User blog comment:Erockrule/New Characters Project UPDATE/@comment-3465526-20111227022903

If Orion were young (and bear in mind that some interpretations have him hundreds of years old) how would you get him to Earth? And what would he be doing here aside from stabbing everybody in sight while laughing about the ways of conflict? Until he became a follower of High Father he knew nothing but hostility, abuse, and chaos (and had no idea he was Darkseid's son). Plus, unless you're completely remaking the character relationships, he is a generation older than the Forever People (however long that is in God years). If you're changing that much about the character, why would you want to use the character? As Kirby said, writing in the "Jack Kirby tradition" means creating your own ENTIRELY NEW characters.
