Easy

Green Kryptonite takes away his powers. Apply tattoo. Remove Kryptonite.

Heck, use a Kryptonite needle.

Christ, it's been almost 20 farking years and that jerk STILL can't draw human anatomy. Okay, there are feet and a refreshing lack of pouches, but what the hell is going on with Dove's torso? It looks like her left breast coming out of her armpit. And her hips have her charging to the right but the rest of her body is going left. WTF?

How do you think he became legendary? It's not from his good art. It's from his inaccurate physiology.

Isn't kryptonite a rocklike mineral? How does one make a needle out of a rock that can also accurate lay ink?

Noooooooooooooooooo!

I'm stuck on Hawk's anatomy...

He looks like he's throwing his hands up in despair and not "lunging forward".
His left hand is much larger than his right.
The left part of his torso/back is seriously malformed.
His head is about two sizes two small.
Why does he have fangs?
The cape/wings/wtf they are are attached much lower on the left side than on the right.

Dove is even worse -- the armpit boob is particularly noteworthy.
Also, her left arm is positioned in an impossible manner. Her upper arm must have been amputated and her forearm attached to her torso.

I'm a terrible artist, but even I wouldn't try passing this crap off as "professional" and I would like to think that after YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY I'd be able to a handle on basic anatomy. If you're that bad, do the Alex Ross approach -- take some photos and use them as reference.

All I know is that Hawk and Dove have gotten the shaft for years at DC - it's only appropriate that Liefeld is doing the art.

IIRC, the claim was that he "traced" from porn.

Red sun laser-beam. That's not a tat, it's a burn.

His back makes me laugh. Follow the line up from his right hip (our left).

Also, the index fingers are longer than the middle fingers, and fingers on both hands are of varying lengths.

UGH...can't believe he still gets work.

I say this is a marked improvement for Liefield. Another thirty years or so and he may show some real promise.

Holy shiat, I just noticed... THEY HAVE FEET!!!

It was the first thing I noticed. I was ready to call bullshiat on Liefield being the artist just because they did have feet, the correct number, each, and more or less in the correct position and in proportion relative to the legs. More or less.

Yeah, any amount of phlebotonium could give Superboy a tattoo, I reserve my "BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!" for referring to working with Rob Liefield with enthusiasm.

How to give kryptonians a tattoo: deprive them of yellow sunlight for probably something like a few days. Then give the tattoo. Ta dah.

Wouldn't that tattoo be a bit of a giveaway of the old secret identity? Or does Clark never bare his arms?

Phaeon: How to give kryptonians a tattoo: deprive them of yellow sunlight for probably something like a few days. Then give the tattoo. Ta dah.

Red Sunlight. Takes away their powers.

These characters look extreme to the max...

It looks like the current clone Superboy with a twist. If it is he is a clone of Superman and Lex Luthor so he is much weeker then the original, with receding hairline.

FirstNationalBastard : Holy shiat, I just noticed... THEY HAVE FEET!!!

Even more amazing- NO POUCHES!

Liefail still draws dudes that use more steriods than the whole WWE and women with a boob :: body ratio that makes Barbie seem like Raggedy Ann by comparison.

You know, I never thought I'd be glad for the endless parade of major crossovers and universe-wide reboots. But at this point, that particular form of crass commercialism seems to be the only silver lining here: it'll all be undone in two years at most. Maybe even less.

The same reason Superman's foster mom could cut and sew his impervious super-baby-blanket into a costume...

TrekerDave: Wouldn't that tattoo be a bit of a giveaway of the old secret identity? Or does Clark never bare his arms?

At least once.

I was never a fan of DC, but isn't this like the 5th time they've rebooted everything, and doesn't that ALWAYS screw continuity up for years afterwards?

maverickzy: TrekerDave: Wouldn't that tattoo be a bit of a giveaway of the old secret identity? Or does Clark never bare his arms?

At least once.

The tatto is one of those water based press on's that kids use and washes off.

at least it isn't a hello kitty tat

maverickzy: Isn't kryptonite a rocklike mineral? How does one make a needle out of a rock that can also accurate lay ink?

Micro-machined using heat vision, from a safe distance.

Duh.

vartian: Seven heroes from the 31st century have traveled back to the present day. Their mission: Save their future from total annihilation.

Does every farking reboot have to start with time travel and a warning from the future?

You're thinking of J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek"?

They use that on surface ink the cabala and hippies use. He has batgirl apply it while poison ivy's daughter does his toe nails.

Will Wonder Woman go back to heavy bondage and submission story lines?

She better not lose the star spangled panties.

SpectroBoy: maverickzy: Isn't kryptonite a rocklike mineral? How does one make a needle out of a rock that can also accurate lay ink?

Duh.

Wait, heat-vision works on kryptonite? Why... what.... how do Superman?

Sybarite: So, they're pretty much bringing Black Lighting and giving him his own title? Somehow it's just not the same without the wide lapels and plunging neckline.

You're posting in a comics thread in the Geek tab, and you've never heard of Static Shock?

You're talking about Static? Different guy there, not quite as old school as Black Lightning. I used to collect Static comics back in the day.

maverickzy: TrekerDave: Wouldn't that tattoo be a bit of a giveaway of the old secret identity? Or does Clark never bare his arms?

He's not Clark - Superboy is secretly Conner Kent, a clone of the original Superman (at least he was - who know what the reboot will do).

But you make a good point.

Gonad the Ballbarian: The same reason Superman's foster mom could cut and sew his impervious super-baby-blanket into a costume...

Actually, she didn't. Originally, his costume was woven from thread Superboy provided by unraveling his blankets with his heat vision. John Byrne's reboot established that his costume is regular cloth, but Superman himself projects a force field very near his body that protects his costume (but not his cape). This was used to justify the fact that a dowdy middle-America rural housewife created for her son a garish, decidedly immodest skin-tight costume (with the underwear on the outside, no less).

/Why yes, I am something of a geek. Why do you ask?

You think this tattoo is bad, wait til you see Superboy's tramp stamp.

How does superman shave and cut his hair? Heat vision off a mirror can't be that accurate.

Speaking of Superboy. According to some very reputable sources on the internet, under the guise of John Newton, Superboy mated with earth woman Kate McCallister to produce child star Macaulay Culkin.
