scarletspeed7 09/07/18 12:53:08 PM #380:	The Looking Glass (...For lack of a better name. ._.') IHATETHISCPU Scarlet Spider (Kaine, as much as I miss Ben) Moon Knight Stained Glass Scarlet Black Maria Black Alice Layla Miller Multiple Man Huntress (Prefer Helena Bertinelli... Pre-Flashpoint? Whatever Flashpoint is/was?) Nightwing This team is awesome. There's some real variety here. Powers are all over the place, personalities are all over the place, but somehow this all really gels together as a sort of neo-noir pulp mysteryman group. The pieces of X-Factor and the Birds of Prey really gel together, and the potential of this membership to turn into a mini-Justice League is great. There are some heavy hitters in the group, but they don't overshadow the other members because Nightwing and Huntress aren't particularly super-powered. Nightwing is a natural leader, but stars like Black Alice and Layla would have ample opportunity to shine thanks to their abilities. This is another team where I don't have vision, but I LOVE the flavor. I see night-time rooftops and alleyways. I see the macabre and the bizarre. I really see moonlight. But I also have some vision for this group - the title makes me think of counter-Earths. The Crime Syndicates. The Marvel Zombies. I would love to create a merged Earth version of DC and Marvel that caters to that opposing force, the doppelganger, the enemy unknown. This is the perfect group to work as detectives, unite together as they all trace different threads to the same central rope. Building such a group on detective characters or detective-like characters makes this feel conspiratorial. It preys on the fear of an organized opposite, and that's perfect for this group. My only issue is that the membership is just a little too large for the concept. I think it's a little unwieldy for the tone the book seems to strike. Through the Looking Glass is definitely one of the great teams on this list, and I almost regret ranking it as low as I am, but there's just so much greatness ahead of this. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
