Lots of the characters I use are DC Comics characters. Some things about them I've changed to better fit my stories.

Ok, I know. I said I would post the first part of my next story and this isn't it...but I just got an idea from one of Elenya's posts! She posted about how her character changed into the character she has now (she hasn't fully finished the story, but still), and as I was reading it I thought of how Wolf Woman has definitely changed since I first thought her up. So, here's the background story on Wolf Woman:
Superheroes are a source of fun in my life. When with friends I tend to want to play Superhero games, I write Superhero stories, some of my friends and I have made Superhero trading cards (as well as a game to play with them), I still watch cartoons (even though I'm seventeen) but only Superhero ones like Teen Titans and X-Men Evolution (YouTube is amazing!). But it wasn't always this way. There was a time I really could have cared less about Superheroes. I guess my fascination with them started after I watched the old Batman movie (the 60s version, as at the time my parents wouldn't let me watch anything else) with some of my friends. After watching the movie, we were hyper (and probably 11 years old at the time) and so we decided to run around outside and pretend to be Superheroes.
My two younger sisters wanted to be good versions of Catwoman, and my best friend's younger brother made his own Hero: Duckman (he was probably nine at the time, give him a break...). That left me and my best friend to be the Villains. Our favorite animals were wolves, so we both decided to call ourselves the Wolf Women. Yes, you heard right. Wolf Woman started out as a bad-guy.
But that was just a game. It was fun, but it didn't mean anything to me. But whenever my best friend came over, we'd play that same game. And eventually, I decided I didn't like being the bad-guy...
By that time, I'd started getting into Superheroes more. That Batman movie was my favorite movie, and I watched it over and over again. My younger sister
Starlight liked drawing and got me into it and I soon started trying to draw Wolf Woman. Once I got her out on paper, I started thinking about her Superpowers.
Well, she was called Wolf Woman, so she had to have wolf-like abilities. Soon I'd given her super-sniffing abilities, a sonic howl, the ability to talk to dogs, super-hearing, strength (not super-strength like Superman, but more strength than a regular human), and a few gadgets, including the glove shield that she still has now.
She needed a SuperVillain. My favorite books at the time were the Julie of the Wolves trilogy, and in the last book there is a wolf that get infected with the rabies virus and dies of it. What better Villain for a wolf than a disease that kills wolves? So my first Villain for my Hero was Rabies. Soon after came Leo the Lion, but Rabies was the main Villain. And his main weapon was a gun that shot out a mind controling drug that would make Wolf Woman turn bad. After a while, though, she needed a way to get better, so I had her recite the Ten Commandments in order for her to remember what God said and to stop doing wrong things. Kinda cheesy, but there you go.
But I couldn't leave my best friend out of this. After all, she'd been a Wolf Woman along with me, so she needed a role in my new Hero's life. So I made her the sidekick: Coyote Girl. Yep.
I don't know when, but somewhere in this whole creation period, I got bored. So I stopped developing my character for a few months. But then I stayed the weekend at my two best guy friends' house...
We'd just watched...you guessed it, Batman (60s). And the boys wanted to play Superheroes. So I told them about my character, and they both made up their own characters. That's all we did all weekend, play Superheroes. And so, I got back into my Wolf Woman character.
At this time, I decided that my best friend should not my be sidekick. She should be her own Hero. So I made her White Wolf, Wolf Woman's partner. And then I got to thinking: shouldn't wolves be in a pack? So I made a whole group of Wolves: Wolf Woman, White Wolf, Wolf Man, Black Wolf, Wolf Girl, and Wolf Boy. And Red Wolf, but he was more of a loner, and so wasn't always with the main group.
And now you're thinking "Hey! She skipped Grey Wolf!" Nope. He came in later. See, at this point in time I started spending more time with my two best guy friends (my brothers, if you will), and one of them developed a bit of a crush on me...he'd been Animal Man before (he could talk to animals, as well as shape-shift into animals), but now he wanted in on my Wolf Pack. So he became Grey Wolf.
After a while, I decided that there were too many Wolves and not enough Villains. So I made up Poacher and the Leopard, and I got rid of most of the Wolf Pack. Now there were only Wolf Woman, White Wolf, Grey Wolf (who’d stopped having a crush on me by now, but still kept the new Hero), and eventually Wolf Girl when Wolf Woman had a daughter.
Then I decided that Wolf Woman’s alter-ego needed to be more developed. At first, she’d been an orphan, raised by wolves even since her parents were murdered when she was twelve. Enter Dick Grayson (Robin was my favorite Hero at the time). He convinced her to come back to civilization, and so she lived at Wayne Manor. I had no story about how she became Wolf Woman, but I developed Leonardo Drake’s character, making him be Julia’s friend until he…betrayed her. She was saved by Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon before she was hurt, and Leo went to prison for his crime (later I changed the story of Leo, because his betrayal was too big a step for him. He needed to get to being a Villain through smaller steps). But through this development, he became Wolf Woman’s main enemy, with Rabies taking more of a supporting Villain role (oh, and I’d gotten rid of the whole evil-turning drug + Ten Commandments thing by now). And speaking of getting rid of stuff…
I started liking the role of a Hero with no Superpowers. So I got rid of every single power Wolf Woman had had, and made her into an anti-hero (yes, I know that sounds like a bad-guy, but it means a Superhero with no powers, like Batman). And then I decided that the whole “raised-by-wolves” thing just wasn’t right for my character. So then I gave Julia her parents back, and eventually I gave her a sister: Cassandra (spoiler: who later became Wolf Girl, instead of Julia’s daughter becoming Wolf Girl).
And then, after a couple years of writing my stories about my totally reformed Hero, I added a twist to the story: Julia was actually a telepath. Once I finished the story of Raven’s conversion, I had her teaching Julia how to use her newfound powers (which don’t come until the end of my next story, btw.).
And recently I’ve made another twist to the story. But as it isn’t fully developed yet, you’ll have to wait to find out about it (it’s actually been slightly hinted at in the last part of How It All Started, and it will continue to be hinted at for all of the C.F.M.C., as well as the story I’m working on now. But it mostly likely won’t come to completion until my fourth story (which is all outlines right now…)).
Well, there you go. That’s how it really all started! And yes, next week I’ll REALLY have the first part of the C.F.M.C. up!
