Starman 26, cover date September 1990, introduced the David Knight version of Starman as well as Jules Black, WLEX reporter Bob, Steve, Billy, and Rudy. They were created by Roger Stern and Dave Hoover. ("Next Year's Model" Starman 26, DC Comic Event)

i kind of want to write something about jayne/sadie and the shade becoming friends after he keeps popping in to visit jack and she forcibly sits him down to get the story straight about will in his journals

this would have an audience of only me and my husband, who is also my beta, but still

#i barely even write gen!#i prefer jack/sadie as temporary anyway!#but i want more about how will fits into the starman legacy when he really isn't involved in it but is just a good guy that stumbled upon i #written by someone who y'know likes will #the shade is way less harsh about will than james robinson is and that's intriguing #because he doesn't seem like the kind of hero he would really care about #also the part where he's like “also will fought this giant pink balloon thing and i am only mentioning it because it's hilarious”#starman #the other other starman #will payton defense squad #jayne payton #the shade #richard swift

Jayne Payton and her favorite Starman! Jack is there too.

A birthday present for @jinzlers, the only person to read Starman (1994) and come out with Will Payton as his favorite Starman

The more I think about it the more I hate Sadie getting pregnant and running off at the end of Starman.

One, adding a second baby to the mix adds nothing. A big chunk of Jack’s character development revolves around Teddy, the unplanned child he loves and wants to do good by. This baby...is an unplanned child he presumably wants to do good by and will grow to love. Sadie getting pregnant with ~their biological child~ instead of giving her the chance to be a mother to Teddy is weird. If they'd actually discussed having kids, or Jack specifically wanted to purposefully have a child with someone he loved, it could add something to the story.

Two, it’s an unnecessary plot device to make Jack leave Opal. There are so many reasons why Jack would want to leave even without “I left with your unborn child”: he has to make a clean break with being Starman now that his heart’s not in it, it hurts too much to be reminded of his dad, he wants to raise Teddy away from all the superhero bullshit. Or, if there needs to be an inciting incident…shouldn’t Sadie leaving be enough? Another part of his development was growing up, treating his partners better, and realizing he actually wanted to settle down. “I want to follow her instead of doing what’s convenient” is a perfectly good motivation! He went to space for her! Come on!

Three, Sadie specifically running off is bullshit. A whole theme in Starman v.1 was how badly Will and Jayne’s father abandoning them as children affected them. Jayne also had a really bad time when Will ran off for months to figure his life out, and that was when he had a good reason for it. You’re telling me this woman would find out she’s pregnant and immediately run off (to the same city her deadbeat father ran off to, no less) without even talking to Jack face to face? She'd accept the possibility that her child wouldn't know their father because she left him an ultimatum? And maybe her hypocrisy and fear would be an interesting character flaw, if Robinson had done more than skim Will’s series and had any interest in her as a character instead of plot device.
