Wildcat's probably already been with Courtney because, let's be honest, there aren't women in the DCU who can resist Wildcat. Scott's the kind of dude who would play the 'don't worry, baby, you won't get pregnant' act. And then Midnite is just creepy in general. <BR/><BR/>So I say to you, mighty Golden Age JSAers: Eyes front.

Look at the three front people -- Power Girl, Starman, and Steel - varying stages of the Guy Gardner expression and stance.<BR/><BR/>As for Starman, I suspect if he's not white he's a black man. I'm very certain this is Thom Khallor, and they have the option of using the time-lost version from the post-Zero Hour Legion who is white, or the grown-up version from the last reboot, who is black.<BR/><BR/>Either way, here's hoping he actually gets some lines in this series.
