Taking down. Remember the 'you've got a future' line?I wonder... has Peter recruited Toyman? I recall him being instrumental in distracting, and later taking out, Killer Frost during Grod's final coup.
Because he doesn't really have anything to do with them. Plenty of technological uplift has occurred, but most of it doesn't relate to things the Justice League is involved with. In addition, Peter doesn't have access to anything like the database that the SI does.
I don't have any plans to. But who knows?Looks like episode 86 is called Realigned. Hmm. Hey Zoat, are you doing anything special for episode 100?
Not as many as you would think. It's not that hard to work out what sort of person Batman is likely to be. People have guessed Bruce Wayne before. And people have prank called the Manor before.I mean in the context, Peter calling Wayne Manor was a lot of red flags. Peter implying or outright stating he had access to a nuke and could or thought he could deploy it against a hard target controlled by aliens.

Thank you. That's all much clearer now.Since a lot of people seemed confused about the multiversal storyline here is cheat sheet that is completely original and not based on anything else.
Peter lands on Earth 12 during Batman TAS.
Superman TAS and the first season of JLU happens
Then the Justice Lords from Earth 50 come in Earth 12 in: Multi-verse Face Punching Episode 1: The Phantom Punch
A few months later the Pauls land on various uninverses with various Rings, including on Earth 16 and Earth -14 (Baul)
Note: For simplicity in the explanation I will consider Earth 16 to be OL and Earth 16* to be Grayven.
A few months later (after Baul has spent some time in the Syndicate) Luthor tries to stop Owlman from blowing up all of reality and out of nowhere he finds these clone-like variants of the Management to help him in the Decapitation in... Multi-verse Face Punching Episode 2: Attack of the Punchers
A few months later Baul's planet is a mess so he comes to Paul in Earth 16 for help... (even though he is a villain) in Multi-verse Face Punching Episode 3: Revenge of the Punched
A few months after that Thanagarians attack Earths 12 and 50 in the JLU S2 finale.
In Earth 12 canon JLU happens, but with Peter figuring out what is happening and calling Alfred to offers to nuke the Thanagarian facility.
Note: In the previous episodes Peter probably didn't even notice anything happening.
However Earth 50 (the Justice Lords) had no way to deal with them so they asked help from Earth 16*'s Grayven so we had the sidestory: Grayven: A Multi-verse Face Punching Story
Fast forward a few more months to today, JL 12 is asked once again to help Earth -14 in Multi-verse Face Punching Episode 4: A New Punch
In the end we have a temporary peace and the reason for that is the actions taken in the side-story set immediately before episode 4 by Paul of Earth 16 in Orange One: A Multi-verse Face Punching Story
I should note that I made the above with the implication that Grayven and Paul's universes are part of the same multiverse.
If not, then in the equivalent of main storyline's Grayven, Lord Batman might summon someone else and in any case the end result is something between the planet exploding, SHADE using anti-life on the planet, or the 'heroes' winning.
Similarly in Grayven's side if Orange One and Revenge of the Punched don't happen, then Earth -14 is left in a state that is something between post-apocalyptic and a USA that's a police state by Wilson after exterminating the Syndicate (and possibly continuing for the rest of the world)

uumm what, we haven't reached episode 6 and it's Revenge of the SithI like the nod to the original title of "Return of the Jedi" being "Revenge of the Jedi". Very nice.
There were probably some background fights that didn't happen, but most of the ones you saw on-screen did.Could you give kind of a rundown on what is different? What kind of differences there are due to the uplift? The people Peter recruited, has that seen a shift in the rogues gallery lineup for various Earth 12 heroes, or were there just some absences meaning there are not so many bad guys to fight?
Peter doesn't know. After Luther went on the run a few of his employees indicated that they wouldn't be totally averse to hunting him down and 'finding out'. He asked them not to.What interests me is the one 'employee' that turned on Peter that was probably a LexCorp plant. What does that mean? Lex sent her to fuck with Paul because Lex just hobbles any competition? Because Peter was gaining traction and LexCorp's market share was dwindling? Lex wanted his agent to kill or permanently disable Peter so Lex could do a hostile takeover and strip all Peter's company assets or something?
Genetics aren't anything like as easy as animated series make them look. With Barbara, she's only recently become sure what it even was she did that made it go wrong.Also a little disappointed by how abrupt the meeting with Batman was, but the main thing I'm curious about is Cheetah still looking like Cheetah.
With Paul's resources allowing her to go legit instead of using crime to fund her research, and splicing generally being reversible, I'm honestly surprised they haven't already restored her human form. Even without using a power ring.
She worked an anime convention once. Never again.Maybe keep the ear and the tail to drive all the weebs mad with envy.
As an autistic, I really hate that term. Even if it was made up by other autistics. It's pointlessly elitist in a way that makes no damn sense.Less 'not capable of thinking like a human,' more 'no-longer thinks quite like a neurotypical human.' Non-neurotypical humans still have human brains, and there are some who probably think in a manner close enough to ParaPaul to count.
I'm not quite sure. I think that there's an election to have someone fill the spot for the remainder of the term, but I'll have to look it up.On another topic: American readers. If the President nominates a sitting Senator to a cabinet position, what happens to their seat in the Senate? Is there a by-election, is someone nominated to sub in for them or are they expected to do both jobs?
Eh. I mean the terminology fits. A standard model of the human brain. Though I will admit it sounds a little douchey now that i think about it.
No, it was a metahuman ability that awoke during that ordeal. IMO it's more likely that it was merging with an Embodiment that was the trigger, not the enlightenment itself.Wait. Wasn't Paul's ability to see emotions a function of enlightenment?
As far as I can tell, they have to do both jobs. The President doesn't have the power to remove someone from the Senate, especially not against the wishes of the senator's electorate as expressed by the regularly-scheduled winning vote. The Senator in question might turn down the appointment if they didn't think they could do a good job of serving both positions. The Senate might choose to reject the appointment if they see a potential conflict of interest. But beyond that, I see no concrete reason why one COULDN'T.On another topic: American readers.

Yeah, I don't think that's the case on Earth 12. If Morgana le Fay had tried that shit in Hellblazer, Map would have had her guts for starters.I would be surprised that none of the justice league ended up with Starman tech, but then I remembered that earth 18 JL had been fighting the good fight for like a decade without substantial integration of supervillain tech, or even the super tech of the rest of the heroes.
I'm also a bit surprised that Paul 12 has seemingly totally failed at finding any magic contacts whatsoever. I mean, even considering that Hellblazer takes place in the densest region of magic users in the world, it definitely seems to point towards there being a sufficient quantity that he'd be able to find them, if he was doing as massive project like this.
Ah. Well, yes, I suppose voluntarily resigning from the position is also an option. I don't see it being a mandatory thing, but on the other hand I do see it being a reasonable expectation that could cause the Senate to refuse to confirm the appointment if the nominee in question doesn't.Mike Pompeo resigned from the Senate to become CIA Director, which triggered a special election. The special election was contested by other parties.
Paul know perfectly well how dangerous an orange ring can be and has been immune to it since a while ago (and actually teach his orange lanterns how to control their greed so they don't go totally crazy) , since they are both the same person then the only reason Peter didn't use his orange ring is because he landed way earlier in the dc comics timeline and either Alan Scott was still using his lantern or wasn't around in the first place (don't know know much about earth 12) and his limited charge ring mean he rarely used it and so clearly saw it effect on his mind when he toke it off and put it on again.I mean... From the way he described the ring he, unlike Paul, realizes exactly how dangerous to it's user the thing is.
Earth 12
"Peter Wynne, thirty eight years of age. Appeared out of thin air from a parallel universe nine years ago. You claimed to have no idea how it happened."
- Does this mean that Peter didn't body mod himself upon arrival like Paul did? It seems un-Batlike for Bruce to make no mention of a 38 year old looking like he's a teenager.

He did rejuvenate himself. However, he hasn't put the ring on for a while and gave his actual age on his Extraordinary Visa form.Does this mean that Peter didn't body mod himself upon arrival like Paul did?

Why did they believe him? Wouldn't they have suspected that he was a teenager trying to pass himself of as an adult? I mean as far as we know he looks to be in his mid teens.He did rejuvenate himself. However, he hasn't put the ring on for a while and gave his actual age on his Extraordinary Visa form.
Well Depending on how much events followed the comics Peter may well have either saved David, Fixed Teds cancer or Saved Ted and opal city from old man Mist's plot to nuke the city.hink about that. 9 years ago in 1996 Peter was told full stop the cosmic rod was not for sale. How positive was the relationship between Peter and the Knights and Ted Knight to have that level of trust? To give Theodore Knight's business partner, not a fellow hero, not a family member, another cosmic rod solely for Peter's protection?
Yes Harley what can I do for you?"Look, Peter I understand where you're coming from but Isley is holding out until we're carbon neutral, and Snart says the strike holds til you give up the name of Mister Element."
Custom (maybe law?) is that the Senator will resign. This actually happens with some frequency, and the Senators always resign.
It does trigger a by-election... but not immediately. The election happens on a schedule according to the laws of the state the Senator comes from, and in the meantime a temporary Senator is appointed by the Governor of the state. The Senator serves until the by-election, which in some cases can be a long time... months or more.
This has occasionally had political significance, as the state Governor may not be from the political party of the resigning Senator and is free to appoint a Senator from his own political party instead! It can potentially alter the balance of power in the Senate.

Sir Percival wasn't taking it entirely seriously. And he might just look young.Why did they believe him? Wouldn't they have suspected that he was a teenager trying to pass himself of as an adult? I mean as far as we know he looks to be in his mid teens.

Quoting myself to add something that may be of interest to Mr Zoat since he's writing a work of fiction.
The bit about a Governor being able to appoint a temporary Senator is actually a plot device used in American media. Since the Governor can appoint anyone they want, as long as they are an American citizen and sufficient age, this scenario can be used to catapult unlikely figures into the middle of the halls of power even if they have no political experience and have never stood in an election. It was most famously used in the movie "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" but has been used now and then in other media. While Paul/Grayven could not likely themselves become Senators due to age/citizenship issues, there's always the chance of someone in their entourage being appointed for Reasons.
