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

So that thing can locate Pauls over paralel earth boundaries, can find their local identities and even name them...but is fooled by sentient clay looking like one?

 

Agreed, that was one of the least intelligent things Hagen has done.

 

That's funny as hell!

Bit of a waste for 'Peter', all that money and favors, and the idiot jumps into a random portal asking for somebody else?

Well, he is a DC villain.

 

...
Grayven isn’t going to be directly involved in the multiverse shenanigans, is he? If non-Pauls (with their plus one) are involved and Paragon Paul does get grabbed, then we certainly aren’t getting an interaction between Renegade and Paragon.

I’m an adult, this feeling of heartbreak won’t keep me down! I foresee one of Grayven’s buddies getting snatched up, possibly with a non-Earthling companion. Hmm. I wonder... if TimeTrapper is actually responsible for the abductions and everyone is returned to their original universes, then Mr Zoat has the option of doing some incredible trolling. Imagine the victims getting snatched up and fighting for their lives for one month. Once the antagonist has been taken care of a solution to the returning-home-problem is concocted. What could be troll-like about that?

The victims have coordinates related to their original capture. The return trips could drop them off literally seconds after the original craft abducted them. There could be time travel tech available! So any parties worried about their missing Brits won’t even get to miss the guy.

 

"What I planned to do all along." Honestly, has she not worked with him enough to know he plans ahead?

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Someguy Somewhere called it, it's a rescue and recruitment run!

What, never seen someone pulling themselves together?

"Yes, Arsenal, do try to keep up..." So none of his operatives knew what he was after?

Ouch, that'll make him a little upset, I think.

Significant amongst the charges: Kidnapping and Deprivation of Liberty... Never mind his whole secret crime boss thing.

Easy assumption to make, really.

Us or Them mentality. How nice.

Let's go with 'Mercenary'. Or maybe 'Freelance problem solver', mercenary is such an ugly word.

It tends to be quite profitable for said people, too.

Quite literally. Pun not intended, as far as Peter is concerned, I hope.

Ah, he's suspicious. Sensible, really.

You haven't heard the whole plan yet. Patience.

A little bit of carrot. Unfortunately, I suspect the stick will carry more weight...

You do realize there are four super-powered or exotically skilled individuals with weapons ready?

Wait for it...

Heh, not much of a choice at all.

Ah, good, he's playing ball, rather than taking it and going home.

Eyes on the prize, eh?

Hasn't he been in a small tin can long enough already?

I'm guessing Morgan Edge either uses his own private VTOL aircraft, or a teleporter system...

I suppose the only Hero in the party has to play the Face...

Oh, dear, this again. And this Paul isn't exactly geared for it...

Hey, wait. Is he really going to try...

Whoever that is just 'dun goofed' Seriously, working solely on visual data?

Cue that Tenth Doctor clip...

Well, as expected, an Alternate Paul got snatched. But this time, they got who they least expected... Wonder how this little bit of dirt in the works will mess up their plans. And... A giant blue hand... Hmm, an original Maltusian? Krona, perhaps?

 

Not quite, Clayface has just been snatched instead. Gonna be funny to see how that affects the plans of whoevers doing the snatching, especially if they just think it's a Paul who got the Clayface treatment/powers.

On the bright side whatever they're planning will probably not work properly thanks to the fact they're missing a Paul.

 

From out of the frying pan and into the fire. Wonder if Clayface had enough time to regret what he did? Also, it would technically be easy to know this was a fake. Just ask the shapeshifter you suspect isn't a version of you one question: what is your name? The fact that he doesn't faint, say he'll faint, or ask if they can say their name is enough for any of them to know that he ain't Paul. I hope whoever got him realized he wasn't one of them and decided to make an example of him or make him a braindead minion or something. It would make him think before trusting the ominous voice in the sky over the guy who freed him from years in captivity.

 

Plot twist: Peter Wynne is actually an offshoot of Clayface, who Paul was given the powers of in this universe.

 

I am pretty sure that Hagen decided to go with the hand is that he doesn't trust Peter that much.
For all we know Edge could have offered to help him and them put him in his collection.
While Hagen isn't Arkham crazy he has spent several years in isolation and is probably not all that there in the head.

 

del

 

Trusting a giant blue hand that comes from the sky would count as Arkham-crazy to me.

 

Good point Thoth, good point.

 

Well, I did tease the Anti-Monitor...

 

If the crisis happens in 2012 then can you tell us just say what time it will happen, like in summer, winter etc.?

 

No thanks. We don't need that much information.

 

Couldn't even if I wanted to.

 

The SI doesn't know.

 

Did that Martian porn star give renegade M'gann the pendant with the shape-shifting information?

 

No, he was too cowed to do anything except get back on his ship and head for Mars.

 

stupid. stupid, not insane.

 

Pity. I mean it's a pity for that M'gann.

 

Kinda surprised that the portal-thing was fooled by a mud-man.
they can detect people through dimensions and lock onto them with enough accuracy to find them seemingly anywhere, but will then grab the wrong guy just because they superficially look the same?

It's not doing a DNA scan or anything? Just going by facial recognition? And it wasn't stumped by there being two people with the same face at the same location?

 

This is DCAU Clayface, he is going to look EXACTLY like the person he is impersonating.

 

Yeah, superficially. Meaning he resembles them 'on the surface' not that he only vaguely looks like them.
Any sort of technological scan (even as primitive as an X-ray) would reveal him not to be human though.

If they're portaling dudes in from other universes, they should be doing dna scans or staring into the target's soul.

 

It's a quick snatch of basically exact duplicates of a guy who didn't have a soul who almost never makes any big changes to him self. Also in context superficially can also mean stunt double level of look alike or some one who looks exactly the same, but only from behind.

 

Also, they may have had the more in-depth analysis before/during opening the portal.

 

Zoat this episodes says 92 at the beginning it should be 93

 

Damnit. I liked Peter.

 

Add "of" before "hiding".

Add "to" after "need".
