The Justice Alliance is a group made up of Duckman, Mosquito Man, Rock Woman, Red Lightning, and Arrowhead. Their powers didn't come from the Crash and they existed before the crash. They go to therapy as well, but they aren't members of the superhero team, Therapy.

Duckman is Andrew Wolfe. Duckman, like Batman, is a super rich crime fighter whose parents were killed. However, the duckman's parents died on his thirteenth birthday. His flying fortress, the Gander, is his personal watchtower. When there's trouble he glides down to protect his town, Greenville.

Mosquito Man is an annoying 15 year old named Mathew Whitney. He was bitten by an enchanted mosquito that magically gave him the ability to stick to walls and fly. He built a pair of fake wings to mask his magic powers and a sonic disarmament device he calls a buzzer. Lives in Detroit.

Red Lightning is a mechanically enhanced speedster from the year 2170. He can run faster than the speed of light and fell back here when he first did. At 23, he's working with his great great great grandfather and his younger great great grandmother building suits that let him harness his powers safely, and protecting Detroit from harm.

Arrowhead is an Jo Youngman, a 27 year old native american genderfluid individual. Prior aliases include red arrow, pink arrow, Light, and Fletching. Doesn't abuse substances like alcohol or drugs, but occasionally uses pot when they're trying to calm themselves down before an archery competition. They are an aroace. 

Rock Woman, Alice Brown, is a magical being who recently changed her form to a woman. She's an old being. She has the power to talk to rocks and telekinesis, among other things such as precognition and immortality. She's rich from selling her services. Member of the Justice Alliance, powers have caused her once great intellect to atrophy. She's in love with Majo Majima.

The Crash was a literal car crash where two cars rammed into a tanker truck carrying Quantum Spin Liquid. One person, Abigail Rodriguez, died in the Crash. The rest gained powers. The few who became heroic after the crash eventually joined together in a group called Therapy. They also all talk about the trauma from their super heroics in individual therapy sessions and talk about their group superheroics in group therapy sessions. A potential framing device for the comics is they're all sitting in the circle talking about what happened in their last missions.

Xscape: Jackson MacDuffie, a teenage boy, Privacy's son. He joins his mom in therapy. He is a teleporter, and leaves burn residue in the shape of an x if confined, his powers cause him a level of distress and he sees alternate realities all the time. Before joining Therapy, Jackson was kidnapped and treated like a slave at the hands of Diana Rice.

Privacy: She is a superstar, her stage name is Michelle Jaxon, really her name is Michelle MacDuffie. She can turn invisible and create forcefields, but her forcefields silence what's said behind them, her powers cause her severe paranoia. This causes her stardom to begin waning until she starts therapy. She's there to save her son when he gets put under Dangerous' spell.

Dangerous: Diana Rice, another actress who was in Michelle's car during the Crash. She has mind control powers, the side effects turning off her inhibitions and causing her to want her desires to be fulfilled. She kidnaps Xcape and forces him to satisfy her every desire and lust. Privacy and Wren worked together to free Jackson from her clutches. She eventually teams up with Twilight to torture Majo Majima by altering Majo's perception of reality.

Majo: Majo Majima, the Witch of Therapy. She heals people, her powers seemingly have no side effects, she's in therapy because of her depression and guilt, mostly due to her wishing she could have saved her girlfriend at the time of the Crash. Joins Therapy with The MacDuffies to fight Dangerous and Twilight. Her solo run ends with her losing her eye after thinking Sarah was rehabilitated. She's Rockwoman's fiancée and eventual wife. She went by the name Sympathy at one point before

Twilight: Sarah Florence, she's a necromancer, her powers cause her to develop psychosis and have psychotic breaks. The cause for her break at the end of Majo's solo series is her giving a pie to Majo and Majo taking it. Sarah and Majo are also exes. They were in a polyamorous relationship with Abigail Rodriguez before her death in the crash. While Lectric was trying to seduce Rockwoman, She was torturing by Majo with Dangerous, using Abigail Rodriguez and Dangerous's mind control to fuck with her perception. Majo only being saved by Silenced Wren saying something out loud for the first time since the Crash.

Silenced Wren: Trinity May Grace, a teenage musician with the power to control vibrations. She's mute due to trauma experienced because of an accident at the hands of Privacy. Strenuously a member of Therapy due to Majo and Xcape's involvement, due to her fear of Michelle. Her powers have similar side effects to Jackson's. She was cuddling with him during the Crash.

Open a bank account or get a credit card without signed permission from her father or hr husband.

Serve on a jury - because it might inconvenience the family not to have the woman at home being her husband’s helpmate.

Obtain any form of birth control without her husband’s permission. You had to be married, and your hub and had to agree to postpone having children.

Get an Ivy League education. Ivy League schools were men’s colleges ntil the 70′s and 80′s. When they opened their doors to women it was agree that women went there for their MRS. Degee.

Experience equality in the workplace: Kennedy’s Commission on the Status of Women produced a report in 1963 that revealed, among other things, that women earned 59 cents for every dollar that men earned and were kept out of the more lucrative professional positions.

Keep her job if she was pregnant.Until the Pregnancy Discrimination Act in 1978, women were regularly fired from their workplace for being pregnant.

Refuse to have sex with her husband.The mid 70s saw most states recognize marital rape and in 1993 it became criminalized in all 50 states. Nevertheless, marital rape is still often treated differently to other forms of rape in some states even today.

Get a divorce with some degree of ease.Before the No Fault Divorce law in 1969, spouses had to show the faults of the other party, such as adultery, and could easily be overturned by recrimination.

Have a legal abortion in most states.The Roe v. Wade case in 1973 protected a woman’s right to abortion until viability.

Take legal action against workplace sexual harassment. According to The Week, the first time a court recognized office sexual harassment as grounds for legal action was in 1977.

Play college sports Title IX of the  Education Amendments of protects people from discrimination  based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial  assistance It was nt until this statute that colleges had teams for women’s sports

Apply for men’s Jobs   The EEOC rules that sex-segregated help wanted ads in newspapers are illegal.  This ruling is upheld in 1973 by the Supreme Court, opening the way for women to apply for higher-paying jobs hitherto open only to men.

Did you go to a good college? Shame on you, you took a college placement that could have gone to a man who deserves and needs it to support or prepare for his wife & children. But if you really must attend college, well, some men like that, you can still get married if you focus on finding the right man.

Got a job? Why? A man could be doing that job. You should be at home caring for a family. You shouldn’t be taking that job away from a man who needs it (see college, above). You definitely don’t have a career – you’ll be pregnant and raising children soon, so no need to worry about promoting you.

This shit was within living memory.  I’M A MILLENIAL and my mother was in the second class that allowed women at an Ivy League school. Men who are alive today either personally remember shit like this or have parents/family who have raised them into thinking this was the way America functioned back in the blissful Good Old Days. There are literally dudes in the GOP old enough to remember when it was like this and yearn for those days to return.

When I graduated and was going to get married I wanted to go on birth control pills. You needed to be on them for a least one cycle before they were effective. I won’t go into what hoops I had to jump through to get a prescription from my Dr. (a man, natch) but when i went to the drug store to get the prescription filled I ended up having to get my future husband to “accompany” me so the pharmacist “interview” him and see if it was okay with him for me to be on the pill.

Even when we went to get a marriage license I had to get my Father’s signature and we had to go before a Judge because I was not yet 21 (I was 20 and 9 months).

This is what they mean, when they say “Old-fashioned values”

But then I realized I actually do want to add something. This was written nine years ago. In the 9 years that have come to pass the white nationalist Christian fascism ultra right agenda of misogyny has had many victories.

You may be a “temporarily useful” one, a token, the reason harm comes to others like you; but you will never truly be “one of the good ones” to them.

You are as much every sex worker, every addict, every unhoused person in their eyes, as you are queer. Your rights and your liberation only extend as far as those you leave behind, much like how Black folks learn that no amount of money can save them from a cop that wants them dead.

There were Jewish people in favor of Hitler.
