  1. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    You know, every discussion of the Spectre starts out with the Spectre experts saying that of course his power level can vary between "slightly powerful ghost" and "God". But then if a fanfic ever dared use him in "sightly powerful ghost" mode, I get the feeling there would be endless...

    I think it's more that Darkseid wishes that were true, but it's not. He doesn't have Yuga Kahn's juice, no matter how much he'd like to convince everyone else he does.

  3. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    After all these years, the madlad Zoat decides to use the Spectre after all. Wow. I guess his imprisonment is what was creating the thaumosphere. Transferring the Spectre to another host is... not a great solution, but if there was a host who can keep it under control (or at least relatively...

    I sincerely doubt that long. Whatever is going on almost certainly arrived in the strike on the surface that left the impact crater, and that wasn't billions of years ago. What Hinon said: Now that's "recent past" by Hinon's standards, of course, but even for her that probably means...

    Earlier in this arc Persuader seemed to assume their relationship was a paternal one (the "complain to your Dad" remark) and now we have Grayven talking about "contrary to our current relationship", so that seems to be their opinion. What I see in the story though? Iname consistently addresses...

    It goes back to being genre savvy. Grayven knows that a secret that "no one knows" can have a way of coming out at the worst possible time in a universe full of mind-readers, soul readers, living incarnations of karmic justice, and the like. (Hey, remember the Crimson Avenger?) It's a minor...

    It's all something "some writer" made up. Which is trivially true, but I actually mean something specific here. There is a Superman editor who ensures that writers keep to whatever continuity DC has around Superman at the moment. Same for Batman. In general editors is supposed to look out...

    Look, it's not Renegade's fault if these people aren't paying attention to how their own religion works. He's not there to manage their afterlife expectations! And who is to say they aren't reunited with their loved ones in the Source anyway? They are welcome to assume that's what happens...

    Zoat doesn't kill off characters often, so 90% chance this is just another cliffhanger ending. But.... Persuader is a pretty minor character and not all that sympathetic. There is a chance here she actually dies. It would definitely add some stakes to things and prove these phantasms have...

    Course they had to turn off "invincible" mode and actually play the game at some point.

  11. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Iname is trying to figure things out, but not strongly committed to her conclusions. If new evidence arrives, she'll update her conclusions on the entity. Personally I like a character willing to engage in some theorizing. Even if she's wrong, she's at least got a model she can test the...

    This is really starting to seem like Black Mercy type effect. Mind controlling these three past their anti-mind-control would be difficult, but surely not as difficult as reshaping reality like clay while ignoring all their exotic defenses.

  13. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Before the attacks started, he wasn't doing it because he wanted to avoid attention. After the snake attacks them and Iname and Persuader disappear, he's taking a moment to think things through and try to puzzle out what's going on. Here near the end of Part 8, he's finished considering...

    First thought - Iname matches have to be pretty boring for the audience. Just a blur and then it's over. And would she be that interested? Second thought - Nah wait, she probably negotiated that she gets to do a concert as her victory prize. Gladiator idol, hell yeah.

    It's actually a Court Martian. That's why they had to take him to Mars, so they could carry it out under the law of the Red Planet!
