scarletspeed7 09/21/18 11:17:06 AM #9:	#10 - The Geriatricks Created by: Eddv Kingdom Come Superman Jay Garrick Alan Scott Old Man Logan Old Man Hawkeye Charles Xavier It's great to see a Welcome to Tranquility reboot on the books here in this ranking, and I'm all for giving the olds a chance to shine whenever possible. If you know me, you know that I'm a big fan of the JSA, so a little nod to that group is excellent, and the intermixing of the Old Maniverse is also a welcome addition, giving a little bit of a harder edge to Alan's paternal and Jay's maternal instincts. This is neither a Justice League nor an Avengers, and it sure doesn't feel like an X-Men group. There's a certain amount of detached amusement that flavors the attitude of this team, and I think that would be the driving force here. Four of these team members come from realities where society has experienced the lowest of the lows. The other two have been forced into situations where very similar lows were narrowly averted - I think there would be a natural cohesion for this group, and if age does create wisdom, we'd have a group of measured, analytical minds trying to wrestle with how base to serve as a stopgap for the inevitable fall of western civilization. I like Superman as a natural big gun in this group because i think the leadership would always fall to Jay and Alan. They have a natural rhythm and dialogue between the two is always sort of musical. They are the guys who finish each other's sentences without the other person even starting a sentence in the first place. With the Marvel teammates, you have great ground-based offense, and with Professor X in particular, you have a great juxtaposition between Superman and Xavier. Both men have had the ability or opportunity to single-handedly reshape the world, and yet Xavier's better angels shouted down his demons while Superman became convinced that a new breed of authoritarianism was the only option. Ultimately, there's something to really explore there. Great stuff. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
