It's the same thing as the pizza shooter, and people drinking bleach and getting dewormed to fight Covid. Some people will believe anything but the obvious truth. It's the whole reason we have flat earthers and 9/11 truthers

Well, any good criminal knows that the first step toward getting away with your crime is to eliminate the evidence.

Janos Skorzeny, the vampire from the original movie, lent his name to the elder werewolf in werewolf. He was played with gusto by Chuck Conners

This may not seem like a Halloween song like Die Hard doesn't seem like a Christmas movie, but listen to it. It's about Nessie

I don't see why not. If you put the draft on the FH board, please announce it. I don't use that board at all

Vote for Iuz, I will stretch out my skeletal hand from crumbling Dorakaa and raise the dead to serve my will. Their undead labor will drastically reduce necessary costs for infrastructure improvement. I’m pro family, in that all family members shall serve my dark reign or perish…
 
America has shown it’s willingness to be led by dark forces. Isn’t it time we embraced that destiny instead of hiding behind tired slogans?

As a writer, it's unrealistic because you have to make the story make sense and foreshadowing is a thing you use. As a reader, you're invested in the character and the writer just changing something seemingly overnight doesn't go over well unless the change is going to be temporary. Robin getting superpowers would not engender anything more than a look because everyone knows they are going to go away at some point like when Spider-Man was Captain Universe, or when Superman was Superman Blue.

DC Fandom lists 1244 appearances by him in the comic books. That includes nine versions of him from possible futures.
 
Their fan website always runs behind so the real number of comic books would be higher but call it 1244.
 
It's fine to argue that he's only been in the business for 3 years but we've seen a hell of a lot of him. And this is a jarring change of direction from anything that we've seen. We expect a new villain every month but not a new personality trait.
 
The original comment, or at least one of the first comments, of it seeming fake rather than organic was complaining that they didn't get diversity from creating a new character but from altering one that we know very well at this point.
 
Take Marvel's Hulkling and his husband as an example of not making same-sex attraction seem like a last minute tack-on to a very-well established character.
 
Sure, ultimately we don't own the characters and the writers/editors at DC can do whatever the hell they want with any of their characters at any time. But when they make their characters public, they're intentionally allowing us to form opinions about them.
 
Getting back to your original point. most people who get into cross-dressing don't decide to start when they're a young teen either. But if Tim Drake out of the blue showed up for his next mission in high heels and a very stylish female costume, fans would complain about that too.
 
It's not the high heels and stylish female costume that would be the problem but rather the sudden change with no foreshadowing that it'd be a possibility that it might happen. (At least the lack of foreshadowing would be the problem for most fans.)
 
I'll admit that I don't know how to be a teenaged kid in the 2020's. But I doubt the first indication that someone who might be bi is accepting a date (rather than looking at someone's assets, for example).
 
Comic books are a unique medium in that we get to read a character's innermost thoughts as well as see what he's doing. When you get to read a character's innermost thoughts over a large period of time then you get something happen to his personality that he's literally never even thought about, that seems like the author is cheating rather than treating the reader honestly.

fanfiction is also derivative and can be considered owned by the originating author and so can be copyright struck and ordered taken down. That's why fanfiction.net has a list of people you can't base off of like Archie Comics. So as soon as someone notices you're writing about the Shield, Steel Sterling, the Black Hood, or Archie, and reports it your story will be deleted off the servers.
 
What I was talking about was Geoff Johns wrote a letter to Superboy when Karl and Barbara Kesel were writing it about Lex Luthor being Superboy's dad. The Kesels were like we've already covered this and Lex Luthor is definitely not a clone donor. So when Johns started writing the character in one of the Teen Titans variations, this was one of the plots where Superboy found out Lex Luthor was his dad, turned evil and tried to kill the rest of the team. Copies of the letter went around the internet while this was going on.
 
This is also the reason Cyborg got boosted to be a founding member of the Justice League. Geoff Johns saw him on superfriends and when the 80s Titans were gutted, Johns prevailed to put him in a big seven slot. Unfortunately Cyborg's solo book crashed and burned because most of his support cast were Titans which they couldn't use because he was never a Titan.
 
This could be an example of the same thing where Fitzmartin had an idea when she was a kid that Robin should be bi and now can put in play despite the fact that Chuck Dixon, the guy who created and oversaw the character, never even thought this at all. On the other hand, this could have come down from Editorial and she has to live with it.
 
But no it's not a natural thing

On top of this, DC has had ten rewrites to their history since Crisis which is why no one can keep anything straight while Marvel has only had one I think. What they need is Scrivener's and an official archivist
