Ask quickly before I get bored!

Alright, Bart, I trust you, so I'm gonna pose the question to you...

Do you think 'Heroes' is a good name for a superteam?

Heroes? Little generic, but I guess it works. Though it kind of sounds like a crappy TV show to be honest.

Finally, someone who agrees! I spent the whole time I was on that team trying to convince them the name was lame and we needed to change it...

I mean, Young Justice isn't a great name either, but Heroes... does it at least stand for something? H.E.R.O.E.S?

Psh, no. I happened 'cause the media asked us who we were, and Donner said to them 'We're just Heroes'. So, of course, the media ran with it, and we never got to change it before it became recognized... Freakin' media.

Who's Donner? That's kind of what happened with Young Justice. I told Ace Atchinson that we were young, but just us, not the Junior Justice League or whatever, but he thought I was saying Young Justice so that became our name.

Donner is another superhero 'round Dakota... She was a member of the Shadow cabinet for a while, then left with a few others to make Heroes. I was the first person they called!

So, apparently, media messing with names is a common thing... good to know.

Cool! I haven't heard of either of those teams!

Yeah! I mean, I named myself--well, Batman named me, but plenty of people just get named by the papers or whatever.

Briefs. Boxers would bunch up under my costume. I sometimes sleep in 'em, though.
