> [@Sealemon2.0](#): > > The JLA decide to use their godlike powers to end hunger, end poverty (using Bruce Wayne’s massive financial resources, as well as Superman selling his Kriptonian artifacts to the government). They give up their costumes becuase it’s “A waste to be fighting crime in spandex”. They then procede to “fix” governments they don’t agree with, spreading democracy across the globe Dubya style. Every issue of every title following shows various brown skinned people thankful that they had democracy gifted to them…whether they asked for it or not. _The Authority_ covered something similar - they “removed” a few unpleasant dictators and forced all countries to cease hostilities (or face being squished, either collectively or just the leaders), set a former evil genius foe to fix a messed-up southeast Asia, and eventually took control of America. It didn’t go well. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Heck, I have no idea what a female fen/Dave Cockrum fen even is. “fen” is a tongue-in-cheek plural of “fan.” Parallel of “man”/“men”. Dave Cockrum was an artist on **Legion of Super-Heroes** in the 1970’s, & did two well-received (“classic” even) runs on **The X-Men.** He also tended to draw women with more realistic breasts than the norm.

> [@Lumpy](#): > > Hey, what’s the point of a stripperific costume on a realistically drawn female? 😃 Oh, I really disagree. Skinny girls could get away with that stuff in real life & look like money in it. And I admit Estrada’s version of Imra was really hot (all his women, even the badly drawn ones, were archetypally hot), but I think it also works with the less voluptuous frame.
