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

He still lost to normal man, that was just the writing at work to make a normal man win

 

If you think Bane is a normal man, I can’t imagine the ungodly hours you must put in at the gym...

 

Fine, Normal buff man.

 

There's an example from the comics I liked.

Amos Fortune is a Justice League villain who mastered luck. At first it was supposed to be technology, but it was being treated as magic in this appearance, he had the Wizard help him with the luck energy.

By giving luck to Wildcat, he enabled a mindcontrolled Wildcat to defeat Flash and then Alan in hand to hand combat.

So he just got lucky.

 

Power rings technically are normal in the DC universe.

If the guy is able to alter reality around him then he's not a normal guy.

Bane, even without his drugs, is still an extremely strong guy.

 

I think there was a tale in the SCP resurrection canon where there was a 'Normal' kid who wasn't affected by anomalies which are normal to the SCP canon.

Strong yes, but still just a normal guy.

 

Also a skilled and experienced fighter.

Paul, even without his ring, is strong and a trained fighter, but not on Banes level of strength or skill.

 

For you.


Also, love to see more Warhammer Paul! He ranks above Fallout and Common Sense Paul in my top 3!

Can't wait for the wedding between him and that lovely corpse he intends to fuck.

 

And for a whole lot of other people.

He managed to lift a boulder without his drugs.

That's not something a lot of people can do.

 

That was a rare, vintage meme from 2012 and you just shot it twice in the goddamn head!

 

Mr Zoat, have you read Blood and Lust by CrossyCross?

 

i doubt Zoat read any of the NSFW stuff here

 

maybe 'tries'

maybe 'send it'

'disappears'

'they're'

 

Oh no, he’s been around.

 

This knight reminds me of Mandorallen from The Belgariad books. Equally thick, pompous and stubborn.

 

Gods I hope this continues tomorrow.

He's been the whole way around. Wink wink nudge nudge.

 

...
Ok, I'm confused. Definitely not a franchise I'm familiar with.

 

Sadly it wont.

Though maybe we'll see him again in the end of this episode.

I really hope we also see what the 40k one has been doing in the next episode.

 

Still doubt the man will be much of a threat. Unless he's got some magic ability to bypass environmental shields.

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

That would be beneath a man of his rank. That sort of thing is for peasants!

Bretonnian, then. Oh, this is going to be annoying, if he's full of courtly language...

A very good question. Questing knights will go anywhere their visions lead them, even into the forests Athel Loren or into the crass lands of the Reiklanders.

He's actually asking that? Boy, you really love your timestamps, huh?

Mousillion, for the curious. Pretty much the muddy arse-end of Bretonnia. Plenty of wandering undead, and some Vampires.

The alternative was some unfamiliar kind of Wizard, and as they said last chapter, he's not touched by the Winds of Magic like any living thing of this world. Meaning he's technically soulless here.

Still just a guy with a sharpened bar of metal, and maybe a little innate magic (not that he'd call it that.) No big threat, except to Paul's patience.

Ah, now we see what you meant by 'getting it right is mid-tier'. Sloppy first try, and she's shaking it off as her soul tries to reboot her desires.

Because of course the Elven language is the same as 40K's Eldar... Blame the lazy writers of Warhammer...

And yet you're the one on his knees. Not seeing the irony here, Captain?

Not that sir knight cares for the tongues of 'pointy-eared louts and blackguards'.

Well, at least the battle-lust has cleared a little. And that is an amazing insult.

I suspect sir knight will have issues with that decision...

Oh, boy. A battle of philosophy? At least he's not waving his pigsticker around as much...

Ah, nope. He's not in a talking mood, I see. Man's got a short fuse.

Yeah, the crew's not going to take that offer...

Now, now, they may not be humans, but they're still people. Bad, bad people, but still...

Look, I know you want to facepalm, sir knight, but please refrain, you'll dent your helmet.

Boy, that's not a good sign. Hope he's in good shape, otherwise he's going to pop a blood vessel.

...What.

Oh, wow, the good old Challenge between characters. It's like the world is actually running in 5th edition rules.

Man, that must get annoying after a while. He really likes the sound of his own voice, huh?

Oh, you have no idea what you;re in for, do you. here's a hint: he already has it drawn.

Three steps ahead. Classic Zoat.

And that is not going to improve his mood at all. I can just imagine the Dark Elves soaking in Hope right now...

Entertaining. It's like no-one's ever run into advanced technology before... Oh, wait. Well, at least not in this part of the world - There's probably a few lost artifacts in the Realms of Chaos, like bolters and power armour, to be had...

 

Its Warhammer Fantasy bro. OL's in Brettonia which is basically the land of French King Arthur. Super simplified, its a land where peasants have to donate 95% of their earnings to their local nobility. Of that nobility, if they gots a penis, they're a knight. What kind of knight varies based on their experience and age. Our friend Sir Mallobaude is a Questing Knight which is basically second from the top in terms of Knight hierarchy and whose purpose in life is to do good until the Lady (Lady of the Lake expy) decides he's worthy to become a Grail Knight and drink from the Grail turning them into Captain America (Captain Brettonia?). Problem is that loads of Questing Knights will spend literally their entire lives and not be found worthy. So, dependent on the author, if OL hadn't steeped in, Mallobaude could technically be badass enough to take on the entire reaving party himself because Questing Knight.

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't.

Thank you for dissecting my joke. My heartfelt gratitude.

 

One of GW's official campaigns had a relic that was basically a power fist.

 

In fairness she is a magic user, so it's not that surprising she'd be able to shake off the effects.

Well it could be that just some words are universal for Elves, even if they come from different times and universes.

Though it's probably lazy writing.

If they're arrogant bastards that consider humans to be amusing animals at best, then you really can't blame him for not caring about them all that much.

Paul just has that effect on people.

I prefer to think of them as rabid dogs that can talk.

A trait he and the various versions of Paul share.

Maybe they can become friends over their mutual love of their own voices.

Gilgamesh and Ozymandias managed to become friends in Fate despite the fact that they're both extremely arrogant, so it's not out of the realm of possibilities for this Paul and the knight can also become friends.

 

Judging by Mr Zoat's words that Paul will inspire him, they will become friends, or at least allies.

 

As interesting it is to actually see something different i would like to note the internal monologue of someone who woke up on a deathworld an hour ago with a ring to someone who has been dealing with cosmic threats with one for over a year is far too similar. Like unless someone has a neurological disorder that causes them to not feel fear its just completely unrealistic.

 

This one has a lot of motivation to not feel fear, seeing as he won't be able to use his ring if he feels too much fear.

 

Poor Stargirl Paul, it turns out he stopped the Injustice Society from saving the world.

 

No.

...

Thank you, corrected.

No, they're too busy hoisting sail.

She wasn't shaking it off. She was struggling to think now that she has two sets of incompatible desires in her head and her own thoughts didn't make sense.

There was a Warhammer Monthly story with a noble who was a wizard, but they're pretty uncommon.

 

By brainwashing millions of people.

Yes that Paul's actions truly are reprehensible, on the same level as Tangseid reprehensible actions.
