    'presence'

    Well Melmoth wasn't completely lying about other Sheeda.

    Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

    First the time they tried to kill Superman and now this.

    Again, hah hah ha ha ha haa hah hah!



    One day you may become absolutely livid.

    Probably smugness because he's more famous than Paul.

    ahh, i see why she was attacking Paul with his own desire

    since same color are effective against Lantern, if Hal was attack by his own Will then he would have been in a pickle

    but Paul have Enlightenment so he can just wave it off and reabsorb it

    cool ability but way too specialize

    Maybe not.

    If the power is to try to cause a conflict in their primary light then it's a bit over specialized given how many ring slinger types don't give a fuck, and how the higher tier enlightened ones will ignore it anyway.

    If it's to try to hit them with their own desires that's a bit more useful. Orange undermines a lot of the other colors by nature, including itself, and if she's able to actually get skilled with manipulating the orange light there's a lot she can do with even restricted manifestations. Paul's all things strive for example.

    Lady Aeres, Highborn of the Sheeda and a perfect killing machine. As deadly as she is beautiful!

    vs

    ... Mildly Annoyed, some Hal Jordan fanboy wearing some cheap 'Made in China Maltus' power ring knockoff (he couldn't even get the colour right!)

    Is it even a question who will win this "fight"?

    A nice analogy. After what is desire but the hunger for more than what you need to survive? That, after all, is what empowered the Ophidian in the first place.

    To be honest, if you hit up most of the Security Council nations, the rest will probably take the hint and give you what you need. I'm sure word is already spreading amongst allied nations.

    And nuking London would be one hell of a last resort. I have to wonder how the demon-worshippers are getting on, though. Bet Hell's getting a few interesting summonings...

    Oh, hell, a random encounter. Since when did this turn into a JRPG?

    ...Hardly the most effective weapon. I'm going to enjoy watching him take that Sheeda's attacks and beating them over the head with them. As in, literally smacking them with the energy bolts like they were clubs!

    Yes, getting in the way of more worthwhile jobs. We've seen what you think of that sort of thing.

    Oh, boy. This pointy-eared moron is in way over their head, aren't they? Wonder how they're taking the fact he absorbed their attack?

    When it's going to be this easy, why not taunt them. It's not like they can hurt you with that weapon.

    Of course, that doesn't mean they don't have other weapons. Might want to take care of this quickly.

    Like trying to burn a fire dragon with a torch. You kind of need something bigger. Like the Megadeth fire spell (if I remember right). Unsoakable damage for the win.

    Give them a little education in who they're dealing with, eh? I doubt they can adjust strategies in the field, especially if it requires making a new trooper with altered genes.

    A telepath, eh? And looking for Sivana? Looks like the Queen is planning on some measured retribution for his insults. Like the whole 'energy blast into the Hunstman destroying stuff back home' thing.

    Reasonable desires all. And clearly not the person he's looking for...

    Heh, that'll get them seething. After all, what better way to insult an enemy, than by ignoring their threat?

    Huh. I didn't realise Sheeda went in for personal flight devices. This must be an Elite soldier. Still going to get her ass handed to her, though.

    Yeah, might have useful information. I doubt diplomacy will go well, especially if they're heavily indoctrinated to the Queen's will. Which they almost certainly will be...

    Just so he can log it in his report, of course. It's not like she'll last long.

    A Highborn, eh? Basically a Sheeda Super... Super-villain, because Sheeda.

    Honestly, do you know how much work is involved in running an entire planet? Especially one that's been razed back into the Stone Age?

    You assume she bothers to think at all. What the Queen commands, and all that. Oh, she might have a little more free will, but only as far as she needs to discriminate between targets...

    I'm surprised. I thought there'd be more people with that desire. But then, he does have other filters applied... Like 'Hurt the weak peasants'. 'Please the Queen'. 'Die well'.

    Yep, utterly indoctrinated in the Sheeda way of life. Melmoth wasn't kidding about their liking for causing suffering, was he?

    ... :confused: I'm sorry, you'll have to wait a few minutes, while OL finishes laughing... Incidentally, Queen Glory-Bra wanted to offer Hal Jordan dominion? Did she really expect that to work, especially after Sinestro? And why would she be so worried about a Spectrum-user?

    Seriously, is she colourblind? Wouldn't she have been told Hal Jordan is green? <facepalm> Fucking knife-ears...

    That's how many now? Might have to prepare some manner of apocalypse-proof datalog system to keep records down the line. Something that can survive just about anything and be operated by the dumbest of cavepeople...

    "I have not heard of this 'Mildly Annoyed'. What manner of name is that?"

    I'm honestly curious as to how she would have fought a Green Lantern anyway? Would she have been firing fear? What is she even using to duplicate Spectrum energy? I mean, I know it's not that hard. Metahumans can do it, but... This raises so many questions...



    ...along the edges and over the head.
    It also has a decidedly female cast to it...

    They were killed during the Angel invasion.

    The non demon worshipers are probably still alive though, but they may have decided to go straight after their compatriots were angel fried.

    I have a feeling OL's reputation is going to take a lot of hits after more people discover what he did for Sivana.

    Most people may mostly know him for the cake and the eyes thing, and may think he's a bit crazy, and with this whole pardon thing they may honestly lose a lot of trust in him.

    Nope.

    Power ring=bullshit god tier powers.

    That's why she'd be worried about a Spectrum user.

    They may not know what color the rings are and just know about some of their capabilities.

    In the words of Abridged Guru:

    "I do not know what this 'Mildly Annoyed' is, but it sounds disappointing"

    In the words of God from the Darkmatter2525 channel on Youtube.

    Quite possible, even likely considering that the Matrusians and Necrons had very different origins and developmental histories.

    There's also the fact that we don't know which edition P'aul is in, so the Necrons having that kind of tech might not even be a thing.

    They were? Are you guessing/hoping they were or was it an actual plot point? I don't remember it but it's been a while since the angel invasion plotline.

    Does that mean that poor Mr Thornton is dead as well?

    I'll be honest, that sounds... a bit contrived but as far as offscreen issue resolutions go it isn't a bad one. Still, the angel invasion plotline wasn't completely pointless... Huh. Ok! Awesome.

    Considering the daemonettes were an older edition version? That might be P'aul noping their psychic abilities, or it might be that he's in an earlier edition. Weak evidence towards the point, anyway. Probably not first or second edition, though, since I think the Tau were a third edition addition.

    I would think he might be more insulted that a species the claims to know everything about him (Hal) would believe he would bend the knee and agree to be the ruler of Earth in exchange for collaborating. Or maybe just not care and use his Will to beat the stuffing out of these sadistic abominations.

    Good point, but I still think he'd try to rub it into Paul's face that he's more well known than him, at least from time to time if he thinks Paul's ego is getting too big.

    Or his future is one of those where Earth/Humanity gets destroyed/turned to one gestalt mind/energy beings instantly at some point before a significant number of extrasolar colonies is established. So the reason no one from that future ever comes back is because there's no humans left to come back.

    In the latest canon subspace is more of a Krork thing, and not exclusively them either.

    In The Beast Arises the first warning the Imperium got that Waaagh!Beast was building a subspace-based Webway-alike was all the other creatures that live in subspace naturally being forcibly materiallized on human worlds as a side effect of the construction.

    Then a different much much more dangerous Dynasty would be heading for Paul.




    What Warhammer calls Subspace and what DC calls Subspace are different things.

    DC's subspace has more in common with the dimensional technology utilized by the Necrons then what Warhammer calls subspace.

    advice (though I'm not the first to offer this correction, you missed the last one)

    Either "be offering it" or "offer it"

    lest

    Is the SI back down to just one ring again? Or has he just been burning that much charge in this fight?
