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

Wonder Woman the sexy grandma?

 

Can you name a ninety year old who's sexier?

 

Most goddesses in-setting, especially those related to love/sex/beauty, probably qualify.

 

Wonder Woman in this setting hasn't had kids, thus she is not a mother, nor a grandmother.

Wonder Woman in Paragon and Renegade's 'verses have adopted, but until Kon or Match get to knocking boots, she'll stay a Sexy Mother.

EDIT: Though from the Greek God side of the family she's a Aunt and Grand Aunt quite a lot.

 

Betty White.

 

You were faster then me on the draw my friend, was just about to answer him the same ^^’

 

Great minds think alike

 

To the best of my knowledge every one of them is over ninety.

I... Have no opinion on Betty White.

 

Touché

 

I never minded Guy- Warrior.

Zoat however excluded the thing I liked best about it

Guy activated his alien genes looking for a new origin.

Kicked out of the GLC, he stole Sinestro's yellow ring.

That kept glitching on him, he got power armor from Ted.

Than Hallalax broke both, leaving him a muggle.

So when he heard about an Indiana Jones type looking for a "magic pool that gives out superpowers," he jumps at the chance.

He didn't jump at the Call, he tracked it down like it owed him money.

Brain damaged annoying asshole aside, he freaking deserves respect for that.

A normal person would have taken the hint and retired from superheroics, instead Guy showed that he puts the hero in superhero.

So to me Guy-Warrior was one of the highlights of Guy's career. Don't like the look, don't like the powers?

To me that's beside the point.

 

Then what was that? How does that even happen?
You wrote it. You could have had him notice this huge object about to impact his head and flinch away from it, could have unconsciously turned it back into a hand so he could have rubbed his head.
Instead after however long of being in a head trauma induced injury coma, he knocks himself back into one with an dense object that's his own body in a presumably similar injury. Discovering his powers in the most unfortunate way. Only to be comatose once again! It's sad\comical.
Karma is the only explanation I can think of after Author fiat.

Damn straight.

Proof. Living Proof that one's soul and personality can be greater than the ravages of time.

 

What about a descendant like Guy? Would it boost him or not?

 

Because he just woke up from a coma and didn't know anything about his new abilities.

Tragicomic effect. Like Charlie Chaplin's tramp getting knocked into a puddle by a cart, sitting up and looking depressed, then a bird poos on his head.

They'd probably tear each other apart.

 

He got his subspace access back, or he had some in physical pockets, or was I just imagining him losing his subspace access earlier?

 

If Grayven was here, "That's right. You Kneel"

 

It's cool to see Paragon using his metaphysique in New God-esque ways. Maybe he should get in touch with Himon or someone to continue the magitech revolution IN SPACE and synergize Maltusian and New God technology somehow. I forget what happened to Aurakle/the grundygod, but I hope some research is being done on that avenue as well.
Not sure about the pros vs. cons compared to his orange light instant transmission, but I wonder if it's worth learning from Dox how to make boom tubes with a ring.

 

That's Paul's ring alright.

As pedantic as him.

So most likely Grayven.

That doesn't mean that they don't have some Apokaliptian tech in them.

It's not the size but how you use it that matters.

'energy rolls'

So either this is some magic defence to lower an enemy's desire to fight, or he spent too much time around Coeus.

'leaves'

Paul's first use of actual god-speech.

Maybe after your qwa-matter bath.

After that you became very influenced by the desires of those around you.

'draws'

 

About the time you decided to wear that orange ring full time instead of minimizing your exposure to the Orange Light like a same person.

 

Wasn't expecting Paul to use Godspeech, even if it's only a small bit like this. I doubt he'd ever learn how to use it the way the Renegade does, but I hope he'll develop it for future engagements with other beings who use it.

He's technically used it before. When he had Godspeech Tourette and when he fought the zombie New God. Maybe when he fought the forces of Heaven, but I'm not sure on that one.

 

Ooh, a two-parter! Things are heating up. And the cliffhanger is looking like the first shots of a war between the Titans and Sparta's forces. But the Titans will be on the back foot after this sneak attack...

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Yes, Ring, thank you for clarifying. However many it is, that's a lot of tango heading his way...

And that's even more worrying. I don't know if they expected to face a Lantern or not, but if their guns are doing that to his shield, imagine what they can do to New Cronus, or a Titan...

Logical. There's no way any kind of effective shield could wrap that closely inside the curve of New Cronus' arc. And as we see, the secondary arrays covering critical systems inside the primary can't handle that much firepower for long... Like slipping a knife into the joints of a suit of Plate Armour...

There must be considerable thaumic batteries aboard, then, to support that kind of output. Or someone of equivalent power fuelling them.

Flys attacking an elephant. But flies armed with razor-blades capable of shearing through the weak points of the hide.

To be fair, he's lucky it didn't collect him entirely. It doesn't take an aimed shot to take him out in this fight. Just a lucky one.

If you kill the mothership, then the boats have nowhere to go. Nor will it be able to throw more out. And it's likely to have more information on its' systems than an assault boat.

So a 'feed me!' effect is stronger against it than pure destruction. Fascinating.

I wonder, what effect could be causing that? Sorcerers aboard the ship trying to affect him?

Bizarre that they would have an effect to protect against melee assault, but given that they're after Gods... I could see the more combat-oriented Titans flying out to punch the enemy vessels.

Some manner of distraction effect? Even kinkier.

Boy, talk about 'Fuck You, that's how.' hacks. Definitely not using conventional technology alone.

Boy, there's a deep cut. Sitting in his inventory for two years, and only just now finding a use for it. Never clear out anything that might look useful, kiddies.

So more or less confirmed the attacking fleet is using New God tech. But Apokaliptian or New Genesisian? Would Grayven be involved in something like this?

I see they didn't upgrade the material of the ships to be proof against their own weapons. Why would they, since the Titans would presumably have nothing to counter it?

Fuuunky. Not quite a proper use of Godspeech, but definitely enforcing his essence upon the universe.

Focus, OL. Kill the ship first, then loot. First rule of murderhoboing adventuring.

At least you're able to recognise it as such. I doubt you a year ago would have hesitated to start hacking the systems for info, instead of taking the ship down.

So, the lack of atmosphere being vented may well be because they depressurise non-essential areas? It makes a certain sense. At any rate, it looks like the Mooks don't get quite as many New God goodies as the ship itself.

Hmm... I'm getting a funny feeling that Apokalips did to Karrakan what they tried to do to Earth back in season one: Empower minor factions with their weapons to introduce destabilising elements. But there, they had no interference. And thus the demigods rose up in war, weakening them against an eventual occupation by Apokaliptian forces. I guess we'll see, soon enough.

 

No, roils is correct. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/roil

 

If Grayven gave them these weapons then it does make sense.

New Gods seem to prefer fighting in hand to hand combat even when shooting the enemy would be better.

Probably.

Sparta may be a subordinate of his and her having revenge against the Titans may be what she wants as payment.

 

No... it's "My life for Aiur!"

 

As the saying goes: tragedy is when I stub my toe. Comedy is when you fall into an open manhole and die.

 

Actually, it's " My wife for hire!"

 

Better is debatable when you have a litany of interacting arcane effects changing circumstances around. New Gods being fucky and all.

Speaking of which, is main timeline Paul finally going to revisit his one brief foray into Godspeech from when he met Scott and Barda and start actually interacting with New God tech now? He's enlightened but does that mean he can be Awakened? (Jazz hands optional)

Would he end up being the God of Avarice or is that seat taken by Best Snek? If so, what's the next best thing?

 

He lost subspace access while in the factory. As he pondered when he examined Phoebe's body, he got it back after leaving.

No.

Thank you, corrected.

If you're going to post that, you could at least post her rates.

 

Well this will have consequences. Remember that Paul's tattoo's are specifically designed to absorb energy (the kind doesn;t matter too much as proved by when he became a demon) and make / augment his soul with it. So he basically just shoved a giant load of god power into his soul. I wonder if this will make him become a New God like Renegade did?

 

Paul is a Blue Mage. Constantine made a Blue Mage with some tattoo work and a corpse. Glorious.
