Heh, clever. I'm guessing this is more of a mini-mecha like Paragon's Heavy Powered Armour than something like the sort of thing Alan wore in Kingdom Come. But at least he's loaded for bear. Or rather, magically empowered criminals.
Shugel, Shugel... Ah, right, Ultra-Humanite. Wearing his stolen white Gorilla body.
He's gonna need that evasion, given Black Adam's speed.
Ah, drawing the aggro needed to ensure the big boom attack hits clean.
And no effing around from the start. That's nasty stuff.
Common Sense to exploit the best combat aspect of a Lantern Ring: Multi-vector attacks.
Surprised he's limited himself to one, or is that just to make a bigger target of himself? Since the missiles are going to be on their way shortly.
Might tick off the Green a little, but given they're already grumpy about the vines...
Probably got all of the Injustice League looking in that direction, though.
Yep, there's Theo.
Now to play bait and hold out...
Hardly drawing on all that divinely-granted wisdom, is he? Just a blunt instrument in the hands of a fool.
Ooh, that's gonna sting.
Gotta love speedy guys who aren't actually all that fast in the brains department.
Interesting. Because of the divine energies in his flesh? Just like a New God...
Goddamn short combat rounds... At this rate, you'll have Black Adam down before the missiles even arrive.
Sadly, not a fatal blow due to his inhuman durability and healing factor.
Huh, I wonder how much of the body interacts during the transformation? Will wounds carry over?
Joy of his regular body being noticeably shorter than his transformed state. On the other hand, you just eliminated him outright and freed Teth-Adom's spirit, apparently without knowing it.
Wotan is probably trying to weave a defensive barrier against you. Let's hope he makes the mistake of making it limited in direction.
Ah, Count Vertigo. Ordinary guy with one clever trick. Too bad it doesn't work on Lanterns.
And the Gang are probably warming up their villainous monologues and taunts. "One guy? You thought you could take us with one guy?"
Upside is that the vines will maybe act as a nice blast shield when the missiles hit.
A critical mistake on Wotan's part. Fortunate.
Adapting quickly, I see. Too bad it's too little too late.
...I hope his armour is up to the task of tanking that.
...Which was maybe Ivy if she got de-crazied.
It's more that he's not that good yet.
He's outside of the blast radius. Plus, he's surrounded by vines.
Thank you, corrected.
no, its Krackathoom, and its proceeded by "The Techno-Queen."
Open every single spoiler tag, control + f, 'Common Sense'.
I can't wait to see Batman and Paul's argument.
Could be more interesting to have the start of the morality debate only to have Captain Atom come in as empowered by the government to say the US government doesn't really have a problem with how things ended. Efficient and with no more civilians killed.
Ah, the missiles didn't level the place outright? A shame, but it probably would have taken much larger ordnance to manage that, I suppose. At least he won't have to resort to DNA matching to identify the remains.
Could well be something inherent to the vine's own structure, really. Perhaps some sort of 'if it encompasses an area, he can't scan in here' or the like.
So Theo Adams is confirmed dead? Not like he'd survive the blast as a squishy human, and even if he did make it out, he couldn't re-power himself without the amulet.
So someone in charge is still alive. Right, then, close quarters it is.
Good to see him pressing on.
And international law would be kind of pissed too. Every nation they attacked would want a piece of them, I bet, and even Joker can't get out of that mess.
No radio so he doesn't have to hear a direct order to stop. Common Sense ultimate superpower plz-no-nerf.
Honestly, he could probably manage to spoof a Green connection like Ivy's given time to examine it.
That may be so, but could you really stop him if he persisted and you would prefer he didn't? Outside of talking him down?
Enemy of the State of Atlantis, after all. It'd be his duty.
And there's no insanity pleas for that sort of international terrorism.
At this point, he's already dead, his body just hasn't got the message.
If anything, this would be mercy. Dying from burns that severe would be extremely painful, at least where the nerves aren't destroyed outright."Ah-! Ah-ahh-!"
Not one drop of blood remaining. Just to make sure.
A technicality, but one most people won't argue.
Kaldur might well be the best person he could have brought along. All the right amounts of pragmatic sense and calm detachment needed.
Staggering the missiles might have been effective, using one to break the walls and the rest turning the inside into an inferno... But he probably couldn't count on that.
Especially as large as he is in that gorilla body.
Clean and simple.
Because the ape is as much a victim as the people Shugel attacked.
A courtesy, if nothing else.
Probably fusing them with herself to try and stay alive. Not the smartest idea, but given it was that or become a briquette...
Not even a thought for him beyond 'target acquired'. About what he deserved.
And it probably would have caused that, because Sod's Law. I'd imagine the Parliament of Trees would not have been happy with you.
That remains to be tested. and best to eliminate the possibility if him coming back either.
If the anti-scanning effect is fading, that means Wotan is probably dying. Better be quick.
Given the local afterlife he will be less of a threat than the dudes OL gust killed.
Sort of. There was one in Stargirl, but I don't know whether that's the same continuety or not.
No. The Joker stops existing and Jack Napier goes to heaven.
I'm not sure if the writers on those shows know (or agree about) whether it's the same continuity.
I don't see any evidence for it in how the narrative is presented, but I have a feeling this sort of thinking won't work out great for him. He'll be lacking something essential to turn out as well as Paragon and Renegade.
These last few chapters have shown some of the problems that his methods have caused.
Something something Gurren Lagann
Both paragon and renegade took some big chances that, through luck or determination or simple lack of conventional morality, happened to work out for them. The avoidance of those key gambles are what will hinder the Common Sense timeline's OL in the long run.
Doing things that would accelerate your psychological decay are the exact opposite of common sense.
This is the common sense chapter that last had anything to do with starro. Not really enough info to say one way or another it seems.
