I don't own any of the characters included herein, (choked back sob), with the exception of my OC, but if I did, I'd treat them nicer than DC do!


New Guy

It was an ordinary day in an all-too-ordinary world. To comic reader's discontent, not one costumed hero graced the world with their presence, nor urban legend curbed its criminal's excesses. What it did have, was President George W. Bush, a worrying individual whose actions in office reminded non-American observers of America's attitude during the Cold War.

In this world that we meet our protagonist, one 'Robin Archer' of 222b, Baker Street, London, aged 16. Living next door to the famed home of the famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes had worked it's magic on Robin. A fan of all forms of detective fiction, from Agatha Christie to DC's 'Detective Comics' and, from that springboard, most of the other comics DC produced. He even went so far as to keep regularly updated files on every hero he knew of on his prized laptop, which he had won in a short story competition. While not the top-of-the-line machine his parent's could afford, it was sturdy, had a reasonable memory supplemented by two memory sticks (one for school, one for play.) and he had earned this one. Unsure what else to do, enrolled for the sixth form of his local school, where, one day, something unexpected happened.
