Paradise Island: Nubia

Drop me off at this island with Nubia and you don't even need to come back.....matter of fact don't come back I'm straight! I guess you can see why/ so why is Nubia not back into DC continuity? It's 52 ways to relaunch ms Prince back into the books, more even. I'm not going to give you my why's. Just read the facts and on this one I really want to hear from the women of comics, movies and or reviews; especially  the Wonder Woman and Artemis fans.

At the height of Linda Carter's Wonder Woman television series, Nubia was to be introduced to the show. A mego or Barbie doll was also put together to go along with the series. Of course it didn't happen. This is a nice collectors item or toy. The four horsemen from DC Universe classics would be my maker of choice for a Nubia action figure. This would give the guys a way to get one too (just looking out).

Nubia is one of those characters that has everything. Backstory (needs to be updated though) A list connections, unique powers and weapons and a variety of different looks to build off of. So what's the problem? With vixen now being used goods in my eyes  http://betaisdead.blogspot.com/2011/02/black-superheroes-vixen.html Nubia could be the the Love interest of the Bronze Tiger in his own title (DC gives everybody else one) or team title (see TaskforceX/the other league)

Nty-way Wonder Woman should get an animated series and Nubia should get some damn exposure.

GEMINI

TASKFORCE X: covert ops network created to fill the void of the retired JSA.

It originally consisted of two branches, the domestic branch/Argent and the international branch the Suicide Squad. Those groups eventuality dissolved until Amanda Waller put together her own version of this team (legends mini series) utterly ruthless, totally expendable. And what you got was the kick ass regiment of killers from Ostranders celebrated run. Later Project Cadmus and Checkmate were added to TaskforceX. Cadmus as a high tech genetic and weapons research division  

 

And Checkmate the worldwide charterd metahuman monitoring force whos operatives are modelled after pieces of a chessboard. One King one Queen and several Bishops. The Bishops oversaw the Rooks behind the scenes while the Rooks planned missions and supervised the field agents the Knights and Knights support paws.  Now a new system is in place, the rule of two. Each superpowered or enhanced member in  the Royal Family must have an unpowered counterpart in the same position of power.

The name TaskforceX has become synonymous with the Suicide Squad. But TaskforceX is actually a trinity of one. The operatives that work on behest of the government are called TFX. And those operatives that are deployed by Amanda Waller are called the Suicide Squad. The third group that operates as the Suicide Squad are employed or loyal only to Waller which is the true TaskforceX.

I almost got a migraine trying to wrap my head around who or what is TaskforceX. So I give it to you guys to see if you could figure out the enigma that is Amanda Waller.

Justice League Atlantis

Right now Aquaman #7 has me excited about reading comics again.

The introduction of this new team of Atlantians that obviously operates outside of water and have their own distinctive power set is a magnificent builder to the Aquaman mythos.   

The story opens with Kahina being chased thru the jungle searching frantically for Ya'Wara to help, hide or fight with her against the merciless terror of Black Manta. At this point it's learned that Manta is hunting the members of the other league because they each hold an ancient relic of importance and in this we have our next story arch; a mystery that actually started with the defeat of the Trench. Aquaman also has a piece of the puzzle that he takes to Dr.Stephen Shin who unlocks a holographic message.

But before R2 can turn off the message, a portal burst open and a sexy amazon (Atlantian) jumps thru attacks Shin and Mera takes over the fight. This is where we see Ya'Wara use her version of mental telepathy to call her black panther for help.

Let me tell you something true believers. This is the action I've been waiting for. I put together a team and post that almost mirror this team and come to find out, I didn't have to. Geoff and his squad did it for me. In a minute Aquaman may find his way on the A list with Batman,Superman and GreenLatern. And Black Manta with the same A+..... beside Lex, Sinestro and the Joker.

the other League

Task Force Elite

Shadow group of heroes called together by Anasi to destroy the coming evil of Asteroth and the demon horde to Earth. The demon abominations have ripped a portal to earths dimension. Demon acolytes are building a new Dooms Doorway at the deepest depth of the ocean where water and fire flow together thru the subterranean world of kothac.

Bronze Tiger goes from the floating Island of Slaughter to the mystic halls of Nanda Parbat, legendary Atlantis and the underground world of cloak and dagger to recruit a master class team of specialist; dedicated to do whatever it takes to eliminate all threats to Earth, interplanetary foreign or super villain domestic.

Bronze Tiger, Aquaman, Nubia, Dawn Manitou, ColdCast, Hardware, Fire and Ice come together as Task Force Elite.

This is my official DREAM TEAM with an exception of a few people I want to throw in. Who would your team consist of with Bronze Tiger, Aquaman and Nubia running point? What other six members would be in the line up?

Iron Fist vs Bronze Tiger

Here is a Marvel vs DC battle and team up I'm sure we all want to see. Cortices of my man David over at the Suicide Squad/TaskForce X blogspot.com

I have to admit this is something I've been wanting to read for like forever. Now fight promoters, bookies, boys and girls what two characters would you put together for the ultimate team up?

This is a magazine I wanted to start inspired by the mini series Legends that also introduced my team the Suicide squad. If anybody can guess who the Lady is in this new team of heroes I'll give them 7 Storm Ridah points. And the first person  who quesses I'll post(almost) any comics related material you send to my email theBuccaneer3000@gmail.com

TIGER STYLE: 7th CHAMBER

In the new 52 universe where what we use to know is not what we know, the Bronze Tiger hasn't shown up in the Suicide Squad title yet. We don't know if he'll show up at all or how he'll be represented (Harley Quinn , Deadshot).

Soooo here's how the number one martial artist of the DCU's skills and powers should be done.

WHY?

Because martial arts represents superior fighting systems developed to enhance the human mind, body and spirit to it's maximum physical and mental abilities.

And what is acheived at the highest levels of Kung Fu.......SUPER HUMAN POWERS to make a long story short; Magic Kung Fu.

With all that said. Heres the challenge for any comic guy or girl that might be tuned in.

1. Can you name any other martial arts character that has powers.

2. Can you name any martial arts style assossiated with a character.

3. Tell me why the Tiger shouldn't have em.

Who's the Baddest !!!!

Ok cosplayers this ones for the heroines that's not afraid to show the hero inside and the ones that know I adore roleplay. Nt way ... here's my suped up Xst over with a splash of anime version of cosplay bliss.

Looking thru hundreds of fan pics and convention galleries I could only come across Vixen, Harly Quinn, thousands of Ivy's but finding the other Squad members took some real hunting and I still had to substitute NightShade and Plastique. Still in the spirit of cosplay I tried to let more than just my team shine.

And as far as a team shots go the Avengers represented

better than the real book.

but For The Win !

Young Justice

that's all I got for right now guys and to all the players, your outfits were beyond good.

They were amazing. Until next time

Long live the Squad.
