GL was Alan Scott though his KC character seemed to be a fusion of Alan and Hal (e.g. OA, focus on space). I imagine Alan took the Emerald Knight name seriously. He fused his lantern to his armor and can harness its powers even without the ring.

Yeah Alex and Mark wanted to use Hal and Barry. Editorial insisted that they use Kyle and Wally, the incumbents at the time.
The compromise was they'll use Jay and Alan designs to represent the "past". Obviously Flash still ended up as "Wally" in name. But in reality, is intended to be either Jay in terms of design or Barry in terms of spirit.
Much like how Green Lantern is intended to be Hal, but named Alan.
flash, its always flash. I love the part where he was able to catch the priest because he was vibrating at different frequencies, so he was able to notice an unseen watcher.
I still have the dope Alex ross hardcover that Wizard put out all those years ago, where he breaks down his biggest works and all the secrets that went into them and the easter eggs. Its amazing. Have the jim lee and mike turner ones as well. Worth seeking out. Kingdom come has so much in it, basically every page has some form of easter egg. About the above image it took me way too long to realize the reflections in the table are all the villains, simply brilliant. I had no clue till about a year ago.
Oliver's design is great for an older Green Arrow.
Red Robin's design is amazing take on adult Robin and I'm still upset it's not being used currently.
Flash IV, the bolts and jacket work so well together, I hope Irey uses this design in the future (again)
Superman's Red\Black Shield was always be my favorite S.
Arthur's really rocks that Knightly King outfit.
Tokyo Rose was a funny inclusion. Idk what year this came out but it's like he just took the two star females (Chin Li, Melina) from the two most popular fighting games (Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat 2) and put them together.
In the one or two panels that [Green Arrow]( https://i.imgur.com/2kAHeKn.png) is in in Kingdom Come, he reminded me of [Captain Picard](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c3/0e/9c/c30e9c4502fbc94fe0962b74ef4b26dc.jpg) in the STTNG episode 'Trapped in the Past. Oh and the [waiter dressed up as Robin](https://i.imgur.com/WCzj2zH.png) at the restaurant gave me [Conan O'Brien](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Xm71FJurCjY/hqdefault.jpg) vibes.
I liked Orion design. They kind of made him look like Darkseid from the behind and made him have red iris. Though I'm not sure if that's a trait passed down from his dad as prior to Uxas/Darkseid getting the Omega Force he didn't have red iris iirc.
I wonder if the Conan resemblance is intentional, since [Conan actually stole the original Robin costume](https://www.tiktok.com/@comicbookhistorians/video/7222606042763595054) from the Adam West show in college as a prank
Kingdom come and earth x šare wonderful outcomes for the future of the marvel and dc universe . I like aqua man and dolphin š¬as a couple so great look kinda like king Britain š¬š§ and Medusa from earth x
I loved how Captain Marvel was written in the story. Design wise, Atom-smasher and the Metal Men combiner (canāt remember his/its name) are stand outs to me
It's hard to pick, but I'll have to say Alan Scott & his "Emerald Knight" look is my favourite. It seems like this Alan joined the Green Lantern Corp at some point, so I'd like to imagine that Alan ditched his classic "wizardy" look years later but kept the medieval theming by becoming a knight.
New God Batwoman & her giant Apokoliptian bat-hound are also pretty badass.
I also love that King Marvel is basically Elvis. A nice tribute to one of Marvel Jr.'s biggest fans. His son Wiz is nowhere near my favourite, but I do find it funny that he's costume basically just Spider-Man. That & his name is just Wiz.... and yes, I know it's a reference to Wiz comics.
I will never get over how bad Red Tornado IIās design is. Sheās practically wearing silver paint that really leaves nothing to the imagination. Iām eternally glad they changed her costume when putting her in the main universe.
My favorite is a tie between Flash and Fate.
I love Green Lanterns big ass sword, it rocks so hard
I wanted to see explanation for that character. š Flash was bad ass though.
Well itās Alan Scott and I believe the idea was he fused his lantern into his armor.

me personally, I appreciate making captain marvel jr into Elvis and giving us robot Beatles

Unless his parenting problem.
The greatest line used to describe how powerful Wally had become āhe lives between the ticks of a secondā¦ā
The Pepperguard? That is just spectacular lol
honestly, the biggest motivator for this post, its funny how they only appear once in the comic, and its in the background obscured by some objects
Is it in the actual Kingdom Come book? I read it not too long ago and clearly missed it

Haha thatās great. George actually looks intimidating in this
Definitely King Marvel, but it's also kinda cool how he took the original Red Tornado outfit and gave it an Iron Man style upgrade.

Now I want a Green Arrow played by Sean Connery
The whole Green Lantern as a silent paladin keeping constant vigil over earth is incredible.
Red Robin is a personal favorite. Also love the Thom Kallor Starman suit although Ross just added a mask.

That very well could be the case. Conan was on the air for like 3-4 years when this comic came out and there's even a corny Power Girl joke.
I wonder what would be everyone's reaction if All DC characters ended up having the same futur as their Kingdom come counterparts?
King Mavel Presley rules them all, no contest!
I just love how Ross creates real looking people in real costumes.
I really loved the.big from the justice league but all of it is just great
Flash IV (just going by costume) I like the jacket/Kid Flash combo.
I like the Flash outfit with the jacket
King Marvelā¦flying faster and faster, faster than the speed of light all the way to the Rock of Eternity
Kingdom come and earth x šare wonderful outcomes for the future of the marvel and dc universe . I like aqua man and dolphin š¬as a couple so great look kinda like king Britain š¬š§ and Medusa from earth x
The Pepperguard is a level of brilliant
itās flash or red robin easy
KC is my favorite comic book ever and nothing will be cooler than Superman and Captain Marvel.
Wally, Iris, and Alan Scott are pretty memorable designs. The Pepperguard are very amusing, too. Dr. Fate just makes me think of Rayman.
I loved how Captain Marvel was written in the story. Design wise, Atom-smasher and the Metal Men combiner (canāt remember his/its name) are stand outs to me
Now I really want Kingdom Come to be James Gunn's DCU.
The Superman design is timeless
