Not corruption,
I really don't think most versions would respond like that... and in a setting where they would, it'd be Arkham, and he'd escape after being driven nuts by Hugo Strange.
I remember a picture of Teth kissing Paul.
One might think that it would be common sense not to leave a source of power unused, in a world under siege by so many hostile forces.
ah, taking the amulet to the big red cheese, eh? Or more likely he's returning from a consultation with the wizard about it. I wonder what the old man had to say about the matter, and whether he'd tell the whole truth about it. Let's find out.
Heh. wonder if people have theories about why he's so friendly to kids?
Remember 'First Thunder' where he and Superman meet for the first time? There's a moment where after Billy's best friend is killed by Sivana's goons, he blurts that fact out to Superman. For a second, he has this look of 'Wait, what do you mean by that?' where you can see exactly what Supes is thinking (and it's not good.)Fortunately, Billy understands that the world needs hope, and he understands how to give it to children. And that's before you add in the Wisdom of Solomon...
Well, some people have different priorities. Especially young men who have been granted the power of gods.
...Gee, how timely.
And I suspect he'd have trouble firing it up, even now. While he's not at the 'happy hero' state he was in Paragon's timeline, he's still not the dark avenger he used to be.
Batman with a Power Ring. The very definition of overpowered. (Admittedly, the meme uses a green Ring, but still...)
With what? The possibly-compromised Power Ring?
Without taking it to the Guardians, who probably wouldn't return it. That could be tricky.
That's a good point. Sinestro is very talented with a Ring, however some showings presented him.
He'd probably spout some guff about it 'falling into the wrong hands' IE any but his.
Gotta love the way some things change in DC. Although Kahndaqologist does have a more exciting ring to it than egyptologist. (Weird that they're about the most famous region-specific archaeological discipline to get a well-known name for themselves.)
Of course, that's a very stripped down and biased account of the matter from the Wizard...
Best to trust that Wisdom, Billy. It's right on the money.
That would be an interesting power-up, but I think the Kahndaqi gods might have something to say about you 'stealing' their power. Theo only got away with it by tricking them into thinking he was Teth-Adom, after all.
Good, you noticed that. Though I bet the Wizard was being quite mum on the subject...
Theo or Teth-Adom? Because an archaeologist who didn't have a little grounding in the cultures of the whole region (the Mediterranean, in this case) would have just a bit of trouble comparing cultural references sometimes, wouldn't they?
Ah, CS!OL trying to hint that maybe the Wizard didn't call on the same gods as he did for Billy, eh?
Which gets a little interesting, considering his history and her origins.
There's that Wisdom again.
And her brother, Satanus, but that would just complicate the discussion, right?
Not that he's about to mention the real source of his metaknowledge, of course.
Not inaccurate, but the divergence is down to personal perspectives...
A big drawback of questioning someone that way. Just because she has to answer, doesn't mean she has to answer fully. Pity they didn't get Diana involved on this...
I suspect the Wizard would have opinions on any choice he makes, and any selection he puts forwards, but it's not really his place to comment.
It would probably mean having Teth-Adom's consciousness sitting in the back of his mind when he's using it, commenting on everything he does... There's no way he wouldn't have it bound the way Theo did, after all.
I like the different angles of 'Where is he going with this?' they're presenting...
'Going out' in the 'Worm' sense, eh? Though the colloquial probably existed before Wildbow used it...
It's more powerful than a Dannering, and able to be turned off. That would be interesting.
No, quite the opposite. Though if you're concerned, they asked, and he was okay with it. It's not like the afterlife is going anywhere.
I'm surprised he didn't want to either move on or serve/protect Kahndaq. Common Sense Paul must be better at negotiation that I anticipated.
Oh yay, if Paula (or someone else) gets to enjoy Adom as a mentor, then we'll REALLY have proof that Nabu's tantrum is worthy of mockery.
Now that is an intresting idea.,
It feels like common sense would say talk to Black Adam before you started offering people supreme cosmic power with a very decent living space.
He did, off page, for just that reason.
"works"
They would have reason to help Batman.
Ah, paying the bills, so to speak, for his aid earlier in the Question's dream-realm trap. And once guess what Tyche asked for. Or at least what OL expects she'd want, since I don't know if OL's gotten any messages from her.
Oooh, good point, especially if the Badlands can also reach through the iconography. Also, Tyche needs the respect and has a swanky sense of style.
Given how corrupted Hub City was, it would have had a good chance of facing the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah...
Of course, that leaves openings for cheating, hence the infernal's ability to corrupt and deceive.
Good point.
After all, OL can approach her directly, and make sure she's on the up-and-up. Tyche would almost certainly want the attention and worship, so it's mutually beneficial.
On every statue, ideally. Or at least those at street-level. Want to spread that sweet, sweet knowledge, after all.
Surprised he didn't go up to Olympus to get her to pose for reference shots directly. Guess she prefers the Hellenic style.
Presumably one of the priestesses from Themyscira.
The drawback of direct transit methods, much like Mass Relays or Space-folding stardrives.
The trick is getting people to respect that, what with the way America seems to idolise cars...
All it would take is one asshole driver to screw things up.Hmm... It would allow you to form a sort of perimeter for heavy goods vehicles... Prevent the need to have streets big enough to handle a 50 foot trailer turning. Instead, you can have lots of wide pedestrian-friendly roads.
Crafting a template for new cities, eh? That would definitely get Tyche on your side.
Sounds very European, really. And that's cool.
And he felt inspired? Probably very exciting, getting to design an entire city centre from the ground up.
What better time? Yes, much easier without having to work around city traffic and pedestrians. Ticking people off by closing streets while the buildings are being built, that sort of thing.
Ah, he hasn't really been keeping up with things, has he? To busy in the studio.
Heh. Starting to get an idea of the sheer potential of the impact he could have, isn't he?
Good to know. I bet the Hub City skyline is going to be spectacular.
Off to the next check-in, eh?
Good, if uncomfortable. I guess there's a lot of bad memories and people seeking redemption.
That's got to be frustrating as hell for him, given his Enlightenment.
Something other than the usual superheroic questing, maybe?
And OL just turns around, walks up to the nearest wall and starts bonking his head on it...
Makes uncanny sense...
Literally one of the first things Orange Lantern should have done.
Thank you, corrected.
Ugh. The link to Forager II has a picture of Forager III...
Well for one the New Gods of New Genesis are arseholes. For another Paul did horrible soul mutilating damage to one of their VIPs, who is the son of the guy most likely to know if someone was trading with Batman.
Not one of these? This one from Countdown? Or is it someone else?
The pain of such a generic name for a character... 
Maybe searching for their comics appearances by issue might help?
They're also generally benevolent and are enemies of Darkseid.
The people of Earth were also able to get rid of Anti-Life from their planet, so they'd have a lot of reasons to want to investigate that place.
