    DC/Marvel-Harry xover

    Well, duh. :) But there's also the issues she has as a character - I feel a story with a Harry that has the same sort of view on life, mostly due to the unfair expectations and fame placed upon him, would go well with Kara. I had some vague idea that Kara, after meeting a kindred sort of spirit in Harry and wanting go her own way/forge her own path (and not be known as 'Superman's Cousin' - or just 'his' name with 'girl' tacked on), would form a 'dark' sort of duo with Harry - sort of like...

    It's about popularity - that, and anything 'British' is usually thought of as being 'dark' in the DC:U - see Constatine, etc. I would, honestly, rather write about Supergirl/Kara than Captain Britain - not because Kara's American, but because she's both well known and her character appeals to me. Her distrusting personality and quirks would work well with a Harry who was on the same sort of page.

    Well, I could make a list... :awesome I'm writing several, actually, as well as a 'vanilla' story. While getting to know the DC world more in-depth (and this involves -basically- torrenting comics, watching the TV shows, and mentally chuggin' down wiki/Comic Vine page after page after page), I'm planning out my own, major DC/HP crossover. In the mean-time, I'm writing several omakes/spin-off one-shots for Power of Oa (the main one being a "re-do" of Kara's near rape by Lex, and Harry...

    A drill factory having an accident that gives Harry powers. Sorry, I think the suspension of disbelief would be strained a tad too hard, there. Potions trope is done all the time, except that it's usually a catalyst for either mindless slash, Harry changing gender, or being sent back in time to either his parents' school years, or the Founders. So, nah - do not want.

    People would expect Sirius to be like that - they'll think Azkaban - nuts - Joker. Not a hard connection to make. :) However, if the story left the "Joker's" identity hidden , and it mislead/implied to the reader that it was Sirius via clues, dialogue, etc., only for it to twist and turn out to be, say, Pettigrew, or even a character that no one expected... Heck, if cloak and dagger is used that much, both literally and figuratively, who says that the Joker has to be a man? It'd require a...

    You know, I never actually considered that. That's pretty fucking awesome; mind if I use it? Little of both, but mainly for the former; character interactions and development are my weakest, and I want to build up/work on this angle/skill. If he starts batshit insane, and then slowly stabilises (if you can call it that) into being just unbalanced (being the catalyst so the narrative can eventually become more traditional), would that work? I may have to; I'm really torn between one and two....

    So the third is completely out, then; although there is some interest in the first, most is focused on the second. Yeah, they're competing; Harry grew up in tandem with Kara, so she knows him the best - that's why, despite what's currently going on with him, she still has faith in him. Their relationship dynamic would be very complex. Black Canary would be the third point in a triangle; she's attracted to Harry, Harry's in a bit of a dark place at the moment due to fate/circumstances and...

    So I'm in a bit of a bind, right now; I'm not sure which path to follow. I sort of want to do elements of all three but, due to their natures, they cannot be combined. Each have a Cthulhu-like feeling to them. Follows a Power of Oa/Boy Who Lived and the Last Lantern format. The back-story has Harry raised with Kara, and they have a complicated relationship dynamic. Everything looks to be happy, with everyone farting rainbows. By the time-frame of the actual story, when...

    Could be; we don't know if, for example, Lily's mother had green eyes, or if her father did. Her grandmother or grandfather, for example, could have had green eyes, and Lily's parents blue or even pink with purple spots. Erised probably shows Harry what he expected to see of family (he has green eyes, his mother had green eyes, and ergo, his maternal grandparent(s?) must have green eyes), not what actually was.

    We don't know that much about Harry's extended family; Some facts point to Charlus and Dorea (nee Black) Potter being James' parents, but other facts don't add up (dates, specifically). This could be explained by JKR's piss-poor math skills, but still... They did take Sirius in when James and he were at Hogwarts, and they died 'long before' Harry was born. His maternal family is, aside from Petunia and Dudley, a fair mystery, too. They also died before Harry was born, of 'natural causes'...

    Father...I don't really see happening, because that'd invalidate a key part of the series (his parents). It'd also be a bit close to the whole 'Percy Jackson' premise. However, Zeus as Harry's grandfather is something I could see happening; perhaps not his mother, due to Harry seeing his relatives (knobbly knees and green eyes from his mother's side) in the Mirror of Erised, but James... Then again, it'd only take one mortal, maternal grandparent/relative to keep the whole 'green eyed'...

    Sounds to me that he's just using a 'general' DC setting; nothing too specific such as -for examples- Batman: The Brave and the Bold or Justice League: Animated (which is the best, imho; allows more creative room, and allows elements from parallel DC universes -such as Powergirl and Supergirl, as two more examples- to be used, at the same time). If Harry is the key component to the plot, the title should reference him directly in some way, not everything else in general. Depending on his...

    Up to chapter 17 on this one; http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5920203/1/Harry_Potter_Returns The set-up is sort of interesting, but there are a few cliches. The plot starts with Superman Returns' storyline, at least for the first third or so of the fic', but quickly diverges into its own, so no 'insert Harry into this' sort of crapola. The author -rather lazily- copies text from Half-Blood Prince in one chapter, and at one point it's glaringly obvious (going to the Alley for a second time,...

    You know, thinking about it, if Harry was chucked in from somewhere that wasn't the DCU (or, Hell, if a fusion is done, instead), I could see an interesting relationship dynamic between Teleute and Harry. It could be spun that, since Harry has essentially accepted/embraced death (keeping in line with JKR's message), he's a loophole in the rule; he's technically not a mortal - not anymore. He ages to 25, and at the very moment his body is -biologically- at its peak, he stops aging before it...

    First one is a piss-poor femslash; not even considering it. Second is a fem!Harry, and I don't see why it was even written; the author could have used a wizard OC, instead, and it would have been a more flexible choice. Third is just terribly written, both in plot and in grammar. Yeah, you're right - couldn't bare any of them.

There's a new story up on ffn where Harry marries Talia and the alternate Kara Zor-El (Power Girl)...and it's pretty terrible, not just in plot but also in execution.

    Yup - Amazons, Batman Incorporated, and all that jazz. Apparently, one of the reasons why DC decided to 'restart' things was to fully put the Sandman (and those other two comic book lines - Wildfire, I think?) into the DC universe, instead of them being 'tacked on/in'. Also, Death from Sandman is fucking awesome. If you want to read a good cross with Harry Potter about the Endless, read Path of Decision ; the ending is a bit disappointing, but the fic itself is very good. Spoiler alert...

"Are you looking at my rear end?" "What? N-no..." Harry stuttered, his face turning a nice shade of crimson. His eyes still lingered, however. "Harry." Jean said flatly, gently tapping her own right temple. Harry sighed in defeat. "Fine." Still hidden from view, Jean smiled demurely - it looked...

    God no, some of those are the fandoms most horrid cliches. I'm not sure if the animagus potential is genetic (like metamorphmagi and, for example, seen in the Santi's fic) or a skill anyone can learn, like a Patronus charm. If it's genetic, it's already there in James, with possibly anything else the Wizarding World has - Purebloods are all inbred, after all. Didn't think of the Amazonians and any possible DNA there, to be honest; then again, if Harry was essentially a terrestrial...

This is my most major concern, at the moment. Could personality flaws and problems help make up for such things? I was thinking about either having Harry himself abducted, shoved into a tube and then 'worked on', or having Lily and James abducted, altered, and then have...

Simple, frail. Kryptonian DNA: Empire State Building. Strong, complex. Harry's 'What Humans were supposed to be' DNA: Big Ben. Solid, complex in a different way.

    Not flashbacks per say, but hints in that dialogue that give the reader a rough idea of what happened in Harry's AU Hogwarts years. Really, this would work best if the wizarding world isn't the focus of the current story arc, but if it's a part/small part of it. Readers have already read the books - they know the basics of Hogwarts, so if Harry mentions that, oh for example he rescued Hermione or Luna from the Chamber as a side comment, a reader can put the facts together quite easily.

    That'd also mean that Ginny/the rest of the Epilogue crap would have to be dealt with - if you use the canon Harry. If your Harry had a different time at Hogwarts, eg, a different House, different friends, a different attitude, etc, it'd essentially broaden your creative freedom when it comes to his character, and you could just drop in the text hints/reveals about Harry's time at Hogwarts. Eg. Kara ran her fingers through the worn fabric, her fingertrips gently probing the garment's...

    Just had a look at the Reimagined Marvel continuity...from what I can gather, they're basically pulling a Battlestar: Galactica, right? But, several major storylines from the original (late 2000's onwards) are still canon in the new? How does that work out, exactly? Does the 'old' continuity still exist with the new, in some form, even as history? (Did they essentially pull a 'Red Alert'?).

Supergirl is linked with a lot of the DC universe's heroes through either family (Superman) or friendship/surrogate family (Batman) - using her as a catalyst for Harry's introduction to said world would be smooth and efficient, if the relationship/friendship between her and him isn't forced.
