DC Full (Maybe) Encyclopedia

[Jurisdiction]

Hi everyone! On the last Office Hours, I told @CKComics-Rebel-2ndinCommand that I would make a DC encyclopedia. Only issue: I don’t have enough time, nor do I have enough knowledge! So, I thought Hey! Why don’t I make this a fun-community-fun-time-encyclopedia-thing-extravaganza-DC-facts-page-type-thing?! So here we are! Any facts you think are missing, just add 'em! Unless you don’t want to; then, just tell me to— I’ll get to it… eventually!

Now, @CKComics-Rebel-2ndinCommand gave us a bit of guidelines in his initial request. We should have storylines, characters, locations, and more!

I’m gonna start tomorrow, but if you want to start tonight, feel free!

Codename: Hitman

Real Name: Tom “Tommy” Monaghan

First Appearance: The Demon — Annual 2 (1993)

Origin: Tommy Monaghan was just another hitman (get the name?) in Gotham. What set him apart from the other paid killers is that he only killed people who deserved it. Heroes and cops were always spared. Things were going semi-decently for him until Bloodlines. During the Bloodlines event, Tommy was attacked by a brutal demon, Glonth, but he survived. Not only did he survive, he thrived! He gained the abilities to read minds and to see through anything. Now, Tommy does the same exact jobs, but with superpowers! And he has to deal with not being killed by the mob. Or the government. Or demons. But hey! At least he’s friends with Superman!

First Appearance: Wonder Woman #22 (1947)
Creators: William Marston and H.G Peter
Abilities: Holliday College level education. An over inflated opinion of oneself.

---

Backstory: The most jealous of the Holliday Girls. Gell was a woman who saw the achievements made by others and looked on with rage. Convinced that she was more capable than anyone else despite never applying herself to do so.

Whenever she sees someone accomplish something that was beyond her such as building a space ship for traveling to Venus or ruling over an entire planet, Gell would react with jealousy. Convinced that she could accomplish anything better than her counterparts and suspecting them of somehow cheating in one way or another to get where they are.

What would otherwise be a simple character flaw would blow up, for when discovering that Venus has a monarchy, she would begin plotting to overthrow the government and conquer the planet. Wishing to rule because she believes herself better than anyone else.

We need to try this again.

[Jurisdiction]

Yeah…

Maybe we should just do things that aren’t on the DC Wiki (dc.fandom.com)

[CKComics-Rebel-2ndinCommand]

Makes sense.
