    Theoretically Kara should be pretty good at this. She's not going around making people's heads explode when she punches them, so she must have the typical Kryptonian extremely fine-grained control of her own strength. She can treat it like she's she's fighting a guy who is super-tough but she...

    There's a second story playing out behind OL and Argent. You may not like it, but this is what peak superhero instruction looks like. Face couldn't melt the concrete, Kara told him "No, you can burn the concrete." Then he melted the concrete. Truly, Batman himself could not be a better...

    No one knows because she is a filthy liar. I mean hah-hah, some other parallel DC universe! Don't worry which one though, because when Paul said he finally had time to help Kara get back home she said she didn't care and he didn't need to poke any further into her origins in any way...

    She probably just changed her mind and decided she didn't like it after all. Kara is not a bastion of consistency, especially if she can turn it into another comedy routine. CrazyNoVa, the point is that the two of them are fucking with each other on purpose. This isn't an innocent argument...

    There's also millions of people named "Paul". For that matter, both Karas are named "Kara" and OL isn't demanding one of them change that. This whole discussion seems predicated upon a very Earth Prime bit of thinking, that every superhero name must be unique and not used by any other...

    Funny you should mention Japanese animation. I finally pinned down what OL and Kara are doing. It's a manzai routine. Well, not in the formal sense of course, but it's very much a style of comedy you see come up pretty frequently if you watch a lot of anime. Kara plays the boke, spewing...

    The actual reason is that DC was creating a new Teen Titans team and Argent was selected to be "the sexy one, like Starfire". She does not have enhanced endurance, other than in the sense that everybody in comic book land can take a few hits more than they realistically probably could. I'm...

    Argent's powers as "kind of like a Green Lantern but not as good" remind me a lot of Starman's Cosmic Rod which is also "kind of like a Green Lantern but not as good". Makes me wonder if what she's actually doing is channeling cosmic energy, with her biological control mechanism making it...

    Funny, I was going to post how it should be incredibly easy. Given she’s already doing the superhero thing, “Let the Justice League train me how not to die,” is the easiest sell ever.

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

    Argent seems like a perfectly ordinary replacement level superhero, with the level of competence you'd expect from someone with no special training who is still doing their best. I'll be interested to see what OL can do with her. I think her powers come from being half-alien somehow?

    Yep. The definition of "arctic" is an area far enough north that Ursa Major is visible all year and never dips below the horizon.

    Originally of course, Blue Devil did not make a deal with a demon. He defeated Nebiros using the demonic-looking power armor he made to film a movie, and Nebiros accidentally-on-purpose[1] cursed him to bond the power armor onto his body and make it flesh. So he'd be a rare example of a guy...

    I'm pretty skeptical that the League will remain in control of the world forever unless they take active measures to remain in power. It doesn't matter how good you are at the job, you can't please everyone. Government is about trade-offs. When the people or region who doesn't like the...

    I got to be honest, I don't see the Icon comparison. Sure, but that's handwave stuff. We understand how Icon got where he ended up, what civilization his spaceship/lifeboat was from, and why it made him look like a human being. Maybe the details of his powers are a little fuzzy, but "if...

    I did a quick lookup on "Red Star" and as an interesting aside, it doesn't look like DC comics has ever explored in any continuity where the exploding spaceship that gave him his powers came from, or provided details about the aliens that built it. The closest was an appearance where his status...

    I remember that Leonid is the young Russian superhero, who goes by "Starfire" in some continuities, but I don't remember what his deal is in the "With This Ring" continuity. Backstory, powers, hero name, that sort of thing. Anyone got a refresher on where we met him? Can anyone provide a...

    I never thought the idea was to keep the memory loss a secret! I assume both Hades and Persephone would be told what was going through n and why they had agreed to sacrifice their memory. But I forgot comics run on drama.

    LOL the exact opposite. They want him to do something that’s going to require a time investment on his part and have been working out the details before they take it to Paul to get him to sign on. Work out exactly what you want, then take it to the guy you’re going to ask for it. Taking a...

    Something interesting I learned recently is that in the real world, Persephone is an older god than Hades and was associated with the Underworld before Hades existed. In other words she was queen of the dead first and then Hades got fitted in to explain why. Of course that doesn’t change...

    That’s just how the overall story cycles. Zoat will intersperse an alternate story with the main one, sometimes for months at a time. Some of them I really like, sometimes I don’t care for as much due to setting or plot and I more skim than read those. If you still like the main story there’s...
