Orion has the Astroforce, he doesn't count.

Doesn't he need the Astro-Harness to channel it?

That's what I meant.

Whatever the thing that lets him fly is called.

Yara Flor gained the power of flight, somehow, during the tail end of Future State, so I consider her another asterisk.

She doesn't have flight now though, she's dependent on the pegasus.

But he's not flying under his own power.

That reminds me of how Bouncing Boy's induction into the Legion only happened because it was before they wore flight-rings, which presumably would've solved the situation (a bad guy used electricity on them but he wasn't grounded).

So?

That probably does bring in a bunch of Legionnaires in the regular Brick category. Maybe.

The Legion is basically an entire army of flying bricks due to the flight rings.

Have Midnighter and Jack Hawksmoor been mentioned?

Not yet. I was under the impression that Midnighter is strong but more like a little past peak human strong, not pick up a car and toss it like a football strong.

Most of the notable DC characters of that archetype are villains: Bane, Doomsday, Solomon Grundy, King Shark, Killer Croc, Blockbuster, etc.

He's a lot stronger than that.

Jack Hawksmoor can control cities and reshape them so that disqualifies him from brick status.

Dc editor Jim Lee shared art of Goku as a tribute to the late Akira Toriyama.

That's nice.

That art is baller.

An interesting thing about Dragon Ball is that in the first chapter, Son Goku is introduced as The Monkey King, but in the fourth arc it's revealed that he's not. He's an alien who fell to Earth and the name Son Goku is a combination of Son Gohan's surname, the child's hair ending in five spikes, and of course him falling from the sky, with the fact the kanji matches up to Sun Wukong mostly being a happy coincidence since Goku does have a tail that lets him transform. His birth name is actually "Kakarot".

The real monkey king is never actually seen in Dragon Ball, but Majin Buu, the villain of the final arc, is far more Sun Wukong like than Goku is, lack of visual resemblance to a monkey aside.

Now DC actually uses what is supposed to be the legit Monkey King, every once and while, and even had that Monkey Prince book that lead to the Lazarus Planet event, if I remember correctly. DC could probably get some mileage out of Monkey King/Prince dealing with a Dragon Ball style antagonist that is mistaken for King/Prince.

right now the real monkey king is trapped in the phantom zone, and the monkey prince is one of his hair clones that became his own person, and is the adopted grandson of the ultra humanite.

Where did the Ultra Humanite get his white gorilla body from anyway?

Pre-Crisis he "mutated an ape until its skull was big enough to contain his brain", as seen in Justice League of America $195.

Even by superhero standards, anything in DC involving primates is nuts.

Green Lantern#11: Still conflicted over her love for Hal, and having lost all of Ferris Air's military contracts, Carol tries forcing herself to move on and almost marries her fiancé in Vegas but the ceremony is interrupted by a Sapphire ring. Carol utters Hal's name...he's in need of her. The issue ends. Obviously she's gonna ditch Nathan at the altar

A wedding interrupted in a superhero comic? What an original idea.
