I've been watching old episodes of Dexter's Laboratory. I loved the design of Capital G, one of the background members of the Justice Friends. He was obviously intended to be a Luke Cage/Black Goliath homage.
Edit: Decided to give him a background that reflects his powers.
The New Warriors getting blown up as "red shirts" right at the beginning was my least favorite thing about Civil War. And then of course they salted the wound by turning Speedball into Penance...
I love Cartoon Network's old days!
Dexter's Laboratory had some classic episodes...
