[40 / 2 / ?]
EVERYONE GET IN HERE!
I'm the guy that suggested Superman and Icon have an ongoing monthly team-up fighting Intergang in Metropolis.
Superman and Icon play basketball with the inner-city youth, and they help kids in trouble of falling through the cracks regain their bright and promising futures.
So.. Anyway..
I was thinking how interesting it is that in the 90s and early 2000s there was a huge push for black heroes, then it just dropped off the face of the Earth.
So, I present to you.
The Electric Company.
Founding/Reoccurring Roster:
Steel
Mr. Terrific
Cyborg (Yes I know he's a full-time Leaguer, but bear with me.)
Steel: John Henry Irons, aeronautics engineer with NASA, until budget cuts sent him home to Metropolis, and to work as a common construction worker. Superman's arrival (MoS) inspires Irons to build a super suit and help out. "One man can't do it alone."
Victor Stone: College football quarterback headed for the Big Leagues until a cosmic accident robs young Vic of his promising future. In an attempt to save his son's life, Doctor Stone merges Victor's DNA with an experimental Kryptonian living metal. With help from Superman, Cyborg was born. "Half man, Half machine.. All hero!"
Mr. Terrific: Michael Holt is the world's second smartest man, a title barely anyone remembers him for. Consumed by jealousy Michael dons the alias of Mr. Terrific and starts a gang called "The T's". What follows is a cyber crime wave unlike anything Metropolis has ever seen. When Superman stops the Ts from blowing up Metropolis' central fiberoptic lines, Mr. Terrific nearly kills him with an electric shock measuring in the gigawat range. Overcome by guilt, Mr. Terrific abandons the fight, but is later freed from prison by Superman, who plead for Michael's freedom sighting that his genius could be used for great advancements in technology and the human condition. Superman acts as Mr. Terrific's parole officer.
