    A minor nitpick, but since you like to write dialogue phonetically, I'm assuming that "F.E.M.A." instead of FEMA means that they're spelling out the letters. Maybe Paul would do that, if he's only ever seen it written before or that's what he considers proper, but in American English, FEMA is...

    Yes? I mean, at its heart, the superhero paradigm is about people declaring themselves righteous enough not to be bound by laws in their crusade to make society safe. At the point where you think that masked vigilantes breaking into offices to investigate and dangling people off of buildings...

    I don't know that that was ever true. She was certainly interested in him, but it was mostly one-sided, with him being oblivious until forced to notice it. The SI's self-image of himself is that he was twenty-nine years old at the start of the story, so even though he looks like a teenager and...

    Because the SI thinks Luthor is hot. Hasn't come up in a while because he's in a monogamous relationship, but early Paul came across as pretty strongly attracted to Lex. ... which, hey, fair enough. Attractive female villains seem to get a lot more opportunities for second chances, after all.

    I feel like it would make sense if Celestia couldn't explain why she was doing what she was doing. I'd buy that the steps to becoming an alicorn needed to be done for the right reasons, not with the ulterior motive of becoming an alicorn, at which point you can't really explain. That would be...

    On a societal level, it feels like planets going through expansionist/isolationist phases over the course of their history is a normal enough cycle that it doesn't really need a deep explanation. Honestly, Kryptonian politicians overreacting to the destruction of one of its moons and/or...

    Yeah... don't get hung up on this. All of the universes appear to be equally real and fictional in this multiverse. Paul has played Warhammer in the DC universe, and also there's versions of him in the Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy universes. That's actually kind of how the DC...

    Eh. I feel like a lot of discussions about alien battles are on the "the only purpose of battle is to win, and if you're not doing the most effective strategy to win, you're an idiot" level, which is kind of dumb. That's not a thing that even humans do. It's kind of like looking down on...

    Two of the major series antagonists were goa'uld that were thought dead thousands of years ago, and then just showed up again one day. SG1 also tripped over more than few goa'uld who were thought dead, but had either been imprisoned or just chilling in their sarcophagus. Defeated goa'uld...

    I'd be happy reading an entire story that was just this crossover. ;) Also, as a nitpick: Goa'uld hosts and ex-hosts have naquadah in their bloodstream, which is needed to activate any Goa'uld technology and also detectable by other people with naquadah in their bloodstream. That was a...

    So... am I the only one that was hearing Renegade's dialogue in the style of John McGinley from Office Space?

    Congress would just have to pass a bill changing the date for federal elections. Federal elections happen on the day they do because of a bill passed in the 1870s, so it's not like it changes frequently, but there's nothing stopping it from being changed if Congress wants to change it...

    Kind of. She was originally created as an Earth-2 character, a member of Infinity, Inc., which was basically the Teen Titans equivalent for the JSA. She was the daughter of the Golden Age WW and GA Steve Trevor; her husband (Hector Hall) was the son of the GA Hawkman and Hawkgirl, etc...

    Besides being the sister of Cluracan, the fairy who told the heroes what happened and asked them to find her, she's specifically a character from Sandman (tl;dr: Gifted to Dream by Titania, she fell in love with him, he was mildly fond of her, she screwed up and was unintentionally the reason he...

    If anyone's mentioned Aztek, I missed it, but he's the obvious one that springs to my mind if the Aztec pantheon is in play.
