| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

As you might be aware, DC Comics was planning to pick a random established superhero and making him gay (yes, that in itself is immensely stupid). They picked Alan Scott, for some reason. Here's a quote showing why that backfired horrendously:
Yep, as the Joker would say, "what a bonner". * Obsidian, in case you don't know. He was a gay superhero character and a damn awesome one at that, and sadly with this whole Alan Scott incident, he no longer exists in the DC comics universe. Edited by Carlos, May 31 2012, 06:59 PM.

I fail to see how this retcons Obsidian. Several gay men have had children with women before they come out of the closet. And anti-aging beam. Also, you asshole. Thinking only the famous superheros should stay in the lime-light? Shame on you. I promote the idea of a new superhero getting their time. |

Glad they didn't choose Batman. I have nothing against homosexuality, but I do not want a gay Batman. Don't know if anybody else has noticed, but there aren't a whole lot of gay billionaire playboys around. Plus, you know, the whole Catwoman thing. They should just make Aquaman gay, that won't ruin anything for anybody. Might actually make him more popular. Also the Green Lantern is black and voiced by Avery Brooks. That's the one I grew up with, and there is no room in my heart for another. |

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar. "The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming Tree That Owns Itself

I think they mean it's another member of the Green Lantern Corps., not the Earth Sector Green Lantern. Also, I fail to see why people hate Aquaman so much. He has most of the powers of Superman, plus the ability to talk to anything derived from the sea. Even bald eagles. This makes him a badass. |

It's Aquaman. What the fuck is the point? I can't understand why he's likeable, he's so overpowered (as is superman) that it's goddam boring, and he's not even half as interesting as superman. Maybe I've read too much Alan Moor and Neil Gaiman, but I like superheroes that are also well written and developed characters, like Rorschach or the Sandman |

The Marvel Universe has corrupted everything DC stands for, all in the name of high drama. Think about it Seascorp. DC heros' jobs are to be an inspiration for people, people they can look up to, people they can aspire to be like; in steadfastness, in character, in ideals. And what did Marvel offer? They said, "Don’t worry; you don’t have to aspire to anyone in our books. You just have to relate to them." And now we have an entire culture that thinks that who they are is just fine and how dare anyone suggest they can improve themselves? Why aspire to be Superman when it’s so much easier to relate to Spider-Man? No one wants to look up to DC anymore, Seascorpion. They don’t want to strain their necks. Instead they look straight ahead at the compromised heroes in front of them and say "That’ll do just fine". Pisses me off when people say they prefer Marvel over DC. Give me one good reason why a superhero shouldn't be someone you aspire to be and instead, someone you can relate to. Edited by Kamidio, Jun 1 2012, 02:02 AM.

I don't mean like that, fool. I mean in the sense of bettering yourself. Marvel: Oh you're just fine being a whiny-ass buttmunch, and that's fine, because we've got a superhero like you! Meanwhile, Batman would tell you to man up and stop your whining, and go do something productive with your time, like helping plant a forest, or finding a cure for cancer. But why bother when building yourself up takes effort? Edited by Kamidio, Jun 1 2012, 02:09 AM.

Do they have to be role models? Can't it just be for fun? I don't need Spinnerette or the Liberty League teaching me what to do to enjoy them. Besides, got a I've got a better one in Reinhard von Lohengramm. Emperor steals your sister for his concubine? Conquer the whole universe. |

Why is John always making topics about how the entire world is supposedly homophobic and bigoted? |

Why do you keep posting snide things in his threads? I mean,sure, John is slightly delusional (no offense John, but anyone who styles themselves a messiah classifies as delusional). but I don't understand why you dislike him so much. Without him the forum wouldn't be the same. |

Because they outright stated Obsidian doesn't exist.
The Earth Sector has, like, four. Why the hell do they have four when the rest of the galaxy only has one is something we might never know (by "never know" I mean "Earth is the most important planet because an alien dolphin thing made of white light lives there durr")
Same here. The only superheroes I can really apreciate from the main two are a few characters from DC and the Young Avengers from Marvel. Everyone else could die of botulism and I would not give a shit. Edited by Carlos, Jun 1 2012, 08:08 AM.

I think it's because the Earth Lanterns are notoriously unreliable in being available for missions. That, and they're dead half the time. |

That said, with the sheer amount of costumed superheroes, one would think one Green Lanterns would be pointless. One thing that truly bothers me is how specialised superheroes are. Wonder Woman should just kill the Joker, and Batman would be fine and dandy. |

Well, they truly confirmed it. Obsidian is gone. Now we have his dad kissing a sassy black haired guy that appeared the fuck out of nowhere. R.I.P. Todd Rice and his boyfriend. Edited by Carlos, Jun 1 2012, 10:25 AM.
