I did as much research as I could lol Basically the premise of this tweet was to acknowledge who inspired DC character's design or character wise. Your free to add if you want
Superman // Jerry Siegel & Clark Gable
โ€ข
โ€ข
Jerry Siegel was the creator of Superman and designed some aspects of the character from himself. As you can see he looks a lot like Silver Age Superman. Clark Gable (known for "Gone in the Wind") inspired Superman's name: Clark.
Jessica Cruz // Penรฉlope Cruz
โ€ข
โ€ข
Jason Fabok took part in creating her original design and it's also noted that Penรฉlope Cruz was her main inspiration. Eventually, her design was scrapped because of Rebirth and Jim Lee had to use the design we all know and love.
Yara Flor // Suyane Moreira
โ€ข
โ€ข
Miss Flor is based upon the Brazilian model as it was confirmed by the artist Joรซlle Jones who will also be writing Yaras book in Future State comic coming out in January 2021 โค
Nubia // Beyoncรฉ
โ€ข
โ€ข
On Earth-23 it's known for having black counterparts to white heroes such as Superman and Wonder Woman. Grant Morrison confirmed that Nubia was based on Beyonce in said universe.
Carol Ferris // Elizabeth Taylor
โ€ข
โ€ข
Carol Ferris was inspired by the late actress Elizabeth Taylor known for her iconic role in "Cleopatra". Elizabeth Taylor was known for her blueish yet purplish eyes that inspired Carol's look.
Starfire // Marilyn Monroe, Naomi Campbell, & Iris Chacon
โ€ข
โ€ข
George Perez confirmed that Starfire was heavily influenced by Marilyn & Iris (especially Iris). Years later Rags Morales used Naomi Campbell as an influence for Star.
Hal Jordan // Paul Newman
โ€ข
โ€ข
In this thread, you'll see a lot of Lanterns because they were all pretty much based on old Hollywood celebrities. In this case, Hal was based on Paul Newman, later on, Paul would also be a basis for Ray Palmer- The Atom.
// I'm getting bored so I'll continue tomorrow this topic just really interested me so I was like why not?
