WHAT DOES DC STAND FOR - DEFECTING CHARACTERS? MINI-GUEST POST BY BARRY PEARL...
Hi, readers. Quick, answer this question: What is your favorite character created by DC? Read on. You may be wrong!!!!!
I was talking to my friend Carl about how the creation of characters seemed to have left the field. We mentioned that almost all of the movie characters from Marvel come from the era 1961-1965 and 1970-1972 (Blade and Deadpool).
Then he said "And DC created most of their marquee characters from 1938-1945." I thought about and said, "Not so fast, DC never was a creator of characters, they were a good buyer of intellectual properties."
Superman was not developed at DC. Siegel and Shuster created Superman in their homes and tried to sell it to the comics strip syndicators. DC bought Superman from them, they did not create or initiate it.
Batman was created by Bob Kane (Robert Kahn) and Bill Finger, and DC bought the character from them.
The Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Justice Society (later the Justice League), Atom, and Hawkman all came from All-American Comic Company. This was a separate company from DC, with different offices and staff, but was co-owned by two of the publishers of DC with M.C. Gaines. It was not DC.
Blackhawk, Plastic Man, G.I. Combat were bought from Quality Comics. The Spirit, created by Will Eisner also appeared in Quality comics. He too was bought by DC.
Captain Marvel (Shazam) was bought from Fawcett.
Harley Quinn was created by the animators of the Batman animated series, not the comic book staff.
Even the Watchmen were a version of characters created by Charlton.
Many of the 'second string' heroes and fillers (Tommy Tomorrow and Congo Bill) were created by DC but not many of the 'big boys'. (Recently, Green Arrow and Aquaman have become popular on TV and in the movies.)
So DC was great in buying characters, never in creating them. Yet look what Marvel created in the early 1960s: Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Avengers, X-Men, Daredevil, Thor, Iron Man, The Hulk, Sgt. Fury, Inhumans, Black Panther, Dr. Strange, Silver Surfer, S.H.I.E.L.D. and so much more.
