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

Is she using the Renegade's design, her old outfit, the outfit worn by Supergirl in JLU, or a different one altogether?

 

me

 

Thank you, corrected.

A different one altogether, though she's still got the one Grayven made and grudgingly admits that it's objectively superior.

 

In that case, do you have an image of what costume this Kara is currently using.

 

No.

 

Though not as much as their comic counterparts.

I don't remember any cartoon Superman sneezing a galaxy away.

Though there probably are others in the Phantom Zone.

 

I think it was oce mentioned that she's wearing a black bodysuit with the symbol of the In-Ze house on it.

It's also apparently their equivalent of a sports uniform, like a football jersey, and her father was a big sports fan.

 

'Krypton’

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

The coffee doesn't seem to be kicking in, so I'll ask: I don't get it?

 

The In-Ze house didn't have a symbol, and you're right in that it's really just the Kryptonian equivalent of a sports jersey.

 

She IS the only kryptonian with blond hair out of all 2 kryptonians left in her universe. The rest are kinda gone now.....hence the gallows humour.

 

It's Batman, I'm going to assume he survived somehow.

 

I like how the whole Gold Kryptonite thing only works here because this Kal-El doesn't care enough to fix it.

 

That should say 'somewhat'.

And now it seems that Ahri'ahn has finally made his move. Mr Zoat, is it safe to assume that he hasn't done anything like this in the Paragon timeline because he saw what was happening, approved, and then continued on time travelling forwards?

Plus the fact that he doesn't know that what Luthor did would've eventually worn off and that the Gold Kryptonite is depowering him permanently.

 

You know there are cures for Gold Kryptonite right?

And some times it just randomly wears off.

 

I'm getting the feeling he might get his powers back soon.

 

I don't remember where it was, but I believe Paul told Kara that eventually, gold kryptonite's effects can become permanent due to it working by damaging the parts of their cells that provide the energy for their powers.

 

For a second, I thought you meant the Collector was a big purple herbivore. But a farm animal does make more sense. I see Kal-El has been keeping busy, at least, now that the world decided it doesn't want him around.

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Oh, he wants many things. A more accurate question would be 'What does he want from you?'

Oh, don't be down, Kal. Perhaps you'll find a new pastime besides farming to occupy your time. A man needs a hobby, after all.

Heh. A whole different kind of messy work to conventional farming.

...Shit, he knows about the Gold-K, doesn't he?

Yeah. People think he's just a flying strongman, but Kal-El is the scion of a scientific culture. The man is a legitimate genius.

No point denying it. Worst case, just say it was a Batman backup plan.

Well, except to your kryptonian solar organelles. Honestly, he's lucky you didn't give him some sort of super-cancer.

Besides, Luthor's thing was technically wearing off. The Renegade was being cautious.

Heh. A typical Renegade action result: It seems fine now, but there are always unintended consequences.

Sadly, when someone she's trusted for years does something like you did, it does kind of have lasting effects.

Optimistic, for someone who decided the world wasn't mature enough to be trusted to lead itself...

Let's hope it's reasonably compatible, besides the obvious elements of kryptonian biology. At least Sixteen and Fifty have similar technologies.

Dude, you are not your muscles alone. Remember, you are the product of generations of scientific refinement... Try putting the meat in your head to work sometime.

A Boom Tube generator might be a bit much, mind. And likely get the attention of the local Apokaliptians.

Ooh, that's a loaded question. Why lobotomise them, instead of just executing them? Surely some of them would have earned it...

Except you were too nice to think of it, weren't you, Kal? All of you were still trying to tell yourselves you were still heroes.

The you should at least have understood the value of good publicity...

Ooh, confident. Got to love that sarcastic streak in DCAU Supermen.

I'm betting it's seen some shit over the years.

True. Give someone unlimited leisure, and sooner or later, they get antsy.

Heh. Got to love the casual breaching of vibrational barriers between universes. Such a Renegade thing to do.

And she's probably all 'Now what?'

Familiarity breeds contempt, Renegade. and she's plenty familiar with you.

Hey, don't knock superheroic fashion. Hell, would you prefer a textured unitard with no trunks?

"Grayven, League red alert. Atlantis has risen." Well, looks like we'll be getting plenty of action in the B-plot of the episode, at least.

"Offical channel. It's real. Formerly underwater city floating on the surface and everything." Let's hope the people are handling the transition well. I doubt everybody managed to get to safety in the water...

And isn't it just such a sign of how odd their lives are that that statement is taken completely seriously?

Ah, instant teleportation gateways. The second-fastest way to get around the universe.

What's the bet Kal finds the Eradicator protocols within minutes of checking the pod's systems?

Well, then. It seems Ahri'ahn has had enough of waiting. He's going to make Atlantis the power it once was, and end up facing the entire Justice League in the process. Let's hope they've got the oomph to overcome him. But why do I get the feeling Kal-El will not only find out what's wrong with Kara, but also how to fix himself? And not just physically, perhaps...

 

Thank you, corrected.

No.

 

Yep. He also mentioned the possibility of it having other bad long-term effects as it is damaging part of the cell functions.

 

Well, I could easily see Superman 50 getting back his superpowers. Then someone would have to beat his ass again, because in the comics he did take over again. And tried to get revenge on the Justice League. Because of course he did.

That was the main problem with the Justice Lords and similar such evil Leagues. They can't just content themselves with "fixing" their Earth. They have to stick their dicks in other universes. Then lose to their good counterparts somehow, even though they should absolutely be winning because it's the same people and powers only they aren't holding back anymore.

 

I remember a comic where he basically learned a lifetime worth of medical knowledge in a few moments using superspeed.

Only if he plans on conquering.

Though even if he isn't planningthat, Atlantis rising could have potentially harmed the citizens that aren't so well equipped for living outside of water.

Not to mention the potential geologic and enviromental instability that can occur when a whole continent suddenly emerges.

Because you have good instincts.

 

Well, what does Grayven has in anti magic?

 

I'd love to see Justice Lord Superman learn from his mistakes and become a better dictator.

 

That would be an interesting read. It would be great to see what a dictator version of Superman could do if he managed to retain popular support and not go too crazy.

It does seem like everytime a superhero takes control of a country they inevitably go mad with power and paranoia to the point of needless cruelty, but I guess that this is to make it clear to the reader that superheroes shouldn't take over countries.

Edit:

I remember that in the Injustice animated movie Superman kills a bunch of Joker supporters who were all just dumbass teens who were spouting bullshit they read online.

Maybe Superman could have exposed these people supporting a crazed madman who nuked a city and he would have the widespread supported to arrest every single one of them.

 

In the comics they weren't just regular dumbasses, but got taken out while in a warehouse full of weapons because they were preparing to start some real shit.

Of course, the comic version of the Injustice storyline made the people opposed to Superman look incredibly stupid. And had him start out as, honestly, being pretty damn reasonable. People just wouldn't stop provoking him. Well, that and Injustice Wonder Woman was a psycho actively encouraging him to be evil.

Like, in the comic storyline? After he kills Joker? He doesn't jump straight to global dictator. He originally just says that he's going to stop ignoring ongoing wars. So he does exactly that and actively intervenes in conflicts to protect civilians and bring about peace instead of just letting nations have it out. The US government hates this and recruits Mirror Master to help them kidnap Clark's parents. Needless to say, he doesn't appreciate this.

And you just keep getting the anti-Superman faction increasingly escalating and causing Clark to unravel further . . . All the while they act like they read ahead in the script and treat him as though he is way worse than he actually is.

I normally don't particularly care about Superman. I also normally prefer Batman. The Injustice comics made me hate Injustice Batman and root for Injustice Superman. (I was especially pissed off with how Harley was handled.)

 

Yes, but Paul's not a super scientist, and that was something he pulled out of his ass Power Ring Simulation since it's not supported by any Meta information.

 

His own godly nature plus whatever Sunset cooked up.
