But I might be wrong

your eventual hair color was pre-programmed in your genes, if none of your parents or other ancestors hadf it you might be a mutant. If your genes are changed after your birth not much would happen to you, except maybe regenerative tissue looks a bit different after healing or you get a tumor. It could also cause a change of hair color over time, but to change your genetic code once you are developed is something incredibly improbable. Especialy if it were for more than just a few cells. And even if it happened you wouldn't be a mutant, because science said so.

Ok, i didn't read comics much as a kid, so someone help me out here: Who's the magic guy?

I'm pretty sure I read that blond hair (AKA 'my hair colour') appeared somewhere between the first appearance of Homo Sapiens Sapiens and now

Illustrated Science* lied to me!

By the way, isn't most of our cells replaced over seven years? Besides, something must change if radiation can cause following generations to be mutants... Or is that just me being a teenager with little knowledge of advanced biology?

I don't know his name here but he is a parody of Captain Marvel.

He is a little kid transformed into an adult superhero by the phrase ZHAZAM! which makes a lightning bolt that transform him but hurt others (even Superman, who is rather weak against magic)

Also known as the one who is a bigger boyscout than Superman.

*That's a magazine about science.

He's a hero known as Captan Marvel, who shouts 'Shazam' when he uses his powers

EDIT: Damn you ninja!

Of course it's not. He's called Captain Spectacle/Alakazam.

The original comicbook series is called Zhazam because of copyright issues with DC between DC and Marvel, the character himself has never been called it.

And now you know!

What changes are you reproductive cells, which are constantly regenerated and easy to corrupt by radiation.

Well, if those can be changed then in theory the rest of you could as well (needs more radiation, though) it would just take those seven years for the changes to evolve. Right?

Which means Spiderman was changed several years before the spider bit him! That explains everything!

I must tell the people! *Runs outside, yelling incoherently*

An alternate theory is that he's mutating into a spider and has yet to get to the part where he shrinks Pretty sure there's an episode or comic where he grows four extra arms

Two extra arms, and mutates into a giant spider creature as well.

An alternate version of Spidey that was not cured and actually changed his costume to fit the extra arms appeared in the episode about Madame Web's origin.

I love that show, it was the second best thing on Danish television when I was a kid (OK, a younger kid )

Nope, most of your body does get renewed. That's why we all die eventually. So even if you changed the genetic code in every single one of them, nothing would really change.

Fixed.

Fixed.

What if it started when he was in the fetus, and part of the mutation is this his body structure is prone to warping?

Errr, here's the thing, Master Ranger. I support your, and everybody else's, right to make whatever comics they want for this plot.

But one thing that's not recommended, for ANYBODY, is revealing where the rings (of any colour) came from. It's not that you can't do it, per se, it's just heavily frowned upon by me.

So I don't want your character saying "oh! NOT again!" because he knows what the black ring business is about. Have your character say that line for some entirely unrelated reason, instead. I'll leave the justification to your judgement, but I just wanted to give you a heads up about my little guideline I preferred everybody follow.

Also, a related topic, your comic making has improved, but here's another piece of friendly advice: comics are better when they are...longer than one panel. And show an event that contributes to the story in some way. Just making one panel saying "oh! NOT again!" with your character alone probably isn't going to be acknowledged by any other comic makers.

Hey guys, what's happenin'?

We've seen Ketham's thought process when he's serious. Figured i'd show what happens when he isn't paying attention.

I'm as confused as anybody for the most recent couple of comics, but what's supposed to be going on is an epic battle against the Team of Super Hero expys.

Oh, Ok...

Now I know what happend to Arachnid Dude...

Be assured I will be contributing to keep the focus on that battle.

Unless Buberine is take out, then I will contribute to the focus changing to a Baseball Zero-G Ball match

Usually a mutation doesn't become obvious before fetal stage. If a change actually happened to the stem cell dna after conception that would be called an octopus baby, I guess.

Woah, thanks Brighty, that ventilated some of my urge to so something hideously mean again.

Octupus baby? O_o

I say we make that the new name for fictional mutants, it is too hilarious to pass up

[Darklord Bright]

So I was reading through "We all live in a Yellow Citadel" again. Lots of fun to be had by all.

I stumbled across my old Bright comics. There was such an innocence about them that I miss in ABR as it stands, from before I got dragged up in all this argument nonsense.

So I set about trying to figure out what it was I loved about them so much, and ended up making a... spiritual successor, if you will, to the original Darklord Bright.

But I find myself unsure of how to proceed.

Spoiler

And what would I do with him anyways?

Yeah. Things were better back before FFF ended. A lot less serious.

*nostalgia*

My recommendation for the character? The spiritual successor to the original, fun, cute Darklord Bright? Either save him for when FFFR gets another burst of life, or incorperate him into ABR Corps somehow (he doesn't even really have to be a Lantern, if you don't want, though it's preferred).

I don't want to toot my own plot or anything, but I'm nostalgic about the good ol days of ABR as well and a big part of ABR Corps is that I'm trying to recapture that spontaneity and fun.

Well, I may as well. Probably not making him a lantern, but I'm working on the second intro comic to bring him into the fight anyhow.

Cool.

Also, I'm working on an EW comic. It's taking a little longer than I thought it would because I'm making it slight more detailed than usual comics (I'm not changing the art style or anything. Just paying slightly more attention to detail when it comes to the background).

[V'icternus]

Explosions in space are clearly caused by Cthulhu.

As for the sound, a wizard did it.

An invisible space wizard.

Called Cthulhu.

[Silverraptor]

Just came in here just to say,

"Darklord Bright, you ROCK!!"

I loved what you did in the ABRCorps. Not only is it really great that detailed, but the villian and his minons are already well characterized, on only the second comic! Your comic actually wants me to try joining ABRCorps as well and make a character under your character's command. Would it work out?

[Keveak]

Brightie. You are awesome.

Wish I could draw something that was just a tenth as good as that, unfortunately that's very difficult unless I actually spend money on a good art program.

I might actually make a comic one of the days, but homework will likely take up half my free time (The other half being taken up by watching cartoons older than me )

[Darklord Bright]

Less talk about the details, more conversion of those details into your styles for MASSIVE COMICRY.

YEEEEAAHHHH

Edit: You know what's fun? Adding details to other people's characters when I convert them into my style. Cause I have to, you know? To keep my characters from looking weirdly detailed compared to others? This also means I have to sometimes interpret things purposely in a different way just to add detail to their templates...

Only have one template made so far, I'm making them in the order they're introduced...

Um...not to be accusatorisational, but didn't you tell me I pretty much had to play a Lantern to enter your plot?
