    They'd probably dissect her if they knew she existed, so I doubt that she'd have a problem with it.

    Ah, so this bit of the spider guild isn't affiliated with OL's spider queen waifu.

    Who have no way to stop something that appears in orbit and instantly drops a giant kinetic impactor on the planet.


    In which case why is Paul assuming that the Spider Guild actually knows who this unidentified Spider Lantern is?

    I mean... Of course he assumed right because otherwise he just needlessly murdered billions... But it's still an assumption.

    Paul and the other Lanterns?

    And several JL members are fast and strong enough to intercept impactors.


    Fear Corps: attacks

    Paul: causes immense terror

    You're missing the "instantly" part of this.

    Because in the minute or two it takes anyone up to and including Paul to even hear about the arrival and bombardment it will have already happened. You know... Just like what happened to the Spider Guild planet...

    I don't think Earth and the Spider Guild are close enough, distance-wise, to perform instant bombardment. Paul can do it this quick because he's a Super-Lantern that can teleport. They'd need to mobilize, which is sort of impossible when the most powerful Lantern in the Universe is indiscriminately slaughtering your people.

    There's also the fact that there's both time travellers and pre-cogs on earth, who could warn the people capable of stopping such an attack.

    Earth in the DC universe is a Really bad place to attack.

    He kind of was. He had the juice to effortlessly slam-dunk a starship out of orbit after all.

    This does seem to be a bit premature. While I tend to stick to a pretty hardline "death to raiders/slavers/pirates" policy in regards to fiction, this is a rather radical thing to do without sure confirmation.

    Well all I can say now is don't stop and be thorough.

    Of course, we're all assuming that the monk who said they saw the yellow sigil on the spider guilder was telling the truth.

    You think fucking with a planet killer is a good idea? You think that poking the avarice elemental's host and taking/destroying their stuff is an idea that DOESN'T result in vast swaths of your species/empire dead? Do you think it's wise to provoke someone who you watched genocide a species?

    Not to be too rude, but at a certain point it's Darwinism and Paul has become very good at disproportionate responses.

    That brings up a question: after OL deals with Sinestro and claims the authorities of First Lantern (by conquest), who might OL select as a replacement Clarissi for the Yellow Lantern Corp?

    I ask this because I do not expect Paragon Paul to want to dual wield Yellow and Orange, and honestly founding Yet Another Lantern Corps feels like the sort of thing Paragon would love to see happen, but hate to handle all the paperwork of for the second time.

    Can anyone even be Illustres twice?

    Only choices I could think of on short notice whom Paul would know could even use a yellow power ring are Batman and Scarecrow.

    There's also Melinoe.

    She's able to make people afraid with her powers, so she may be a good candidate.

    Though I don't know if she'll accept given everything that's happened between her and Paul.

    Yes give her a ring. I'm sure it won't be misinterpreted at all.

    She should be an excellent ring slinger however.

    I'm sure Hinon or another Controller/Maltusian will have something to say on the matter, even OL comes up short to the various species of Guardians.

    That something might be "Nice~ *fingerguns at OL*" but they would say something.

    I think the fleet left, but Earth has two Lanterns in Stewart and that Russian woman, as well as two Honor Guard Lanterns in Gardner and Jordan.

    There's also Dame Carrol and Ghi'ata, who are both Violet Lanterns.

    There's also Arissa, the elf like girl who joined the Team.

    Presumably the fleet of ships parked in the sector. And if they get close enough, the Justice League. And if they take long enough for a Green Lantern to send Paul a message, well, they'd instantaneously be back at square one.

    Also, Earth is probably pretty unknown still at this point. They're more likely to try and get concessions out of Legion or the Orange Lanterns.

    Earth has something of a reputation in most versions of the DC Universe. Sort of a 'Avoid if all possible, crazy shit happens here. You don't want the attention of this crazy primitive world'

    The Spider Guild's fleet didn't stop Paragon from normal FTLing in and blasting their planet before they could respond, so not sure why you think anyone else would be able to stop the Spider Guild lanterns from doing the same to Earth.

    Because Paul makes a point of thinking about how he, with one of the single most advanced pieces of partially metaphysical technology in the entire multiverse that he has mastered the use of, overpowered their interdiction fields maybe?

    The fact that OL is way stronger then an average lantern that we have seen having problem with thing like interdiction field? The fact that they have a lantern and yet still tried to stop OL from FTL show that they though it would work because it probably did on their lantern.

    Why does he need a new corps? Just fold all the colors he controls into his current corps. I'm surprised he hasn't tried to get Alan signed on as an earth-bound representative of the orange corps. Send him a few videos of what the "peaceful" Reach do to worlds they claim, and he'd be in for another world war. Maybe try and steal one of the green's eventually, even if he has to make his own green ring to do it. Not as if he hasn't sown doubt into the minds of the Green's most powerful lanterns. He's got dibs on a sapphire too.

    Dox is more than capable of altering his tactics to account for the emotional techniques of other ring colors.
