Episode 49: DC Around the World (DC Characters based outside the United States)
A continuation of last episode, where we discussed Marvel characters based outside the United States, this time we turn our attention to DC, and what heroes they have created who originate from a (non-fictional) foreign country. I apologize in advance if I get any of the pronunciations wrong. I did my best, but I’m not perfect!
I think that guy in the front was also on the cover of Action Comics #1.
Sorry Craveonline, you did not get your wish…(although 35 issues isn’t bad for a new character these days)
See how many characters you can guess the country of origin just from their costume!
Ice, Fire and Dr. Light are the three in a triangle behind the balding man (named Oberon). Rocket Red has “CCCP” on his helmet. If you want to know about any others, just ask!
That’s a lot of hope on Most Excellent Super Bat’s costume…
The original Great Ten (or, at least, their heads).
That should cover a lot of the ones I didn’t hit in the episode itself.
