    Literal cases of Blessed With Suck, eh? Hopefully OL can take steps to lessen that down the line.

    Focus, OL. Plans first, research later.

    Imagine how awkward even broaching the subject would be... "Honey, you remember that.. 'business trip' a while back?"

    :p :D

    Nice cover. He's no dummy.

    Ah, dancing round a touchy subject at least one party listening doesn't know about... I see that a lot in Puella Magi Adfligo Systema...

    Whatever helps to justify something to your sense of Avarice. Indigo would do it so much easier... And I hope whoever did the deed got theirs...

    Ooh, wonder how he'd even explain that. That would take some fast talking...

    Now to make sure he doesn't...

    Calculating probable outcomes? I wouldn't be surprised to find he's got a quite good predictive engine in there.
    Correction: Mismatch of quantity. Perhaps 'eyes flicker'?

    More a mix of wanting to be important, and getting away from his old life...

    No lingering desire to mess with the Flash?

    There we go... Can't hide your feelings from an empath.

    Big drawback to his talent. I suppose Alan was kind enough to help him get an insanity plea...
    Correction: 'it once broke'

    Heh. His fellow inmates not appreciating his intellect?

    Oh, this will be fun...

    And Hilarity is guaranteed.

    Evidently it doesn't stick for long, given the repetition.

    That psychology training kicking nicely. 'Soft Science' indeed!

    Let's hope the League doesn't figure out who his consultants are, I doubt some of them would understand.
    Correction: 'the role of'

    "WOOOO!":V
    "Hans, Hans. Bring it down a little..."
    "Woooo..."x3
    "That's better."

    Oh, the League have no idea what they're going to get hit by. I suspect more than a few egos will be bruised. Along with a few bodies too.

    You know I am would like to be expecting the League to tap YJ to get into Paul's head. And I that he might be a bit surprised.

    But I'm 90% certain this is just going to end up with the protag curb stomping the league again. Sigh. I would like to see the Protag vs full power Comic book supes. Cause he aint winning that.

    I know Mr Zoat doesn't throw out foreshadowing ham-fistedly, but this detail could return in some odd circumstances later. I'm specifically stating "odd" over important or emotionally gratifying. For example! Paul seems to be immortal. His ability to restore strangers to health could sputter out decades from now and we'd learn about it in a flash-forward April Fool's update.

    Another possibility is that Paul will waste a surprising amount of ring-charge healing people during a hectic event. Remember that the strength of his desire acts as a catalyst that makes his powers more efficient.

    I'd rather never see pull power comic book supes. He's just a ridiculous pile of made up powers pulled out of the current writer's ass.

    The issue of his relative apathy impeding his healing (And other power ring functions) came up fairly recently in Gotham Guys, so I linked it more to a continuation of that rather than foreshadowing.

    I'd actually expect Paragon's mentality to shift towards a general universalist empathy as he grows older (chronologically speaking) and he has to live in a world interacting with people after most of his peers are dead (though that may be an assumption that wouldn't even take place- he'd probably offer every loved one a chance at agelessness and thus low-grade immortality, at the very least).

    Yes, I remember that episode. But even as a kid it just didn't wash. Clark is not that fragile. He isn't one little life away from killing or enslaving us all.

    You can't break Superman. That's WHY he is Superman. He can take it. He's not a fragile little doll that will shatter from one emotional trauma.

    Hey, leave Batman out of this.

    Such a chapter doesn't exist as far as I recall, the closest would be Robin and Batwoman implying that Batman has such a plan, with the SI making sure they know why the obvious weaknesses wont work on him, maybe you mean when the DCAU Justice League review their fight against him at the end of the Episode Doppelgängered, here

    No, i'm pretty sure it did happen, it was just in one of the episodes on spacebattles(I think it may have been around the time the Ophidian first showed up but I could be wrong, it was a long time ago, it was definitely before Paul's first year with the team was over though), they were discussing his various bits of equipment and tactics, as well as how difficult actually taking him down would be.

    The last I remembered of them, they were fighting Oceanus, though I'm not sure how helpful they ultimately were. Are they just back in Scandinavia or somewhere now?

    Surely there are other ways of contacting Odin- Doctor Fate seems like a likely option. But Paragon's a busy man and Odin doesn't seem absolutely essential to the uplift project, nor is he someone you should lightly reach out to, though as far as I can see their big-picture goals align quite well. If you did introduce him into the fic, would it be the one from Sandman/Vertigo? (I'm unaware of any other DC comics-related version)

    Yes. Doing all kinds of things that will never be the focus of the story.
    That assumes that Odin wants to talk to him. Someone.. might have mentioned what the SI said about Tyr.

    As far as I can remember, all Paragon said about Tyr was to suggest him as a potential mate for Athena, which doesn't seem so bad.

    The NCR disappointed me again, dying to the Western Brotherhood-Steel Rangers alliance before I could join in and leaving me to deal with the entire Northern League. Which I'm doing, achieving a ten to one kill ratio. I'd be doing better, but the Cyclops Tribe overran Vault City and messed up my war focus, forcing me to justify manually. And then they bunkered their army down in Vault City so I couldn't dislodge them. I had to fall back so they spread out and then sneak a unit behind their lines.

    Yeah fully powered SI might have a chance. Might. But in reality I just don't think he can keep up. Remember Superman is effectively infinitely strong. (He has lifted the Spectre and a book of Infinite pages) He breaks reality with his punches at full force and has held a black hole. Reverse-flash has admitted that Supes speed rivals his own. And Supes himself has stated he can measure time between nano seconds. While he is weak to exposure to kryptonite radiation Keep in mind radiation by its nature is Light-speed and Superman is much much faster then that.

    It would take Paul merged with Ophidian to have a chance and I still thinks he loses.

    Correct. Which is why I said I wanted to see Paul go against Comic Superman.
