A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR(ME)!: Hey guys, I'm uploading another chapter! A new Chapter for a new day!

Chapter 7

"Hey guys its Bra and I'm back for another episode of character comparisons! Last time I compared Maxwell Lord to Lex Luthor as well as Dr. Gero! Thanks for leaving your comments as it was really nice to hear that you also made that connection. With that out of the way, its time to once again update you on how my training is going, and I have to say is I'm going to simulation training at the DEO today! Based on how I do will determine whether or not I'm ready for the big stage. I hope that if I pass the smell test(so to speak) that eventually I will get a disciple as well. Dad absolutely insists that I get a disciple after I get the smell test. Even though I love Pan and think she will be a great teacher, I am the daughter of Vegeta so I should be a better teacher than her! Of course with Wynn's dad coming to town and that light coming ever so closer to Earth we've decided to postpone my grand entrance into the limelight for another month. I mean mom just found out that he has a warehouse with all sorts of creepy stuff among them are doll figures of Batman, Kara(as Supergirl), Gohan and Videl themselves-as Saiyanman and Saiyagirl(although mom worries that he has a doll of Videl) and even Trunks(as a Super-Saiyan) and Pan! There have been new rumors circulating about yet another prisoner breakout from Fort Rozz! If you ask me it sounds an awful lot like Frieza when he came to Earth to destroy it as the result of his defeat on Namek! This breakout we don't know all the details but we do know that she also was sentenced to Fort Rozz after turning against the people of Krypton! Whoever it is will defiantly go after Kara and if she hears about how Trunks is helping her(and the saiyans being alive) will go after us as well! Now that I've updated you guys about what's going on let me give out the number 800-shenron that's 800-743-6766 to talk! and the email is Bra_Briefs "

"Lets go to the phones for today's character comparison! Your on with Bra Briefs". "HELLLO THERE BRA BRIEFS I'M PurpleRodri and I loved Dragon Ball when I was a kid(even though I'm more of a PokeTuber)." "hey Rodri so what do you want to know?" "Well Pan has met James Olsten and I want to know your opinion of him and who do compare him to? That's my question Bra thanks!" "Thanks for the call Rodri and for the suggestion of James; I'll do my opinion of him and who I compare him to this broadcast! First of all I think James is a real cool guy; now my brother has shown me that in the comics James looks a little different than the one we know but that he doesn't mind the change! In fact if my brother wasn't half saiyan he would be pretty jealous of James's body! Lucy sure is one lucky gal; it was foolish that they broke up thanks to her father Sam but now that situation has been smoothed itself out quite nicely. He also seems to be a buffer between Cat and Kara as well as being the most level headed out of Kara's friend! If Wynn's father is going to be a problem for Kara then its up to James to explain the situation and to figure out a way for things to be right once again!"

"As to who I think James l resembles well its pretty obvious: Gohan; now I know you will say "BUT BRA JAMES DIDN'T LOSE FAMILY MEMBERS TO THE ANDROIDS! HOW ARE THEY ALIKE?!. Well my beloved listeners the reasons are more concrete than you think and I will explain. First of all both Gohan and James protect/mentor the main guys(my brother and Kara). I know "BUT BRA, JAMES DIDN'T TRAIN SUPERGIRL LIKE GOHAN TRAINED TRUNKS!" but if you think about it they both did protect and mentor them. James was charged by Superman himself to look after his cousin in National City the same way Bulma charged Gohan to protect Trunks from the androids. Furthermore, James also has an important position in Catco the same way Gohan has an important position with my mom inside of Capsule Corps. James also mentored Supergirl(Kara) after she blew up against Red Tornado teaching her to control her emotions by letting them out; Trunks learned the same thing from Gohan when it came to him learning about the Super-Saiyan Transformation. James does have an important role but he's only plays second fiddle to Kara the same way Gohan is; he's pretty strong but he knows that my brother's role is pretty important so he lays back from time to time. Now both of them also got targeted as a result of that; Maxwell Lord beat him up and the androids ripped off and the Androids killed him not because they weren't strong enough to stand up to them, but because they knew that it would serve their interest if the main characters(Kara and my brother) dealt with them properly which it did(in Trunks' case) or is going to do(Kara promised to put Max behind bars)"

"James also was extremely dependent on the Man of Steel saving him just as Gohan was dependent on his father Goku saving him. However just as James had to emerge from Superman's shadow by leaving Metropolis, Gohan had to emerge from Goku's shadow after he died due to that heart virus. Its obvious though that they still have strong ties to them; Superman gave James a watch to use in case he should ever find himself in trouble. If you remember during the Reactron incident, James used that watch to call Superman to save Kara's life and Superman came to his rescue! Gohan honors his father by wearing his Gi and-ever since Dad told Pan she's his granddaughter-have been telling her all about his life. At the same time, they had to act on their own accord and make their own legacy independent of their protectors. For James, it's being Kara's mentor in National City and risking himself many times(such as when he confronted Lord) in looking out for Kara's best interests. Gohan did that by fighting the androids and training my brother to take his place; now he did go on a suicide mission when he fought the androids alone in his last battle but his death helped my brother achieve the Super-Saiyan Transformation."

"Its also interesting because as you recall I compared James' Girlfriend Lucy to Gohan's Wife Videl; if you think about it the similarities with their boyfriends/husband(Gohan although Lucy was engaged). First of all James had a previous encounter with Lucy in that they worked together at the Daily Planet. Now with Gohan it was a little different(as the androids were a threat) but Gohan also 'encountered' Videl during one of his confrontations with them! That's not the only thing; the fact that their connections were alien scared both of their fathers and told them to end their relationships respectively. Although James only had a friendship with Superman which made Sam tell Lucy not to be engaged to him anymore, it sounds similar to Hercule when he found out Videl had fallen for Gohan(after he revealed he was Saiyanman to her). Now both fathers disliked aliens for different reasons but the similarities were the same in terms of the consequences."

"In terms of the consequences of their actions they were also shockingly similar. Now I know you will say "BUT BRA, LUCY DIDN'T DIE!" which is true but at the same time, both Gohan and James suffered as a result of their significant others dying/breaking up. They also managed to keep their relationships with their significant others hidden for many years. It wasn't until Livewire showed up that Kara even knew James had a fiancé and it wasn't until the 2nd Astra fight that my mom and Pan met her and Cat also found out that Lucy was James' girlfriend. Now for Pan, Gohan hid the fact of Videl being her mom for years, and even now only talks to her in terms of just another girl. In all actuality its my brother that has been telling Pan some of the facts about Videl such as that she was a fighter, and that she was Saiyangirl alongside of Gohan's Saiyanman. I worry because if Wynn's father did fight Pan's mom when she was alive, then it will be him that will tell Pan about Videl instead of Gohan in an attempt to make her evil like he will try to do with Wynn. Either way, it won't be easy for Gohan to explain why he kept that secret for so long the same way that it was tough for James to explain to Kara the situation with Lucy."

"However at the same time, Kara eventually learned to accept James' relationship with Lucy and I think Pan will accept Videl as her mom as well. Now that doesn't mean that it won't be easy because- like Kara saw all that PDA during the Red Tornado incident-Pan will initially have a hard time accepting Videl's role in Gohan's life and her own guilt in that she believed that she killed Videl the same way Kara believed that Lucy would take James away from her. Either way, I think Pan will accept Videl as her mom and love her and even though Lucy has a rough relationship with Supergirl, I think her relationship is solid enough with Kara to withstand her dislike for Kara's alter-ego. Anyway that is all that I have next time there will another character comparison Goodbye!"

End Chapter

Me: That's the end of this chapter, I hope that the explanation for Son Gohan and James Olsten was logical and well thought out! I made mention that Trunks has the Superman comics in how James appearance is supposed to be. Many fans of Superman dislike the fact that James was changed into an African-American guy instead of the white person he was portrayed in the comics. Just like some dragon ball fans(*cough Toastie Cough Jaiyan cough*) complain about Super because of its animation, fans of Superman complain about both Perry and James being changed from their original appearances. Its not that their concern has merit(it does because fans deserve better) its just that their letting their emotions cloud their judgment whether a series such as Super or Supergirl is good or bad!

If you think about it both Gohan and James went through significant changes! In the comics James was White and in the series he is portrayed as an African American. For most of Dragon Ball Z Gohan was a fighter however after the battle with Majin Buu-and even more so now with Super- Gohan is being portrayed as a scholar who isn't a fighter anymore. Heck even Goku himself ragged on Gohan in Chapter 6 of the manga saying that he didn't fight anymore(because he lost his Gi and he's away at a conference during the Champa tournament).

Once again the information about Wynn's father comes from "childish things" the meteor refers to the episode after that episode and the prisoner is referring to 2 episodes after that so please don't spoil anything! In any case, another chapter of Character Comparison is coming soon so stay tuned!
