'Young Justice' Team...1980's Style!

Here's a little "Shoulda-Woulda-Coulda"

Ret-con Lovin'!

Why on earth were there no youth-oriented teams

at DC Comics (aside from Teen Titans) in the

late 1970s, early 1980s?

 

There were a plethora of unused/underutilized

characters, and in the window between Teen Titans

being cancelled and New Teen Titans debuting,

there was a real vacuum!

So here are some suggestions for a

retconned team of kids and barely-legals

that could have been a fun part of the DC legacy!

How many can you name?

Additional suggestions?

The Real 'New Earth' DC Comics

So, way back 36 universes ago when DC Comics

did "Infinite Crisis," it was revealed sort of

matter-of-factly and under-the-radar that it was

the discontinuation of multiple earths that caused

all of these 'new style' duplicate characters (which

were so different from the originals) to manifest

there on what was considered DC Earth proper.

It was pointed out that 'Breach' was the 'Captain Atom' of

the intended New Earth in the multiverse, as were other

heroes (Kyle Raynor, Helena Bertinelli, etc) the erstwhile

duplicate earth's version of existing characters.

A pretty decent explanation (and write-off)

for some not-always-stellar and usually

mismatched players. But I was curious what the

population of this 'New Earth' would have looked like if

it had actually developed the way it was 'supposed to,'

rather than piggy-backed onto the mainstream earth.

Here's what I came up with!
