Black Robe can be said to be one of the more popular anti-superhero-themed American dramas recently. In addition to the scale and excitement, the action design, storyline and special effects of the drama can all be called... Top notch in American dramas.
The Black Robe Picket stands out among many American dramas for not only the reasons mentioned above, but also for the Walt Seven, who have distinct personalities and different abilities.
The abilities and appearance designs of these superheroes are without hesitation the reference to characters of the same type as DC and Marvel . Although these elements are presented in a very ironic tone in the play, but when watching these The shadows of the superhero prototypes they represent can still be seen in every move of the characters.
Now let the author take you to take stock of the corresponding character prototypes of the Walt Seven.
Homelander - Superman
As the most important role in the black robe pickets, the prototype of the role of Homelander is undoubtedly Superman, with the same blue tights, red cape, same red laser eyes and indestructible body.
The biggest difference between the two may be the psychological difference. The people of the motherland are test-tube babies . They were raised as the ultimate weapon of the Watt Company since childhood. Tortured by the shadow of childhood, the mentality of the people of the motherland is sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy, and the psychological abnormality is serious. In the latest period, There is even a dual personality of and in the concentration. As for Superman was raised by earthling parents, he is mentally healthier, has a higher moral standard, and has a more mature personality than the people of his motherland.
In addition, Superman's settings are too powerful, so there are kryptonite settings to restrict Superman. At present, it is not certain whether there are substances or weapons in the Black Robe Pickets drama that can specifically target the people of the motherland. Although in the comics, the only nemesis of the motherland is black.
Locomotive - The Flash
Locomotive is known for his speed among the black robe pickets and is known as the fastest person in the show. This setting obviously corresponds to the Flash in DC's Justice League. However, the locomotive's appearance design also refers to elements of other characters, such as the cool goggles, which are based on the Falcon, Captain America's good partner in the Marvel universe.
Although the locomotive can run as fast as a racing car, even so fast that it directly ran through Xiu Yi's old girlfriend Robin in the first season, his speed is still dwarfed by the Flash. In the setting of the DC universe, the Flash can be so fast that he can travel through time and space and across multiple universes.
Queen Maeve - Wonder Woman
Queen Maeve's appearance design is very "Amazonian", and the obvious corresponding prototype is Wonder Woman. Queen Maeve, like Wonder Woman, has great strength and excellent ability to resist blows.
However, although her abilities are the same, Queen Maeve does not have the two most critical artifacts of Wonder Woman - the golden mantra lasso and the invisible jet vehicle. This makes her performance in the play far inferior to that of Wonder Woman. So "magical", his ability to use swords and other medieval weapons is not outstanding among the perverted superhumans in the black robe pickets.
The only special thing about Queen Maeve is that she is the more conscientious superhero in the series and has good intentions towards the protagonists. Although it is revealed in the new episode that her life and death are unknown so far, according to the news revealed by the crew, Queen Maeve will probably have a good ending.
Black - Batman
Black has always been very mysterious among the black robe pickets, resulting in not much information about him so far. Although he is set as a black man, judging from his good use of physical skills, darts and long knives, his poor speech skills, and his dark tight-fitting costume, the prototype of the superhero corresponding to black should be Batman in DC comics .
In the battle against super terrorists in the second season, we witnessed the terror of Black's character. Faced with an explosion that could blow up the entire house, Black remained unscathed.Because Black never spoke while wearing a hood except for the period of blood debt repayment, it makes people feel that this super human is very much like a killing machine .
After learning about the soldier boy, Black escaped, but his whereabouts are unknown. If Black goes to Edgar to increase his strength, then the plot in the comics is likely to happen in the series, that is, Black gains strength stronger than the people of the motherland and eventually kills the people of the motherland.
Starlight - Supergirl
Starlight's appearance design references elements of many other superheroes, but the image and traits of this girl-next-door with superhuman abilities are clearly based on Supergirl from the DC Arrowverse. At the same time, the "Star" in Starlight also makes this character very similar to Stargirl ( Stargirl) in another DC work.
In the Walt Seven, Starlight’s ability is honestly not very powerful. In the show, is nothing more than using her ability to push people and electrify cars. is far behind the prototype Super Girl and Stargirl. . Fortunately, Xingguang is very close to the protagonist group because of his relationship with Xiu Yi. Compared with the ordinary people in the protagonist group, Xingguang's strength is much stronger.
Deep Sea - Neptune
The ability to communicate with marine life. To be honest, only Deep Sea and Neptune can possess such a unique super power. But although Deep Sea's abilities in this aspect are comparable to those of Neptune, its abilities in other aspects cannot be complimented.
Aquaman is still the King of the Seven Seas and the Guardian of Atlantis. While commanding a group of marines, he also has a bunch of powerful enemies. In addition to intimate communication with marine life in the deep sea, the only thing left is to kneel and lick the motherland.
In comparison, comparing Deep Sea with Neptune is a bit insulting to Neptune.
The Invisible Man - The Invisible Man/Invisible Woman
The already cool Invisible Man can be said to be the most bizarre character in this introduction, because his original character prototype actually came from a 1933 movie of the same name. In the original comics, the invisible man's position in the Seven is actually Jack from Jupiter (the prototype is based on Martian Manhunter in the DC universe). It may be because the seventh person of the Seven is always a soy sauce. This character's role in the show was changed to an invisible man, and sure enough, he was killed within a few episodes of the first season.
The Invisible Man's invisibility comes from his carbon fiber skin, and he can't make the clothes he wears as invisible as him. If we really want to find a prototype in the comics, the Invisible Woman in the Fantastic Four has similar abilities to him.
