Thanks for the chapter. This part feels very off, like the immediate attraction seems totally random considering the circumstances.

I'd say it depends on how it's played. Both of them are odd cases. One is from an island that completely lacks in men, and was shown by canon heterosexual, and the other is from a deeply militaristic, high government authority society that prizes martial might above all. It's understandable both may have.... reactions. That said, there's a difference between having that reaction, and actually acting upon it. This is especially true in a war zone.
Also most times when something like this starts the target of affection lacks high tier body reading, and mental modeling to know immediately.
End result? Something like this happening quickly is reasonable. I would expect it to take time to turn into anything. One could also make it more even by noting when affection is directed at others, because not keeping such in mind can lead to unpleasantness. Both women have canon relationships in the league for example.

I have not. This and worm are the only two bits of super hero media I've really consumed outside of the live action marvel movies.
Spoilered for size. If you've never seen the Justice League Cartoon, I highly reccomend it.
EDIT (sorry):
Pretty much yeah.

So really good shows to watch for this would be superman the animated series, batman the animated series, justice league obviously, and the justice league unlimited. The first two would be series that'll give you windows into both this version of bats, and this version of supes. They're what came before justice league which we're basically at the start of. Justice league unlimited is the future.
All four series are excellent, and recommended to be watched in any way you can get. The first two, at least, would fall under past events. The third is a choice of if you prefer context for not just what's happening, but what's changed, or if you prefer maximum surprise. If you do decide you want to watch everything the start of unlimited is bringing in more capes as regular team members. Like... Lots more. One could even say unlimited.
If you don't wanna do any of that, due to a lack of time, or a lack of effort to spend on the recommendation of a stranger, I'll endeavor to give context when you have questions. Fair warning to prefer watching the stuff? It obviously hits different when seen versus when explained.

If he's gonna make a solar beam cannon will it be variable wavelengths so he can switch it to red sunlight and blue sunlight for when kryptonian nonsense pops up?

Actually good point. I was only thinking in buff potential. Portable red sun projector to mess with justice lords and similar. Good training tool to get Clark some dodge or avoidance instincts in a safe environment. I love expanding on uses for tinker shit.

Another thing would be to reproduce the effects of different colors of kryptonite. One of them gives humans the powers of a kryptonian if I remember correctly.

That.... Probably significantly harder, and if it gets out could lead to supes haters trying to raid the lab. I'm not saying it has NO merit, but it's far from the free money on the table of refining the sun gun. I could see some messing with it as a possible future option Fulcon could use.

Thanks! And it was just his imagination.
The Infinity +1 Mace will smash everyone's face in.
Attraction cares not for the matters of reason.
Yeah, just because there's attraction doesn't mean they're going to get down and dirty right there, with everyone watching. The furthest I could see it going during the invasion is banter.
Again, I must recommend the cartoon. It's really good.
Is that so? I was wondering where she came from.
It's going to be reconfigured into a shoulder cannon following the invasion, because this is too good to pass up.
Also, have a cookie.
Thanks for the comment!
Beautiful. Just beautiful. I love it when I get suggestions like this.
Have a cookie.
I'll consider it for the future.

Perhaps I should elaborate on why Kryptonite messing is harder. In almost every series where any kind of tinkering occurs, it's expensive, time consuming, and difficult to predict even for well funded labs stocked with high intellect. Most that do anything get as far as synthesizing green to explain why it's available, but rare, and Supes destroying some from a distance with heat vision doesn't cripple the supervillain involved.
Other colors? Who knows what you'll get? Could get give humans kryptonian powers yeah. That's a good result. Could get an anti kryptonian weapon like gold that depowers them without killing them until it's removed from their system, and their damaged cells get healed. Could get the turn Kryptonians berserk red, or the turn Kryptonians gay pink. Could get the turn Kryptonians evil black.
There's no clean, or assured way of knowing what you'll get when you spin that roulette wheel. Most places that try get random amounts of various colors in probabilistic rates. Black is like... the rarest, but it can still happen. If you knew, sight unseen, that this were the dice game you'd be playing, would you be keen on betting on it? If so you're braver than me.

Nth metal is also very compatible with soul shenanigans. Like reincarnation or being able to hold on to and manifest a body for it or empower it.
It can also be made to selectively ignore how things should be and messing with things on a conceptual level.
Edit:
Nth metal is arguably one of the least problematic of the super metals of DC. For all its potential for shenanigans it has been used to cause very little problems when compared to the others.

This could be a plot point later on. His stuff working better than it has any right to even if he's using the more common steel alloys and not the more fun and interesting kinds.
Interesting people looking to commission things for interesting purposes.
Yup, Flash is gonna be feeling something alright.
Aside from all the supers with enhanced perception and those trained to notice everything even subconsciously.
Alls well and good till you need to shoot and heal at the same time or switch relatively quickly.
So his telekinetic force field doesn't protect him from energy attacks?
He does have a telekinetic force field right? Does it only grant super strength? Or is the boost not as substantial as I thought it was?
Many Safety Features are great to have till they eat at precious few seconds during critical moments.
Why not just swap the hand that holds the gun instead of holstering it?
Put enough force and they'd explode. Even if it doesn't kill them they still need to reform which takes time. Hopefully enough to buy some time to field a more permanent solution.
Would be nice if he could figure out who are shapeshifters or non humans by the subtle differences in behavior that comes from living with an alternate body plan for most of the time or unique experiences that it affords.

Okay.
That's insulting.
Yup. Because it doesn't matter how much 'bleed through' the other disciplines give him, if he can't pass the Grappling check, he can't pass the Grappling check. Simple as that.
Yes, it does, actually. I just don't think you buy the premise.
He is a video game character, and is thus subject to video game rules. His skills are silo'd to preserve game balance. To permit bleed through would compromise the whole point of the game.
Can there be crossover effect? Sure. Will it be enough to compensate for a low enough score in the appropriate discipline? No. Why? Because this is a video game character who is subject to stuff like game balance.
No, he shouldn't.
Incidentally, that logical consistency you recommended? You should work on that yourself first before telling other people they need to do that, because bad faith criticism isn't constructive criticism. Savvy?
The Kinetic field is reinforcing the structural integrity.
Ew. Commissions.
I mean, you're right, but ew.
It's going to be a fun point of conversation, that is true.
Shhhhhh it's his inexperience talking.
Correct.
Why would it?
What do you mean? Without it he'd go splat against the structure without making a dent.
Because the hand that holds the healing beam and the hand that holds the pistol are already two different hands. If he holds the gun in the other hand, he can't grasp the handle of the healing beam.
And before you ask, having both out at once is like driving with both of your feet on the pedals - unsafe because mix-ups happen. Having only one foot to work the pedals prevents those mix-ups and it's the same principle here.
Hm, I'm not sure. I know Hawkgirl smashes them with her mace but her mace is the Infinity+1 Mace, so it can do that. I specifically remember in the cartoon one instance where Wonder Woman charged through one and it reformed an instant later.
After this invasion, it's never going to come up again. With the Alien's leeching off of psychic energy, it's a pretty-much flawless impersonation; they even mimic heartbeats and stuff. Even Superman couldn't tell the difference.

When I think of Super Strength I tend to expect things like misting people you punch without restraint. I also tend to forget that powers come in a spectrum with potentially multiple axis.
He has out of context powers, he could have some leeway. It could have been tied to multiple skill checks to show how out there and difficult it was to do so.
Energy field?
I think I'm missing something.
Edit:
If force doesn't solve it you're clearly not using enough of it. Kek.
I'd like to see it reform when it's molecules are spread several kilometers apart and or atomized.

Understandable, I forget too, sometimes.
Honestly, I didn't think about it. Maybe I'll revisit it at some point in the future because I'm still thinking about the Skill Max bonuses.
There's a difference between kinetic damage and thermal damage, though.
I just have a personal distaste for commissions. Several people have asked me to write stuff for them, but the answer is always no.
I think the Mace disrupts their nervous system and prevents them from maintaining the consciousness when it hits them, causing death.

At a small enough scale there is little difference between thermal and kinetic damage. Kek.
Edit:
Sleep causes a disruption of consciousness as well. Hmm… a modified sleep or dream spell could be quite the killer.

My entire reply was informing you that this is the case.
He is a video game character that follows video game logic. The second he engages in an activity that falls within the boundaries of one of his declared skills, that skill check overrides everything else.
And yet, for some impossible reason, you thought it best to spend an entire essay to hammer home an obviously erroneous point.
It's not even on the story itself! You're talking about prologue, written in broad strokes that only exists to catch the readers up to the actual story.
You say that, but then you wrote an entire paragraph trying to reinforce a point that is wrong. You're not trying to help me tell the story I want, you're trying to force the rules of the story to bend to your preferences.
An appeal to authority?

Humans have an innate desire for the last word, which must be trained or beaten out of them by life. This can be gentle, like getting into multiple encounters like this and realizing they don't bring joy, thus optimize them ending quickly by simply blocking and moving on when you know where it's going.
It can be... not... gentle via having these encounters in meatspace where things can escalate to violence.
I had the first, and watched the second.

Maybe. Most creatives have crippling self-esteem issues stemming from difficult childhoods. Because they spend so much time trying to solve the problems of their lives, they develop the mental mindscapes necessary in order to be, well, creative. Because you get creative when you're trying to solve a problem.
This guy is a published author and for some reason felt the need to criticize a story they found on a relatively obscure board with themes that honestly don't have that much mass appeal. The criticism was on one of the smallest and most unimportant parts of the story. Completely irrelevant, but he wasted a few hundred words expounding on it. You know why that is? Envy.
He's a published author and felt like I was a better writer than he was, so he felt the need to try to 'put me in my place' under the guise of constructive criticism. Unfortunately for him, I've grown up around stupidity like that. It's just not until recently that I figured out what to do about it.
EDIT: Seemed to have dropped the point. TL;DR: He read some of my work, got insecure and wanted to promote his book and then tried to bully me.
FURTHER EDIT: When you announce your departure, you're inviting the OP to re-engage with you to further the dialogue and potentially snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. But, I already had him ignored, so it didn't matter.
