Vicki Earnhardt
I wanted to include in the Titan series a character that would let readers look at Titan through an outside perspective. A character that would show how Titan is being viewed by the public of Delta City. Obviously the opinions of Michael and Carly will be somewhat biased and one sided. In the end I ended up with two such characters, Police Chief Thomas Ross and reporter Vicki Earnhardt. My attempt wit these two was to look at Titan, or any superhero really, objectively. Both acknowledge that essentially Titan himself is a criminal, which of course he is by committing vigilante acts, but seem also unsure of his motives as though that is was matters most in deciding if he is ultimately good or bad. I always found that interesting in comics how this subject of vigilantism gets handled. From my experience it has only really been handled by two and they are Batman and even more so Spider-Man. By having two characters to pass outside judgement on Titan we seem to get the complete view. Vicki is interested in a great scoop first and foremost, she just needs to know for herself how she truly feel s about this vigilante, Titan. Chief Ross on the other hand looks to the letter of the law and sees that laws are being broken and how does he feel about that in regards to Titan. Does he divert time and energy to go after Titan or deal with more pressing matters such as a Mr. Midnight. Of course Titan only comes in to direct contact with one of these character, Vicki.
