MAJOR PICTO SPOTLIGHT! STRANGE ADVENTURES #205
Todays spotlight is a book We talked about on the show tonight and I decided to dive a little deeper into why Deadman would be a perfect Chactarer in the James Gunn DC Universe!
1. Bringing in the Supernatural
Deadman’s supernatural origins open the door to a whole new world of magic, gods, and the afterlife. Gunn could team him up with characters like Constantine or Zatanna, exploring darker, mystical storylines. Think of Deadman as part of a supernatural team fighting ghostly or magical threats.
2. A Tragic Antihero
Deadman’s story is tragic—he’s a man stuck between life and death, seeking justice for his own murder. Gunn loves complex characters with flaws, so he could use Deadman’s emotional journey to bring depth to the character. Deadman’s personal quest could drive him to make tough choices, making him both a hero and a tortured soul.
3. Tapping Into DC’s Cosmic Side
Deadman’s connection to gods and the afterlife could open up a whole universe of divine beings, like the New Gods or The Endless. Gunn could use Deadman to explore these mystical realms and bring in new, cosmic storylines.
4. A Multiverse Link
Deadman could also be used to tie together different worlds in the DC Multiverse. Since he can exist outside the normal flow of time and space, he might become a key figure in bigger multiverse events, like battles between alternate realities.
