Nope.
Certain pieces would affect them more than others. He'd need several. The SI doesn't know exactly what he has.So even the embodiment of life itself could potentially fall before the full power of Anti-Life.
Huh.
That is...concerning.
Earlier, like probably several years ago, you mentioned that Darkseid could defeat the Ophidian with the right piece of the equation.
My question is:
Does he have the piece which can be used to defeat the Ophidian, or really any piece that could beat any of the Emotional Entities?
Does he need a specific piece to defeat a certain Entity or is it something that could be done with just a single piece?
Nekron would be hard to affect, but ultimately Nekron still values things and tries to achieve things.Could Nekron even be defeated using the equation, considering he, as the Entity of the black light, is basically the personification of suicidal thought patterns, losing the will, desire, hope etc. to live and overall being nihilism taken up to a hundred and eleven, and the equation seems to sap its victims of well everything that makes them something that you would consider alive, at least in the sense of possessing emotions, instead of being meat-robots, or is he,if not completely, then more resistant to its effects than any other creature in the universe, including the Life Entity?
SI.Is Empress going to show up in renegades or paragons storyline, or will she show up in both?
"Don't worry about this. It doesn't matter. Heh. I'm just the s̸m͏i̛l̛e on the fac̨e͘ of th̸e͝ tiger." He brings his hands up fast towards his head, and for a moment I see the golden object imbedded in his forehead. There's a momentary flash of light, then his body folds in around the impact point, torso and limbs jerking, twisting and shrinking. "Worry.. about… W̶hat͟ fol̸loẃś."
Can you give me a link to where it says that?Came across a wierd little continuity error. At one point it mentions Zatanna joining OL at the shooting range, and adding a gun to her gear, then later on in the story, they start talking about Zatanna maybe learning how to use a gun.
Change "he" to "her".Mr Atom uses the opportunity of he eyes and arms being occupied
Change "is" to "his".Only a couple of people had ever managed to run down is solar batteries, but-.
Change "if" to "it".
I think you want to add an "or" between "him" and "shooting".Billy pounding at Mr Atom didn't stop it shooting him shooting the dome but
Ah, Kal-El's turn for commentary.He gingerly touched the burn on his chest with his right hand while his eyes remained fixed on Diana and Billy.
The robot -Mr Atom- had tried punching Billy while the three of them grappled, and Billy lost his grip on his torso before blindly grabbing his leg as Diana knocked the two of them into the air. He'd seen the robot fire a gamma ray beam from his eyes which near-blinded Billy, so it was a little impressive that he's managed to stay as coordinated as he had.
Yeah, a good guy like Clark will definitely be concerned about collateral damage, especially people. If he's not, then that universe has something seriously wrong with it (looking at you, DCEU!)He remembered the times in his own career when he'd been blinded and it had been crippling. Not that he'd been in much danger himself; the attacks that followed had usually hurt without being life-threatening. No, what scared him was the idea that he'd hit someone while he couldn't see where he was going. Or… Miss something.
Ah, enemies too stupid to change tactics mid-fight. Always handy.Mr Atom fired a shot at Diana's face as Billy tried to keep hold of something he couldn't see and was trying to kick him in the face. Diana spotted what Mr Atom was trying to do and turned her head away just enough that her golden helmet took the worst of it. Mr Atom tried to push her back out of the grapple and into punching range, but she partially evaded his shove and parried his punch with her left bracer. A hundred practice sessions of her doing that to him had taught him that her bracers absorbed all of the force of the strike, and from the way Mr Atom was following up by punching her full force from an angle it was simple for her to block implied that he didn't know that.
And not make it much fun for his teammates either.He could charge in, but with Diana handling that and Hal keeping the radioactive dust -he involuntarily gritted his teeth- under control, it was better for him to hang back and keep watch. He tapped his earpiece to indicate that he was fine-. No, it was dead. Then he scanned the surrounding environment. The dust cloud was spreading, and with it the glow of gamma radiation. Thankfully, that wasn't something that he ran into all that often: his 'super vision' would let him see through the dust cloud and the dark just fine but enough radiation at the top or bottom of his visual range would leave him just as blind as everyone else.
And now we see something many versions of Superman forget: Intelligence.Was that intentional? Sure, the radiation would keep most of the League away, the robot could probably see fine in the dark and clearly it wasn't bothered by the radiation, but blocking his vision? It didn't seem likely. If it was preparing for him specifically it would be using kryptonite rather than gamma rays.
The robot was falling back to Earth, Billy had let go and was doing the mental focus thing Teth Adom had taught him in order to recover faster-.
Too bad he doesn't have working comms. As is, he's facing blabbing his observations to Mr Atom too.Why was the robot falling? Was it trying to save power? Get further into the radioactive dust because it didn't think Diana was immune to it? Or-?
No, it hadn't left the ground until Diana slammed into it.
"I don't think the robot can fly."
He just tanked a Gamma Ray laser, what do you think, Clark?Another graser shot flashes out, missing Dian-.
Hitting Hal, and causing the dome that was supposed to keep the radioactive dust in to flicker. He stabilized it a moment later-.
He blurred over to Hal, whose uniform was smouldering.
"You okay?"
Eh, I'm sure OL can patch you up. Too bad Green Rings aren't good at healing, huh?Hal winces as he generated a shield construct, keeping it pointed at where Mr Atom appeared to have learned to avoid Diana's bracers. Fortunately, her armour is tough enough to help her weather the blows.
"I dunno. How long does it take the tumours to show if I'm not?"
Ow. That can not have been pleasant, even for her toughness."Can you keep the dome up?"
"As long as he doesn't start aiming for-."
Mr Atom swung his right fist low towards Diana's stomach while firing his grasers at her vision slit. She blocks with both bracers and Mr Atom uses the opportunity of he eyes and arms being occupied to grab the top of her head with his left hand. He wrenched, Diana's feet involuntarily leaving the ground as she's pulled with her helmet. Mr Atom then bends, slamming the back of her helmet into the ground and firing-.
Oops. Gotta be careful about accidentally energising an enemy. That's gonna cost him points.He narrows his own eyes and fires his vision weapon.
He didn't have any problem with robots and intelligent computers being considered people, but it was a whole lot safer to dismantle them than it was to dismantle a human. Knowing Paul, it's brain was probably armoured-.
Mr Atom's eyes glow brighter, and for a moment he worries that he might have caused some kind of feedback-.
Pain that bad is a rare thing for him to feel, isn't it?A dozen rapidly-fired pulses from Mr Atom's apparently undamaged eyes pepper Hal's dome, his protective shield becoming increasingly translucent as he redoubles his efforts to maintain-.
He interposes himself just as Mr Atom fires a full powered OW.
Nugruh-gh.
Yeah, thank Batman for the magic pants. The last thing we need is a full-frontal assault...What was left of his shirt was vaporised, his pants-. He was pretty sure that Bruce got him ultra-tough briefs after Paul destroyed his costume-briefs as a joke, but he was pretty glad he had them now. It was dark and they were a good way away from the city, but being naked on camera was something he'd prefer to avoid. He skin was glowing-red and he felt a small spike of pain whenever one of the particles of concrete dust touched him. That was a lot more powerful than its first shot. And he wasn't sure if Hal could take it when distracted.
Another one might be a problem. Best not try eye-beams to the face again.Billy had recovered, and flew at Mr Atom's head while he was busy trying to land effective blows on Diana. Between her smaller size, invulnerable bracers and greater skill he wasn't managing much, but he didn't look damaged at all.
"Supes?"
He gives Hal a reassuring and mildly sunburned smile. "That hurt, but it hasn't taken me out yet."
At least taking off the head means no primary eye-ray source. And probably helps reduce Mr Atom's visual acuity...Sunburned. It was night, the air was increasingly filled with dust and dawn was still at least three hours away. Only a couple of people had ever managed to run down is solar batteries, but-.
Billy was slamming haymakers into Mr Atom's head, but half the time heads were decorative on robots anyway. Chances are that its brain was in its chest. One punch from his left fist looked like it worked the head loose, but all if was doing was rotating it so that it could take a few more shots at Hal's dome. Diana was climbing back to her feet-.
Ah, the big, glowing red spot. Strike the weak point for massive damage!Billy pounding at Mr Atom didn't stop it shooting him shooting the dome but it was preventing him shooting Hal directly. If Mr Atom was feeding on radiation, what wavelengths could he use? Everything here, presumably, but was that more powerful blast a result of absorbing his heat vision? That was on the other side of the human-visible part of the spectrum. Was he only able to absorb from some parts of his body?
He narrowed his eyes, trying to get a good look at what the radiation around the robot was doing. It was hard to tell precisely -he didn't have much experience with radioactive materials that weren't kryptonite- but it looks like.. the dust in front of his chest was emitting less radiation that the rest. And there was some sort of dust current, partially disguised by all of the other movement the clouds of debris was going through. He was… Filtering. Probably recharging, and it looked like that was happening… Around the red spot in the center of his chest.
And now the robot knows you know that. He's going to be defending those points harder now.So: eyes and chest. Everything else was fair game. He narrowed his eyes a little further and used a brief gap where the robot caught Billy a powerful blow to the diaphragm to send two burning red beams at its left shoulder. It registers the damage immediately, partially turning so that the beams are striking its stronger torso armour rather that a joint, then sidestepping so that Diana spoiled the shot.
"The robot can absorb radiation through the center of his chest and his eyes!"
He's gone from 'Suck' to 'Blow'!Diana responds at once as Billy presses his attack. She drew a sword -almost certainly enchanted- and waited until Billy has its full attention before stabbing forward. The blade tip cuts into his chest, again prompting an immediate response even though Mr Atom can't see the source of the attack with his eyes. With her bracers unable to rise his left fist strikes her full in the face and drives her back, but Billy takes advantage of that to aim strikes at its eyes.
He can see that Diana's stab has inflicted visible damage on the absorption mechanism in the way the radiation isn't being absorbed anything like as-.
The grey dust is suddenly sucked inwards, then explodes outwards in all directions!
...armour rather than a joint...
Change "he" to "her".
Change "is" to "his".
Change "if" to "it".
I think you want to add an "or" between "him" and "shooting".
Thank you, corrected.
Probably not.
He once saw her in one page of one comic.Shouldn't the renegade have an interest in Empress, seeing as she had a piece of the equation in herself when she was in the comics, or did he simply forget that she existed, like when he forgot what the Sword of the Fallen does to the ones it kills?
In theory, he gains a number of traits. He's just not using them all that much because kryptonian is better at most things he wants to do.Does Kon have any benefits from his human half?
Like extra resistance to magic and kryptonite?
Superman's first priority is the protection of the innocent. The area is already clear and Mr Atom isn't trying to leave. Then, protecting his team mates. Diana and Billy are fine, but he tanked a shot for Hal. He could rush in, but at this point he's a veteran and knows that having multiple people attacking a single humanoid opponent would just result in them getting in each others way.Feels a little too passive and thinky for superman. He's a brawler. He should be either trying to wrestle Mr Atom as he thinks, or using rubble to try to shield Hal or something.
It sounds like he's just... floating there, as Diana and Billy do the fighting in the background.
That sort of thing suits Paul, but not Clark.
I'll leave that for someone around here with a better understanding of physics than me.... what effect would radiation Gasers have on something nonorganic like stone anyway? Other than irradiating it, obviously.
Putting something solid between the brawl and Hal wouldn't be a bad idea, and there's always ice-breath.
Another piece of art for my Favorites folder. This is so very Superman.He remembered the times in his own career when he'd been blinded and it had been crippling. Not that he'd been in much danger himself; the attacks that followed had usually hurt without being life-threatening. No, what scared him was the idea that he'd hit someone while he couldn't see where he was going. Or… Miss something.
IMO Mr Zoat has always written Supes as more intelligent than he's been portrayed in the comics. I like that. I also like the fact that this Superman has learnt. What you're seeing is evidence of character development.Feels a little too passive and thinky for superman. He's a brawler. He should be either trying to wrestle Mr Atom as he thinks, or using rubble to try to shield Hal or something.
It sounds like he's just... floating there, as Diana and Billy do the fighting in the background.
That sort of thing suits Paul, but not Clark.
No, no he isn't. Superman was a legit science hero for a good chunk of his existence, he actually knows how to fight, rather then just throw super strength haymakers, and has several villains that require him to outthink them rather then out muscle them.Feels a little too passive and thinky for superman. He's a brawler.
I believe Zoat has said that this Superman does not have his breath powers as he feels that they do not make sense. That, and I don't think YJ has shown him using them either.Does this Superman have ice breath? If so does it work the same way as the cold guns?
Because the fellow doing it needed to demonstrate progress in order to get his grant renewed.During the Mandated episode we found out that the, well i suppose you could say spirit, of that middle eastern kingdom, the one whose ruler asked Dream to take it so that it will never die, was brought back to the material universe.
I was wondering how that happened and why it was brought back?
I don't think that there was an explanation given, but maybe i didn't notice it.
I'm not keen on the ability, but if it does exist then it's literally him breathing out super-cooled air.Does this Superman have ice breath? If so does it work the same way as the cold guns?
Scott Free?Have there been any New Gods, that are in your story, from Apokalyps that have defected to the side of New Genesis, or the side of what you may tentatively consider good?
Aside from Barda, Bekka, Himon and any other good Apokalyps born New Gods that i may be unaware of.
I haven't decided.You said that Darkseid is basically a high tier New God, wielder of the Omega Force/Effect and has several fragments of the Anti-Life equation.
I was wondering something about Izaya, aside from him being a high tier New God himself, does he have the Alpha Force/Effect that he has in the comics and does he try to collect fragments of the Life Equation like Darkseid does with his equation, and if he doesn't then what does powers does he have?
Yes, but don't necessarily expect it to be like one particular version from the comics.
Pass.Is Izaya Darkseids equal, because we don't really see him fight him all that much in the comics, aside from that time in Godhead?
I am also sorry for mentioning the issue, i just want to know if he is his equal?
I don't have a firm figure in mind.How old is Darkseid in your story, in the comics he is supposed to be around 245.000 years old, and when did he discover about the existence of Anti-Life, in the comics he theorised that it may exist when he went to Mars, or has the existence of the equation been known before he was born and he simply made it his goal to get it?
During the Mandated episode we found out that the, well i suppose you could say spirit, of that middle eastern kingdom, the one whose ruler asked Dream to take it so that it will never die, was brought back to the material universe.

I don't think that there was an explanation given, but maybe i didn't notice it.
Ok. Now I want to hear more about this.Because the fellow doing it needed to demonstrate progress in order to get his grant renewed.
