This is even more retarded than I thought. Not Kalend'r class retarded (seriously, can you read about a character named Kommand'r — or Koriand'r, for that matter — without feeling more stupid for having learned their name? Can you think of Nightwing as anything other than forever tainted for having touched the latter? Yuck! It's like they're trying to stupid their opponents into submission using their dumbass names, or something — there is a reason you get extra-points in the Mary Sue test for unnecessary apostrophes and dumbass spelling, boys and girls! And boy does Koriand'r ever go off scale on that test — not that you wouldn't get a ton of points for pretty much anyone from superhero comics, but Kori melts the meter. If you don't know her — count your blessings! — she's pretty F league; unlike Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman etc., her group is not known outside comic fandom. Consider this: Green Arrow started off as bearded rip-off of Batman, a non-powered millionaire vigilante, if with an arrow-shtick. He used to have an Arrowplane and an Arrowcave, for Pete's sake! Now Batcave, that makes sense, but you'd expect an arrow person to — ah, nevermind. Oh, and didn't Ollie used to have a yellow submarine? Anyway, he was a bit derivative at first, but personable and good-looking, and the arrow bit introduced some difference. But then you get Arsenal, who is to Green Arrow what Nightwing is to Batman, the ex side-kick, and Connor Hawke, Green Arrow 2, the son of the original. That's like a derivative of a derivative! It's a second derivative! It's like bloody maths class all over again! : ) And that's the kind of people who let Kori play on their team — sometimes. When she's not backstabbing them.)) but pretty bad nonetheless. So Aqualad translated to German is ... Aquaboy?? What the --? Doesn't sound very German to me. So, Dinah's Blitzschwalbe, Lightning Swallow, we knew that. And I'm so not going to go there. : ) But what's up with Falkgirl and Blitz Kid? And the Wunders? "Falkgirl" is particularly bad, that's like, uh, Ladyfalk with Rutger Hauer. (Joan D. Vinge by the way is the ex-wife of Vernor Vinge, case you didn't know.) Wassermann on the other hand is kinda amusing, Waterman (not of Stock/Aitken/… fame, fortunately), because he re-translates to Aquarius. And I'm not even going to go into what confusion making Wonder Woman Wundergirl might have caused later on. <shakes her head at the silly krautness> Now, the Femme-chatte, or L'Empoisonneuse … : )
