About Free Spirit

One of my ongoing projects is a serial narrated by Free Spirit (Cathy Webster), who was briefly a sidekick/protégée to Captain America in the mid-90s, but simply hasn’t been heard from in Marvel’s continuity for over a decade to the best of my knowledge. If you are not familiar with Free Spirit, then you might want to follow this link to see what she looks like and learn a little background info. (

Outside Links to Superhero Parodies of Mine

Several of my own "fanfics" about comic book superhero characters have been done as parodies, and for some reason I always do outright parodies in script format. Since FanFiction.net has a hard-and-fast rule against posting script-format fanfics here (for no reason they have ever explained, so far as I know), I can't post those here. But just today (7 February 2007) I have posted a whole bunch of my lengthier superhero-related writings on another website, and that includes several parodies that might appeal to you if you like to see a fellow fan of the superhero crowd poking fun at their peculiarities in an affectionate manner.

Parodies Based Upon Specific Stories

Bratman: Shush (Part 1)
Bratman: Shush (Part 2)
This one will make a lot more sense if you are already familiar with Jeph Loeb's 12-part "Hush" epic. If you aren't familiar with the source material, then be warned that this is full of Spoilers for the plot twists!

Sins Unsurpassed (Part 1)
Sins Unsurpassed (Part 2)

This one will make a lot more sense if you are already familiar with J. Michael Straczynski's 6-part "Sins Past" Spider-Man story arc. If you aren't familiar with the source material, then be warned that this is full of Spoilers for its plot twists!

Arguing Batman's Guilt in the "Tower of Babel"
This one shows how I wish the argument had gone at the end of Mark Waid's "Tower of Babel" story arc in the JLA title, when the other members of the League were arguing about whether to expel Batman for the sin of having secret contingency plans drafted out for use against any of them who went bad. I appointed Kyle Rayner as the sole voice of reason.

Parodies of the Superhero Lifestyle in General

Superhero Panel: "When to tell your sweetheart your secret identity"
Superhero Panel: "When should we overthrow governments?"

In each of these, a motley assortment of Marvel and DC heroes have been invited to sit at a long table for a "panel discussion" on a controversial issue. Some of the things they say in response to the Question of the Day are breathtakingly ridiculous, but all of them are based carefully upon stuff that "really happened" once upon a time in someone's continuity!

Hundreds of years after the Fall of Jump City, how will the Teen Titans be remembered? They never seriously expected to find out, but it's amazing what can happen when you chase larcenous robots through a wormhole!

6. What Your Friends Really Think reviews
Set right after "Trouble in Tokyo." People react to the Starfire/Robin romance, a villain barges in, and some Titans learn things about what other Titans really think. I think it's all funny, but I'm biased.
