comic characters at work

[burntcopper]

Today, the new comics geek (though only surface and keeps asking me questions on backstory) got together with James and Robin and pondered who each person in ed production would be if they were a comic character. They automatically recruited me, since I was miss walking comic encyclopaedia.

It took some pondering, since they had to be mainstream. with me automaticaly going 'well, I know who I am, but you've probably never heard of her.' there were false starts. Also unfortunately, one of the ones when James gave a spectacularly dirty grin as he is wont to stuck. He complained. I eventually came up with a better one. He pouted, since he'd decided he liked being able to fight evil with the power of perversion.

Yes, ladies and gents, James is Bueno Excellente.

Tom (lesser geek) - Starman - Jack Knight.
Morven - started out as Holly (current Catwoman), went on to become Kitty Pryde and went 'I get to walk through walls? *Cool*.'
Robin - started as Jimmy Olsen, pouted a *lot*, then we thought some more and decided he was Kyle Rayner. Him : 'er, isn't Green Lantern kind of shoddy?' Us : 'Power ring. Ridiculously cool and gorgeous girlfriends. Currently has the power cosmic as Ion. Explain to us this 'shoddy'.'
Louise - never joined the conversation, but it was decided she was definitely Zatanna.
James - Eventually decided that he was really Tommy Monaghan (Hitman), but he's decided he likes being Bueno Excellente more. I've created a monster.
Me - we're currently blank on mainstream (yes, I know, I would normally be Jenny Sparks) and I threw things at Tom for suggesting Warbird since it was fricking obvious he was going through the blondes. This also segued into us explaining that Warbird was who Rogue got her powers from.

So. er. anyone who knows their mainstream comics got any idea who I am? Male or female, don't mind....

Did I know my comics, I'd be happy to help. As it is, passing familiarity with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Authority; beyond that, most of them have canon which terrifies me in its immensity (I have a compulsive need to absorb ALL the canon, which means me and comics should stay far away from each other). But goddamn, lately I've been kind of tempted, however much I know that would be a stunningly bad idea.

(Go on, then, who am I?)

Back when she had a personality (seek out torrents of Young Justice) you were quite clearly Wonder Girl, Cassandra Sandsmark. Now... hmm. trying to think. For some reason Green Arrow is seriously coming to mind, even with his issues.
