the star in her hands is like a batarang of sorts you thow it i forgot what the actual name is but yes her star-angs are her main weapon and they’re all embedded with the entirety of her strength so they hit pretty hard
And instead of a lasso now she wears a silver cloth around her hips that solidifies at her will so i think one thing absolute Donna would have fun doing is wrapping it around her opponents head then solidifying it to cut off air flow
also for her origin, originally diana saves her from a fire but since this is the absolute universe that obviously doesnt happen so she’s swallowed whole by the fire however hera saw potential in her to become her champion so she dissolves the essence of a star within Donna’s blood stream which helped her survive and get powers then it goes on from there
A long while ago I had started making a list of all the pop culture references that Kon makes in the Superboy comics after noticing his dialogue is full of them, so finally after starting that first list a year or so ago, I have finished looking through Superboy (1994) and compiled that list.
I set out to do this because I thought it would be fun to see what sort of implanted knowledge Kon has in the '94 comics. I've noticed that he loves talking about Star Trek (his favorite character is clearly Captain Kirk) and Star Wars, he has a varied taste in music, and he mentions Jennifer Lopez three or four times.
Specifically this is a list of references he makes in Superboy (1994) and then Adventures of Superman #506. I do plan on adding the references he makes in other comics (Adventures of Superman, Young Justice and more) in the future, but I figured this was a good stopping point just as I started looking into Adventures of Superman.
little slobo wip bc i just found out hes the reason yj98 was cancelled??? didio hated his ass so much that he used him to cancel the whole run??? that’s crazy. imagine having so much swag a grown man cancels your existence. slobo you will never die (disintegration notwithstanding)
Debut/Early YJ- Cassie in her wig era, not much to say other then I got her vest slightly wrong -_- (I keep thinking it looks like Marty McFly's from Back to the Future)
Mid/Late YJ- Also not much notes, if anything this was peak Cassie era
Early Teen Titans- Ok now I can start talking. This outfit was the downfall for Cassie I swear. She has NEVER recovered. The crop top is cut in such a strange way. The pants is Fine, but the lack of stars on it makes it super boring compared to her last red pants design. Last her hair is just Out, usually it would be put in some type of ponytail.
So I mostly threw out most of the design, but I did keep the headband and while her hair is still out, I put some of it in a side pony. I pulled inspo from when she was WW in Sins of Youth because she was wearing Donna Troy's WG outfit, and Im surprised the original design didn't seem to pull some Donna inspo because she quite literally Died before TT03 stared and Cassie was devastated about it. So it wouldn't be shocking if she wanted to represent her in some way.
OYL- Hey are least she has star pants again. The heels are not it though. The tank is fine on its own, but so many times it clearly an excuse to draw attention to her chest (same can be applied with her previous outfit). Hair is out again sigh.
This is probably the closest to her original outfit compared to the other redesigns. All I really did is just made her less sexualized. The biggest thing I can say is I cut her hair to be more shorter because she is going through a pretty big depression during this era (big red arrow at the events of infinite crisis). So short hair = less maintenance = one less stressful thing to worry about.
Late Teen Titans- Goodness this outfit is also really bad and ugly, but I can't really pin point why. Is it the logo? The boring jeans? The same basic blonde comic book women hair? Idk \(-_-)/. At least overall it is hypothetically less sexualized. Hypothetically because she is still sexualized in other ways (ie posing or other casual outfits).
So yeah this was another "throw it all out" design. I tried to imply that her mental health is getting better because her system of support is growing (ie the new titans and the restriction of Kon and Bart), so she isn't exactly isolating herself as she was during the start of OYL. For whatever reason they changed it back to her first OYL design around 2010(?), but Im not doing that, she keeps this outfit until her time as WG is done (that sounds morbid but im not sure how else to word it)
Post comic canon(!)- hey look we are leaving the canon of post-crisis, sorta. In Titans Tomorrow Cassie is shown to become Evil Wonder Woman, but clearly we are not following the Titans Tomorrow timeline (I think there are other issues out there showing her as Wonder Woman *not counting sins of youth because technically it wasn't a "future" thing*, but 1. Im not too sure. And 2. If there are I haven't read them yet). But either way I think she would become a Wonder Woman for a short time, maybe for a year or two.
Personally this is my least favorite design, and probably will get minor tweaks in the future.
Bonus. The silver WW helmet bother me in that panel so I tweaked it a little. Take your pick
After Wonder Woman (Phoenix)- Personally I do think Cassie should have her own mantle (honestly I feel this way with all of YJ). I posted about my Phoenix design before and I still stand that Cassie needs a beautiful bird helmet. She still has short hair underneath the helmet. While not being WW she still wears the logo because Diana basically insisted that she continues to wear it because she still is carrying the message of being WW just without the name.
(I forgot to draw her armpit hair #fuckmychudlife).
Conclusion- im tired. Everyone love Cassie Sandsmark more.
consider: cassie and tim constantly correcting people in the field because they keep calling him wonder boy and they have to do a long suffering sigh and be like “no hes the boy wonder, IM wonder GIRL”
A canon interracial couple exists "I just don't see their chemistry" proceeds to fanon ship [insert white character] instead, claiming they have more of a connection.
"It's not their skin color, I just don't like them for some reason, btw, here are my top 5 [insert white actors] I think are better suited"
"Not everything is about race". They say, as they prop up every white character over any character of color.
"Please stop bring race drama into the fandom". Which translates to, I'm comfortable in my racism and don't appreciate any criticism, thanks!
White person, "Yeah, I wrote character of color as an animal, doesn't make me racist".
"I love character of color, here's a fic where they act like as [insert white characters] servant/therapist".
Character of color is such a bad friend for having opinions of their own/taking care of themselves instead of putting their friend [insert white character] first.
A character of color is morally ambiguous or a villain, gets redemption arc. "They're awful and haven't been condemned enough of their crimes". Stans [insert white characters] who did the exact same crimes or was a villain who's redemption arc is praised.
"Can't believe that character of color had the nerve not to die as a selfless sacrifice for [insert white character]".
"POC actress/actor is too ethnic and they'd ruin the character".
"I haven't seen racism in the fandom therefore it isn't there".
"Character of color is the main character of the show sure, but let's be honest, everyone came for [insert white character]
"Character of color is alright but I can only relate to [insert white character]".
Feel free to add more, that you've come across. Sadly, it all runs together after awhile of being in a lot of fandoms. Special shout out to all who helped me with these comments!
