I fucking love this comic
From the pages of Absolute Power Super Son, Jon Kent isn't just a homosexual, he's also now a chaser. The other character here is Dreamer, a totally original character created by the trans actor, Nicole Maines. Maines played Dream Girl on the CW Supergirl, then was tagged by DC Comics to 'create' and write Dreamer in the mainstream continuity.

He is co-writer of the issue. The main writer is Sina Grace, writer of the multiple failed gay Iceman series.

Moving Jon to the city was the biggest mistake of Clark’s life and he’ll answer for it in Kryptonian hell.

I thought Dreamer died in Absolute Power #2 so is this a dream sequence or another cheap resurrection?

I just realized I hadn't seen Jon and Damian together in a comic in a very long time, dream sequence or not.

Man, they really botched Super-Sons, didn't they?

I was apprehensive on yet another teen generation at first.... but Jon and Damian sold me via Super-Sons, and I was actually liking they seemed to add more 4th gen (IE Damian's) teen heroes like (Wall)Ace as Kid Flash, Emiko as Speedy/Red Arrow, hints on a new girl buddy of Jon/Damian's (I forget her name) becoming a properly-sidekicked Wonder Girl, hell, throw in that new "Teen Lantern" into this would-be team. Yeah Jon was only ten years old and Damian a manlet, but you could jigger and slightly retcon ages to get Jon slightly older to fit in, or others a bit younger, to feel like a proper neo-Teen Titans or Young Justice. And you could even begin graduating the 3rd/Tim Drake Young Justice gen into unique identities and reunite them as a team once more.

But, alas. They botched Jon so hard, and chained to Batfamily-fags' love of Tim despite having no use for him come Damian since he was always meant to just be "Robin", that outside the obvious context of the JL and Titans' gens becoming older by default with new hero gens... that they were forced to awkwardly bring back Young Justice while suddenly being stuck with the new 4th gen of teen heroes. Throw in continuity becoming a terrible mess since the 5G debacle and.... yeah. It all feels so... cluttered.

If I could ever truly do a reset on the DCU I think I'd stick to just the Silver and Bronze Age "early and early-mid" years when you only have the Justice League and an initial teen generation of heroes to succeed them, no matter who you actually pick to be in that. And I say that as someone growing up in the 90s and 00s and seeing Post-Crisis go from a mess to something of a renaissance of DC storytelling momentum as continuity cleaned up and "cliche" ideas or storylines got a fresh look all over again for a new age and a sense and practice of "legacy/succession" permeated those days.
 
I have a question for any Punisher fans on the board; Would the Punisher kill a non-offending pedo? Let’s say Frank gets the help of Xavier or Dr. Strange or someone like that to see the guy’s being honest, the guy never touched a kid, never even looked at CSAM… does Frank still put a bullet in him?

Yes

Oh you mean someone who never touched a kid? Then no. He's black and white morality.

He would probably intimidate the guy first to change himself. If not, for having the potential of harming the innocent he will get what he deserves. Frank was a father of 2 so that must be more anger inducing for him.
I remember seeing people talking about why Frank killed the rest of the ship filled with corrupt business people after getting rid of Barracuda and his employer offing himself. They were still on board with carrying out the employer's plans and Frank did what he had to do. Executing has nothing to do with it.

Interesting… I was curious ‘cuz I got blitzed with friends the other night and we were talking about Punisher and the wildest shit he’s done haha

That was me. My issue wasn't with the people working for him, it was the shareholders and waiting staff on the boat. Those people weren't involved, they didn't know anything and they're pretty shocked when they find out.

If it was just his employees, that's one thing, but he was specifically aiming to get the corrupt CEO (who wasn't even on the boat at that point).

What happened to the biological male he was fucking? Wait no that's Robin I'm thinking of? Ugh shit gets complicated.
 
That Dreamer arc in AP was frustratingly stupid. Waller is a non-meta person, devious and capable, but Dreamer is supposed to be a procog with other enhancements. That whole thing was beyond stupid. I miss when they'd have smart people sitting in the writing room picking apart the story to get it as tight as possible.

no because that's be transphobic.
 
That's another thing, Dreamer is drawn as, at best, a kinda unremarkable woman. The bodytype is clearly female. You're told it's a transwoman, but the artist either can't or won't draw an ambiguous/male body with female characteristics. Maybe they did, but the art was sent back and the artist was told THIS IS A HECKIN VALID TRANSWOMAN CHUDDIE CHANGE THE HIPS/SHOULDERS/RIBCAGE RIGHT NOW. Or maybe the artist didn't want to deal with any of that. Or maybe Dreamer was originally female, the art was drawn, changes were made and the script was modified with the art not being updated.

In the DC universe of Magic, Future Tech, Alien Technology/Magic and Cloning/Mind Transfer, would "current era surgical results" be a factor? We all accepted Old Man Dax on deep space nine because A) alien mind organism transplanted into a symbiotic alien body and B) Terry Farrell was fucking gorgeous and not an awful actress.

It's all so tiresome.

Meanwhile, Bizarro is in the corner looking like most IRL trannies we read about.

That’s frankly an insult to Bizarro, who unlike trannies is a ray of sunshine whenever he shows up. He’s #1 after all.

i just find it fucking funny because they keep pushing this shit and it always blows up in their face

you know what? I'm tired of DC and Marvel keeping this weird shit with "humanize XYZ hero by making them more gay/oppressed" like nigga, that shit doesn't fly. One of the best Superman stories ever written touched on the seemingly simple truth of his alien nature; he couldn't have kids. I mean it's been retconned, but "For the man who has everything" made excellent use of his alien aspect to remind us of this.

Good writing uses these little truths we take for granted and twists them a little. Lecturing me about how oppressed troons are or about how superheroes should check their privilege doesn't do jack shit. If any of these retards had a halfway decent mentor or editor that told them to go watch Twilight Zone or read good fiction, they'd know way more about how to execute stories.

Dreamer makes me pissy because I liked the original Dream Girl from the Legion. From what I can tell, this is some "ancestor" of hers that settled into the 21st century. The LoSH's 70s-80s-90s era had a lot of fun space opera and sci-fi stuff. Even their last hurrah right up to Zero Hour was still fun.
