    Okay, offering to empower M'gann with a ring is not how I expected it to go down.
    I'm honestly curious about her response; I'd probably like to see her take it.

    New God Awakening still would be my first choice though.


    M'gann the Divine Burning Martian, the Savior Mars Needs!
    Act now, and recieve a complementary orange power ring attachment. :)

    M'gann on the orange light would be interesting to see. I'm still waiting for the Zatanna situation to fully show itself. I can see Zatanna spending some time on Zamaron, and becoming their new queen tbh. Especially if she gets let down by Paul.

    At this point either M'gann from the Paragon and Renegade timelines are so radically different from each other, let alone their canon analogue, that they're different people in every way that counts.

    While, in theory, M'gann could go off the deep end as per canon, I don't think it would happen remotely to the same extent given the kind of influence Grayven has exerted on her in regards to controlled and appropriate use of more extreme solutions. Even in the past scene, we can see her clearly not breaking down, but constructively considering her feelings about what she just did.

    What? What did it teach you? I mean didn't you just barely visit there once? You didn't actually grow up on apocalypse Paul.

    His limited contact with The World That Will Not Be Spelled had all sorts of lessons, and that's ignoring the database on the Father Box.

    It’s been explained that the main character now remembers having been Grayven before becoming Paul after being thrown between dimensions. He then became Grayven again after claiming to be Grayven. Whether this is true or false is yet to be explained. It could also be some form of mantling, where (like with the kid in DC who is basically Merlin), this story became true retroactively with the universe filling him in with both the memories and reality of having been Grayven, despite not necessarily having been Grayven before the author came up with it. He now has incomplete memories of growing up as a New God on Apocalipse for instance. Whether they actually happened is questionable, but he seems to (from the point of view of Ambush Bug at least) maybe actually have been both Grayven and Paul.

    Now just have to wonder whether or not this is just memories or a full cosmic retcon (this is DC so those can happen, what with the book of Destiny being able to change.)

    He might also just be possessed by the New God concept of conquest, which might give him Grayven’s memories since the real one used to be linked to it, making him essentially posssesed/ merging with conquest, replacing the real Grayven.

    Yeah, I think that both ParaMegan and ReneMegan would be outright horrified and disgusted by a lot of what canonMegan did, especially what she did to Conner.

    Paul/Grayven is mantling Conquest, and is conquering Grayven-Prime-16*. Fruits of that Conquest include but are not limited, Being the New God of Conquest, calling the New Goddess of Battered Wife Syndrome Mom, Daddy's approval, Kalabek's ire, memories of growing up on a death world almost as bad and no where as subtle as Earth, kicking starting Earth's ascension as the Fifth World and their for the Decline of Apoklipse and New g
    Genesis, Disassociate Identity Disorder, Monologing.


    *Renegade version of 16 that Powerring Blue(-14) will eventually smash into Paragon 16

    Technically true. Just because he didn't actually grow up there doesn't mean he didn't learn from the place.

    I'm not entirely certain that Grayven knows how to do this to a martian. Trying it on Mr Tawny was a stretch as it was, but he determined that Earth soul structures are compatible with the process. Mars's arcane presence is nowhere near as strong as Earth's, so while it's vaguely possible that there's a meaningful relationship between the soul structures across the Sol system, it's a leap with no concrete evidence.

    No, he stripped out the Guardian stuff, making her Red.

    It was mentioned that Earth based soul structures were compatible with the Awakening, hence why it worked on both Humans and Tigers, but there's been no mention of it working on Martians.

    His entire existence has been one unending stream of horrible choices that only work out because of author fiat.
