Welcome! This is the official home-base for the Access Codes: Different Defaults zine. The goal for this zine is to explore and spread love for canonically disabled, chronically ill, and disablingly mentally ill characters!
Ideally we want this zine to be as accessible as possible, with a goal of releasing the zine in July of 2027. July is the chosen release month since July is Disability Pride Month!
If it goes well, we would ideally love to make this an annual or semi-annual publication.
We are currently compiling a full list of characters we would love to see featured. We are focusing on canonically disabled characters, or characters with substantial canon evidence as to being disabled across many comic eras on a long term or permanent basis.
Here is some characters we will for sure be looking for!
This is far from an exhaustive list of every disabled DC character ever, but it is a start to get people thinking! We will also be refrencing this post by @fancyfade, and the comments and reblog notes on it, in part with our own research and knowledge and community suggestions to compile a full list. We will also considering the results of the interest check on if we want just heroes/anti heroes, or also villains! (And a shorter interest check too if the big one is a bit daunting!)
We also have all active forms related to the zine here!
And here is our carrd!
More info on plans and goals and timeline under this cut!

Finding a certain Someone...
One full week of drawings posted, but I'm still not done yet. Cause there's one more after this, something I've been wanting to post for over a year, but first lets go into this post.
There's a certain archetype that I've been wanting to put in the TrWh Outlaw team, and that's the 'Superman' type hero. Someone clearly strong, with powers that can be similar, and give off that certain 'super' vibe. In canon it was Bizzaro, a failed superman clone. He exists in my au, but being an adult was obviously not what I wanted. Perhaps in the future he can join the team tho. There are also a couple of current members that could sorta fit the mold but weren't quite what I was looking for. Like Grant Emerson and Gillian Wahrman for example, Gillian ended up filling a different archetype tho.
Grant esp kinda came close, esp when you factor his older self seen in Sins of Youth. His older self seemed more secure and when his emotions stabilized he could even fly, he really gave off that superman attitude. He never really got there as he actually matured in the comics, if anything his life got shitter so he's still a ways off from this mature ideal. At any rate he didn't quite fit the bill for me, sorry Grant.
Another idea was Lindsey Wah aka Aura, you can find her in Superboy and the Ravers. She had magnetic powers so she could be pretty strong, but I'm not sure if she was strong enough for what I wanted.
She's kinda a party girl but I thought that would make her fun in a way, wanting to both party and help people. But the more I thought about it, the more I thought she didn't quite have that 'spark' with the others that I wanted. In fact, I was kinda thinking she should join the Young Justice team when it forms in my au, she's already friends with Kon through the ravers.
Three random characters here, but I'm gonna focus on Sierra ? aka Matrix II. The other two I can talk about another time. Look at Sierra bothering Linda Danvers, speaking of, her story is super convoluted. Kinda had trouble following it tbh.
Sierra was part of Lex Luthor's pet team, Infinity Inc. II (crazy how you can just buy names rights like that), she proved to be a total coward, but I kinda find coward characters fun in their own way (think of like Usopp form One Piece). There could be a character arc for her, where she learns to become more braver and heroic as she grows. But in the end, I didn't go for her. She didn't have enough fire power for me, I still do like her. Maybe she could ally up with team at another point?
Captain Marvel is a superman expy himself, so having his arch nemesis's sidekick could be something that could work. This hero is Amon Tomaz aka Osiris. I thought the way Amon tried desperately to become a hero but everything was just stacked against him endeared him to me, that struggle to be what he wants to be is something that I think fits him with the Outlaws. Amon came close but I still wanted someone closer to the Superman mythos. He might join the team at a later time or ally up with them.
David's story from World's Finest is so sad, it a genuine tragedy what happens to him, though he does sorta get a happy ending. It's pretty obvious that his story and teenage look is modeled after Jason (almost blatantly so), so it should be expected that he could be what I'm looking for?
I did think about it for a hot second, but if you read World's Finest then you see he starts off in Dick's age group, making him too old for me. I suppose it doesn't matter since World's Finest is elseworld (I think?), but that's what sticks in my head. He came really close too, aw well.
Also I tried to copy Mora's style as best I could, esp tried to copy that :] type of smile he sometimes does. It's a really cute quirk of his work I noticed lol.
This one is more of a joke, having Superboy prime as a candidate but I was never gonna go for that. I don't think he would enjoy being part of my goofy au honestly.
I started getting a little desperate for what I wanted, it felt like my standards were just too high and specific. I even start to go into making oc's to fit what I wanted, like these:
This was a oc created to be a sorta legacy/sidekick for Maxima, who was a kinda a anti-hero (with the hots for Superman). I made her personality more reserved and calm to contrast with Maxima. But still not what I needed, I'd still like for her to exist in my au, maybe as an ally of sorts.
Another oc, Starsha was a character I created years ago, she was a part of fanfic 'idea' where Jason meets an alien girl to be friends with. Separate from the Training Wheels au, and I think she might've been created before all that too. The story for her goes that she was a robot from space that crash landed on earth and Jason has the difficult task of hiding her from her creator and from Bruce. It eventually goes bad and Starsha dies trying to protect Jason (in a explosion, calling forward to Jason's eventual death). She eventually comes back when Jason's older, and is kinda meant to replace Starfire in a new52 style outlaw team.
I thought maybe I could transplant her to my au, Starsha had just about everything I wanted it seemed. But having an oc for my 'superman' just didn't fell right and I though I could just keep looking in the comics. Then!!
Then I did! I found someone perfect!!
And that someone I'm gonna talk about tomorrow!

FAQ
You know, for all the talk about the importance and coolness of adoption and found families, y’all sure love to sleep on the Shazam Family and relatives they got. I mean for real.
You got the Wizard Shazam/Mamaragan (let’s get some diversity in this bitch)
Then you have his found siblings:
His edgy bio demon children:
Another edgy kid he picked up (he’s actually called the “Son of Mamaragan”):
That edgy kid’s (second) family:
Edgy kid’s descendant:
Another kid (DC writers have stated they have a father son relationship so bite me);
That same kid’s legal, foster parents (I’m tired of y’all forgetting Victor/Rosa and their existence for Superman, Batman, Constantine, etc. Also Billy can have more than 2 parental figures)
And the Vanquez’s foster family
You got a very unique approach and connections with many characters to mess around, headcanon, play with, etc.
But like 98% of the time, people just wanna make Billy significant to Superman or Batman (because putting him with more black hair, blue eye kids that get treated interchangeably is smart) and Mary to the “Wonder Family” like they don’t got a family of their own.
Shazam Legends: Osiris
Amon Tomaz first appeared in 2006 as the younger brother, sometimes son, of Adrianna Tomaz AKA Isis. He was sold into slavery and brutalized by his captors, leading to Black Adam transferring his powers to him and making him somewhat the anti-Captain Marvel Jr., acting as Black Adam's young sidekick and fighting by his side.
Amon would have a natural place in any movie involving the relationship between his sister/mother and Black Adam, just as he did in the Black Adam movie, and should gain their powers from him over the course of said movie. He would naturally start out as a teen, so no casting there.
Review without spoilers. Black Adam was incredibly good!! (honestly, so many people expect superhero movies to be this flawless masterpiece that they get mad and throw awful reviews when it isn't).
The movie was fun, with a good plot and great characters. Having so many characters is sometimes hard to balance but I think that they did great letting each character having their moment to shine.
I'm not a huge Dwayne Johnson fan, but I'm happy for him. He expent more than a decade working for this movie to see the light of day, and as an artist, it must be really rewarding to be able to finally see it on the big screen and having such a great response.
Also, as I predicted, I totally loved the Justice Society. Carter was on point, (Aldis Hodge my beloved), Pierce was the perfect Kent Nelson. Quintessa and Noah were very good as this starter superheroes.
The characters in Kandaq were also really compelling (I want Amon and Freedy from Shazam to be BFFs 😂). And I feel in love with the phrase "Not your country. Not your decision."
In overall, it is a great superhero movie and worth the time.
PD: The movie theater completely lost it in the end credit scene. It was so good!!
