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

[GeneralCDragon]

Aren't they at all curious why Paul keeps ending up in fictional universes? Isn't there some higher in-universe power they could consult over this?

Click to shrink...

Technically Yes, but as we saw in the last Arc, he's currently imprisoned on a planet near the Scource Wall. I'm not sure who else to ask.

 

[Mr Zoat]

Please explain this word?

Click to shrink...

A petty squabble or argument. i.e., about as significant as children throwing bread rolls at each other and probably about as dignified.

is "flamewar" an equivalent word?

 

[Jankl]

Can New Gods reach enlightenment? Or do you need to be enlightened before you become a new god to reach enlightenment? I think I remember reading that someone who is enlightened can learn to wield their light without a power ring. Lantern Stewart from I think Earth-10 was awakened by Grayven and he can use the green light without a ring. Is that because he spent time in the Central Power battery or is that a feature of being an enlightened new god? Do you need a power ring to do things like assimilate people with the orange light or create portals with the Indigo light or ressurect people with the white light or are those abilities tied to the rings?

Can New Gods reach enlightenment

Click to shrink...

Probably.

Darkseid has black quote marks, so jthers may be able to do something like that.

Or do you need to be enlightened before you become a new god

Click to shrink...

No.

Several people that have become New Gods were not enlightened.

Lantern Stewart from I think Earth-10 was awakened by Grayven and he can use the green light without a ring. Is that because he spent time in the Central Power battery or is that a feature of being an enlightened new god? Do

Click to shrink...

It was the time spent in the battery.

Renegade just manipulated the energy inside him to let him use it without a ring.

 

[Mr Zoat]

is "flamewar" an equivalent word?

Click to shrink...

No. You can't have a flamewar in person. And the participants in a bunfight can be quite genuine and focused.

I hope we get to see the moment he realizes he fucked the entire universe.

Click to shrink...

I assume Paul himself deflects if they ask, since he's still managed to avoid telling the Team that, at the very least, their universe isn't any more real than those ones

Click to shrink...

Maybe he gives them speech Earth 12!J'onn gave during the Justice Guild incident: "Perhaps.. the creators of [insert media] had a subconscious link to [insert parallel]. What they thought was merely imagination was a physic memory of their real exploits."

Nondescript Character: "But, wait, how come you can arrive during the series without that affect-"

Paul: "Oh, look at that! Klarion's returned and got a new Teekl! Time to get a new construct cat bye!"

(As for the 'higher in-universe power they could consult', that would be Ambush Bug, last seen being tricked by Orange Lantern into having to go through every panel of every issue of every DC comic ever published to establish that Paul wasn't actually a canonical background character from somewhere.)

Click to shrink...

Even then, I don't think they have any proper way to get in contact with Ambush Bug. Or the imps like Bat-Mite or Mxy (at the very least I recall Superman having encountered him before), but intentionally bringing them to Earth 16 is more trouble than its worth.

Not just the comics, every piece of DC media that has and hasn't been published.

It's not the kitchen. Videos, DVDs, film reels and out of date radios litter the various available surfaces. But more than anything else, there are comics. Stacks, piles, drifts of them, reaching up to the heavens and off into infinity. Everything DC ever produced, every published work and unpublished author's note.

[Old Knife]

Dang. I was interested in their reaction Scatman Tuxedo.

 

[CrazyNoVa]

I hope we get to see the moment he realizes he fucked the entire universe.

Click to shrink...

How would we, though? The show as produced on Earth 16 would obviously be different from the universe that he visited, wouldn't it?

I'm surprised that there's already a drug distribution center back up and running in this broken state of the world.

 

[Mr Zoat]

Click to shrink...

Unfortunately, there's one international transportation network that's up and running.

 

[Ardy]

The dolman gates??

The dolman gates??

Click to shrink...

People really think they can just use the teleportation network that was brought to global attention by a superhero for drug trafficking without being noticed?

 

[Coltsguy]

For the love of god, please do follow ups for those two universes.

 

[Duke Long]

He shakes my hand very quickly, like he thinks I'll want to keep it or something. Then he just sort of stands there. What happened to American tradition of good customer service?

Click to shrink...

'to the'?

So I'm guessing we'll be seeing some sort of drug that directly stimulates the pleasure centre via magic or technology. Probably super addictive like the tasp and droud from Ringworld. Obvious association with happiness is Boss Smiley, but we've been told he isn't doing much at the moment because he wants humanity to be able to protect itself from existential threats.
