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

Well, Paul does have a a Demon Lord, a fungoid elemental, and a New Ascendant construct lanterns. That should help against the Citizenry, right?

At least two of those three should... probably...

 

'power rings'

'in'

This could be a specific term, or perhaps you meant 'donning'.

Right, he lost the Hellwraith, didn't he?

 

Enh, sort of depends on the drop. 'Scry and die' is a trope for a reason. That said, it helps if, unlike Boom Tubes, your teleport method is one way so it doesn't expose your staging area to counterattack as readily. And for varying definitions of 'unknown location'.

 

of -> as

were -> are (to make the tense of the second half of the sentence match the first half)

 

I hope Paul bluntly tells Diana about her aunt after all of this is over. Then he can reveal to Hippolyta what happened to her little sister and the monster she's become.

 

‘power’

To be fair, don’t souls normally stick around as miserable ghosts unless they die in a thaumosphere or get captured by something like those shrines Paragon built? Not very peaceful, although I suppose as demigods it’s pretty likely that Ascendants are an exception.

‘doesn’t’?

He’s giving blood to the Seeds? Or is it meant to be ‘donning’? I still don’t know what it means in that case.

I think he still has Nabu-666 somewhere, right? Or did something happen to him that I don’t remember?

 

Thank you, corrected.

He's not.

No.

More or less.

 

Last I remember, Mr Zoat said that Nabu 666 is handling the Tower of Nabu. As such, Paul may or may not have access to that Construct-Lantern.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

Or he didn't want to risk getting Assimilated.

That may not be the best thing to do when Earth still has Anti-Life.

I imagine the shock and horror vould undermine their resistance.

 

Considering Kevin MacTaggert had it better in the X-Men Animated Series, I wonder if the same could be said of David Haller, aka "Legion", son of Charles Xavier, if he exists.

I honestly wonder what Paul would suggest to help the lad with his Mind Hive issues. Get Doctor Strange involved and induce a Trance Healing, Internal Alchemy process?

 

Though it may also be connected to how they're structured, so it wouldn't be just power, but how it looks.

Plus, there may be a mental component involved.

If I remember correctly, I think it was mentioned that some of the member from the Renegade Team weren't as strong as others because they didn't embrace the fact that they're gods but just thought they were more powerful.

That does bring up the question of how New Gods differ from other demigods.

We know New Gods draw their power from the Source, but what about others?

Zoat, where do demigods that aren't New Gods draw power from?

The Dream, or does their Old God parentage allow them to connect to the Source?

Didn't think of that, but she did seem eager to kill her mommy.

 

I know that. I was thinking after the Anti-Life disaster is over, just because Paul thinks they deserve to know after he's fought them personally.

 

Yes. It's compressed gravitons. The expansion and contraction of space itself causes a wave that travels through vacuum and will physically shove your eardrums when it gets to you.

 

'Draw' is probably the wrong term. They exist differently within the material universe.

 

You know I wouldn't be surprised if you can hear the boom in space because New God Tech is just that bullshit.

How the hell can I even hear that in space sound doesn't travel in a vacuum.

"My ring is allowing us to hear the boom tubes."

And here I thought it was using the same mechanism that Batman uses to breath in space.

"Batman can't breath in space."

Supes and Diana claim he does and she was holding her lasso of truth when she repeated that claim.

"How would he even be able to do that?"

He's Batman.

"What?"

 

um i thought all us government was hostile to mutants. what army base is this? i didnt know the us gov was training mutants....

 

X-Factor is a team funded by the US military because superpowers are usually a massive force multiplier. The 90's show was also written better than most comics interested in taking a slightly more... nuanced, let's call it, take on how people with an active X-Gene would interact with a, still largely Marvel-like, society.

Which is to say that, as with all things large and small, The United States Of America's Armed Forces tried to see if they could make it kill someone. Been a hot minute since I watched the show though, so I have no idea if it went better than the Nerf football plan did.

 

Just watch the episode, Forge is running this unit on behalf of the government, like they were in the comics back in the 90s

 

people's

I had assumed that the boom was the result of the spatial distortion inducing a shockwave in nearby matter.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

Okay, this is still a good challenge even if he's gender flipping in the middle of it. Though I hope he won't lose access to his ring or the orange light completely in this fight.

 

the -> they

hunter -> hunted

want to -> want you to

 

‘She’s’

‘There’

‘the sort of’

Other times that citizens are mentioned in this chapter it isn’t capitalised (except at the start of sentences). Not sure if this should be uncapitalised or others should be capitalised, or if there’s different context that justifies this.

 

they

Well. This is a somewhat odd turn, but the New Gods are pretty much universally nuts among the Apocalypse side. Not that the New Genesis side is a bastion of sanity either.

Also, wow, if you hadn't of been kicked off SV before...

 

Thank you, corrected.

Citizen can be a title (a member of the Citizenry) and a regular description (a citizen of the Citizenry).

*Main character changes sex and no one treats it as a big deal.*

SV: And I objected to that.

 

Bah da! Bah da! Dude looks like a lady!
