First I've heard of the character.
No, as I haven't read the comic.
Thank you, corrected.
Something tells me that they're going to learn that Orange Lanterns fight a little differently from Green Lanterns.
Ah, something of a portable protective charm, eh? A little battery cell to drain off the excess order and Chaos? Exactly the sort of thing I could see Doctor Balewa working out to allow John a little measure of travel capability. And no doubt warded to keep track of him.
I wonder if the current crop of rookie heroes signing up with various groups are getting courses in things like 'Masked Body Language 101' thanks to things like this. Stuff like face-concealing helmets may hide your identity, after all, but they do also hide simple gestures we take for granted...
In John's case, it's kind of a shamanistic thing, sure, but in the sense that he lets it take him where shit's fucked so he can fix it.
"It's a Zen thing, man." Sounds right up Ollie's alley, really.
...Like demons. Or fearing for the fate of your soul.
I'm amazed Thaddeus Senior actually hung around to talk to them. I guess that global pardon's coming in handy.
I mean, the man would not take conventional punishment the way the average person would. His brain just works too differently. One version escaped from jail by doing math.
Tinkers gotta Tinker, brother. I suppose the hard part is keeping them from monologuing at each other, arguing, and swearing to rain vengeance down with death-rays...
No, no, do finish that question. I'd like to hear what you were going to say?
Ah, the joy of being amongst friends who know you so well.
And after the first couple of times, most people know not to pull any shit with him, so he hasn't had to commit any atrocities recently.
...Do you want to bring the PTSD Kryptonian with you to the place that caused her suffering? Yes, I suspect carrying a live grenade would work out about as well.
There's that, too. They may not take happily to her return.
John, please, let's not poke the barely-comprehensible technology? Do you want to be smeared across 5252 universes?
...Okay, either he's really high on synchronicity, or that little episode gave his sense of self-preservation a severe unbalancing.
Helpful. Orange Light Shaman levels coming in so handy in this playthrough.
...Dangit, John's poking the portal fudged it up, didn't it?
Remember the little thing with Red Tornado and his siblings? Imagine if that had gone worse. And then double it. This is not good.
That would be a dreadful insult to his scientific pride you just uttered.
That's a good plan.
And somewhere else, a Lizard smiles smugly.
Why is it always Tuesday?If it were Earth-666, I would say that's because Rakkar probably knocked the satellites offline.
Otherwise, why the heck would you expect an alternate universe to have the same software protocols, much less any GPS network?Yeah, let's not go crazy here.
Okay, so... Take a seat, grab a Soder Cola out of subspace and wait?
Welp, someone's got Marvel envy. Sentinels, anyone?
...Oh, that's just disturbing. And they're still wearing the giant two-tone leotards? Someone has no taste...
Well, at least they aren't letting the giant super-robots operate autonomously.
...Oh, this is off to a great start.
...Ollie. Keep in mind the threats present here? Let's not start any trouble?
Given she just mentioned 'additional charges' - probably something like existing as 'unlicensed metahumans' - I don't think this is going to end civilly.
Sorry, wrong colour, but that does offer a few leads as to where they might be. Like Lothlo suggested, is this the Inviolate universe? On the other hand, OL should recognise it, having been there before.
Bet that crystal he tossed inadvertently knocked the portal's destination off a few parallels...Can't believe we are apparently getting even more Supergirls. We'll hit double digits soon at that rate.
If it were Earth-666, I would say that's because Rakkar probably knocked the satellites offline.
Well, I get the feeling Lanterns aren't welcome on this Earth. Nor any metahuman not employed or imprisoned by the government, at a glance. Wonder if the differences in abilities will throw them for a loop or not? At any rate, this bodes so well for how the episode is about to go. Thank you, John, for this little side-trip.
Thank you, corrected.
The SI is wondering that. She's using the term to mean 'Maltusian-affiliate' rather than 'someone with a green power ring'.
Orange Lantern's fight, Green Lantern's entertain and occasionally (and accidentally) win conflicts sometimes.
Zoat... You really shouldn't link to the comic version of Amazo when you're going to nerf them into Canon fodder.
