I'm interested to say the least/

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I hate to keep putting things off, so, I think maybe, in the meantime, we can try to brainstorm about stuff we want to do the podcast on. I'm not an expert about the in-depth history of comics and games and stuff, but I'd like to learn, and along the way, I can lend opinions. I'm not an expert, but I know things here and there. Plus, we can promote the Forum. The Forum promotion would sadly be secondary, until traffic picks up.

In the meantime, anybody here got any ideas they'd like to discuss? Naturally, I think the various superhero shows and other comic related shows should be included, but what else?

[Philote]

So, Superman officially has a new power. The Super Flare.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 It's been a thing for a couple weeks now.

 I think it's really interesting to help add a new element to Superman's character (the ability to be reduced to levels of power closer to human), but I really hate the new costume design that's coming along with this new ability: he basically looks like a douchebag gym jock.

[Mik_Hael]

the reason I don't pay much attention to superman is as follows.

"Oh no he's encountering an enemy that he thinks he can't win against, whatever is he going to do? What's this? he's discovered a new faction of his Cryptonian biology that blows the villain out of the water.

....yeah remember the time where he sneezed and accidentally erased several galaxies, or when he patched a hole in reality with static electricity, or the time when he shot beams from his hands that repaired a broken damn. He's basically a reality manipulator, which would be forgiven, if his personality wasn't hopscotching between fucking bland and douche bag on a daily basis. And if you don't believe me about the douche thing, remember the time super man went back in time with batman and used his powers to convince Salem that he was a witch so they'd burn batman at the stake, and then set the fire himself with his laser vision?

[Philote]

I was hoping that he would get the power to shoot a mini-superman out of his hands.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Wow, he's had a much more interesting history than you might think at first glance.

[Mik_Hael]

less interesting and more two children yelling at each other about stuff their imaginary friend can do.

btw he got jealous of the tiny supermen and ended up making it sacrifice itself to get rid of the ability.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Yeah, I saw. That was a hilariously ludicrous story, even for a collection of stories about a superhuman alien who solves crimes and saves people.

[Mik_Hael]

who dresses in blue tights and wears a red speedo.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Male Strippers

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I would have corrected you by saying Jester meant 'Superman', but it looks like that answer could go either way.

[Mik_Hael]

well considering that superman undresses in a clearly visible phone booth whenever he goes into action.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I'd hope he moves at super speed so no normal human could see.

[WonderDrow]

Despite his speed, he's not the fastest flasher.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I would imagine not.

[Mik_Hael]

but after a certain point you move faster than protons so what's the point of flashing.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

The satisfaction?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Yeah, I'm assuming Superman isn't actually a serial flasher, and just needs to get into costume, so I'mma go with that.

[Mik_Hael]

If that were true they'd probably give him a power or technology that allows him to do that, like the magical ability to rebuild walls with beams from his hands.
