Elsewhere in Elseworlds

In this Elseworld, Raffi pitches four DC-themed What If stories!

The Green Huntsman
Oliver Queen was lucky enough to escape the island he was stranded on and come back to Star City with a quiver of skills. But THIS Oliver Queen is a bit different. A cruise line of America's richest men and women visits the island for a vacation away from the tabloids. But instead of finding leisure and fun, they find themselves hunted by a mysterious goateed archer who's out for their rich blood. Oliver Queen-the thought-dead heir to The Queen Fortune-thinks these people are threats to the island's ecosystem. So he fancies himself the cure to this disease. These unfortunate few include Mari McCabe, Bruce Wayne, Michael Holt,  Slade Wilson, and Dinah Lance. Can these men and women survive the traps, tools, and weapons used against them? Or will Star City's lost son pin their heads to his arrows?

Wonder Woman & The Power of DIANA!
Diana is the last Amazonian left on Earth, and within her she carries the power of the Greek Pantheon. In her last moments she summons a girl of pure heart, the most deserving young woman of the Amazonian mantle of Wonder Woman. This girl is Mary Batson, an orphaned street kid who makes her allowance selling papers on street corners with her friend Etta Candy. Mary is summoned by Diana who endows her with great power that will be acquired by screaming her name. With the Heart of Demeter, The Speed of Iris, The Skill of Artemis, The Strength of Nemesis, and The Wisdom of Athena, Mary grows into the adult heroine known as Wonder Woman! But with Diana dead, all of her enemies are unleashed onto the world. Ares The God of War, The Cheetah, Doctor Sivana, and Circe The Sorceress who mimics Wonder Woman's powers to turn herself into Black Wonder. It'll take a Goddess to save the world, but I guess the world have to settle for a Freshman.

The Currys
In our world, Arthur Curry is the superhero known as Aquaman and King of Atlantis. But in this world, Arthur is a proud father and husband. He and his wife Mera are an Atlantean-American family living on Amnesty Street with their son Garth, daughter Lorena, and youngest son Arthur Junior. They are also joined by Garth's girlfriend Tula and Arthur's uncle Valko. Like any modern family they face the normal difficulties like their neighbor David Manta trying to one-up Arthur in everything from lawn equipment to the best tasting chili. Arthur's snooty older brother Orm might come condescend the family, Lorena might end up dating David's son Kaldur, and maybe Mera runs into some gossiping Xebels from college. In this world, The Currys have to adjust to the society that doesn't understand them, a job market that has no room for Atlantean royalty, and the occasional giant sea monster who runs stray through the neighborhood.

Lantern PD
The seven Lantern Corps all represent a different emotion and tend to keep to themselves, but in this universe The Lantern Police Department protects all life with these seven colors all working together. The Green Lanterns still police the galaxy and are led by Commissioner Hal Jordan. The Red Lanterns are considered the SWAT team and are commanded by Chief Atrocitus. Agent Larfleeze is the LPD's only Orange Lantern and is in charge of the Cyber Crimes Devision. The Yellow Lanterns guard the prisons and are organized by Warden Sinestro. The Blue Lanterns and their Captain Walker run the Forensics Lab. The Indigo Lanterns-led by Doctor Munk-run a Criminal Rehabilitation center and act as Criminal Psychologists. And Lieutenant Carol Ferris runs a small Undercover Officers department. Together, the Lantern Police Department investigate a murder spree by a serial killer known as The Manhunter. They follow a drug called "Black Hand" which can reanimate corpses. And they fight to defend former Congressman Ganthet and prove him innocent of homicide. But will the egos of Jordan, Sinestro, Atrocitus, and Ferris get in the way of the job? It's crime noir meets sci-fi in this epic adventure.
Thanks for reading.
