The Idea Zone: Tranquility an impossibilty? Not anymore.

Alright people, time to get a new show on this red stained road...a new feature to my blog.
This time, I'll be discussing ideas that could be improved, and how I can succeed where actual writers couldn't.
Now note that this is not being done out of egotism, I'm simply writing down observations I've made.
Today, I'll be discussing Gail Simone's brilliant series, Welcome to Tranquility, and explain how it could fit into the New 52.

Even Superheroes have to retire.

Now for those of you who've been living under a chunk of Red Kyrptonite, let me explain the New 52.
The New 52 was the infamous "DC Comic's continuity reboot" where (among other things) Superman started out his career looking like Li'l Abner, Batman has to fight an Illuminati expy with an owl fetish, and Wonder Woman supposedly wore painted on pants...

But she didn't.

While I personally like plenty of the comics this reboot caused, a side effect is that pretty much all superheroes were active only within a five year period.
Welcome To Tranquility is a Gail Simone series about a retirement village for superheroes and their families. Most of them having previously operated in World War II, so they've been alive for quite some time.
The plot of the series revolves around a Fountain of Youth located beneath it, which is the source of the superheroes' slowed aging (as opposed to the Preboot Justice Society, who never had an explanation for their comparatively young looks.) But the main point I'm bringing up is, how the Hell could I work these two together? How do I explain how heroes from WWII exist in a world where superheroes have only been around for a few years?
My answer is quite simple, because of something else Wildstorm Comics (which published Welcome to Tranquility) made.
Now you see, the DC reboot incorporated the Vertigo and Wildstorm Comics universes into itself, hence why it's possible to use them.

They did not, however, incorporate Dr. Insano...he shaved their cats.

In Mark Millar's run on the Authority, he used an army containing evil versions of many Marvel characters, most prominately, the Avenegers (these jackasses being named "The Americans" instead), they were created by an evil midget scientist who also happens to be an ersatz Jack Kirby (apparently he finally wanted to get back at his editors for screwing him over) as part of a plan to keep America safe during the Cold War, there were thousands of these sociopaths and they all were stored in about five invisible bunkers, ready to burst out and fight anyone they were ordered to.
So you can imagine how much of a shitnado would occur if they, say, went rogue...with said mad scientist plotting to attack the modern world with this army of psychopaths.

 The guy in front loves rape more than Dr. Rockzo loves cocaine.

So how can I use this? Simple, I could merely retcon them to have been made through the same process (being people taken in by the government through ads and solicitation in secret, and used to create this army of superheroes) but they were engineered by a different scientist who treated them humanely, since why most of them aren't evil bastards (supervillains live there too, so they could just be subjects who attempted to go rogue) the current version of the town being a secret community similar to Eureka! from the Sci-Fi channel.
Another idea could be that these heroes are still used on missions, while all the superheroes of this second half of the project (plus descendents) who truly are retired go to a different underground community...Neopolis from Alan Moore's totally awesome police procedural series, Top Ten. (Though granted I'd try to see if he'd be alright with this first, it wouldn't feel right otherwise) where all the citizens are superheroes...living like normal people, but with the obvious twist. Granted it was originally published under Alan Moore's "America's Best Comics" imprint, but that got bought by Wildstorm, which in turn was bought by DC, so it can be used just as easily.

Oh, and there's super-prostitutes too.

Anyways I wrap this up,  I'd like to establish that while I've found a way, Gail Simone sadly didn't (see here, {link} ) so just to make sure things're clear, I like her work (not as much as Alan's Moore's or Grant Morrison's, but she can write pretty damn good) especially Secret Six (first supervillain protagonist book I ever read), Suicide Squad, and Welcometo Tranquility.) So this isn't my egotism speaking, I just wanted to demonstrate my considerable creative talents and vast knowledge of comics to show how something an author thought couldn't be done...actually could. (Though for the record, I was the first to come up with this idea.)

So anyways, that's my post for today, thank you for your  support and I hope to see you all in the near future.

Peace.
