Justice League: The New Wave (OOC - Interest Check)

[Varshanka]

Oh! You should bump up Dian's Intelligence to somewhere in the 80s, to emphasize the fact that she's a scientist.

Other than that, I've gone over this with a fine-tooth (beach)comb and I'm satisfied with it.

Varshanka, do you have any quibbles or caveats?

Question.. which game will they be in?

Change made.

The main IC, Earth-1 with the most of us.

 

[ChasNicollette]

Change made.

Merci beaucoup, dear!

 

[Varshanka]

Thought so. Just wanted to confirm

 

[Zet_Cross]

So Lunar, your invading us with Librarians?

 

[Lunaramblings]

Hey Zet.

Yeah a little. lol

Chas, should I wait to post until everything is neatly wrapped up? Was thinking that I might write up a flashback of what Sandman and Dian have been up to while everyone else was saving the world.

 

[Wyldfire]

How far do we want to go with the JSA aspect? Could Wildcat's grand have known and worked with the original Sandman?

 

[ChasNicollette]

I don't believe there was a JSA in this timeline, rather like the Earth-0 and Earth-1 of The New 52. No Jay, no Alan, no Carter.

That said, magic users and superhumans have been present throughout this rich history, and I've referenced costumed heroes in the past. Grand Grant and Wes the Elder could have known each other if you guys want to play it that way!

For a Wyle, he's in like Flynn!

I'm going to be working on wrap-up stuff today, but yeah. As Var didn't have any quibbles, I think that means that you can officially post!

I definitely encourage an intro of some kind, and flashbacks are definitely welcome!

I was curious about the Sandman using stuff from the dreaming in Creation. I thought Morpheus didn't allow that. I love the concept, just wonder is there a Cannon backstory?

I was curious about the Sandman using stuff from the dreaming in Creation. I thought Morpheus didn't allow that. I love the concept, just wonder is there a Cannon backstory?

The Wesley Dodds from Matt Wagner's Vertigo "Sandman Mystery Theater" is portrayed as having a fragment of Dream inside him, which is what gives him his prophetic visions-- and subconsciously inspired the Sandman persona-- the sleeping-gas inspired by Morpheus' sands, the gas mask inspired by Morpheus' helm.

This was then incorporated into the mainline pre-Flashpoint DCU when Dodds would involve himself in matters regarding the reunion of The JSA. Particularly when Dodds died, and he passed that dream-soul-fragment onto his protege Sand "Sandy" Hawkins, who then became the second heroic Sandman. His prophetic dreams would combine with a superhuman ability to become silicate, to geomorph and travel through the faultlines of The Earth, and to manipulate sand and rock through geokinesis.

So yes, this concept is very much inspired by DC/Vertigo canon, it's just sort of kicked up a notch based on ideas Lunar and I have explored in past threads.

Dream had been known to interact with The Justice League and Justice Society of pre-Flashpoint canon on rare occasions-- at one point helping The JLA against a living nightmare cast across the world by Starro, and at another few points interceding on behalf of the family of a certain Daniel Hall.

Additionally, it was Dream who convinced Death to not touch Hob Gadling until a time of Hob's choosing, making him functionally immortal. So he's not above dabbling with mortal affairs when it interests him.

He is the ultimate governor of what transitions between The Dreaming and The Waking World-- for the very very most part that means he doesn't let anything into The Waking World from The Dreaming, what is real stays real and what is fiction stays fiction. But sometimes his duties, his responsibilities, entail his permitting things to slip through those cracks. Further beyond that, he has been known to grant boons to those he deems deserving, even if those boons turn out to be against his overall best interests.

Wesley Edmund Dodds has a destiny, and Morpheus is sending him out to meet that destiny, for good or ill.

On top of that, Dream is preparing for a terrible fate of his own in coming future events, and The Sandman's presence in The Waking World may factor into that. DUN-DUN-DUN.

It's not so different than Morpheus' permitting Kiz to utilize in The Waking World his Demense (briefly and with caveats) and the various Nightmares penned within it, his motivations for which may prove inscrutable. All of this ties in with the character arc Morpheus undergoes in Gaiman's "Sandman," though of course we're fiddling with the details more than a little.

I am cool with that idea. PM me your thoughts, I am sure we can work something out. If he knew Wes, he probably knew Sandy too.

Interesting chas. Thanks for the info

Is that sufficient? I'm worried you feel shortchanged.

On a side note. Seems that our fav supergirl (Melissa Benoist) was at the women's march today in D.C. Here's a pic she took.

Fixed it! Thanks for catching that!

yeppers

 

[LuckyVic]

I had a feeling that's who that was supposed to be.

 

[ChasNicollette]

Funny story.

Charlton Comics had a "Bionic Woman" comic with the Lindsay Wagner version of the character shortly before they were taken over by DC-- which of course brought Captain Atom, The Question, et cetera over to DC Comics and indirectly gave us Watchmen.

While the "Bionic Woman" license didn't come over to DC with the Charlton characters, I kind of think that, by extension, this sort of includes Jaime Sommers in some region or other of DC's Hypertime.

And since this is a rebooted multiverse... we have a rebooted Jaime.

 

[ChasNicollette]

Also recently "Wonder Woman '77" did a "Bionic Woman" crossover so that clinches it.

always

never!
