made some quick art of NTT Raven, her outfits, and her different relationships bc Im stressed

fancyfade

im making a big list of DC’s disabled characters to chronicle how the comics treat them

(already made a list that got some reblogs here (link) a gazillion years ago)

On my list i am NOT including characters who the reader believes/headcanons as disabled, only characters who are in text disabled

send me disabled characters, heroes and villains

(on the heroes side, an astrik * means that they have been written as villains at one point, even if they returned to heroic roles or it was retconned as OOC, because this is to analyze how the characters were treated by the writers. Some characters on this list may have been written as that way but missing the astrik because I did not read that arc with them yet)

so far ive got

Heroes

Barbara Gordon (Oracle) - paralyzed, uses a wheelchair - magicured

Wendy Harris (Proxy) - paralyzed, uses a wheelchair

Victor Stone (Cyborg) - missing large sections of his body, replaced with cybernetics

Joseph Wilson (Jericho) - nonverbal

Thom Kallor (Starboy/man) - schizophrenia

Rose Wilson (Ravager) - missing an eye *

Charles McNider (Dr Mid-Nite) - blind

cliff steel (robot man) - entire body is destroyed except for his brain, interacts through a robot suit

Todd Rice (Obsidian) - schizophrenia *

Niles Caulder (Chief) - paralyzed, uses a wheelchair

Cassandra Cain (Batgirl) - nonverbal for some time, then is semi verbal *

Freddy Freeman (Captain Marvel Jr) - mobility impaired in non superpowered form

Amon Tomaz (Osiris) - mobility impaired in non superpowered form

Rhosyn Forrest (Thorn) - DID - wiki lists her in the heroes categories, I only saw her in birds of prey where she was treated initially as a villain then as like… not the person they had to stop? more sympathetically at least

Roy Harper (Arsenal/Red Arrow) - briefly lost an arm (universe got reset), recovering addict

Garth (Aqualad/Tempest) - partially color blind

Elizabeth Chapel (Dr Mid-Nite) - blind

Bart Allen (Impulse) - unspecified neurodivergent coding - not including headcanons but this seems intentional on part of the writers and coding can count

question mark on alignment

Mace Gardner (militia) - paralyzed, uses cybernetic bodysuit/parts?

Harley Quinn - unspecified mental illness * a hero in more recent years don’t know how hard DC leads into that or if she’s more anti-hero/morally gray

Villains - this is almost CERTAINLY not going to wind up being a complete list, because so many villains are disabled

slade wilson - (if we’re counting rose’s missing an eye here thing we’re counting his too)

Harvey Dent (two face) - DID

Peyton Riley (ventriloquist) - also DID

Arnold Wesker (ventriloquist) -referred to as schizophrenia sometimes in comics sometimes multipersonality disorder (DID)

Rose Canton (Thorn) - schizophrenia

brain (entire body is destroyed except for his brain, interacts through a moveable robot thingie)

Sean Sonus (Discord) - Deaf

Walter Shreeve (Shriek) - Deaf - Batman Beyond Universe

David (black manta) - was autistic in one continuity

Joker - changes between whether the writers want to portray him as ‘evil cuz crazy’ or just like a 4chan person

komandr (blackfire) - interestingly enough not a human disability (she can’t metabolise solar radiation and fly) but she is still portrayed as disabled and ‘crippled’ according to tamaranean society which makes her bitter and evil

Victor Fries (Mr Freeze) - requires usage of assistive tech (his cryo suit) to live

Barbara Minerva (Cheetah) - uses a cane in her non-cheetah form

characters who were disabled or received a disabling injury at one point but have had most of their definitive appearances as able bodied/NT after being magicured or before being disabled

Dick Grayson (Ric) Dick while Ric experiences blackouts and seizures among other symptoms

Bruce Wayne - Paralyzed in the thoracic region, alternated between using a wheelchair and walking with assistive devices like canes and crutches

Damian Wayne - paralyzed, spine replaced almost immediately afterwards - TBH unsure how much this “counts” as magicuring as the audience is never expected to believe Damian will stay paralyzed

Jason Todd - nonverbal and with some type of cognitive disability due to brain damage after being raised from the dead before being lazarus pitted

CHESHIRE RECS

overview ↷

cheshire, a.k.a jade nguyen, is a vietnamese* assassin and mercenary. she is a master toxicologist, her trademark being poison fingernails. jade is also a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, sword fighter, triple-jointed acrobat, and so proficient in various languages that she can sound like a native speaker or a tourist*. she is considered to be one of the best assassins in the world, second only to lady shiva. not only is she a skilled assassin, jade also shares a beautiful daughter with roy harper named lian.

for the majority of her existence in comics, jade was biracial (wasian) and born to a french father and vietnamese mother. after the festival of heroes anthology released in may, it is possible that her father’s race and ethnicity was retconned.

languages she speaks: english, french, mandarin, cantonese, vietnamese, russian, and many more.

i would cover her backstory but i believe her experiences could be triggering, so i’ll likely save that for a different post or not include it at all.

recommend readings ↷

genuinely some of jade’s best appearances and a great insight into her character. these stories demonstrate a lot of jade’s inner conflict regarding roy and lian.

new teen titans (1984) #20-21

action comics weekly (1938) #613-618

the titans (1999) #22, #27, and #30

other recs ↷

these are great to comics read to see jade work as a mercenary. they give you insight to “cheshire’s” personality and her traits as an assassin. plus, there are interactions with other characters outside of the titans.

new teen titans annual #2 [1st appearance]

tales of the teen titans (1985) #51-52

booster gold (1986) #16-17

birds of prey (1999) #4-6

birds of prey (1999) #63-65, #67

best media ↷

young justice cartoon.

the episodes she appears in:

season 1: episodes 6, 10, 12, 23, and 25

season 2: episodes 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16

season 3: episodes 8 and 10

might want to avoid ↷

her appearances in deathstroke the terminator, villains united (2005) #1-6 and secret six are NOT recommended as a starting point for jade. her appearances here are heavily rooted in the dragon lady trope. generally speaking, there’s nothing here that does anything good for her character. you’re welcome to read it of course, but i wouldn’t recommend either of those runs if you’re looking to understand her character better.

her most recent appearance is in ‘masks’ by ram v and audrey mok in the festival of heroes anthology. she’s only around for a couple of panels, but it does [spoilers] bring lian back into continuity. jade is expected to appear next in the harley quinn 2021 annual in august, and there are rumors of possible appearances in infinite frontier and the current catwoman run. stay tuned!

i hope this was helpful and any feedback is appreciated! <3

📂| CAROL FERRIS/STAR SAPPHIRE READING GUIDE

Who's Carol Ferris/Star Sapphire?

Carol Ferris is the boss and occasional love interest of Hal Jordan. Her family owns the Ferris Aircraft company, where she acts as an executive, and sometimes as a pilot. She is also Star Sapphire, a once villainous character occupying another part of her personality entirely. In the Star Sapphire Corps, where she fights for love across the universe, she has taken on a more heroic role.

#carol ferris #star sapphire #read list

Another potentially hot Alexis Kaye take?

She should be a Red Robin rogue. She should be the bane of Tim Drake’s existence and also the love of his life. They are not enemies to lovers they are enemies and lovers.

Guys what if punchline was a character introduced in the 90s? What if she was a response to people being frightened about the youth being influenced by school shootings and other tragedies? What if she was a response to the Y2K scare? What if she was a response to fear of the internet and shock sites and the anonymity of the internet?

I think wonderful things could be done with her as a character if you just…changed things around. She can still be herself but maybe not so overpowered and insanely armored.

And yeah she could still have her start with the joker but I think her being more of a fan girl and less of an accomplice is better and more believable.

Anyways that’s just my lame ass take :P
