Offspring (comics)
Offspring is a fictional comic book superhero in the DC universe. He is the son of Plastic Man, but did not inherit his powers of elasticity, instead gaining them from a watered down version of the acid that granted the original Plastic Man his powers. Prior to his debut, the cartoon series ''The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show'' featured a character called Baby Plas. Character biography Kingdom Come Offspring's first appearance was in a one-shot issue of the same name, a spin-off of the miniseries '' The Kingdom''. His outfit was a predominantly white all-in-one, with black areas laid out in a similar hexagon/pentagon design to a classic 32-panel soccer ball; his hair also had a hexagonal edge to its cut. Offspring later appeared in the final issue of ''The Kingdom'' miniseries, teamed with Kid Flash, Nightstar, and Ibn al Xu'ffasch to attempt to save the timestream from Gog. In this version he is named Ernie O'Brian. He is treated as a joke professionally and personally ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ibn Al Xu'ffasch
Damian Wayne, also known as Damian al Ghul (Arabic: دميان الغول), is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, created by Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert, commonly in association with Batman. He is the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul, and thus the grandson of Batman villain Ra's al Ghul and the potential inheritor of Wayne Enterprises. With the al Ghuls citing Bruce Wayne as the optimal successor to their empire, after faking a miscarriage to his father and calling off their marriage, Talia has kept his existence hidden from Batman until ''Batman'' #656 (2006). In turn, the character is revealed to have originally been intended to "kill and replace his famous father," as well as serving as a host body for Ra's al Ghul, thus, in theory, unifying the Wayne and Demon factions as intended by the al Ghuls. A prototype of the character originally appeared as an unnamed infant in the 1987 story '' Batman: Son of the Demon'', which at the time was ...

Dark Side Club
The Dark Side Club is a fictional underground club in DC Comics, coming to prominence in the ''Final Crisis'' limited series. Fictional history Originating from the ''Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle'' mini-series (there was also an earlier Dark Side Club that appeared in a few issues of ''Justice League International'', but that seems to be unrelated to the current one), the Dark Side Club serves as the stronghold for Darkseid (known as "Boss Dark Side") and the Apokoliptian New Gods stranded on Earth and a recruiting central for new loyal servants. Similar in concept to the former Roulette fight club, the Dark Side Club provides his wealthy patrons with an underground fighting ring, where brainwashed metahumans are forced to fight in often deadly battles. In a human recreation of Granny Goodness' orphanage, the captured metahumans, usually the youngest or the most obscure, are fed drugs concocted by Bernadeth and routinely abused and controlled by Granny. Among the most known vic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Countdown To Mystery
''Countdown'', also known as ''Countdown to Final Crisis'' for its last 24 issues based on the cover, was a comic book limited series published by DC Comics. It debuted on May 9, 2007, directly following the conclusion of the last issue of '' 52''. The series is written primarily by Paul Dini, along with a rotating team of writers and artists. ''Countdown'' consists of 51 issues, numbered in reverse and published weekly for one year. The series covers much of the fictional DC Universe, told in parallel narratives, through the interconnecting stories of a cast of characters. It frequently crosses over with other DC titles. Unlike the ''52'' limited series of the previous year, ''Countdown'' is not depicted as taking place in " real time" but presumably operates on the same floating timeline as DC Comics stories in general. Production history The series follows the success of '' 52'', which, in contrast, did not cross over with DC's other regular titles. ''52'' concluded with the ...
