be planted outside and she does so in the community garden. one plant stays in her room and it's a martian seedling that has now blossomed after months of dormancy

YEAA that's really close to how I imagine M'gann settles in Denver! After J'onn and Ma'al leave the Erdels (who live in a cottage in the woods) for the town, they stay in a crummy 2 bedroom apartment (eventually adopting Double Stuff). But when M'gann and K'hym move in, J'onn gives M'gann his room with a baby bed installed there for K'hym (J'onn volunteers to sleep on the couch). They get a bunch of plant pots for M'gann to use her White Martian sleeping powers to grow Martian plants that are harvested to feed a growing baby K'hym.

I love the idea of M'gann choosing to expand her plants into a community garden hobby! I imagine J'onn and Ma'al later save up to move into a bigger apartment so K'hym and J'onn can have their own rooms. There M'gann could have a public community garden for Earth plants, and a secret alien community garden where the local stealth aliens come to plant foreign plants safely under M'gann's care.

Fiddleford's inventiveness explains the supposed "smartness gap" between the Stan twins

Ford absorbs things like a sponge- he can construct things based on what he knows: theories, machines, etc. but he can't make anything new. we've seen it before: he gets stuck in one world of thought and doesn't think to look outside it.

in the BoB and J3, Ford frequently remarks how Fiddleford is instrumental in working with machinery. they're working on anomalies, which doesn't have almost any precedence or prior study- they have to make things up as they go. Ford will have an idea, then get stuck on something that doesn't exist yet and be unable to complete it- which is where Fidds comes in.

Stan is clever, he has impeccable logic. he doesn't have to learn something to know it, and we see him use novel ideas constantly. in completely new situations, he can deduce what kind of logic to apply: is it ruled by societal expectations or a list of rules? how can I break the system they've made? what loopholes can I find to subvert all the negative consequences?

these two ways of thinking can't easily coexist, which is why the Stan twins are so powerful when they're together: they are two halves of a whole genius

Most average DC father and son relationship I fear

Hellblazer: Dead in America by Si Spurrier and Aaron Campbell

the movement on these J'onns is sick. if J'onn had to take up John Stewart's ring during JL/JLU for some reason this is exactly what he would've looked like, I'm sure

looks like something @jesncin would like too

Quick thoughts on the Martian lantern (sometime in the past). Imagine what an badass he would be. A well-trained fighter with all Martian powers AND the power ring. OP
