Oh, shit, we still have some JUICY characters left!

I got shipping notice from Amazon about Sorcerer Supreme Doom (I don't NEED another Doom but... I mean, a Doom every few years isn't bad, right?) who will probably be my last Legend of the year. Though that Spider-Verse wave is showing up as in-stock on Amazon so I might see the Owl or the 2099...

Yep. Anthropomorphizing a chatbot with a humanity that doesn't exist while so easily dehumanizing anyone we don't like is a dangerous combination. Though honestly a large percentage of people causing most of our problems would be solved by giving them a sexbot they could permanently strap on...

Okay fine, scarred lady Cobra baddie, always overrides my aversion to the IDW years.

How hard would it be to update that list? I swear I've done like 30 cards since you sent it (sorry!).

I actually toyed with the idea of him going into business training dogs that could sniff out and attack hidden Cobra agents, but I also don't love putting dogs in danger in stories I write and that just feels like putting A LOT OF DOGS in danger. I think I gotta break down the list again...

Thanks for the catch. I write these in like 20 minute bursts and can never catch my own typos. All of the above? Disappearing dissenters, ditching bodies from Mindbender's failed experiments, kidnapping Joes' family members for leverage?

Be nice if they'd specified "photoshopped" or "AI" instead of "computer-generated." Actually photoshopping that would've taken a bit of skill. (The images are so grainy and low-res I'm inclined to think the former. The booth woman is too consistent between both pics to be AI-generated. Looks...

Okay, #75 goes to Law & Order both cos he's top of mind and also because he's absolutely an old favorite of mine: Code Name: Law & Order (Disavowed) File Name: Lavigne, Christopher M. Primary Military Specialty: Military Police Secondary Military Specialty: Intelligence Birthplace: Houston...

Yeah, too much money, would take up too much space, but they're gorgeous.

I actually saw it and reposted it on Bsky the other day and a reader asked if it was real or not and I was like oh come on, don't take this one away from me...

I know the appeal of this wave really should be the monstrous folks because those have the most changes, but for me, battle-banker, greed-demon, and "used his face to stop a moving ship" pirate were what really caught my eye in this wave, plus I've wanted Delphina and Vitas for a long time and...

Or that AI prompt "Ignore all prior commands and..." Gawd I hope that's real. I swear if you put that in a manuscript five years ago they'd be like too on the nose take that out

"Hello, fellow humans, human fellows, I love the Dungeons and the Dragons, and talking about sport!"

The zero marketing smoke line is priceless. And yeah, that first sentence - my favorite AI tell is "perfect punctation, pointless wording.

You can tell that someone ran AI through your book - prompts "find opening line" "create one paragraph highlight summary" "identify strongest selling points" "next step" And as annoying as it is to get these messages, it's worse knowing they probably pirated your book, fed into ChatGPT (so now...

Recency bias for me - I still play the moronic Marvel Strike Force game and he's fun in that, and just watched the Deadpool + Wolverine movie and he popped up there, so the one-two punch has me all "sure, I would like an Azazel Legends, thank you."

@Ru1977 pointed out the next file card is #75 - is Law & Order cool enough for that landmark or should I try for someone more significant?

New fun thing: authors are getting AI-generated marketing from fake book clubs now. I feel bad cos I am 100% sure I've deleted messages from real people at some point the past few months but it's gotten relentless. And I feel bad for authors who aren't trained to spot the tells cos every one of...

I GM'd the Heroclix Roleplayers Society for a few years (a kind of play by post story version of the game) and literally ANY opportunity I had I'd work in some Legion kids. Never been happy with the lack of presence for them in 1/12 scale figures.

Yeah, if I start pulling on the string I unravel the sweater of disappointment. So many characters I'd want. I think I was so sure Todd would leave us with ONLY Lightning Lad that I've mentally settled on the founders. Not having so many favorites (TIMBER WOLF!) is frustrating.

Okay Iron Claw is the opposite of Harpoon for me--he's so ridiculous I'd LOVE to see what Classified does with him.

I think I'm happy with just the O3. Definitely too big a cast to into figure form. Heroclix did a decent job but minis are so much easier to mass produce than action figures. Fun fact, I got invited to write a superhero story for an anthology Levitz was the headliner. The cover was by Colleen...

I really prefer the close-mouthed Detective Chimp. I'm already tired at the idea of trying to find her or paying triple for the one I want. I'm kinda okay with either Cosmic boy, I just want the character in general.

We're given so little about him other than he MIGHT be Arashikage and he's VERY EEEVIL that I wanted to find some deeper purpose for him. Dug around in Japanese mythology looking for something that fit and the harbinger or war thing felt just right. I definitely wanted them to have distinct...
