In the the event that was called non-canon after the fact, countdown. She also refers to Jason Todd as "Re-Todd". There's a litany of things wrong with that story and it was ignored and forgotten after the fact so...

Huh, surprised Linkara didn't mention that in his review of the series.

I've felt in the past that it'd make sense to have Diana's father be human, and have one of her reasons for wanting to come to Patriarch's World is to see the world her father came from. She'd still be superhuman, as she'd be part Amazon, but she'd have a more intrinsic reason for wanting to connect with the rest of the world.

Completely forgot all about Countdown. Maybe I should re rea- wait a second, is that that one comic series filled with OOC Moments, plot holes, character derailment, and the worse case of depending on writers?

If so then fuck that. No way am I reliving that waste of a good weekend again.

[up] I would agree, but for some reason that would make her a lot like Aquaman with that half human origin . . . you know it could work as this will be the reversed version of Aquaman.

[up][up] Is that still Aquaman's origin? I thought Peter David rewrote it so he was entirely Atlantean but given the boot for having blond hair (a bad sign among Atlanteans, apparently) and simply raised by a human. Or that he was the human incarnation of an ancient Atlantean hero or god or something. Or maybe all of that.

Aquaman has had a ridiculous number of origins, given how little impact any of the differences seem to have on him.

Did we ever get an 'official' origin for BB&TB Aquaman?

Geoff Johns brought back the half-human thing in Brightest Day, and it stuck. Post-Flashpoint Arthur Curry is half-human.

The five best Superman writers are Dan Jurgens, Jeph Loeb, Geoff Johns, Kurt Busiek, and Peter J. Tomasi.
