EXCLUSIVE: "Earth 2" #4 Cover Introduces Hawkgirl

[pryde15]

With the possible exception of Lyta any pre-relaunch birth kids of E2 heroes, especially JSA members, could be in the same danger

The easiest pre-relaunch ex-Infinitors to recreate as perhaps slightly younger peers could be those who were unrelated proteges, such as Al and Norda

But any possibility of this could depend not only on James' DC-approved plans but also if the E2 reaches enough of a measure of success to allow for that kind of expansion for the team and its members' lives to be justified!

I think Hector Hall would be somewhat easy to adopt into Earth-2 if they made him Dr. Fate and removed them from the Hawks's history. But I agree the ones who are related are going to be hard to bring into the fold.

About the Infinity problem, I think time travel would be an interesting twist in their origins. Instead make them contemporaries to the heroes, make them future sons and daugthers coming from the future.
The idea of infinity Inc. always was to be earth 2 (Pre-COIE) "Teen titans". That was the cause why after the crisis they don't live up to much time. Their leiv motiv was taken away

This is plausible. Earth 2's Infinity Inc = Prime Earth's Legion Lost/LOSH

If Kendra's wings are real, do you think they would give her a connection to Feithera? If so, she could be related to Northwind/Norda. Also, since it's a big reboot of the Earth-2 concept, why not give Skyman another chance. I really miss the original Infinity, Inc. characters too. :-)

A very nice design that very well emphatizes the egyptian angle ;plus the fact that she looks like she could ACTUALLY be from egyptian descent it is even better.I also like the guns;I love how it harkens back to the old pulp heroes;however I hope she still has the mace and other traditionnal hawkweapons(Horus claw most of all).This universe really looks like it will be way more interesting than the prime one;in one issue there was more than in an entire Justice league arc;plus the art is vastly superior.

That's a great idea too

It also nicely dovetails back to Inf Inc.'s original early 80's origin, which had them appearing in several issues of All-Star Squadron as the future children and proteges of several of the heroes featured in that issue

I like the Time travel idea;it would allow to include them without tweaking their origins too much(for some reason I do not want Jade and Obsidian NOT linked to Alan Scott).However time travel stuff is tricky;if not handled well it can easily become very very bad.

[Bo-Man]

I am ready to see Al Pratt as The Atom and Hourman as well!

She would just be African unless she were born in the US. African-American only applies to people of African descent born in the US. A lot of people get this wrong ( calling Jamaicans, Haitians, etc. African Americans)

Potential children from a potential future. But they don't know what events are vital to their survival---some things might occur that contradicts their remembered history, but they still exist...

Your right it might be tough but it would make my day if Hector came back.

DeFalco is writing Teen Titans??? I thought he wrote Legion Lost.

Co-writing while the Culling is going on. He's been "helping" on Superboy too. I don't particularly hate him by himself, but with Lobdell, they have the Bizarro version of chemistry. It just makes me cringe constantly. Totally killed the momentum and gravitas of the book, as well as the humor parts. So sad. :(

This, a thousand times.

SKYMAN! The name's too good not to use, I think.

I think if we are to see these characters they will be the original JSAer's peers rather than the second generation, which is fine with me if that means they are going to appear. I think Jade and Obsidian have the least chance of appearing given their father's deaging.

Based on the podcast allusions to an appearance by a character who began to be changed in a controversial way in Robinson's Justice League, I'm guessing Obsidian is in issue #2 but not in his right mind. They might just leave his origin mysterious for now--perhaps hinting at a link to Alan, but not pinning anything down.

[CyberCoyote]

Just freaking beautiful.. I'm more primed for these issues than ANY comic in the past decade.

not to mention african american should not automatically mean black...years ago i new a white guy born in the U.S. but whose white parents were south african...would he not be african american???
