DC Rarepair Rumble (Round 1, Part 42)
James Jesse/Dan Cassidy
Ted Grant/Al Pratt
propaganda:
James Jesse/Dan Cassidy:
"I still think Cassidy's a jerk" - James Jesse approximately one issue before having the entire course of his life changed by him. They are the sillies ever, and so funny, but more importantly during a period where the Rogues were getting darker and darker, James had ONE adventure with Dan Cassidy and decided he liked himself better with him and reformed to be with him. Barry Allen didn't manage to make James do that in 24 years AND IT LASTED 20! James' dynamic with Dan influenced his character for the better part of two decades!
Everything DC says about them is so intensely gay, "James found a kindred spirit in the hero and their fights turned from menacing to playful" "Dan helped James find legit work after he reformed and introduced him to his civilian friend group", "James had a picture of Dan in his office that he looked at every time he considered unreforming". They defeated Neron TOGETHER in Underworld Unleashed! James even trained Eddie! Training another man's sidekick is the most two dads thing you can do! And all three of them are tied irreversibly to Neron now! Devilfam is real!
Also, after the Top resets James' personality back to before he met Dan (Geoff Johns did it don't worry about it), James suddenly has an internalized homophobia problem he never had before? I'm not sure what this means?
Anyway if you're a James is gay believer Dan Cassidy should be huge evidence for that. One of the three pillars if you will. Let's all read Blue Devil #21 to see them at their cutest!
Ted Grant/Al Pratt:
I do not have the "you have shapely legs" panel but they are the biggering old married couple of all time!
