Thinking about why the Horned Figure is so fixated on Spear and Fang. And I feel it connects with the Primal Theory.

In the Primal world there this main dynamic in both the animals and civilizations: attackers, victims, and those that just keep to themselves. The few show compassion end up paying for it (the witch) or are too small to make a difference (the Celtic leader).

Spear and Fang subverted that when they struck up a bond. And then it continued to be subverted when not only Spear helped the pale ape men and later Mira (and most recently showed concern for Kamau), but Fang helped along or at least showed restraint.

So while the Primal Theory posits that even the most "advanced" human can fall into savagery, Spear and Fang showed that even the most "primitive" beings can express humanity.

The fact that Spear and Fang are able to back their humanity with an ability to kick ass adds an additional element: they are inspiring. Just look at Mira.

And if that inspiration is infectious, and if the Horned One oversees the Primal World with some grand order in mind, then said inspiration is dangerous to said Grand Order.

It's a bud that needs to be nipped.

Imagine a storyline where a character in the far future is basically the distilled bloodline of all these different heroes marrying, having kids, and so on.

That is a very, very, VERY interesting idea, @ironbloodaika.

The only slight flaw I can see is it would only work as a 'generational' concept. For example, the character wouldn't have the direct bloodline of Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, and so on because all those heroes lived in the same era.

However (and this is just an example) the person could be a descendent of Superman whose son was Superboy who married Wonder Girl who gave birth to an offspring who could have married a Tamaran (Starfire's race) who bred with Atlantian and so on and so on and so on. That way it would be as close as genetically possible without any cheats like DNA splicing or cloning.

But yeah, I think you're on to something there. You should pursue it! :) *great big squishy 'I'm still waiting on my superhero ancestry dot com results' hugs*

It'd be interesting, but it'd take a lot of fine-tuning and brainstorming to have it make sense. Create a family tree and everything and what traits pass on and such. But it'd be funny. XD
