Reviews FanFic / The Last Son

The Last Son

This fanfic is a fairly good DC/Marvel crossover, but it has some issues. Superman feels like a Gary Stu at times, ESPECIALLY at the beginning. His weaknesses are all quickly eliminated— kryptonite, annoyingly enough, by a quick-activating nanosuit, and magic by willpower, an infuriating development that has no basis in either marvel or DC. Most characters that weren't shown in Smallville or the animated shows are complete O Cs as well. Dazzler has very little resemblance to her canon marvel counterpart, several of the New Mutants have different character (Jamie Madrox especially), but the worst of all is Carol Danvers, who is transformed to a nice, heroic woman who was given her powers against her will to a horrible person who used an untested, dangerous technology on herself with no forethought just in case she was needed.

The story has good point— the plot is fairly well-done, and it's nice to see DC and Marvel characters interacting like this. The X-Men come across as a tight-knit family, which can create some legitimately heartwarming moments as well.
