It's a little weird that only one species name is capitalized.

Overconfidence has slain many a Lantern, yes.
Trouble with the local Grayven confirmed."The one with the-" I hold my right fist in her direction. "-yellow ring? The one who fixed your bones? Grayven Sixteen?"
'Resistance'? I thought Thanagar was in a better position...
Why would they bother?
Priorities, Grayven.She brandishes her own mace. "How about we deal with them first?"
Ow. She's not playing around, is she?She dives, viffing in the air to take hold of the shaft of the first soldier's mace with her left hand in order to turn aside his swing while her swing takes him in the unarmoured flank. There's a crack as the entire lower part of his torso skips sideways while still being tenuously connected to his upper torso and legs.
Some people in the thread would agree. Others, well...Lantern Grayven, I would be less quick to complain about how your enemies hand you victory.
Actual sensible retreat. Good to see.And then I fire, shooting the gunman on the right through the neck and neatly severing his head from his shoulders. And another and another. The remaining three get a clue and turn to flee, dropping face first towards the forest canopy, madly flapping for it.
Little hard to interrogate someone wetting themselves in terror...
Ah... Conquest living up to his role."The other Grayven won. The ships we sent back reached Thanagar just in time to pick up escape pods from the Thanagarian fleet as the gordanian fleet took up position to start landing troops." She looks around. "This planet is on the edge of what used to be the Thanagarian Empire. It was being build up as a staging area before it was abandoned due to the war starting. They've been using it as a base of operations."
I'm guessing it's a pun in some language...
Oh, really?"She didn't do anything the rest of us didn't. And.. she's… Changed more."
Oh, that's not good."Lantern Grayven, a Thanagarian Command Carrier has just entered orbit. You may wish to take cover."
Ah, Stormwatch has arrived?The sky blurs, trees explode into pulverised chips around me as I'm slammed into the ground! Through the clouds I see the glow-
Wisdom of Solomon, proving useful tactically.But this time I'm ready. A sonic cannon combined with a vertigo inducer forms on my right hand and fires. Batson's eyes widen and he's forced to evade, his flight slightly unsteady as the intense sound wave tears a swath through the forest below us. Another construct releases a cloud of noxious gas around him, but he seems-.
Oh, let's hope the Stamina of Atlas can cope...I take a purple death ray out of subspace and shoot him with it.
Thank you, corrected.
It's the Fleet from Thanagar.It's a little weird that only one species name is capitalized.
Now you have me picturing Grayven's Purple Death Ray playing the Mentos jingle every time it fires. "The Friendmaker!"
Here it is.I don't even know where to look for it if I wanted to go back and read that arc.
Actually he picked a great way to go easy and nonverbally communicate his intent: "feel my desire to murder you" shoots a healing beam. Then trust the Wisdom of Solomon to catch onOh, let's hope the Stamina of Atlas can cope...
Well, this is amusing. He can't go easy without outing himself as not the local Grayven, but he clearly doesn't want to go full-force.
People have already died. Perhaps you missed it because the Renegade didn't know their names, but most of those thanagarians are now dead. All of them have families.
Correction then. Superheroes gonna die.People have already died. Perhaps you missed it because the Renegade didn't know their names, but most of those thanagarians are now dead. All of them have families.
Yeah, easy to see that coming.He winces and tries to evade the beam but it's light speed. His best logical option-.
I raise a construct shield and hold it over my head as he flies underneath me.
One guess, Corpsman.The lightning bolt strikes, shattering my construct and hitting my body. My armour soaks most of it but I feel an uncomfortable tingling in my left arm. Why are my.. constructs this.. weak?
The joy of fighting Superheroes. Gotta wonder how Sinestro managed it.Fear. The thanagarians are either dead, flying away or staying back, and Batson's got the Courage of Achilles. I'm not scaring him, I'm not scaring Shayera and I'm… Probably not scaring Rayner.
Because you don't want this fight...My construct gun vanishes from my right arm and a new one appears on my left. It looks… Slightly more solid that its late yellow counterpart, which I suppose will have to do.
Serious drawback, that.Then the lightning hits, blasting down from wherever the Wizard's lightning comes from and pouring into my shield. The shield lasts a fraction of a second, but the lightning is mostly redirected around me and into Batson.
Too nice a boy, I guess.He glares, but it turns out that the most righteous youth on the planet just isn't very good at actual malice. He looks like a grumpy puppy or something.
How rude!A hammer construct hits me in the face, knocking me back in the air as it flies around and comes at me again!
So, how did he earn the ring in this universe? I doubt he's the most courageous person in the sector...Rayner's construct wall of American football players shatters under Shayera's assault, his follow up brick wall construct failing a moment later. That's the thing to do with Green Lanterns: don't give then time to focus. Keep them off balance. For a low-will high-creativity type like Rayner it should be particularly effective…
Joy of a berserker.Right… Up until the point where Shayera smashes his rib cage in and kills him because her mace doesn't have a stun setting.
Faceless Mooks and all. Not optimal, but..."You mean just now? Because they were trying to kill Shayera. And probably me. You have realised that-."
It's called Self-defense, kid."Strictly speaking, no, but keeping them alive seemed like an unnecessary risk to Shayera's safety. If you try and kill someone, you lose the right to complain about them trying to kill you. And anyway, they sent out a fake distress call. That's very illegal in most civilised regions. So yeah, heard a distress call, came here, got attacked."
"Not seriously! Believe me, if I'd been trying, you'd know it."
And who was holding the idiot ball for any of that to seem sensible?My eyes widen. "Okay, I know he's good at escaping stuff, but another me isn't going to use X-Pit style traps and tricks. He's just going to carry out an orbital strike on the area Scott is in if he feels that his authority is being undermined. Scott isn't even bullet proof. What the hell did you leave him on occupied Thanagar f-?"
He knows how they think, for sure."I don't know, Batson. Is Kara in a position to blindside me yet?"
The yellow light indicates fear or the intention to create fear. I don't think it's been specifically brought up, but Grayven could probably use the yellow ring trying to intimidate some rocks.The joy of fighting Superheroes. Gotta wonder how Sinestro managed it.
As it has been noted, not even Guy Gardner cracks jokes about battles with Sinestro.The joy of fighting Superheroes. Gotta wonder how Sinestro managed it.
One of the problems with writing superhero fanfiction is that if you're writing them in-character, a lot of the major characters tend to come off as either crazy, idiots, or crazy idiots.Wait, so they let Grayven take over Thanagar, then the only thing they did when things turned to shit was drop of Scott as a guerilla type thing and now they are complaining other Grayven is killing Thanagarians that attacked him?
This seems a little...schizophrenic.
He mostly fought Green Lanterns who were afraid of him.The joy of fighting Superheroes. Gotta wonder how Sinestro managed it.
Superman: The Animated Series never really made that clear.So, how did he earn the ring in this universe? I doubt he's the most courageous person in the sector...
Thank you, corrected.Also: That's the thing to do with Green Lanterns: don't give them time to focus.
Defence of another, actually.
Scott himself. He wants to help more people and he has a Mother Box for boom tubing.And who was holding the idiot ball for any of that to seem sensible?
Actively killing someone isn't the same as choosing not to help the people who recently tried to blow up your planet.Wait, so they let Grayven take over Thanagar, then the only thing they did when things turned to shit was drop of Scott as a guerilla type thing and now they are complaining other Grayven is killing Thanagarians that attacked him?
This seems a little...schizophrenic.
Thank you, corrected.
Metallica can stand on a metal disc and make it fly.
Ah, right. I was trying to remember the ones that appeared in the Justice League episode. I remembered Ace, super strong guy, stretchy guy, girl with powers I don't remember. And apparently I forgot about King entirely.
Absolutely nothing because you're overestimating the strength of your own power.Ah heck. What exactly happens if the God of Conquest wins a god-fight with the God of Freedom? Nothing good, I'm sure.
His own power? You mean Grayven-50's power? Cause Renegade Grayven has little interest in fighting Scott, especially if it'd cause a metaphysical disaster, so it's not him.Absolutely nothing because you're overestimating the strength of your own power.
You might want to think of Freedom as a conceptual power - so, does it include escaping from dangerous situations?His own power? You mean Grayven-50's power? Cause Renegade Grayven has little interest in fighting Scott, especially if it'd cause a metaphysical disaster, so it's not him.
Because Grayven-50 is the son of the God of Tyranny, Terrifying Ruler of Apokalypse, Darkseid. With all the metaphysical oomph that implies.
And Grayven-50 is so conquer-y that he crowned himself ruler of a entire civilization, and has just gotten through pounding another civilization into dust. And he has all the military force used in that campaign at his immediate command.
And he's fighting... a person who has baseline-human strength who's special ability is that he can escape from stuff.
Yeah, sorry but I think I'm going to bet on mister "I can turn your head into a salsa dish with one punch" here.
So, how did [Rayner] earn the ring in this universe? I doubt he's the most courageous person in the sector...
You're right, Grayven-50 would win by a landslide if they actually fought, but Scott's power would help him avoid any such engagements.You might want to think of Freedom as a conceptual power - so, does it include escaping from dangerous situations?
