And now I'm reminded of that scene in the comics with Doctor Light about to rape a bunch of teenagers he dressed up like the Teen Titans.
Disgusted, but not surprisedThankfully, the Spectre shows up and kills him before he does the deed.
Ever since DC decided to make Doctor Light a rapist in Identity Crisis, that's been his primary trait.
Oh, and let's not forget that one time Mirage raped Nightwing by shapeshifting into Starfire and having sex with him while pretending to be her.
And then there was the creepiness around Marv Wolfman's blatant self-insert Terry Long...

Disgusted, but not surprisedI think that was erased in the New 52.
Another thing I realized is that DC has two Japanese superheroes who share their monikers with villains that were re-worked into being more reprehensible. You have Kimiyo Hoshi the Japanese and female Dr Light and you have Hiro Okamura who shares the Toyman name with the guy who murdered Cat Grant's son.
The Dr Light thing is so weird because, as Linkara stated, he wasn't that much of a pushover before this retcon. In an issue written prior to Identity Crisis he once took control of one of Kyle Rayner's constructs to use against him. This was not a guy that needed to be retconned into a rapist to be seen as more threatening. Hell, if they had to feature rape in a story why not use Deathstroke? He actually did have a history of doing it and was already a Memetic Molester from the Teen Titans cartoon.
Or Starfire and his friends treating it like he'd deliberately cheated on Kory.
I've come across a lot of people who dislike Donna Troy for no reason other than she was paired with this guy.

Pantha outright called him a slut. So add Slut-Shaming too. And this was apparently played for humor.

Disgusted, but not surprisedWolfman's Titans work has not aged very well to say the least.
On a lighter note it feels like Cassandra has been getting a lot more appearances in adaptations as of late. She’s in the newest season of Young Justice, is the central macguffin of the upcoming Birds of Prey movie. And is apparently going to be in Gotham (which given what they’vedone To Bane I’m pretty skeptical about)

You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don't do. You don't get to choose to not pay a price.Linkara kicks off 2019 with another review of an issue of Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters:
Holy crap, Lewis managed to get an episode out one time?!
Ukrainian Red CrossNice way to kick off the New Year.
Well, he did say he was going to try to stay closer to schedule this year. Though the retrospective he's going to put out may hinder that.
Batman faces off against the Xenomorphs in Linkara's review of Batman/Aliens #1.
Ron Mars... that name sounds familiar but I can’t quite put my finger on it
You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don't do. You don't get to choose to not pay a price.Where does the "One Face" gag originate?
This.
Quick, before ContentID nabs it! It's Linkara's review of Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel!
Forget assembling the Avengers in Endgame. Just throw Perry the Platypus at Thanos and let him do his thing.
The reason Squirrel Girl is considered the most powerful hero in the Marvel Universe is because knowledge of the existence of Perry the Platypus is classified.
Pokémon 15x19-20: Cilan Takes Flight & An Amazing Aerial Battle
Holy Skyla on the thumbnail.
Where there's life, there's hope.What, no comments over the camera practically drooling over Skyla, with a stripperific outfit? Alright then.
At least there is no Brock around to make the drooling explicit.
Optimism is a duty.Kind of weird for a big DC fan to have any objections to a character never aging.

Between Deathstroke, Dr Light and Trigon the Titans have had three villains who are rapists. If DC gets tired of the "teen sidekicks all grown up direction" maybe they can re-work it into a Law & Order: SVU style series.
