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

The other Inversions are demons who hang around Atrocitus because of all of the suffering he will inflict. They're not exactly deep in any canon.

 

Wait, they’re really demons? Huh. I though they were just alien magic-users that became dictators (only some of whom were genocidal). Figured they’d be equals who’d used terrible rituals to enhance themselves, hence why they survived crucifixion.

Whatever then… DC writers are weird.

 

Hell, I think Atrocitus was also originally intended to be a demon before they changed him into an alien that looks something like a stereotypical depiction of a demon.

 

Popcorn

 

Technology and or bloodmagic.

In fact, in the actual comics if you drain a ring completely of it's charge you can just recharge it from another "Light" and it would work as if it were a ring of that color.

 

Yeah. IIRC Atrociticus being one of the Inversions was a shoehorned-in retcon; he's the one who doesn't really fit.

 

I believe the original depiction the Oans made the Central Power Battery out of "solidified psychic power." Which of course begs the question, how are the rings technological at all if they are made out of solidified psychic power that the Guardians made without the assistance of any actual technology?

Then a Flash storyline revealed that rings and lanterns are made out of Oarum. Maybe the other way around. Ditto yellow rings made out of a substance mined on Qward, named Qwardite.

Fighting Dr Polaris who has magnetic powers, he actually made Kyle punch himself because Kyle's ring was apparently a magnetic substance, which implies the Oarum origin. Why would a psychic crystal be magnetic?

So as is often the case with DC it's a matter of which canon you like.

The red rings were made out blood thanks to magic.

The Star Sapphire rings were made from the crystal that grew out of hawkman/girl's skeleton.

Indigo rings were made out of an underground river of compassion.

Black and white rings were made whole cloth by cosmic entities.

 

Crazier and crazier.
These square rings make a circle.

 

Paul better tell him “I told you so.”

 

And Guy is much stronger than Jordan.

'die too'

So this is Malvolio's version of the Honden, or ar least a transportation technique.

Add a "

Probably just a transportation technique.

Pail always loves saying this.

Of course he does.

'stops'

No time to be zen, Priest.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

Which pose?

 

I choose to believe that it was a jojo pose.

 

Welp, looks like he did pull a Goku, and now he can teleport via Will. Well done, Guy and friends. At this point, all OL can hope for is that Malvolio takes a moment to look before he leaps... And that ain't likely.

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Dang Lanterns, bullheaded as ever.

And it'll do as much good as for hunters with sticks did against a mammoth....

Save it for after the fight, along with the 'I told you so's...

If only so you can kill him later for being a twit.

Now, will he follow through on that promise in the heights of stubbornness the Green Light can produce? We'll see...

Hmm... A glimpse of Will's Realm, or merely a powerful wormhole? Given that Greediporting is basically instantaneous, I'm leaning towards the latter... But OL did take longer when he first started using it...

I'm not sure what it means, but clearly it's not a pleasant term...

Not bad. I assume that was some manner of comms call, as managed without the Ring VI.

From the looks of it, he's not in a talking mood. This is going to need some fast talking.

Though I bet it was one hell of a trip. Not like many people before them had seen the Earth from space, nor the Moon up close...

Just in case he thinks you're coming at him with intent. Good move.

Unfortunately, you've been foiled by Guy's bullheadedness...

And I can see Malvolio giving him a 'Really?' look.

And the Look deepens. I really don't think he's in the mood, OL.

After all, they were probably trying to work out what sort of construct Malvolio had used... I doubt a Crumbler would have done much, no matter how large.

Well, at least he isn't travelling FTL yet. Which is going to make him a very visible target for the Lanterns.

Has Guy ever backed down from a fight he thought he had a chance of winning, OL? Do you really expect him to start now?

For all you know, his aura will blow them away before they make contact with anything solid...

Oh, he's gonna hold you to that, Guy. While he patches you up.

I have the feeling the flame is working more like a tiny swarm of constructs. No crumbler will snuff more than a tiny bit of it...

Someone never learnt to ignore natural reflexes while moving under Ring power, did he?

Then do something, OL. You're going to piss someone off no matter what you do, so why not restrain all of them?

Problem with backing off is, Malvolio will simply pursue. And making an FTL hop to open distance probably feels like retreating...

I can see it. Unfortunately, his squad-mates' DPS leaves a lot to be desired.

Okay, that's impressive. Subverting a Lantern's constructs with a Light other than Orange? I suspect a lot of Malvolio's strength is that he doesn't know it's not possible...

Ah, going to haul Priest out of there and hope he can talk Malvolio down? At least we have confirmation that he is Enlightened.

I suppose busting the person the Green Lanterns came here to recover is one way to sort out the fight. Not going to make the 800-pound gorilla happy, but he's already in a bad mood, so I doubt things can get that much worse... Unless someone calls Ion in. Of course, there's still the matter of the bubble of Will holding Priest there.

 

Is this Guy? I feel like this isn't something he'd say, but it has green quotation marks.

 

It’s Priest. The lantern who used to be imprisoning LM, but is now imprisoned, instead.

 

There have been mentions of summoning Ion but I really think it would be weird to see Ion take much of a side in Green on Green violence. But then IDK much about DC outside fanfics.

 

I'm half expecting Priest to just walk out of the prison like "Look I could have gotten out at any time but I was trying this whole diplomatic thing. Way to ruin it guys."

 

The issue where Hal enters the Green Central Power Battery is called Willworld. Mr Zoat may use that as the name for Willpower's equivalent of the Honden of Avarice.

That should say 'what'.

 

Sure looks similar. Wonder if Malvolio did copy the technique by observing Paragon.

 

Are we not talking about Priest achieving Green Enligthenment?

I'm still waiting for one Paul to assemble a whole set, sooner or later.

I think we got Red, Orange, Yellow and Green so far.

 

Thank you, corrected.

The SI has never met Geoffrey Talbot, and probably never will. He died fighting the Sheeda, having never had his revenge.

 

who had yellow enlightnment

 

I think he's talking about Lord Protector.

 

Michael Siskin did too, though he's (probably) dead now.

Not sure how he managed this. I thought he would have just triggered them all in one go or something.

We now have three green-enlightened Lanterns in play (maybe four if Chaselon shows up- he's my first pick for who I would have sent to face someone like Malvolio). I'm not going to get my hopes up for Ion (because he's willpower, not hope) but things should be interesting.

 

That's sad.

At least the Angels destroyed the Caligula Club and killed the members.

At least the demon magic using ones.

Speaking of that particular shit hole, are its non magic using members trying to rebuild it, or are they trying to repent after their colleagues died because they're afraid of being stabbed with a flaming sword by an Angel?

 

They lack the required knowledge, and so limit themselves to more mundane corruption.

 

That just means more interuniversal travel
