SKJAM!

NSG, I'm sure you mean well, but "appeal to worse problems" is commonly used by "concern trolls" to dismiss actual but relatively small parts of a larger issue.  The idea is to force feminists or other civil rights activists to waste time establishing that yes, they are also working on the big things, and derail the discussion of the smaller problems that perhaps could be fixed more easily.

President Jon Terra wasn't a villain in the original Jet Justice series, being a fairly benevolent father to Melinda, and a pompous blowhard to Jet.  However, something happened on the way to our world that has twisted his mind, and he now seeks to become President of Earth again, no matter what it takes.  He's also gained the power to control bureaucracy so that government officials are always on his side unless mentally shielded.

You're slipping back into the "post link without a line of explanation" thing again.  For those wary of such things, it's a webcomic about risk assessment when it comes to dating someone you haven't met before.

Okay, for the Grey List...
 
Bryce (or is it Brice?  Brace?) Eborn is the Houseguest.  His one power is being able to walk into any building and have people assume he's meant to be there.  Thus, he manages to have a fairly steady living as an extra, and saves money by crashing at other people's cribs.  You're pretty sure you've met him before, but can't quite put your finger on it.  His preferred method of becoming a houseguest is simply to stay late after a party--usually the hosts were too drunk last night to remember if they actually invited him to stay.
 
What makes him an actual villain is casing places for robberies, and issuing invitations to vampires.  He doesn't do this often, to avoid raising his profile, but Bryce has a gambling problem and needs cash infusions every once in a while.

Chaos Butterfly was once an ordinary butterfly until it was bitten by a radioactive human and gained hyperintelligence and (by butterfly standards) immortality.  Now it knows the exact small actions to take in the exact spot to cause enormous disasters.  Soon it will be the smartest being left living on Earth.  That will show those humans!

For worldbuilding purposes, mention might be made of the first openly gay superhero.  "Yeah, the 1970s wasn't a good time for that, but someone had to be first."

Sebastian Quan, Esq. started his professional career as a hero-hater.  He was convinced that these "masked hoodlums" were reckless lawbreakers that needed to be taken down, and used his considerable legal skills to that end.  He didn't notice, though his friends and family did, that he was becoming steadily more irrational on the subject.
 
Then came the night when he was kidnapped by a villainous group that wanted to gain access to the extensive database his office had created of dirt on superheroes.    When the Champions attacked the baddies, Mr. Quan disregarded his own safety and strode into the middle of the battle to harangue the heroes.  A mishap involving magical probability bolts, radioactive waste and an exploding Malvan hyperdrive component put the lawyer into the hospital.
 
When he awoke several days later, Sebastian found his mind clearer than it had been for years.  He now remembered meeting with a man who later became notorious as a mind-controlling supervillain, and being subjected to brainwashing.  This same villain had repeated the process several times to keep him enthralled.  That villain visited Mr. Quan in the hospital, but this time his powers had no effect, and the villain was captured.
 
Under the circumstances, Sebastian Quan felt obligated to undo some of the damage he had caused, and his law firm now aids superheroes with legal issues.  You accidentally blew up the mayor's car?  Your trademarked catchphrase is being used without payment?  You need zoning clearance for your hero base?  You don't understand the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor, and the other heroes laugh at you?  Angels' Advocate will help you out.

The being known as Pancake has a very simple motivation for its hatred of giants..It used to be a normalish human until a gigantic villain stepped on it.  An adaptive mutation allowed Pancake to survive as a two-meter wide, one centimeter tall circle of flesh, but it can never be returned to its original form.  It's not always useful in a fight with giants, but its hatred never wavers.

As was said before, that is just sick, twisted and awesome.  I may have to steal it for my game.
 
Chris.

This is pretty damn twisted.
 
Well done.

What can I say? I don't like Jim Lee's art or that of his clones much.  What is acceptable is a moving target, and IMO that is a good thing if it means less silliness in drawing the female form.  Posing women so as too have both their butts and breast sticking out has gotten a lot of criticism lately and that has made it less easy to not notice (and be bothered by) such absurd composition.
 
However, for me the big thing is that this Wonder Woman.  She shouldn't be drawn like she is teenage girl.  Yes, she has long been drawn with good size breast, but she has also long since drawn as being old enough to have those breast.  Also, not surprisingly since I'm a guy, I'm perfectly fine with male power fantasies comic books with hypersexualized depictions of women.  I'm not fine with Wonder Woman being such a book.  Wonder Woman is suppose to be about female empowerment.  That is what William Marston intended it to be, and what has made the book unique and enduring.  Good Wonder Woman writers get that, and the way to get bad Wonder Woman is not to buy their work so that they get sacked from the title due to poor sales.

"Picking their incident more carefully" seems a tricky business to me.  From what I've seen of the "white guy with gun kills unarmed black person" protests, the incidents that spark the most outrage are those where the authorities seemingly go out of their way in the early going to make it clear that the killer is going to get off scot-free.  And it only twists the knife if the authorities label the reaction to an outraging event as the problem to be solved, rather than the outraging event itself.
 
And honestly, what would it take to convince a jury (grand or otherwise) that the white police officer (or wannabe) was committing murder of an unarmed black person?  There's always some sort of excuse that could be used.

Hunh? No. No. If we consider Al Sharptonas an obnoxious, self-interested activist, then this line of thinking is taking us in a very bad direction. People who say things you disapprove of or disagree with are good for you. (At least to the point where slander and libel laws intervene; but that's why you have those laws.)
 
If we consider him as an activist--- Look, this whole thing with discrimination against, and oppression of, out groups (for example, Black Americans, Canadian Indians) is a real human problem that causes untold suffering and misery. Bringing attention to this problem  is not what creates it.
 
If we consider him a con artist and opportunist who gins up trouble where there is none to be had --Well, here we're running up on the whole slander and libel thing. There is some social damage being done there, but it's pretty trivial compared with, say, Glenn Beck (lost any money on gold, lately?) or, better example, Bernie Madoff. Putting salt in an open wound for a living is a bad thing, and I'm not defending Al Sharpton for it. But it's a good way of reminding everyone that the wound exists.

But as a nation we aren't grieving the deaths in the Washington shooting, not compared how a parent feels over the death of a child.  The cold, unvarnished truth is that for most people the shooting doesn't rise above the level water cooler conversation in it's impact on them.  Of course to the parent and loved ones of the two girls that died this is likely the most devastating event of their lives.  However, it is unlikely they will ever hear about Ms Sarkeesian's remarks unless someone deliberately brings her comments to their attention.  So, I don't see her comments as being disrespectful to the parents.
 
We talk about what is in the news cycle.  It is what we do as a nation. It is how we have discussions about important issues, because we don't have the attention spans to talk about these things when they aren't right in our faces.  So after the tragedy in Benghazi FOX news pushed their agenda and the Sandy Hook tragedy MSNBC had their own agenda to move along.  It may be unbecoming but it is a game that everyone plays, and singling Ms Sarkeesian out as a sleazy moron [Patten Ghost] and a troll [you] for playing the game strikes me as arbitrary.

More or less, except that the "we care about journalistic integrity, really" people only started popping up after the harassment started getting negative press, presumably trying to do damage control for their in-groups.  The "only fringe elements that have nothing to do with our core culture" defense, if you will.

Trinary is a machine lifeform who doesn't think of vwiself as an invader, so much as a missionary.  Vwi was sent as part of the Gr#g((( Collective to convert all beings to Lj&b++ianism.  Vwi has three forms, bipedal, tank and jet, all heavily armed.  Trinary's greatest strength is also vwi's greatest setback--vwi's trinary operating system is completely incompatible with all Earth OS, so Trinary cannot use Vwi's machine telepathy to control Earth machines, but also cannot be affected by Earth beings' machine control powers.
 
Trinary is confused by Earth's binary genders--Vwi's species has three genders that roughly translate into "sweet" "sour" and "quark."  Trinary is quark, but tri-curious.  Trinary is also confused by Replikant's mono-gendered species, but bears it no ill will as they can easily share the planet.

Replikant is a lizardish alien whose invasion army is all itself.  With access to enough food, it can produce a new one of itself in three minutes.  It likes the taste of human flesh, but is able to use any carbon-based life form as fodder.  The other Invader Seven who happen to be carbon-based plan to kill it with fire once it has served its purpose, Replikant plans to eat them once they've served theirs.

Breaker was born Dushane Shlaes and was known as "Ball Breaker" when he ran with the gangs in his home of East LA.  He found Allah in prison, and for the first time really studied Malcolm X's philosophy (as opposed to using sound bites to justify petty crime.)  Breaker does community outreach to help street kids learn about their cultural heritage and the righteous path.  He's a reasonably devout Muslim who believes righteous deeds are more pleasing to Allah than a rigid conformation to petty rules:  he sticks with them himself unless a life needs to be saved, but won't hassle others.  
 
Breaker's name comes from his ability to shatter rigid objects.  He's also a very fit street fighter; he no longer fights for pride or wrath, but for compassion.
