Okay, I know I have at least a few international people on my flist. This question is actually for all y'all, or anyone else that wants to weigh if you've got something to add.

I love DC comics (or at least, I love the DCU [current editorial and I aren't talking]), but some days the gaps in how the mythos is set up gets really exasperating, and I'd like some help figuring out how to fill in a particular set of those gaps.

Over in the 'Uncle Sam' corner of the DCU, we've got Uncle Sam and Columbia (at least currently. Billy Yank and whoever 'Bea was then, and Johnny Reb and Dixie... they went back to sleep a while back). The UK, they've got Britannia and have for a real long time (Canada too? Or do y'all Canadians have your own? for that matter, Australia?). France has Marianne, even if supposedly she's very weak. Russia has the Bear -- and Mother Russia, come on, DC, get it right, would you? Italy should have Italia (Roma Mater in a new guise), not that we saw that.

But, um. There's rather a lot more countries than that. So any of you from places not the USofA... What would yours be? (ETA for clarity: What would your national personification be? I can hunt wiki for DC heroes of various nations, I don't trust it for a second to get national mythologies right.)

Or, even if you are US based, anyone know enough other national mythologies to lend me a hand?

I had a few posts a few weeks back about Uncle Sam.

Due to kind souls, my household has a cbr copy.

Therefore paint.net and I have been working on icons.
















Have at!!

Just give me a little credit.







Apparently i wasn't done yet.

Or yet. 2 am and one more.

Title: We Hold These Truths
Word Count: 404
Fandom: DC comics
Character: Uncle Sam
Notes: First in a series, but hopefully entirely acceptable as a stand-alone.
All you really need to know is who Uncle Sam is, though mild familiarity with his incarnations would help.
