The Green Team (comics)
The Green Team is a fictional comic book team of rich-kid adventurers published by DC Comics. The team debuted in ''1st Issue Special'' #2 (May 1975), and was created by Joe Simon and Jerry Grandenetti. In its initial appearance, the group was subtitled "Boy Millionaires". In 2010s comics, a revamped version of the group appeared in a series subtitled "Teen Trillionaires", thus adjusting for both inflation and the declining popularity of boy adventurers. Publication history The Green Team's first adventure appears in ''1st Issue Special'' #2 (cover-dated May 1975), an anthology comic. For many years, this would be their only conventionally published appearance. Not long after their debut, a regular ''Green Team'' series went into production, but the DC Implosion prevented it from reaching store shelves. Two issues had been completed at the time the series was cancelled, and these saw publication of a sort in the first volume of ''Cancelled Comic Cavalcade'' (Fall 1978), a two-volum ...

Karl Kesel
Karl Kesel (born January 7, 1959, Victor, New York) is an American comics writer and inker whose works have primarily been under contract for DC Comics. He is a member of Periscope Studio and is best known for his collaborations with fellow artist Tom Grummett on '' The Adventures of Superman'', ''Superboy'', and ''Section Zero''. Biography DC Comics After a friend at college complimented his inking, Karl Kesel began submitting his portfolio to Marvel Comics and DC Comics. Kesel's first work for DC Comics appeared in ''New Talent Showcase'' #4 (April 1984). He soon became the inker on '' Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes'' — so soon, in fact, that he suspected that he was assigned ''New Talent Showcase'' #8 as a test run to see how well he jelled with ''Tales of the Legion'' penciller Terry Shoemaker. Kesel was discouraged that inks which looked smooth and clear on his original pages appeared clunky in the printed comics, and with some guidance from Dick Giordano he studied ho ...

Roller Coaster
A roller coaster, or rollercoaster, is a type of amusement ride that employs a form of elevated railroad track designed with tight turns, steep slopes, and sometimes inversions. Passengers ride along the track in open cars, and the rides are often found in amusement parks and theme parks around the world. LaMarcus Adna Thompson obtained one of the first known patents for a roller coaster design in 1885, related to the Switchback Railway that opened a year earlier at Coney Island. The track in a coaster design does not necessarily have to be a complete circuit, as shuttle roller coasters demonstrate. Most roller coasters have multiple cars in which passengers sit and are restrained. Two or more cars hooked together are called a train. Some roller coasters, notably Wild Mouse roller coasters, run with single cars. History The Russian mountain and the Aerial Promenades The oldest roller coasters are believed to have originated from the so-called "Russian Mountains", speciall ...

The series took place within the DC Universe as part of ''The New 52''. It focused on a group of teenagers, known as The Movement or Channel M, who use their superpowers to fight the corruption in Coral City. Publication history ''The Movement'' was first announced in February 2013, alongside its sister book '' The Green Team''. Simone noted a connection between the two books "almost from the very start. And it's fair to say the two groups won't exactly see eye to eye". When announcing ''The Movement'' and ''The Green Team'', DC Comics released a promotional image which read: "Meet the 99%... They were the super-powered disenfranchised—now they’re the voice of the people!" However, Simone clarified ''The Movement'' was not based solely on the Occupy Movement. She planned to incorporate elements of all social movements ...
