What's DC's pitch to a prominent non-comics creator right now, especially from a marginalized background? "You'll get to write a superhero! For very little money! An insane fanbase will bay for your blood! And not only will we not defend you, we'll look for an oppurtunity to throw you overboard!"

Metamorpho! Rex is a top 10 DC character for me thanks to Ramona Fradon, and one of my favorites to draw. Of all the Terrifics, he turned out to be the one I missed the most afterward. Glad to see folks discovering him thanks to Superman. Also everybody should read Ewing/Lieber's book!
