The obvious answer here is that we need Cyclops/Hawkman slash. The complexities of their respective backgrounds can then cancel each other out, leaving us with some nice simple yaoi.

Creepy Stalker JLU Hawkman or Constantly Revised DC Hawkman?

I was thinking of the print version.

Okay, so which print version? :)

Didn't the poor guy get retconned more often than the Legion?

Yes, that's the point. His revisions complement Scott's time trips and multiplying incarnations of Jean, you see. It's like stuffing one Escher scene inside another to produce a plain geometric solid.

Er, so to speak.

So this is really a metatextual commentary on the inherent instability of characters presented in serial storytelling.

Well, duh!

It's an interesting literary device that counterpoints the underlying metaphor of the humanity of the writer's soul.

It problematizes the underlying dualism of post-hetero inter-personistic interaction, in the context of reifying the rhizomic infrapersonal, and yet ultrapersonal, nature of the boytoys.
