Your Everything Disgusts Me (DC/SI)

Aliens can't read your mind d if you're on fire!

A nice present after working someone else's shift in another state.

 

My favorite is Respect Power Rings. Have only Epic Rivalries with Worthy Adversaries!

 

Nice to see this update. I like where this is going.

 

Purple: The Official Power Ring of Maito Gai! YOUTH!!!!!

 

How is Mercy an emotion? I thought it was an action, or social construct, not something you felt.

Can't even imagine how a Lantern powered by Mercy would work.

 

Well, if Overwatch has taught me anything, it wouldn't.

 

The Happiness ring sounds kind of... frightening. Thinking about it, it means you would have to be happy any time you fought, any time you tried to do something with the ring. You'd have to be happy all the time. Even if you had to do something you hated, you would have to force yourself to feel happy about it.

 

I could see people who found joy in the rush of combat being Happy Corpsmen. Following the leader of their Corp, Captain Kenpachi.

 

Napier would have been a prime candidate, then. Well, not any more, at least.

 

Would make them more likely to rebel. Anger gets lasers, righteousness gets strength, happiness for flight.

Would need some damn good mental conditioning and brainwashing for them not to rebel in those conditions.

I like your Cyborg.

 

I can see tamaranians and similar using the happiness ring with THE GLORIOUS JOY OF BATTLE!

 

No kidding, they'd be utter monsters to fight.

 

not really. you would just need to deal with "righteousness", and let me tell you that is hard to feel untill you deside not to feel gult, and you would turn them all into glass cannons.

 

For humans, sure. For Tamaranians it sometimes seems their default state.

 

Ok, great.

So, how are they going to induce these emotions? Kinda hard to feel happiness as a mindless drone. Anger they could do, but laser blasts aren't exactly the best weapon ever. Even starfire, an above average example of her species, has issues taking things down with them. So, in order to get any use out of them, you need for them to be not mindless, have the full range of emotions, and be strictly controlled.

Good luck with that. Unless they have some form of emotion altering collars, which they don't, they can't really use them.

 

Aren't they strictly mind control and telepathy though?

 

Fair enough, still a lot of work when there are other, better, options to go with for the same powers.

 

Seriously! Vyor, what's so special about you? QQ keeps alerting me whenever you post in this thread, and no one else, other than Guile a single time

 

Did you check it after getting those alerts every time? In my experience the alert system alerts you to the first post made in the thread since you last viewed it, and nothing else (aside from OP alerts which are separate) until you view the thread again. That means it could just be a case of luck, and Vyor posted next after every time you checked the thread.

 

I checked it after the first time Vyor posted, but didn't check it until he posted a third time.

 

The server recognizes my sovereignty.

Next: The world!

Those are also options.

 

Seems like we have one massive case of rejection of reality, followed by substitution of your own


Or the thread is simply being weird. Get some more activity in here, and we can find out

 

testing. testing. one two three?

edit: if anyone can hear me from outside the thread please respond.

 

How about: I find this to be an interesting twist on the 'Young Justice Lantern SI' formula. Fusing Teen Titans and Young Justice is a pretty major shakeup I look forward to seeing where it goes. The mental contamination/positive feedback loop of contempt has initial elements of being different, but it's too soon to really stand apart IMO. TotalAbsolutism, you've done a good job making a character powered by what's basically hate into someone not completely flat. Huria puts good explanations to why he disagrees with people, and makes an effort to be, if not nice, fair to people. When he's an asshole, he suffers the consequences and recognizes his mistakes. He feels like just a normal Joe given crazy power, and has a genuine desire to do good.

 

thinking about it i would bet that it is semi-caused by his contempt for irrationality.
