Awesome!

That is true Crane’s main power is his knowledge of fear and psychology which is what he uses to torture his victims psychologically and secondly the chemicals but he does also have knowledge of drunken boxing

Is he going to be the Scarebeast

Oh yeah Yellow Lanterns are fear Crane should have a yellow power ring

Oh yeah that is so cool so like the Penguin Scarecrow has trained birds but specifically crows (duh)

Hawkman Sweet

Luthor at last!

That was awesome mentioning the game was rigged

OH What’s happening is Luthor achieving something like the Joker’s supersanity which allows him to deal with the modern world better than anyone else especially true in the DCverse

Cool the Witch neat

Wow. That's wonderfully dark, and there's only two reasons I don't think I'm going to have nightmares tonight: one, I intend on reading a lot of other (less freaky) stories before going to bed; and two, it wasn't illustrated. Good job.

Forgot to say reminds me of The Authority

Sweet

El Dorado was cool

what about Aztek

Within the minds of a madman, like Lex Luthor, can lie a cunning story such as this one. :D

You're off to a good start and I would like to encourage you to keep up the good work upon this great idea. ;)

Forgot to say the emotional spectrum entities got me thinking of Warhammer and Warhammer 40K's Chaos Gods who are given life through humanities own emotions and desires

I'm glad you're doing something with this I really like the idea I heard about Rainbow Girl who could command the entire emotional specrtum so I'm guessing with enough training and control she could learn how to command entities like Ion and Parralx and the others whatever they may be as well as the rings powers of all colors

Black got me thinking of white and grey as well

Alright Apache Chief what about El Dorado and Samurai

Why do the heroes not share their skills and technological breakthroughs with law enforcement agencies and the medical community a little bit could do far more good then beating up thugs and psychos fight ignorance and poverty crime at source not causes it's like they're social darwinists with messiah complexes sanctimonious hypocrites

I'd like to see Neron, King Snake, Mordru, Gog and Magog, Devastation, Axis Amerika, Maxima, Lobo, Tommy Monaghan, Nuclear Man, Truimph, Doomsday, Mongul, Ultrahumaite, maybe Grodd and Darkseid

Do you mean Constantine Drakon

Have you heard of series called the Domination of Draka I found an online review (h t t p colon slash slash thescorp dot multics dot org slash 22stirling dot h t m l) and the last two paragraphs though you should probably read the whole thing to understand it sum up some good thoughts The vital question is raised, a question grasped most notably by Nietzsche but since stifled in a smother of liberal egalitarian Political Correctness, of whether Man has any future unless he does seek to transcend himself, to take the next evolutionary step, to become the Superman. Stirling’s disillusioned environmentalist activist Carstens is very probably right when he observes "It’s in the nature of humanity to foul its nest. You’d have to change human nature: that’s why I gave up"(and, parenthetically, why this reviewer gave up his own political activism some years ago). Homo sapiens fouls its nest socially and personally as well as ecologically. That’s why the weakness of other utopias, such as William Morris’s, is that, to be realistic, they probably couldn’t be built in the first place and they certainly wouldn’t last if they were. Human weakness, corruption, stupidity, vanity and greed would rot them from within or destroy them from without. The weary record of history - as Gibbon observed "little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind", - indicts humanity and condemns it, if it will not save itself by transcending itself, to certain extinction, along with much of the top tier of the biosphere. Shown a vision of that biosphere, the living world, redeemed, Carstens can but be confounded: "I never dreamed…I never thought human beings could be such stewards of the Earth". To which the only answer which will ever be possible is Gwendolyn Ingolfsson’s: "They can’t. I’m not human".

As Nietzsche saw, Man is not the end and pinnacle of evolution, but merely a step along the way. Intelligent life in the true sense has yet to appear on Earth – as is perfectly evident from the sorry saga of history all the way to the headlines in today’s newspapers. Unless we choose to create it ourselves, it probably never will. As long as we remain, as Nietzsche put it, Human, all too Human, we are as a species doomed. A fate Stirling’s Draka, for all their spectacular infringements of "human rights" etc. chose to escape by not remaining human. If we do choose racial self-transcendence, no matter what the cost, no matter what the means, then our descendants, better in every way than us and living in a world they built better in every way than our own, will be able to say proudly with Stirling’s Gwendolyn Ingolfsson: "I’m not human. But my ancestors were, and what they dreamed, we are". It is a dream Friedrich Nietzsche dreamed, long ago. And a dream S.M. Stirling portrays vividly today. It is a dream we must make reality tomorrow. One way or another. If not the way Stirling shows us, then another way at least as effective. Or the future for us all, in the long run, will be a nightmare worse than any dystopian fiction, ending almost inevitably in the extinction of humanity. An extinction, unlike that of any other species, which will not be misadventure but suicide. Suicide through terminal stupidity and cowardice.

So I have no problem with it as long as they say yes it is evil but it's necessary as long as they say it's evil

Also the leader of Kobra once beat Batman in single combat

Not entirely sure what to make of that it was pretty cool

what exactly did happen to Manta

Anyway cool

Now I am not accepting beta requests, but I can take a look at your story to see what's up.

The imagry is very well done - the descriptions are top notch, but at times it gets a little too much so I can see how some people will just end up skimming to reach some dialogue. A lot of people naturally do this; either you can be too vague or too descriptive and in some cases I kind of think that some details can be omitted. A fanfic does not require too much detail into things one already knows from the canon already.

Like for instance, when describing the rooms. You really don't need that information.

Forgot to say I'm glad the government has Cadmus, Suicide Squad, Checkmate, and the Elite

I really liked what you said about monsters not evil endure in an uncaring world

Also that is a point imperfect clone I never liked when a villain has the same powers as the hero (though it is kind of cool of opposite powers but Superman's are kind of too generic except for heat vision to Bizarro's freeze vision that is kind of what I also like opposite powers it is so much easier and kind of a cop out with elements)he or she should be superior though usually only slightly in terms of raw power though sometimes greatly enhanced powers but much greater mastery as well as superior intellect I always figured Luthor would make a clone stonger, faster, smarter better then Superman (and if you make this happen to Bizarro I would really like it)and armies of them unwaveringly loyal to him perhaps the same with other hereos or even villains as well

most of Flash's foes while tough blue collar guys they're genius scientists

This was cool

Forgot to say that while I know some criminals are psychologically damaged and obsess over revenge on heroes instead of using their minds and/or other talants for legitimate business causes or not illegal which could probably be far more profitable then any crime spree let's take Dr. Alchemy the Philosopher's stone allows him to have immortality, telekenisis, and the ability to transmute any element into any other like gold thus the ability to create infinite riches for himself and all he does is commit petty crimes and rob banks with it, heroes can be sanctominous hypocrites and not utilitarian and not pragmatic and I can see how one might want to dedicate his or her life to proving them wrong
