Whatever place you do end up getting just make sure it's a victorian mansion that you immediately let slide into disrepair, and put a clause in your will that no one can receive your inheritance unless they spend a night locked inside.

Starfire started off as basically sexy Conan the Barbarian in Space, right?

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:That Starfire was a completely separate character from the Teen Titans character, and she was more of a sword-and-sorcery/space opera character. It didn't take place in the DCU and there were no other familiar characters in her few stories. Starfire was the first DC heroine to receive her own title since Supergirl in 1972. Her series lasted only eight issues. According to this original series, Starfire's world was long ago involved in a civil war between two castes: the warrior-priests and the Lightning Lords (scientists). Unable to prevail upon each other alone, each caste summoned an alien race to serve their cause. The warrior-priests summoned the Mygorg and the Lightning Lords the Yorgs. The two alien races were hereditary enemies and indeed resumed their war in their new planet. However, both turned the tables on their summoners and intended masters by enslaving them. The world was divided among the two, Mygorg and Yorg, which continued to war against each other. The original human-like inhabitants continued to survive in slavery. Starfire was born as the daughter of two slaves of different skin color. Her father was "yellow" and her mother "white". Both slaves belonged to the Mygorg. Sookarooth, King of the Mygorg took notice of the young girl of mixed heritage and beautiful appearance. He arranged for her to be raised free and educated in his own palace, Castle Mollachon.[1] When Starfire reached her eighteenth birthday, Sookarooth announced her to be his future mate. She fled in disgust but was pursued by the royal forces. She was saved by Dagan, a warrior-priest. The two became lovers and Dagan trained her as a warrior. Starfire became skilled in swordsmanship, archery, tracking, and other skills typical to a warrior-priest. Their shared life ended when Dagan was captured by Sookarooth. He was at first tortured and then executed. A vengeful Starfire returned to Castle Mollachon and raised its slaves in revolt. She slew Sookareth herself and then vowed to free her people from slavery. The following issues had Starfire recruiting additional followers to her side and seeking more effective weapons against the Mygorg, the Yorg, and a number of hostile local factions. The series ended before a resolution could be reached.

The previous Starfire was a mixed-race escaped slave who was trying to free all the slaves and murder the ruling class.

Edge & Christian posted:I'm really confident that they have at least 666 villains, yeah. There are like a dozen people apiece in the Circus of Crime and the Death Throws (evil juggling stable), the version of Masters of Evil that took over Avengers Mansion was 20-30 people, Scourge killed (and the Hood resurrected) 20+ D-list villains, and that doesn't even start to cover the Spider-Man and X-Men villain groups, I could probably come up with a list of 666 Marvel supervillains in about an hour. This would be an incredibly dumb thing to do, but I probably could. I don't think you could.

Edge & Christian posted:I remember that getting reprinted in America in the late 1990s, from what I recall it was a distressingly straight adaptation of the FOX TV show. Though maybe that's just the chapters they translated/republished? Does it use the Japanese theme song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rSw4Xl5qfs
