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

Bullet points. Why?

The answer to the third one is 'yes'. I think the answer to the others is 'no'.

 

Ms. Caryle -> Ms. Carlyle in one spot that I noticed.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

In the He-Man universe is Man at Arms Teela's biological father or just adoptive?

 

IIRC, Man At Arms is Teela's adoptive father/uncle while her actual father was Fisto.


I can never get over some of these names, holy shit the designers knew exactly what they were doing.

 

'He-Paul' ?

No real details other then Keldor getting dead-ish and the others either likewise, or in jail, super ultra mega jail or....I think something was mentioned of 'thrown into a tesseract'?

 

In the 2002 series it is implied that Man at Arms is Teela's biological father as well as adoptive but I don't recall it ever being 100% confirmed. For every other universe for all I know it is just Adoptive but I am not the expert.

 

Ohh, shit, now I'm worried that he may become an alcoholic.

The guns may have been trying to get her to kill people who could reform or who's actions could lead to a lot of good being done.

Alva probably doesn't fall into either category.

'Now that you've'

'from the thirties'

'I've known'

To be fair, a person blowing a hole through their head isn't a permanent thing in your universe.

No shit.

He's a bit of a psycho.

 

Aww, that violet between them was wholesome.

I think Alan has nothing to blame himself for. I think he gave her the hope of being free from the guns and she took it.

 

' reaching '

 

I can't imagine anyone missing cocktails from the 1920's much, as I understand they were invented largely to cover up just how nasty the booze often tasted what with the raw alcohol and being cut with stuff like formaldehyde.

 

I see he isn't taking things well. It's probably not the first time he's seen someone die, of course, nor would it be the first he's seen someone commit suicide (Or at least attempt it...) But thinking that he triggered it, that might be weighing on him.

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

I would assume he's trying to maintain his veneer of innocence. Not that it seems to work too well on the local heroes.

Nah, he'd only do it if he judged it needed.

Would killing Alva right now improve matters for Dakota City? Probably not. Exposing his criminal affairs? That might help things.

No doubt the sort used to make cocktails. Still, any drink is fine. Bet it sounds a bit comedically stereotypical for him, though. Orange Juice?

In any other situation, it would probably have ended the fight then and there. In a good way I mean...

Concerning. Suggests the lady has sunken herself uncomfortably deep into her role. Or the Guns aren't leaving her much freedom to feel.

Ah, the joy of companies 'retiring' flavours you love and no-one else seemed to. I know that feeling with potato crisps (especially tomato sauce-flavoured... )

Good, distract him from the thoughts of Crimson Avenger.

Yeah, he isn't that old, after all. Being in his nineties would put his childhood in the twenties... Wonder if he was into the pulps? His costume idea had to come form somewhere.

Not like he's hurting for money.

You didn't have to say anything, OL. Your face was doing all the talking for you...

To be fair, not everyone likes alcohol.

Would she have known that, though? I mean, I know she was a lawyer. But she may well not have been thinking clearly right then.

Sounds likely, but there's still something else you haven't thought of, isn't there?

Ah, he knows OL so well.

It might not even have been a willing choice on their part. A kill-switch in whatever magical binding is on the Guns, to prevent capture and destruction. A safety release for the host to use if they can't feasibly complete a 'contract'...

On the other hand, she still feels the pain of dying. Just as much as she feels her contractee's pain when it forms.

Maybe checking on the origin of the Guns, too? That's still a dangling loose end.

Don't forget, OL, he still has a big mass of Will in there. He's not quitting until this is done.

And if nothing else, a Lantern is very good at heavy lifting.

And if the Guardians should take note of how well Hope and Will work together... Well, all the better. Perhaps one day there'll be a Blue Corps for Alan to serve in...

Quite literally trawling through the sea of data that is the Alliance, eh? Seeing what gets caught in the net? Sometimes the biggest things start out that way.

For a modern person, probably.

The closest thing they'd have is a rich landowner's personal guards, I suspect. Otherwise, if a bandit group showed up to a small farm, well... It came with a death sentence for a reason.

And when the criminals are running around with sci-fi weapons or enhanced physiognomy, normal cops can't do much anyway...

Like the son he never had. Well, in this universe, at least.

So, Zatara didn't have something waiting in the wings to capture Crimson Avenger, eh? Not this time, at least. With any luck, the next time they spot her, they might be better equipped to take her alive. If nothing else, they'll know to prevent her lining up a shot on herself too. Still, she could do a lot of damage before she goes big again...

 

Resilient, and probably a bit prideful about it as well. After all, if he's going to want to be a resilient person, it'll be because he thinks that's the best sort of person for him to be.

 

Dawwwwwwwww!

 

Maaan, Alan is definitely best bro. Wish he got a bit more screen time.

 

The comics make it even better really.

 

...the fuck did I just watch?
Mr Zoat, if you have any context, I'd love to know it. The Tango ad, in particular, was... interesting.

 

I bet they just told the actor the character's name, and his grin didn't leave from that moment until they finished Revenge of the Sith.

 

I think that's alright.

Thank you, corrected.

Tango was a brand known for crazy adverts. Try watching some of the rest.

 

A fan hypothesi is that Fisto was gay and the whole adoptive father thing was a cover because Ethernia is very traditional and Man-At-Arms and the Sorceress had an affair but didn't marry because if they did their daughter would be a target.

In other words, it was a way to have a child of an unmarried woman in a children's cartoon.

 

"P-Man", surely?

 

Unlikely, even if it was the wizard would need to construct such an emanation and make it more potent than the emenations of hell itself to really have a significant impact, and keep itupall the time.

 

I always assumed the way it works was the Danner formula altered the biology of the person to allow them to perform super-human feats. The only energy needed was the energy to create the formula and implement the changes once injected into a person. So it's less like the Garrik formula making them draw energy from the Speed Force more a magic super drug that makes the person invulnerable/super-strong. Though I could be wrong tbh.

 

Remember, this was made with help from some unknown person/being. Paul thought of it possibly being a New God, but had no way to investigate further. I wonder if this will ever come back up?

 

I don't remember that. When was that said?
BTW does anyone know what vantavendi means? I've googled it and just got this fanfic as a result.

 

I don't remember when, but Paul was speculating on how the Danner Formula could have been created and thought it might have been developed by a New God. As for the title, Mr Zoat says it means

Though he didn't say in what language.

 

In the comics, which Zoat isn't really following much I admit, the Danner enhanciles get stronger with age.

Iron Monroe, in the prime of his life, was weaker than his father who looked like this

While Iron was in turn stronger than the Sons of Dawn because they were enhanced with an inferior version of the formula made with substitutions Hugo could find in the Amazon rainforest instead of an American lab.

 

And now those substitutions will be provided by a nature goddess.
