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

He's a good egg.

 

The implied rule in the comics which is actually proximity.

They were introducing coming across a Sinestro corpsman and a Green Lantern fighting.

They chased off the Sinestro corpsman with a giant yellow construct beast and then mercy killed the injured green lantern with a green construct.

The Indigo tribe seems perfectly capable of emulating another lantern- if there's one in proximity. Stewart was even able to emulate a black lantern and blow up Mogo with a black construct sniper rifle.

So pretty much the exact opposite of how Zoat has them here.

And Sur created the Indigo Tribe as an anti-Guardian force. He was distressed by how sociopathic they sometimes acted and helped create the Indigo Tribesman with the intention of forcing them to feel empathy if they ever crossed the line.

So the whole "recruit people by forcing them to feel empathy" thing that was mentioned? The Guardians were the intended targets.

 

If I remember correctly, the particular weirdo Maltusian Paul talked to about helping out with making a red power ring actually hung around on planet Tulsa, and not on Maltus. So I think this is correct.

 

’and are ready’?

 

Isn't the moon called Turi?

 

If Dar isn't a lower title then this should still be Dal.

Either missing a word or a comma somewhere.

Dal

 

Effect.

 

No, it's Turi. Thank you, corrected.

That was really more of a 'mercy' kill. It would have been easy enough for them to heal him.

'We can do all the lights' just seemed a bit OP.

And that seemed a bit 'the Guardians are evil'.

Thank you, corrected.

 

I don't think it's vacant, it's just that the Endless became a hippy and is doing his best to subvert it.

Picture

 

Orion can be pretty destructive, but Destruction is far more than wrecking stuff.

 

(claps) Way too many depictions of Orion overlook this aspect. Is this heroic ideal natural to Orion or is it the desire to make himself to the anti-thesis to everything Darkseid? Does it matter? I'm sure the miner won't care the motivation.

 

What more was there to Destruction than wrecking stuff?

 

Entropy. Solar fusion.

 

Art critics destroying dreams

Negging destroying relationships

Time destroying cheese by letting mold grow too long and ruining the flavor

 

Agree. It was more the idea of Orion being close to anger enlightment and being more stable in this universe.

 

I wasn't complaining there, just in case you thought my typing conveyed a disapproving tone.

 

*looks at all the new powers you have invented for orange rings*

And that matters to you why?

 

Huh. The Indigo Tribe succeeding in that could be an interesting AU. Probably not this thread, though.

 

Were you expecting him o look a bit like his nio dad?

Honestly even Darkseid looked normal once, but his appearance partially changed when he desired to make people more intimidated by him.

Orion doesn't want that and does not want to have anything to do with that ugly statue.

It may also be Mother Box's connection to him.

This..does not look good.

 

"Only one way to see what happens, sweetie." Well, that's true. Orion may be accustomed to his Rage. But there's a difference between the rage of a single man, even a New God, and the leavings of the primal incarnation of the Universe's Fury.

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

He might soak it up like a sponge. Or it'll flow right in, and then right out of him and into someone else, like water across a hydrophobic coating.

"Don't mind him, sweetie. All this anger around here's getting him a little... Well..."

...And his metaphysique's locked down like a fortress, isn't it? Logical enough, given the dangers of New God memetic warfare...

"Opening a door now, dear. Be quick, this isn't exactly easy, if you please."

Ah, an interesting chance for him to get a look at the Godhead, eh? That little fragment of the Source that binds to them when they take their Godname...

Heh. Baiting the infection with a bigger, juicier Hate.

Like pouring water into a piping system. Except that the pipes are see-through, and the water is neon red...

"Oh, my. That's... A peculiar sensation, isn't it, dear?"

And it looks like the infection did some damage to the host, eh? Just like a cancer, indeed.

"Well, that went better than expected. Shouldn't be too much trouble for us."

So, the Rage poison effectively blocks all thought and memory in the victim, then...

And won't that come as a shock to them, I wonder? Still, at least they won't be the only family getting a loved one back... Not if OL or Orion have any say in the matter.

Don't sound too pleased with yourself, OL. That's one person. It remains to be seen how well Orion handles the rest.

I'm guessing he didn't hold out much hope, eh?

So, that moment of anger did open him up to the poison. With any luck, he remembers where, to give them a starting point on narrowing down the source.

Yeah, imagine that culture shock. It may still happen with some of the older cases...

...Lantern. Sure, wrong colour, but honestly, no-one's arguing about that part.

Yeah, having a glowing fellow who's obviously not local either screams 'Lantern'... Or 'Alien God.'

...Doing okay there, big guy? Not... Grinding your teeth or anything?

...Not reassuring, Orion. That could be eagerness speaking... Or addiction.

"I reserve my judgement, but so far, so good..."

And hopefully get the chain off. Unless he swings that way.

Good to see him so calm. I wonder if the over-exposure has left him better adjusted in that sense? So that his resting level of temper is much lower...

...Baby steps, OL. Baby steps. Don't be like Tony Stark, trying to fly before you can walk.

Though, to be fair, he always seems a little angry.

Though I suspect repairing their desire networks will take a little longer after this. Since each is a little different.

Well, time for Orion to try drinking from the fire hose, now that he's mastered the garden hose. Wonder what the chances of him gaining Enlightenment from all this is? I mean, he's already well accustomed to mastering his rage. How much more of a push would he need to be able to examine and accept it all? I suppose we'll find out eventually.

---

...and as such we can easily recall what should be there and restore it.

"Kellen? Are you back with us?"

We'll have the Dar's physician check you over, and then you'll be out."

 

I am not certain that Orion can currently gain enlightenment, I mean at least from how I see it he would need to understand his anger and accept it along with what causes it. Currently he sees his anger as something he must endure, I don't think that is helping him for enlightenment.

 

I mean, there isn't a lot of red light in him.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

Dal

The mistake seems to he consistent. Since ot is an invented word, would it make sense to change all copies of "Dal" to "Dar" instead?

 

Mr Zoat explained that some places say 'Dar', while others say 'Dal' due to linguistic drift.

 

Fine indeed. Freaked out, insecure, neurotic and emotional.

I do not see this ending well. Orion is actively avoiding rage enlightenment and his endurance is not limitless.

The minor is taking it remarkably well.

 

In the main comics continuity there is actually a thing where Orion has inherited something of Darkseid's grey skin and rocky appearance but uses Mother Box to cover it with an illusion of a more handsome and "normal" face because he hates that resemblance to his father. Not that there's any reason for OL to be able to see through a Mother Box illusion.

 

Missed that. Thank you.

 

Miner. A minor is a child. A miner is someone who digs professionally.
