I Want My JLA Detroit

JLA Detroit

Sorting through the Fortress’ voluminous data files, the Keeper was surprised to learn the look of fabled DC heroine Gypsy was “borrowed” from Cyndi Lauper, who was riding high on the success of “She’s So Unusual” at that time.

Having no other life to speak of, your overly analytical Keeper wondered if the other characters in JLA Detroit were created to cash in on the popular musical styles of the day, updating an aged comic-book institution for the then-nascent MTV generation.

Vibe, of course, is firmly affiliated with the early days of hip-hop. In fact, with his dancing skills and baggy pants, he should have been a shoo-in to host “Yo, MTV Raps.”

Vixen, given her super-model status, probably listened to her share of house and/or dance music.

And Steel? Heavy metal of course!
