...is apparently capable of scanning the power ring, it was such a large task that Tattletale got an automatic thinker headache times 10.
Which is *incredibly* worrying, as it means the shards are at least partially successful in scanning the power ring and the actual inner workings of the...
Even if saint killed dragon at some prior point, he still wouldn't have been able to release people from the birdcage. How they get people out of the birdcage is getting the move overpowered mover to open up portals directly in and out. The birdcage, as it is mechanically set up, is inescapable...
Endbringers have some weird space warping going on that messes with spatial powers. Whether that blocks a singularity beam or not is anyone's guess.
Zoat's version of power rings is as least slightly magical. The scry wards make him invisible to magic, but not to any technological means of...
So is everyone more or less agreed that LP is going to fall flat on his face sooner or later between being targeted by everyone, the endbringers, approaching scion in the dumbest way possible, and generally getting way over his head without using any tact or preparation beyond his heavy...
His stated intention is to murder pretty much all of the supervillains in the surrounding area. He then also started out by killing one of the ones best suited for fighting the endbringers. He is going to end up killing well over 45% of capes that can fight against the endbringers if he carries...
Im pretty sure the light sigil appears over whatever armor they are wearing. I am not sure you are able to turn that off. Lung is a tough SOB, but it takes him time to ramp up to full power. Currently he was just at +1 foot, which is Brute 4 blaster 2. He is explicitly weak to sniping tactics...
The stronger capes tend to have psychosis of one sort or another. A really strong tinker thinking that he actually has the powers of a comic book super wouldnt be out of the ordinary.
Ok keep in mind, he would probably be categorized as a tinker upwards of 8, meaning dragon, who can scan most of the internet in a couple minutes, would be called in. The super heroes would probably be able to know that LP is based on a yellow lantern.
Sinestro himself is from the 60's.
Also, yeah, they share media with earth aleph. Superheroes revealed that they existed in 1987. It is probably reasonable that there was a short surge of popularity for superhero media before dying down. 1990 or so. Taking longer to do so in earth aleph...
The lantern and ring has a readily identifiable sigil on it. It takes a 3 minute background check consisting of a Google image search to pick up on the connection.
Yellow lantern's were also 20 years old even when scion showed up
Doing it quickly at least partly implies that he is best at sniping, and possibly worse in a straight fight.
My point is that he is doing neither of actually researching or dealing with serious threat. His planning seems to be constrained entirely to the immediate next 2 minutes and events...
The stuff number man listed wasn't a single threat you could deal with, it was an assessment that the parahuman community was a powderkeg waiting to explode. To reasonably mitigate them, he would have to be night omnipresent.
Casual murder doesn't inspire much fear. Doing it slower and more...
PDV: And he has years and possibly decades of practice being a necessary dictator handing out draconian justice, and it working. Of course when he enters another world and finds it to be even more of a mess - technologically more advanced, but a bigger mess nonetheless - he isn't going to look...
An additional 2 minutes of research would bring up the endbringer truce and the fact that the endbringers are such a big threat that allowing the existence of supervillains just to have additional bodies to throw at them is the point where they are at.
None of what is actually causing earth bet civilization to die can be laid at the feat of random criminal gangs. He isn't going after the endbringers or actual threats. He isn't addressing the water crisis, the damage done from endbringers, or anything. He is rearranging the decks on the titanic...
That would mean that he never improved his kingdom, and that is at been stuck at a communist dictatorship with draconian laws for decades. That would be an example of him utterly failing to actually uplift the society.
It doesn't fit in with his previously established characterization. If his previous rational was being brutal because he had to be, but is now being brutal even when he doesnt have to be, it implies that he was lying about being brutal only because he had to be.
My point exactly, HE IS NO LONGER IN THAT PLACE, HE NOW HAS RESOURCES TO SPARE.
Also, no one has escaped the birdcage. His only concern would be getting the legal system to accept them being imprisoned in the birdcage. He could probably shove them in there himself and they would have no way to...
