DCUC Wave 19 Revealed
DCUC Wave 19 STRIPE MTV Geek has an exclusive look at DCUC Wave 19! It is a JSA themed wave and MTV Geek was kind enough to pass on pictures and full bios of all the characters featured in this soon-to-be-released wave!!! Sandman: BIOGRAPHY The wealthy Wesley Dodds spent much of his youth in the Far East where he learned martial arts and the wisdom of the ancients. In adulthood, Wesley was tortured by prophetic dreams that inspired him to create a gas mask, gas gun, and costume. As the Sandman, he used his skills and social connections to fight crime, eventually becoming a founding member of the Justice Society of America and serving with the All-Star Squadron. STATISTICS FIRST APPEARANCE: ADVENTURE COMICS #40 (July 1939) REAL NAME: Wesley Dodds OCCUPATION: Socialite; crime fighter BASE OF OPERATIONS: New York City SPECIAL ABILITIES: Genius chemist and inventor; gas gun that emits a sleeping gas; “wirepoon” gun; speaks several languages The Atom: BIOGRAPHY Al Pratt was an unlikely choice for a boxer, much less a costumed crime fighter; however, the “98 pound weakling” and college student became an American hero. Devoid of super powers, Pratt nevertheless fought crime as The Atom and was a founding member of the Justice Society of America and All-Star Squadron. It wasn’t until he was exposed to radioactive elements that Pratt changed into a bona fide super-powered hero. STATISTICS FIRST APPEARANCE: ALL-AMERICAN COMICS #19 (October 1940) REAL NAME: Al Pratt OCCUPATION: Professor of Nuclear Physics BASE OF OPERATIONS: Calvin College SPECIAL ABILITIES: Skilled boxer; atomic strength and agility Hawkman: BIOGRAPHY During ancient Egypt’s 15th dynasty, Prince Khufu and his beloved Princess Chay-Ara discovered a downed spacecraft from the planet Thanagar. Exposure to the ship’s anti-gravity Nth Metal allowed Khufu and Chay-Ara to be reincarnated countless times throughout the ages to follow. In modern times, Khufu became the hero Hawkman, Chay-Ara reincarnated as his beloved Hawkgirl. STATISTICS FIRST APPEARANCE: FLASH COMICS #1 (January 1940) REAL NAME: Carter Hall OCCUPATION: Adventurer BASE OF OPERATIONS: St. Roch, Louisiana SPECIAL ABILITIES: Wing-maneuvered flight enabled by anti-gravity Nth Metal; wields a variety of ancient weapons; expert hand-to-hand combatant Lord Naga: BIOGRAPHY As an infant, Lord Naga and his conjoined twin were taken from their parents by the Cobra Cult of India. The cultists separated the twins and raised Lord Naga to be a brilliant and vicious international terrorist, with hopes that he would lead them through the Kali Yuga—the time of great chaos. He may not have super powers, but with his devious intelligence and ability to manipulate thousands, Lord Naga is one of the most dangerous villains ever to exist. STATISTICS FIRST APPEARANCE: KOBRA #1 (March 1976) REAL NAME: Lord Naga OCCUPATION: International terrorist BASE OF OPERATIONS: The Himalayas SPECIAL ABILITIES: Evil mastermind; expert combatant; wears bulletproof cobra costume Magog: BIOGRAPHY Lance Corporal David Reid already had the distinction of being a U.S. Marine and the great-grandson of Franklin D. Roosevelt before he touched the stone fragment that gave him plasma energy powers. While investigating the resurgence of the old God Gog, he was tragically killed by a military attack. Resurrected by Gog, given new powers and the name Magog, he became a devoted disciple. However, Magog eventually saw the evil in his master and heroically helped to destroy it. STATISTICS FIRST APPEARANCE: JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #18 (March 2008) REAL NAME: Lance Corporal David Reid OCCUPATION: Adventurer, former Lance Corporal of the U.S. Marine Corps BASE OF OPERATIONS: Unknown (??) SPECIAL ABILITIES: Projects focused energy beams from metallic left arm through staff; flight, enhanced strength and vision Stargirl: BIOGRAPHY Courtney Whitmore was a happy, all-American girl when her mother married Pat Dugan (formerly the hero Stripesy) and abruptly moved the family to Nebraska. Irritated by her new stepfather, Courtney found the Star Spangled Kid’s cosmic converter belt and decided to do some adventuring of her own. Dugan responded in kind by developing a robotic suit and accompanying her as S.T.R.I.P.E. Ultimately, Whitmore thrived in her new identity, becoming a principal member of the new JSA. STATISTICS FIRST APPEARANCE: STARS AND S.T.R.I.P.E. #0 (July 1999) REAL NAME: Courtney Whitmore OCCUPATION: High school student; adventurer BASE OF OPERATIONS: Blue Valley, Nebraska SPECIAL ABILITIES: Cosmic converter belt and cosmic rod make her superstrong, agile, and able to fly and project solar energy blasts. Collect & Connect S.T.R.I.P.E. This line looks great! I am loving Sandman and Lord Naga and C&C S.T.R.I.P.E. looks beyond cool! Very excited for this awesome theme wave! Thanks MTV Geek for sharing this big news with us! Last edited by Shin Densetsu; 05-31-2011 at 01:44 PM.. |

Been trying to avoid the DC figures and all, but dang it. They keep giving me more and more reason to buy.

I'll plan on getting the Carter Hall fig. Stargirl & Stripe are maybes for me at best, but that about does it. Hopefully that Stripe C&C figure pictured is only a prototype and the paint apps will surpass the quality of this mock-up.
I will admit I am the target demographic for Wave 18 so I will be happy with those figs and let others celebrate Wave 19, though this Wave 19 really could have used a Jay Garrick Flash fig. |

This will be the first wave of DCUC in a long time that I'll be looking to complete.

Nice use of Stel for most of Stripe. I'm thinking I'll get the Stargirl.

Okay so I know I'm probably just being too picky, but shouldn't Magog's pants and glove be black, not light blue? He just looks weird.

Yeah I have to agree that it would have been better with Jay Garrick, maybe he'll be in Wave 20 but I'm glad that I'll be able to expand the ranks of my JSA line up tremendously.

I noticed the STEL similarities too. I will probably pick up Sandman and Hawkman if I ever find them in person. They are really interesting molds, and I like the retro look of both of them.

I like this wave a lot, especially Magog, Stargirl and S.T.R.I.P.E. I am so pissed at myself for not owning every Mattel 'DC SuperHeroes' and every 'DC Universe Classics' figure ever made. This is one of best, most consistent toy runs ever.
