Titans Teams Timeline Expanded

An expanded version that might be easier for people to read.
Edit: Now with SPACES and COLOURS! This may or may not aid reading, but they're fun, and I needed to relax.

Titans Teams Timeline

I wanted to know who was on the Titans during Tim's Teen Titans run. This is surprisingly difficult to figure out. Finally, I just made my own list.

Interesting Questions to Ask When You’re Genderswapping Characters

There’s nothing wrong with grabbing a male character, making him a woman, changing her costume enough to fit over her chest, adding an ‘–a’ to her name, and sitting back to watch her go. But I always find myself asking tricky questions when I try. And some of them are intriguing, so I decided to share. Really, who doesn’t want to look up all the costumes Quicksilver ever had, find out the year they debuted, and then think up versions that fit the time period and what a comic book artist would put on a Romani woman? (The answer is probably, “Very few people, gecko”, but the question of whether she would wear full skirts despite the wind resistance is an interesting one – Pietro always seemed much more traditional than Wanda.)

Aliases

This is a list of codenames and aliases used by the various legacy heroes of the DCU. Identities used by more than one hero are only listed with the first hero to use them, because I created the list while trying to find codenames that I could give kids if I switched their mentors around and Martian Manhunter suddenly had history of 3 or 4 sidekicks. Also, I haven’t included hardly any Justice Society era characters.

Amalgam AUs

Took a break from Age Switch Aus to do some DC/Marvel amalgams. Long ago gave up using Marvel's non-X-Men heroes because than I wouldn't be able to use the 3rd and 4th stringers that I love (I accept my obsessions). I think a few of these are clever.

The Second Robin (6 different approaches)

I love age reversal verses. They're so limited, though. Why does it always have to be Damian as the oldest and Dick as a baby Robin? There's so many other options. This is just me ruminating on how the various Bats would handle being the second Robin, dying, and coming back.

Aliens and their Naming Conventions(DC Comics)

This was a lot of fun, though I was surprised how little information the internet had for me. Not sure why I was surprised, but surely someone has done this before me.
