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

No, it isn't.

 

Some wisdom along those regards.

It is sad how much of an explanation that name alone can be for why anything is bad.

Kinda like Constantine himself.

 

I'll have to disagree with your disagreement then.

To possess such an utterly massive ego, that you can insist that the author is wrong about facts that they themselves invented for their work, is impressive.

 

Well, it will be interesting to see what Zoat does here, I know what I'd have done.

Matrix, who merged with Linda Danvers, for those who have never heard of her, was an anti-kryptonian bioweapon created by Lex Luther. Her psychokinesis is powerful enough to knock out a kryptonian, her invisibility hides her even from kryptonian supersenses.

It was just the good, young Lex Luthor who built her to deal with evil Kryptonians in a pocket dimension.

Well, creating an anti-kryptonian bioweapon does sound like the kind of thing that Lex Luthor would do in most dimensions, yes?

Matrix was basically Alex Mercer with psychic powers instead of eating people. Well without a tendency to eat people, a few people got dissolved in Supergirl by the leftover sludge that couldn't fit in Linda Danver's body that held a grudge about the whole being left behind thing.

So I'd make her an escaped Lexcorp project that merged with Linda Danvers, keeping her origin as close as possible without going into the whole pocket dimension.

 

Huh. I would comment about angelic possession and silver city dicks, but this one probably has a legitimate reason for being so fucking angry.

 

He should really get in touch with the Silver City and see if he can arrange for some sort of announcement. The whole "heaven denounced Orange Lantern " thing is gonna keep biting him in the butt if they don't officially rescind it.

 

Cue self-righteous angel fused with unrepentant demon worshiper. Wonder why they went with Superman-chic as a costume? If Noriel is stuck, being put on the Team could be a way to keep an eye on her. Maybe the League could even get Zauriel to act as her minder or something.

 

Being stabbed to death is usually a good reason to be irritated, by my understanding.

 

He's not a heretic though, since he doesn't claim to be a Christian or any other monotheist. He's a Hellenistic pagan. You'd think an angel would be able to get the terms right.

 

Must be a lot of people impacted by the whole situation...

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

An age-old story.

Every time he does that, I picture either the Commander Shephard ear-tap or the Gadget-phone pose (thumb at the ear, pinkie at the mouth, the rest curled in.

In other words, solo mission time.

Well, that was easy...

Language, young lady.

And it all comes together...

And the demon magic thing didn't appear to be a bad thing to you, Miss Danvers?

Huh, like a female Etrigan, minus the literal switching places.

Look again, OL...

Not quite as impressive without the '1.1', narrative voice and different font...

Oh, boy...

You think? This is what happens when you don't research your weapons in intensive detail.

Interesting twist on the Earth Angel Supergirl. And I'm guessing someone else got to corrections before me. Joy of being stuck in a raid online.

 

Hmm, a walkin situation kind of like comics Hawkgirl perhaps?

Angel dies from Paul going stabbitystabstab, Linda was dying, Noriel makes themselves at home in the body, except oops, the soul wasn't gone completely yet, so now they timeshare in one body.

 

Hopefully the devout Christians of Earth 16 will be less antagonistic to Paul when there is video evidence of him fighting demons alongside an (former) angel.

 

I'm not sure if the angel was fused with a demon worshiper...I'm assuming that this if this is going to be close to the entire Earth Angel stuff, Linda Danvers wasn't actually part of the entire mess that caused everything.

 

Did Paul already forget that the Sword of the Fallen was unable to actually kill things?

 

This amuses me. You'll find out why in a couple of days.

 

Now I'm really excited for what's gonna happen in a couple of days. What could it be? Anti-OL religious fundamentalists? Praising him as some sort of Prophet? Bringing a new wave of tolerance to Christianity?

 

Welp, time to make...or remake...another angel!

 

No, Grayven probably still remembers it just fine. Paul has not found out that the sword's magic is supposed to do that, and to my memory, he is unaware of any instances of that happening aside from the First of the Fallen.

 

Huh. The sword doesn't kill things. It just reincarnates them..... Back to the non-magical world. As normies... Sorta?
This one is a voice in someone's head. Eh.

I HEARBY DUB THEEE "REVERSE TRUCK-KUN!" Your loss will forever be mourned!

 

Paul found out about it when he was told about the First returned to life as a human.

 

I think part of his confusion is the fact that Noriel wasn't reincarnated in a new mortal body but instead in the head of a still living person.

 

I don't remember what part that was in, can anyone get us a link to it?

 

Yeah, it's odd to me too. Presumably there will be a some exposition in the next update explaining why.

 

Paul: "did you die?"
Noriel: "sadly yes, but I lived!"

 

Clearly Reverse Truck-kun isn't perfect.

 

So. Not a superman costume. Just a fan t-shirt with a coordinated outfit most likely.

Noriel seems much more obnoxious compared to Matrix.

 

I take it you haven't heard of the concept of the walk-in?

Basically it was suggested that instead of waiting to be born to be reincarnated, a spirit will just move in when someone is done with their body, like a spiritual hermit crab kind of thing.

That was the origin of one of the more modern Hawkgirls, she wasn't a reincarnation of the Egyptian superheroine until she committed suicide as a teen and the spirit of Hawkgirl entered her body. Oddly enough, her mind apparently never noticed the difference, so finding out "Oh you aren't you, you died years ago and your great aunt made herself at home in your body" was a bit of a traumatic experience.

Presumably, that would also be how Vandal Savage's nemesis Immortal Man's reincarnation works. He reincarnates when killed, but he doesn't do the "getting born and going through diapers etc" thing, he just becomes a new person immediately.

Considering Linda's origin in the comics was Buzz murdering her with a knife, I'm assuming that is the kind of situation that Zoat is going for.

I might certainly be wrong though.

 

Monotheists are in many cases not good at acknowledging the validity of others' beliefs, and apparently this includes some DC angels.
