Ida, the creator of ANT, unfortunately has been VERY busy with college Chemistry (and in addition, she's one of two Danish representives to the World Cosplay Summit---details here) but though the art is mine, the dialogue is almost ALL hers. It was Ida who proposed this priceless bit of ANT-ese as ANT tries to pick a name for the team.
This reflects something we could never agree on. We could never come up with a NAME for our group. We batted around a hundred or so names. One we particularly liked was "The Crossoverlords" but that would be a better name for a VILLAIN group, than a hero group. So finally, we decided to name the series for the villain they're fighting, a la THE LORD OF THE RINGS, and give him a title--THE CROSSOVERLORD.
Some of the names we batted around you can see here, especially towards the bottom.
Would you like us to open a "Name that Team" forum thread? Have fun with it--WE have.
By the way, Mindmistress is appearing with another super-team, MAGELLAN, on GRAPHIC SMASH, starting here, just like Dasien is in the current run of HEROES UNITE.
Al has kind of a funny definition of "fun". We were ready to kill each other over the comic title and group name. As I recall, Al was the one who pitched "The Crossoverlords" as a hero team name. I believe the objection was that the term "overlord" seemed more fitting of a villain, and thus the adjustment was made.
