    Two 'sane' men, in a mad, mad, world. Your opinion of Lex's sanity may vary... And also of OL's...

    Lex, run in circles by corporate marketing speak? Was Manga Khan that incomprehensible?

    Given that all his knowledge of humanity seems to come from the internet... I shudder at the thought.

    And that would mean having to explain to regular citizens why they're so hostile. Which would open them up to Slander lawsuits...

    OL really wants Lex to stop pretending he's not a supervillian, huh? Given how much it annoys him. Of course, that has its' drawbacks, like Lex running around in purple and green powered armour...

    Sort of a 'we may not be allowed to arrest you, but that doesn't mean we have to bother protecting you.' thing.

    Admittedly, I have the suspicion that he's simply in too deep to pull out now. Savage probably arranged for any manner of 'contract-breaking' punishments by way of Klarion... Who knows if such things are still active?

    To be fair, most of Lex's problems with Superman seem reasonable at first glance, like the whole 'encouraging complacency' thing. The problem is that he's taken it all too personally to think clearly about it... Truggs? Some assholes always trying to ice-skate uphill... Grand goal, poor execution.

    Unfortunately, when all your peers seem to be standing back and looking at you...

    Bit too much, Lex. That sort of thinking leads to things like participation trophies...

    ClusterCorp brings an alien lawsuit against the entities responsible? And we've seen how some alien cultures settle lawsuits...

    True. I'm sure Lex suspects the Watchtower exists, but the Kryptonian moonbase remnant? Not so much...

    Oooh... OL, wanna take that one?

    Lex, you do remember Lantern Mother of Mercy showing up? It wouldn't be his first go-round.

    Oh, dear... Chances of this turning out poorly?

    The problem is sustainability. Would you want to commit to doing it yourself, given all your other projects?

    Yes, good plan. Check first before leaping into action. Just look where that got Lex: in hock to a caveman up to his ginger eyebrows.

    Oh, boy. Likelihood of Lex throwing his oar into the situation? I can see him wanting to get a non-atlantean way to access magitech...

    Wouldn't want to pull something only to discover the Light was doing the same thing. Imagine the Xanatos Pileups...

    Interesting logical leap. Something Lex said, or he said to Lex, sinking into his subconscious?

    Rude, Manga Khan! Listening in to customer discussions like that...

    Unfortunately, that's on the list of approved activities...

    Ah... The same reason he picked neutral Antarctic territory? No clear claim of ownership by any government... But... He chose to drop into outback Australia, which isn't unclaimed...

    Caught out by a loophole. Manga Khan's going down Capone-style. Hmm... If he does sell something, how are they going to handle import duties?:sneaky:

    And now OL's motivated to, as he put it, 'fix it himself'. I have to wonder what he's planning, but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough... And with a time jump, that's a good chance to see another Paul's return to their universe.

    ...first contact with an alien corporation...

    Hm it is possible that the members of the Light need to give some kind of magic oath now when they join so as to not betray the group.

    Even if they don't have Klarion they still have other magic users and they may have Circe, assuming she's working for the group as a whole and not just partnered up with Truggs.

    That is Paul realising that he is the competent authority...and that he has the authority to administer Orange Lantern Corps discipline, as he explains to Lex immediately thereafter.

    He's decided to go for a con job. You know, somehow make Lord Comic King believe that competent authority actually exists in that universe.

    My jumped up elementals he looks like an aged porn star from the seventies.

    Odd question but is Paul going to meet him anytime in your story?

    His Prime/n52 counterpart isn't really any better

    Still the whole Channel 52 thing with him and Ambush Bug were hilarious and insightful.

    If that's formal eveningwear on his planet, why does she think informal clothing would be any better?

    He's likely disappointed that he has to take off the expensive jocks and put on something smaller.

    Let's not turn this into a contest to see which of us can find a more disgusting picture of him, please and thank you.

    This site may be more lenient on things like this than SB and SV, but there may be a limit.

    My pic had him with nipple rings. That is much more disturbing than him just wearing underwear.

    His look is based on Sean Connery as Zardox.

    I would just like to remind people that this thread is not in the NSFW section. That means that anything you say, and anything you post, is indexed by google and viewable by your grandmother. And there's no guarantee she's not getting off on it.

    Good for her,then.

    There are limits to what even a reality warper can do.

    So the exact position has something to do with League engagement protocols? Khan found some badly worded loophole?

    I think it's more the fact that he's landed in legitimately unclaimed territory (the two nations with the best potential claims each say that it belongs to the other), and thus isn't directly engaging with any local government in their territory.

    Unless somehow there's more than one, perish the thought.
