Well that certainly felt like a personal attack, CK. It's one thing for a character to be a copy of a superhero, or any other character, but the difference is that these characters are inspired by the original ones. We're not doing copies. They don't have the same backstories. They don't have the same exact mentalities and beliefs. They don't bring preexisting relations. We use our creativity to create new backstories and such, with just touches of that whom we were inspired by - the touches mainly being in the personality, and not even.

The last I checked, you didn't have a major problem with me giving Atlanta super speed. Yes, you told me you weren't exactly fond of the idea, but if you truly had a big issue with it, you would have told me not to do it. We're not transplanting stories that have already been told. The last I checked, no other character had the same backstory as Atlanta (it's an example, by the way). That was from my own creativity. She was kidnapped and tested upon.

In fact, look at. Most of them are preexisting characters, with completely different backstories from their "inspirations" - we just gave them a title. The title being the name of an already existing character we felt they most related to. We put a select group of characters together - characters that felt the same way about certain things.
