Of Ice and Men (Young Justice. Icicle Junior SI.)

What I'm using as my sources of inspiration: The Dreamstone is 3 different things in DC, I took bits of each origin for my own version. In one version, it's Dream of the Endless' and is split into 12 gems. In Wonder woman 1984, it was created by the Duke of Deception and granted monkey paw wishes. And the original version was Doctor Destiny's philosopher's stone version.

Sometimes the Duke of Deception is a roman god, sometimes he's a Martian one. Which is why I gave the Dreamstone a Martian origin.

The Martian's used to be sociopathic megolomaniacs with flaming heads. The Guardians transformed them into the Red/Green/White martians and gave them an innate fear of fire around 50'000-30'000 years ago. Vandal Savage is also 50'000 years old in Young Justice canon.

Vandal Savage encountered one of the only Burning Martians to survive the purging of Mars. It killed Vandals entire tribe over a few weeks (with only Vandal and I think it was 3 of his friends surviving out of hundreds.)

Gnarrk and Kole from the Teen titans cartoon.

MYCLIFF NOTES VERSION:

Spoiler

I made Gnarrk one of the Cro magnons who attacked Vandal the night he got his immortality. Gnarrk as the only survivor and "dead" Vandal floated away and couldn't find his way back. Gnarrk lived in the cavern with the shiny rock that talked(The Guardian inside trying to keep the Male and Female martian asleep.) The psychic energy combined with the Guardian's willpower to turn the asteroid prison into the dreamstone on the way to Earth.

It responded to Gnarrk's wish for family while he slept for years at a time in the cave (same metagene as Vandal Savage and is immortal.). And when Gnarrk woke up, he had 12 crystal friends who took turns singing a lullaby.

Knights arrived in the 8th century and started capturing the crystal kids. All but Kole got removed from the cavern and it woke up the female Martian. She killed most of the Knights and went East on a rampage. ONly the Ruby child was brought to Paris and turned into the philosophers stone.


The blonde girl is a Chaos Lord Child and hasn't revealed enough for me to share more.
