#'Captain Face is from a universe where aliens aren't real so they had to retcon a lot of his backstory'

when its DC comics so u have to read through 10 issues of a story full of call backs to other comics it assumed you know the context of and side characters with heavy lore that's not explained but you charge on through because there are 5 panels somewhere down the line of the only two characters you care about having a brief interaction :')

#DC Comics #this is why i dont like these types of comics #'oh yeah you know Doctor Flippy right?' #'He's from Earth 20X' #'Not the original 2003 run no this is from the 2010 run' #'specifically the side stories where he features with the character Sweater Gal' #'Oh you don't know Sweater Gal?' #'For that you'll have to back to the 80s she didn't have her own comic but she was extremely important in the death crystal arc' #'You don't know about the death crystal arc?' #'Funny enough it harkens forwards to the 1990 cereal box stories you had to mail in to get all five issues' #'Of course you have to keep in mind that this Doctor Flippy is the clone of his dead brother Captain Face' #'Captain Face is from a universe where aliens aren't real so they had to retcon a lot of his backstory' #'and you have to keep in mind as to whether he's being written by Steve Buggy or Tim Fudge they have very different styles' #'Above all else you really need to know about Crisis on Ultimate Earths and if you're going to do that?' #'You really need to know about the SuperTeam that had Agent 34 who honestly ties the end of it all together' #If it weren't for Agent 34 then Sweater Gal couldn't have been brought back to life again #'Keep in mind that the Time Gods rearranged things back in 2000 so that also adjusts the 17 members of the SuperTeam' #me: i just wanna see these two characters KISS let me leave :'''') #((not loving this era lmao))
