Line 75:
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Bowman.
* [[The Jailer]]: The Warden.
* [[Kid Hero]]: The students of the [[Super -Hero School|Claremont]] [[Elaborate University High|Academy]], especially the members of the Next-Gen and the Alterniteens.
** [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save The World]]
* [[Kid Sidekick]]: Previous versions of the Bowman had a sidekick called Arrow. Two of them [[Sidekick Graduations Stick|went on to become the next Bowman]], and one became a [[Nineties Anti -Hero]] called Archer.
* [[Kill All Humans]]: Talos.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: As a general rule, Freedom City doesn't have a [[Death Is Cheap|Revolving Door Afterlife]].
Line 95:
* [[Master of Illusion]]: Rave. Silver Scream.
* [[Multiversal Conqueror]]: Omega, Una.
* [[My Grandson, Myself]]: Daniel Daedalus, one of the world's most brilliant scientists and engineers, is not merely named for the figure from Greek mythology, he ''is'' the original Daedalus. Many believe the Daedalus who fights alongside the Freedom League today is the son of the Daedalus from the 1960s; he does nothing to discount the rumor, since his immortality isn't widely known.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: Omega, Lord of the Terminus.
* [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]]: Daedalus. Dr. Atom. Dr. Simian. Dr. Sin. Overshadow.
Line 108:
* [[Psycho Serum]]: The DNAscent Process. The assorted treatments offered by the Power House.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Daedalus. Mastermind. Taurus. Medea.
* [[Ridiculously -Human Robots]]: The Angel Androids.
* [[Robot Buddy]]: Freebooter. Talos was one, for Daedalus. The Chorale were also ones, for Daedalus. Notice a pattern?
* [[Science Hero]]: The Atom Family, particularly Dr. Atom and Tess Atom.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Bolt. Captain Thunder.
* [[Shout -Out]]: '''Everything'''. Not only are there a ton of [[Alternate Company Equivalent]] s, [[Captain Ersatz]] s, and [[Expy|Expys]], virtually every location in Freedom City is a loving homages to classic comic book characters and sites.
== [[Shout Outs]] ==
** AEGIS [[Incredibly Lame Pun|is the name of a mythological]] S.H.I.E.L.D.
Line 163:
** Siren is a mix of [[Aquaman (Comic Book)|Aquaman]], [[The Mighty Thor|Thor]], [[X-Men|Storm]], and [[Wonder Woman]].
** Star Knight is a [[Green Lantern]] homage, with bits of [[ROM Spaceknight]].
** The Thieves Guild are one-to-one homages to [[The Flash]]'s Rogues: Huckster is Trickster; Bola is Captain Boomerang; Looking Glass is Mirror Master; Weather Mistress is Weather Wizard; Firebug is Heatwave; and the Mad Maple is Captain Cold. (Although the Maple's name and Canadian origin are also a [[Shout -Out]] to [[Big Name Fan]] Jim "T. M. Maple" Burke.)
** Thomas Rhymer is a [[John Constantine]] homage.
** Talos is quite close to [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Ultron]].
Line 172:
** The Ultima (aka the Hyperboreans) are an expy of Marvel's [[The Eternals|Eternals]]
** Una, Queen of the Netherworld has much in common with [[Doctor Strange|Umar of the Dark Dimension]].
** UNISON has a fair bit in common with [[Doctor Who (TV)|UNIT]], in particular having dealt with alien invaders operating from a base they had constructed in [[BBC Quarry|a gravel quarry in central England]] in 1969.
 
* [[Sizeshifter]]: Maximus Atom.
