Gingerbread Super-cookies December 2021

 I made these gingerbread DC Comics super-hero cookies December 2021.

It started with these 5--Dr. Fate, Green Lantern John Stewart, Aquaman, The Flash, & Vixen. I don't think there was any rhyme or reason to start, besides Dr. Fate being my favorite DC character & Aquaman my favorite founding Justice Leaguer.

Then, I decorated Amethyst, princess of Gemworld (because she's one of my favorites), and Green Arrow, by request of my housemate, Zach.

After starting with Katana in her last costume before DC's New 52 reboot (my favorite look for her), I couldn't resist just finishing the rest of the Outsiders teams, also with Looker in her last pre-New 52 costume, which I recognized as a modern update on her original costume. Halo was my favorite of this bunch to make. 

 The sister & brother duo, Jade & Obsidian, were next. Obsidian is my favorite gay male DC character.

DC's mistress of magic, and my favorite comic book heroine, Zatanna, was next up. I regretted not being able to include her top hat in some way, but I loved how I was able to articulate her gloved fingers & made her look like she's speaking one of her backwards spells too. I couldn't think of a great way to work in the fishnets, though.

I didn't think I could leave out her frequent magical partner, John Constantine, then.

And Wonder Woman when she's written well is usually among my most favorite super-heroines, and my 2nd favorite founding Justice Leaguer.

Those 3 made a great trio too, I thought.

And to continue with the mystical/magical theme there, I thought to include my favorite black DC character, the obscure Bloodwynd.

I wanted to show some love to the New Gods, too, and since all my remaining gingerbread cookies were the ones wearing dresses (or potential capes, for my purposes), I decided to decorate one of the very best, most enduring comics couples, Mr. Miracle II (Scott Free) and Big Barda.

Lastly, I paid respects DC's first black super-couple and DC's 2 first African-American super-heroes, Malcolm Duncan (as Herald here) and Bumblebee. 

And I find Hawk & Dove II (Dawn Granger) to be their closest counterparts as oft-forgotten members of the Titans roster, and I just like their designs and connection to the Lords of Order and Chaos.

Because I ran out of gingerbread people, this is what I ended up with at the end, along with some sugar cookie shirts & Christmas tree I decorated.
