hmmm am i sensing a Kal, I AM your father!

[thanekos]

I love how he's using his own life as a teachable moment.

[proteus_lives]

Motto.

Hmmm. Can't tell if Kaldur's blissfully unaware Black Manta's his dad, lieing in a cool and calm manner or if he's really not Black Manta's son in this continuity to make Artemis having a villainous parent more unique for her. Hrmmm.

Cal Durham already exists in the comics.

[pyrotwilight]

Oooh neat. Never heard about him. Granted my questions still remain. But that is cool to find out.

[lieut_kettch]

Kinda creepy back there, the look on Kaldur's face when he talks about his mother's golden skin and hair and her "large and gorgeous" gills.

Gills. Is that what they call them now?

[q99]

I have no problem with finding gills large and gorgeous.

Finding one's mother's gill's large and gorgeous on the other hand... ;)

[icon_uk]

Probably the Atlantean equivalent of saying she had nice eyes.

[bariman]

Makes sense, given that a lot of Atlanteans have a thing about eye color. I think it was Garth that was abandoned to die by his hometown because he had purple eyes.

Those are captain Atom grown up kids?

Conner Squee!

[arbre_rieur]

"Those are captain Atom grown up kids?"

Yep. Raised by the notorious General Eiling, who married Capt. Atom's wife.

[silverzeo]

NONE of them notice the name similarity there? Captain Atom, Captain Adams? Danny Phantom, Danny Fenton?

And let me just ask, though I know the anwser already, Tana Moon, a 90s Superboy's girlfriend, isn't given a cameo/name-drop in this issue, even though she is a native of the islands....

[q99]

-NONE of them notice the name similarity there? Captain Atom, Captain Adams? -

Ah, timeline doesn't match up (of course for very good reason), and Adams is relatively common a name.

I bet they notice eventually though :)

[icon_uk]

Why would they think to associate a JLA level hero with a dead guy from 20+ years ago?

[celestialchild]

I wish they were able to animate all of these tooo. Ah well, it pleases me that YJ is willing to delve so much into their personal lives.

ngl, though, I am still in a rage over the fact that they keep coloring Artemis with blue eyes. >: (

[tauruschick12]

The description of his mum's gills makes me hope that his mum actually looks like a fish-woman, not a human-looking atlantean. Because that would be freaking awesome. There needs to be more non-human ladies who actually look non-human.

[bariman]

That just makes one wonder about the circumstances of Kaldur's conception. Fortunately, I buy brain bleach in large economy-sized bottles.

[eyz]

They got no clue he's that assignment guy? with that panel, him and his photo back them next to each other? Really???

[kenwyn89]

Well, only one is trained by the world's greatest detective. The rest are newbies. It's hard enough to figure out the murderer in a game of wink murder, and believe me I've tried ;)

[pyrotwilight]

Well...it's not like he's the only blonde league member with a crew cut either way. XD

Which could make for an amusing scene.

Wally: Oh. My. God. I know him!
Artemis: What? How? Who is he?
Wally: My Uncle!

[eyz]

Well, only they both are portrayed 100% identical in the art here and would look like to have the exact same facial figure, same eyes, same nose, etc..

[rainspirit]

Captain Atom is as still as much of a self-serving jerk as he ever was, I see.

[tsunamiwombat]

I think he's just using a case he already knows the answer for as a teachable moment.

[cloud_wolf]

I kinda love the fact that Weisman is so fond of Captain Atom that he'll try and find ways to use him in his DCU stories.
