wcw43921 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Call her Oracle. That's what I thought Barbara Gordon should have become if she ever regained the use of her.legs--make the Oracle face into a mask, and build a costume around that. Certainly something other than seemingly becoming a teenager again and taking selfies of herself on the subway. Pardon me for venting--I probably didn't help.

bigdamnhero Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Certainly something other than seemingly becoming a teenager again and taking selfies of herself on the subway. I actually like Batgirl of Burnside if taken on its own. And I understand the demographic they're trying to appeal to. But yeah, in terms of the character's overall continuity, it makes no goddamn sense at all. Tho now that I think about it, I'm not sure Babs was ever Oracle in the New 52 continuity?

Cassandra Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Aren't all of those "owned" by DC? DC does have characters with those names, but Artemis and Nemesis are goddesses are as long as you create a whole new character using their names it should be okay, especially in a campaign.

A genius Katherine went to college at an earlier age and by 25 was a doctor in both criminology and medicine, with a reputation as a world class investigator. When her twin brother Stephen became the crime fighter Nighthawk she joined him as his partner the Raven. She is currently married to Bradley Taylor, billionaire industrialist and former U.S. President who was the superhero Ultraman. They have two children, John and Courtney, who are the superhero and heroine Stalwart and Victory. She was retired for a decade but became active again to save her daughter in law, who she doesn't really care for. Appearance: Katherine is 5'10", 140 lbs, with Black Hair and Blue Eyes. Her costume is an all black mask, cape, gloves, bodysuit, and boots. She has been active since the 1940s but appears to be in her late 30s. Powers: Raven is a well trained investigator and martial artist backed by smoke bombs, sleep gas capsules, bolas, and silenced throwing wings. Her costume is biometrical keyed to her physiology and can not be removed. Her growth, flight, and running are her flying car which serves as her mode of transportation. Notes: Katherine doesn't have a secret identity because her friends and family are aware that she's a crime fighter. The Crime Doctor is a criminal mastermind who runs a gang committing medical themed crimes. CRISIS is the U.S. Government Agency responsible for battling super villains which has granted her federal police powers. The Fifth Column in an international crime and espionage organization is a constant threat to law and order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just disappointing dialogue, acting, and--well, everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phydaux Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 How about Foxybat? There was an official Champions Universe female super hero who went by Batfox. She was armed with ping pong paddles specifically to defeat Foxbat's ping pong ball gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
