Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
IIRC the actual divergence point between Paragon and Renegade is back in Earth Prime - Renegade didn't get enough sleep prior to the start of the fic, or something. So there's really no accounting for that, I don't think.
Also, if an explanation were ever given for Common Sense Paul, I don't...
I assume Paul himself deflects if they ask, since he's still managed to avoid telling the Team that, at the very least, their universe isn't any more real than those ones
He's also hesitant to combine different kinds of esoteric powers on the off chance it opens up whole new frontiers of weakness. He was worried about his demon-lanterns corrupting the orange light, or at least providing a back channel for Satanus to attack him back when he was a major threat.
What gets me is, Diana was there for the incident with Jarhanpur's heir. If the Justice League is kind of the government right now, "child-kidnapping for devotional reasons" is something that's actually supported by their case law.
Possible that the Forever People are (or were) particularly young and inexperienced as New Gods go, haven't fully come into their god names yet, and/or otherwise just aren't good at that technique.
She might have one from Metis, but I think they're mostly banking on her being something of a New God herself, with a baseline awareness and control of her own metaphysique that the others don't have.
The ring translates to his preferred version of english, especially when he's speaking with aliens who may or may not bother engaging their own translators around him.
Boom tubes are also uniquely superior to power ring transit in that the default version can take you directly to anywhere in the setting - including pocket dimensions, the Dream, the Phantom Zone, the Source Wall, and various afterlives. Probably the Hondens as well. As far as I can tell, the...
They're shapeshifting technology, though, right? Nanotech? Only slightly less 'sufficiently advanced' than power rings?
The only difference between two Scarabs should be how much programmable mass they have, and how it's actually programmed. Seems to me if these Scarabs are a weaker model...
I think Nanaue is tougher than Waylon Jones, if he exists in this continuity (we've only met the other King Sha'ark)
If we're counting Lanterns, The Calculator may also have hard light constructs (though he's only appeared in his capacity as an information broker so far)
There's also Brick...
Yeah, the important thing is that his Orange Lantern abilities are more spiritual than mental. His rings have standing orders to restore his body in the event of catastrophic failure, and there's no reason something as mundane as shock would stop him from needing them to him, since he's not...
Except, in this analogy, OL is Robin, and not actually responsible for the decisions of his superiors, and it's a little weird that everyone is acting like he is.
Paul's been very clear with them all that he is merely a(n incredibly close and powerful) affiliate of the Orange Lantern Corps...
