The G-52s as a Media Franchise
Question: Although the G-52s are a real superhero team, why do they also exist as a media franchise?
Answer: Super C and the organization gave permission to various retailers and entities of different types to turn them into a media franchise, although given the diversity and huge amount of G-52s, not all of them appear in these things. The majority of G-52s that appear are the American G-52s, which represents the organization's nation of origin, the United States of America (though not all of them are involved). The British G-52s, however, also appear in some of these things.
Note that if the G-52s were involved in a Saturday morning cartoon (or other cartoon), a video game, or a series of comic books, the reality of that setting is intentionally made different than the reality of the real world. This caused some confusion and conspiracy theories at first, but CNG began punishing those who started to spread rumors and not distinguish fantasy from reality; it did this depending on the individual involved. It either permanently turned humans into animals, put them into a financial crisis they couldn't get out of, or worst of all, ensure they get an electric shock every time they have an impure or unclean thought according to how the Bible judges it. (Not all of the people who had this happen to them died, however.)
Because of this, the Quarrelsome Quartet (Bendraqi's organization) continues to act as the main group of villains for the purposes of good storytelling. The real Bendraqi, the only survivor, had only recently said, "It doesn't stem any arguments from me because you're basing this off the old version of me, and your depictions of my ex-colleagues are 100% accurate. The real fourth member, however, died in absentia, having gone missing for so long, so you had to settle for making up a character, but you still got it down to the last detail." As of 2019, the writers now consult with Bendraqi if they wish to use one of his old weapons for a storyline.
Thus, the media franchise of the G-52s is set in an alternate universe.
Here are some more tidbits about this franchise:
1. The first endorsement ever done was in men's clothing; Super C appeared in various poses, either striking a heroic superhero pose, or givng a military salute, for example, all of which also had the Old Glory behind him. (Other versions of these t-shirts do not have the flag.)
2. All media portrayls portray each of the G-52s as a solo hero in a separate universe.
3. The first television cartoon was the aptly named "The Adventures of SuperCat," portraying the Cat of Steel as an invincible hero that could do nothing wrong. D.W. (Danger Woman), in her role as mild-mannered Jennifer McCartney, was the damsel in distress, with Jerry J. Godllub (the twisted twin brother bulldog of Barry J. Godllub). The real Jennifer is a celebrated superhero and supercross champion in her own right, and has no issues defending herself. The fictional Jennifer in this program, however, in a similar manner to Pearl Pureheart needing Mighty Mouse's help, finds herself in a variety of situations from different time periods, since there is little to no continuity.
4. Various voice actors are hired to do the voices of the heroes and villains. Although it doesn't always result in an exact match, each voice actor doing the voice of a superhero often consults with the real hero for advice on how to do the voice. The only exception is Cripto, who voices himself in the various media.
5. The Marching Wonder, by contrast, is a supporting character in a popular Japanese anime entitled "Mystical Monarchy," with his friends Blue and Pink of the Toppet Kingdom in the title roles. The episodes are based on the real Blue and Pink's adventures with the celebrated drum major tiger.
6. Leo the Patriotic Lion and Tom the Patriotic Tiger are two examples of G-52s who never appear in these comics, shows, or games. Both are seen by the public as "national sacred treasures that should never be touched;" to put them in a media portrayl like this would be disrepsectful to the two. Their superhero counterparts, Super Leo and Super Tom, however, are portrayed in some of these, although as a duo who work together. This allows the writers to employ the use of their star-spangled blast attacks, and their tornado-style attack known as a "Swango."
There is one exception (see below).
7. This franchise does not include the times a G-52 hosts a television game show.
8. The real Jaguar of Justice employs a staff to work on some of the comics he writes; one of them portrays an alternate superhero organization in an alternate universe. The organization is ILSHA (International League of Super-Heroic Animals), with Camoflague Cat as the commanding officer.
9. All portrayls of Cripto use an exaggerated version of his old bully-turned-enemy, Louis the Merciless.
10. All portrayls of the Avenger, a.k.a. the Rodent of Righteousness, still use his former enemy, Dr. Lava, as the main antagonist. (The real Dr. Lava has turned over a new leaf.)
11. All portrayls of Captain Cripton pit him against an entirely fictional enemy, the Fragmentizor (who attempts to destroy buildings and property by causing earthquakes).
12. All portrayls of Firefox pit him against a twisted version of the Glaswegian Devils. Similar to Bendraqi, the writers consult the real Mr. L and his Devils to keep certain parts of the story accurate.
13. All portrayls of Warwolf do not feature a regular enemy, but rather see him batling
14. Special crossover stories involve certain hero team-ups with nicknames; these nicknames later carried over to the real G-52s. For this reason, the subgroup of Captain C, Firefox, and Warwolf is known as the "Thrilling Three," while Crush, Cripto, and T2 are the "Triple Threat."
15. All portrayls of Grease pit him against an entirely fictional female enemy, Gravita. She attempts to conquer the world by messing with the laws of gravity.
16. Crush and T2 do not have their own solo stories; they usually just appear when a necessary team-up with Cripto occurs.
17. All video games involving the G-52s are always rated E for Everyone, and never a higher rating.
18. There is one official G-52 pinball machine, which has the real G-52s contributing their voices to the machine. This is the one and only time so far Leo the Patriotic Lion has contributed a voice-over to the franchise. There are eight total G-52s involved (Super C, Leo, Cripto, D.W., Thunder Fox, Super Slash, Crush, and T2), and each one has a mission that needs to be completed, earning the player a jackpot when doing so (and sometimes a super jackpot). The player has to complete all eight to unlock the final battle, where Bendraqi attacks; the player wins the mega jackpot if done successfully.
The machine was made in 2019, so it was before Leo was elected President.
19. Jake the Patriotic Jaguar does not appear in the franchise.
20. Payton the Patriotic Eagle does not appear in the franchise.
21. Allies to the G-52s, such as the UN1024 Squadron, do not appear in this franchise. (This doesn't count the fact the real Cripto is employed as a UN1024 as well as a G-52, and on a separate note, the D-19.)
22. The canon characters of "Cripto's army" do not appear in the franchise.
23. Outrageous Otter is the latest G-52 to be added to the franchise; the comic book series starring him debuted in February of 2020.
24. The Jaguar of Justice also draws the comic book that stars himself. His enemy in that comic, "The Amazing Anteater," is a wannabe superhero who was rejected for his arrogant attitude, and wants revenge on the world as a result.
25. The former circus performers of COTS (Circus of the Superstars) do not appear in the franchise.
26. In the 1980s, D.W. was given her own animated series, which ran until 1993. The series was the first to portray her as a proper superhero, instead of the damsel-in-distress role she had before. Coinciding with the final season was a one-season revival entitled "The New Adventures of SuperCat," which focused solely on the Cat of Steel. The two cartoons aired back-to-back in a syndication block.
