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

I also don't own a mobile phone even to this day, so it's fairly unlikely.

 

DEFINITELY want to see more of Earth-12 Paul, especially with some catty interactions with Earth-12 Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne!

Such a pity one of them is too obsessed with taking down Superman, and the other playing superhero, to lift mankind upwards to a Type I to II Civilization already!

 

Thank you, corrected.

Works for me.

Thank you, corrected.

No, I think that's alright.

Thank you, corrected.

Not sure what's being corrected here.

Thank you, corrected.

No, that's correct.

Thank you, corrected.

 

You're in luck then, as the next two story posts are both Earth-12.

 

I wonder if he could recruit Mad Mod before he goes villainous. He's a British technology genius.

If Peter knows about how social media ended up in the 2010s, he might actually try to combat it. Since he cares about uplifting humanity, creating a machine that exploits the addictive tendencies of human psychology for no productive end might look counterproductive.

He doesn't so much care about being a superhero as it is that he has certain ideas about how the world ought to be, combined with the ability to do something about it. (Which, to be fair, is actually more of a supervillain mindset...) He'd hate himself if he squandered his power and wealth on something meaningless, and "improving the world" is the most meaningful thing he can think of.

Fighting supervillains is... really more just maintenance work in pursuit of that task. Definitely not the goal in and of itself.

 

He's a capable chemical engineer, but I couldn't call him a genius.

Tempting...

 

Yay!

If the corporate adventures of Earth-12 Paul get their own extensive chapters like Renegade-Paul/Grayven has, here's hoping we'll see if he has anything planned for Alva Industries and the so-called "Quantum Vapor"...

 

Ah, disappointing, he's a lot more capable in the (non-Go) Teen Titans TV universe. (Not sure which universe number that is.)

 

This is right around the time (after ET but before the NES) when the west nearly collectively quit gaming.

 

I think you're off by around 11-13 years...

 

Not this one - that’s red Paul’s thing.

 

Yeah, checking it, you’re right. The N64 was released June 23, 1996, while the NES was released in 1983.

 

Well, the one Zoat linked to wasn't from this universe either.

 

Yes, but I mean red Paul is in the Teen Titans universe.

 

The indefinite article, specifically:

So I think this should be: 'Dox looks exceedingly tense for an instant'.

 

Ah. Thank you, corrected.

 

Is there any reason why Qwa tech isn't something that Paul has added to his repertoire? It seems like a useful thing, and Kalmin is totally fine with making it for him to use so...
The Darkstars/(Orange) Lantern Corps/LEGION should probably add a wing (or at least a way to incorporate) weird mutants, science experiments and champions into the force. People like Adam Blake who can fight on the level of a lantern are really useful, and far from *impossible* to find. Plus, they might help allievate Jevek's worries about the reliance on emotional stuff.
Hell, if Paul can get someone to make (or maybe it already does? *Shrug*) the Garrick formula work for aliens, then it might be possible to have an army of super speed soldiers that could be hugely useful in a ground war, and possibly even in space stuff if the garrrick formula works for flight speed of flying races and they can figure out an enviromental shield that is compatible with that.
Wonder if Paul plans on sparring with some of the controllers...
And I really do think Paul needs more of an ear to the ground regarding Controller super weapon projects, or at least ask about strategizing around the assets. The whole *point* of the steering commitee thing is to have a unified front between the different people facing the reach, and the controllers working on super soldier projects against the reach need to be included for the benefits of both parties.

 

Can you state some business uplift SI? Ran out of good reads...

 

I'd assume that if he does end up cultivating a relationship with the inventor of the cosmo rod, he could probably get himself made a personal set of that equipment for personal defense, and just incase he ever gets bitten with the superhero bug (Starman Redux or whatever). Because even though the inventor doesn't want his tech weaponized, he still uses it as a tool/weapon himself when he was a superhero. So not weaponized probably means exploited as a weapon on a large scale, not bespoke personal equipment for righteous face punching related activities, such as being prepared for any super villain kidnapping attempts (because you are a billionaire industrialist patron of super tech).

That is a rather large fuckup. And largely his fault for not investigating the patent trail or promoting native tech before dropping down an outside solution.

 

Isn’t Savage dead/ trapped after the alternate universe shenanigans with time Trapper Paul?

 

Honestly, I don't really think that the caveman profiting from the tech in the Paragon-verse substantially changes things. An immortal at his age should already have enough money that the profits won't really open up any options he didn't already have.

 

I still don't truly understand all of the shenanigans with Time Travel that happened during those episodes, but I think that since it was reversed to before Savage made the changes to the Timeline, in Savage's perspective just nothing happened and as such, after he returned to his time to notice no changes, he decided it was a bust and just went back to whatever disgusting things the cannibal/pedophile does in his own and/or Light time.

But again, I still don't really understand all that happened during the Mandate and its previous episode. Which I think is the point of Time Travel in any case.

 

Cant Peter/paul 12 recharge on starman tech?

 

based

there
(I'm assuming the sentence is referring to the USA.)

 

No. Peter is an organic human, and consuming significant quantities of electricity would be harmful to him.

He also can't recharge his ring with it, as the energy forms they use are totally different.

Thank you, corrected.

He's currently in the United States.

 

I can understand him not using the ring, but did he really go to meet Cheetah without some kind of defense? Does he have a secret Starman-tech forcefield or something?

 

...You think?

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Focus, Peter.

An African antelope? Interesting gift.

Some people would likely pay a lot of money to be in your place right now

Life's a gamble.

I'm not sure you'd want to know.

Ironically, Cheetahs and other large Felids do not have slit pupils. Guessing she cut the serum with a bit of housecat

Surprised she isn't triggering the Uncanny Valley reflex given the animal traits.

Ah, 'Peter', never change.

Her eyes narrow, and she makes a small shrug...

Company name, or just project name?

My company is based in Britain and I..

Especially ones who won't stab you in the back (possibly literally) when they tire of cooperation.

Spellcheck is pegging this as 'specialty', but American spellings...

Smart, smart man.

...and decided to take a chance… But just in case-."

Insurance is for people without the kind of money he has.

Ah, that explains why he didn't have an environmental shield when she grabbed him.

Missing a full stop.

Classy.

This just gets better and better. I'm not sure this would have made a great story on its own, just like most of the Alt-Pauls, but vignettes like this are great.

 

The green lantern ring can get a charge from static shock at least. It's part of jlu. It's likely energy inefficient, maybe enough energy to power continental America for a day is a percent of the powering?

 

No Mister Freeze?
