Heh :)

	Of course, there had been a few things Mousse wasn't 
exactly overjoyed with.  For one thing, he wasn't too sure about his 
new name.  'Mousse Wayne' had sort of a funny ring to it, but 

Heh :)

	In the safety of his own dwelling, a truly bizarre change 
began to overtake Tofu's body.  His skin darkened to a dull green 
as his build grew taller and more muscular.  His eyes darkened to 
pure red orbs as his hair vanished and a brow ridge protruded from 
his forehead.  Abandoning his human facade, Tofu had reclaimed 
his true martian form.

Heh.  Cute :)

He thought Black Adam wouldn't abuse his abilities too :)

Author's notes:  In case you didn't get it, I was trying to meld the 
Ranma cast with members of the Justice League of America, 
published by DC comics.
Ranma= Superman
Ranko= Flash

I think you'd be better served not having a Ranko since you did curse
Ranma, and having Gosunkugi accidentally turn himself into the Flash while
trying to gain Akane's love with some goofy magic thing.  
  

Although Gos would also make an amusing Dr. Fate :)  Or maybe the Atom.
No one notices him anyway :)

 > Kuno= Green Lantern

Hopefully, he'll eventually start doing something besides making big green
bokkens with his abilities :)

Akane= Green Arrow

No Green Arrow/Green Lantern teamups in THIS universe, I guess.

Mousse= Batman
Dr. Tofu= Martian Manhunter
Shampoo= Wonder Woman (amazon princess=amazon princess)

And Streaky the Supercat too! :)

Ryoga= Captain Marvel
Ukyou= Aquaman

This sorta works, but I think it would be better to have Aquaman suffer a
Jusenkyo curse :)

Since you've got Ranma and Ranko, you might want to lose Ranma's curse,
and give Ukyou the Jusenkyo curse somehow, since she'll be getting wet
more often, anyway.  That way Ukyou could LITERALLY be Aquaman :)


You need Black Canary, since she was one of the founding Leaguers.
Unless you use Kodachi, I'm not sure who else would work here.  (Maybe
Kasumi?  She's not violent enough, but she can sing :))

A Robin for Mousse would be good, but I'm not sure who...


So, I'd suggest:
Kodachi = Black Canary (Not perfect, but at least she's athletic :))
Nabiki  = Maxwell Lord :)
Gos.    = Doctor Fate (The original one, who put on the Helmet)

For a twisted version, you could use the JM DeMatteis Fate who was two
people who merge into one fate and have Gos and Kasumi :)

I know some may be disappointed not to see Green Spatula, but I 
think Aquaman worked better for Ukyou here.  Besides, it's much 
cooler with arrows.

I find the idea of Gadget Spatulas quite appealing :)

The problem is, I'm not sure where to go from here.  Who should I 
have them fight?  How should I develop the relationships?  

Well, since you've put most of the Usual antagonists on the side of
good...how about taking the cast of say...Urusei Yatsura and turning them
into a group of supervillian antagonists for your heroines and heroes?

You could have:
Mendo Shutaro = Lex Luthor
Ataru Moroboshi = Sinestro (I shudder to think of Ataru with a power ring)
Shinobu Miyaki = Blockbuster (Or an evil Rampage :))
Ran = Poison Ivy (or Possibly Killer Frost.  They can both kill with a
                  kiss)
Oyuki = Mr. Freeze
Lum = Cheetah (I know Cheetah doesn't do lightning, but the tiger stripes 
               inspired me.  I can't think of any DC villians who do
               lightning except Weather Wizard.)

Mr. Mujaki = Mr. Mxytzylplk

Assuming Ranko is gay (and you can), should I pair her with 
Nabiki, Shampoo, another female character, or leave her to her 
girlfriend Linda Park?

Since she's living in Japan, her friend probably should have a Japanese
name, or at least a japanese version of her name, like Linna <Whatever is
'Park' in Japanese>

He just holds his breath.  His race isn't aquatic :P  If you make them
innate Jusenkyoites...ooh, there's an idea!  Instead of Kryptonite, you
could have 'Jusenkyoite', which in various varieties could cause different
kinds of 'Jusenkyo curses'.  Perhaps some fragments crashed at the pools
of Jusenkyo and that's the real reason it confers the curses.
