Big Barda and Dart

 

With this adventure, Barda has finally completed her new team.  I did see at least one correct guess in the comments, congratulations!  Regular visitors will remember that she recruited Xena in STF #5011, Hellcat in STF #4964 and Red Sonja in STF #4881. Now all that remains is for the New Furies to assemble together.

And the other question...who is worth their wrath??

Where does thus Dart come from? I only know the one from Savage Dragon...

Credit for the wildly correct guess goes to Anon9AM @ New Year's Day. A-lass! Starfire of Lightning League is relegated back to Suggestion Limbo, again. :-(

On the upside, who better than a video game heroine to help hunt down big game like the Blip? ;-)

Dart was a member of Atari Force

Atari force meets sonic the hedgehog or mortal kombat or mario and luigi

And Atari Force was a comic book that came free with classic Atari video games like Phoenix, Defender, and Galaxian.

Oops! Misjudged my trajectory.

Either that, or you need specs, dude. :-(

Space Ghost's monkey has apparently seen better days.
Oh, different Blip.

OK, here's a Politically Incorrect question...

If these are the "Female Furies," who would be the "Male Furies"? Would that group start with the likes of Wiccan, Northstar, Soldier Boy, and the Golden Age Green Lantern?

I was right! ;) DART!

I don't think Granny Goodness thought that one out when creating the original Furies.

Jason Toddman said...

In the original Greek myths ALL furies were female, because women were supposed to be... well, furious, mean, and, well, you get the idea. Old style misogyny. There were no male versions in Greek or Roman mythology that I can discover. But if you want male versions, seems to be you'd pretty well have to start with the Hulk if you wanted to be literal about the root traits furies had; namely, their anger and desire for revenge. Though the Furies that are collected here don't really fit that original concept quite as well anyway. Just as well or they'd mostly be villainesses by today's standards.

Atari Force was published by DC. Doesn't this violate the STF rule about not pairing characters from the same company?

But Barda _is_ recruiting for a bigger team... and the Blip is Marvel, so... ok.

ShadowWing Tronix said...

DC published it but it was a licensed product for Atari, even the regular comics series that continued from the promo minicomics. It doesn't exist in the regular DC continuity. I don't even think it was wiped out in the Crisis. So there's a decent loophole to allow her in.

Couldn't have said it better, myself. Although, I certainly tried! :-)
