    Having Standing Bear watch over Zatana seems a bit… I don’t want to say ‘unnecessary’, but it seems to be more an assignment to keep the guy busy than one that holds much practical utility. I mean, maybe the end goal is to help him ease back into some more serious action?

    Thanks for the update. …. I should probably say this more often to people ‘round here.

    A thought that might become relevant, both for Paul (Paol/Paolo?), should he indeed be getting hitched soon, as the Emperor seems to wish, and for all the newly fertile elves: how exactly does a hereditary monarchy work if one or several of their members are clinically immortal? I understand the...

    If I remember correctly, the particular weirdo Maltusian Paul talked to about helping out with making a red power ring actually hung around on planet Tulsa, and not on Maltus. So I think this is correct.

    Sandy is quickly cementing his place as my favorite character of this arc.

    My bad then. I might have felt a bit combative. Hope you didn’t have to roll your eyes too hard.

    Picking a fight with even one Lantern seems foolhardy. Because even if you succeed, you still then get only one weapon that a Martian or group of Martians can overcome with some effort and/or skill and/or luck - so not that big a game changer. And you’ll potentially have to deal with said...

    I disagree with some of that, and also think that’s a bit simplified/simplifying a way of looking at those things and what personal ability and aptitude can entail, but, considering that those things are rather more about personal conviction and opinion, I don’t think we can really have a...

    I personally based that assumption on how some reds, with training, could, for a short moment, do the molecular destabilization-thing the Burning Martians did, on a very small part of their body - it’s apparently considered a mark of great mental discipline and ability. J’emm (who, in case you...

    But if they all took on the “comportment and temperament” the Guardians intended, doesn’t that make it sound more like the difference is less in their emotional and/or mental state? I don’t know, it still feels like we’re mistakingly conflating those things with other tangible differences...

    Was that ever explicitly stated? Because I was under the impression that the martian’s programming was mostly build around their aversion to fire (likely to prevent the whole “burning” part of “Burning Martian”), and that the whole burning thing was a behavioral trigger/conditioning that caused...

    Martians could likely only have white/green/red/whateverface in the obviously inauthentic way, at least within their own culture, since they identify each other through telepathic contact rather than visual markers (which makes sense, considering they are shapeshifters).

    Any engineer (not that I am one) will tell you that redundancy increases the security of any system. And in DC-world, where the bullshit grows plentiful and you always have to be on the lookout to not be Worfed to show off how cool, smart, and handsome the new BBEG of the week (do not steal) is...

    That’s probably because the people writing these stories are for the most part not interested in nuance. The closest thing I can come up with (and I haven’t really plunged this site very thoroughly, either for this kind of story or in general) is Indulgence (an R34 Economy story set in Worm, by...

    I’m assuming Dox is either dead or incapacitated through some exotic New God-means, either through a direct attack by whoever is leading the Gordanians (probably Grayven-16), or by some countermeasure that he triggered when trying to scan/collect information about them. Him folding under the...
