Match

That's exactly how I imagine the "Justice Gang" reacting in a future Superman movie if Clark shows up with Kon and Match.

I just realized I left this confusing, sorry.

I don't know enough about this Amanda; the closest I get to that is her encounters with Kon and the whole arc with baby Jim.

Oh, the old version of her? Yeah, it's definitely would be more interesting since she was less of a "villain" character and more just morally grey, I guess.

The JLU ultimen

I don't want them to be like the Ultimen from the series, but they're still a squad of Waller's.

But I agree that they have a bond that has been influenced by circumstances. Perhaps they would have been platonic in a better situation, or queer platonic.

But it's a dynamic that works and, technically, they still have Culebra, Black Siren (and possibly Talon, since he's a zombie).

Yeah, it's was honestly just fine.

Ooo yeah. Honestly a platonic relationship of them being queer platonic would have been interesting as well!

If Johnny's quirk was like the one in the movie "Crisis on Two Earths," I would understand.Black Siren makes sense, especially with her connection with Match.

But the evil version of Donna Troy (who replaced the evil version of Lois?)? What? And the evil Green Lantern? It makes no sense at all.

With so many people, plus Culebra and Talon, weren't there more reliable options?

Considering how different the reasons were for creating this team, they could even be like the ultimen team from JLU.

Agreed. I kinda feel like the Suicide Squad is over used or doesn't exactly fit with the universe anymore. Idk how to explain it but it partially has to do with how Waller's character has changed over the years and seems that she's more synonymous with being another villain/antagonist who has power kinda like Lex rather than someone who wants to do good but is using underhanded means to get results, and how the Squad's purpose has been skewed more towards a "a group of villain who are unwilling made a part of team." rather than "a group of villains who willing chose to be a part of team that undergoes suicide missions in order to lessen their prison sentences."

If you're familiar with John Ostrander's run of Suicide Squad you might get what I'm saying.

I feel they would be better as a slow burn.

As I said before, getting to know her better would have helped a lot.Nocturna is usually an adult, but this version appears to be close in age to Match.

Agreed. I think if there had been more time for them to develop more as well as getting more time to know Nocturna's character it might have been more interesting to me.

It's not like a favorite decision of mine, I'm never really a fan of romance side plots, but I think it sorta works if you look at from the perspective of trauma bonding. Them both in this situation of the Squad and just finding comfort in each other.

I wish we had gotten to know a little more about that Nathalie (Nocturna), since she was a new version.

Yeah! I agree! I mean I was mostly in it for Match, but if they would have had a longer run I think things could have been more interesting! Match also having a sort of leadership role for a bit was really nice to see as well (even if he thought he was Kon for a chunk of it.)

And agreed about about Nocturna. Yeah they did say she was from a different Earth or something or that she didn't belong, so it would have been interesting to find out more.

Kon, w/ baby Jim Harper and the DNAngels: a smoothie?

Haha that's good!

I'm torn between being upset that they forgot Eve and finding it funny that the Titans partially raised him.

Dark hair. My first encounter with Match was through the Teen Titans comics so that version of him is the one I first came to know and have nostalgia for.

I really like aspects of his Teen Titans self and his Suicide Squad self. I personally feel like there's a lot of potential to his character in these eras. Especially more so with the Suicide Squad comics. For me, Match during Superboy '94 feels like he falls more into basic evil clone tropes.

Only in @suzukiblu fics

Does anyone know anything about Match?

Like, he showed up with the Earth-3 group (and that basic outfit), but did something happen?

Did you read Suicide Squad (2021)? Because that's why he's with he's on Earth 3/Earth-0 (actually) with that group.

Skipping through a lot, Match became a part of Amanda Waller's personal "Justice League" (Note: she is calling them her Justice League) in order to make sure she doesn't try anything evil or terrible with her League. He's watching over them along with Nocturna, and they are all stationed on Earth-0.

They haven't done anything since then. They only had a brief cameo during the Absolute Power event (Absolute Power Task Force VII #5) and they also did nothing in there.

If you want a reading list for that:

Suicide Squad (2021) #1-6

Suicide Squad Annual (2021) #1

Suicide Squad #7-12

War for Earth-3 #1

Suicide Squad #13

The Flash (2016) #780 (Match doesn't appear in this one, but it's a part of the War for Earth-3 mini event)

Teen Titans Academy #13 (Match also doesn't appear in this one, but it also has to do with the event.)

War for Earth-3 #2

It's about this one?

But could you be more specific about point 3? it's about Lex 's part?
