To be honest, I suspect Alan's met a lot of big egos over his years of hero work. Both on the villainous side of the law, and on the heroic. And given some of the teams he's worked with, he's seen them at their best and their worst.
Still feeling frustrated by Cranius, OL?
Which Starman? The alien one? I suppose he might have been controversial back in the day...
That must have taken some serious digging. I doubt the guy had digital copies anywhere...
To be fair, OL... The sort of super-science Cranius works with would have been considered supervillainy.
...The same Robotman body from Doom Patrol? Impressive.
OL, most people don't want to be a super-powered cyborg. And if it has bad drawbacks, then it's understandable.
If you've got technology that can transfer brains, what's to stop you making artificial lungs anyway?
See? Drawbacks from heck. You'd have to be a strange person indeed to enjoy that.
Sure, but that means working with T.O.Morrow. Most people aren't that desperate.
Yes, because they wouldn't need to be supervillains. Sadly, their egos get in the way of simpel money-making. It's the Sauron (Marvel) classic: "I don't want to cure Cancer. I want to make dinosaur people!"
It's probably had quite the humbling effect on the culinary snobs of the world, certainly.
Isn't it always the way? Just getting a chance to relax, and someone calls...
Amusing that they use the same ringtone.
Well, that's a hell of a thing to start a conversation with. care to unpack that cryptic statement?
Definitely a positive influence. Whatever Bea might think.
Oh, no. He didn't suggest she enrol, did she?
You do understand that not everyone reacts reasonably when someone suggests they have a problem?
So yes, he is a professional.
Better than Black Canary, that's for sure.Why do I get the feeling 'blazing up' would take on a more literal meanign with her?
...OL, do not think of suggesting she meet Cranius!
...That high? Then again, she probably doesn't have many options yet.
They'd certainly be better placed to aggregate information, for a start, yes...
Ever seen old cowboy movies with the typical 'travelling medicine salesman' type?
...Boy, she's not big on basic phone etiquette, is she? Taking another call while she's talking to someone she called?
...And she put OL on hold?
Such is the modern generation, I suppose.
Well... I guess Guy and Tora deserve congratulations.
Should make for an interesting few months to come. Wonder if the ceremony'll be performed in her home village, his home town, or somewhere like the Hall of Justice. Watchtower is unlikely, it's still secret, and I suspect they'll have people they want to invite. Hopefully the League's presence will minimize any unwanted interference.
Yes, but it's the same body. Crane put his old body into storage and Caulder eventually acquired it.
"he'd probably"
Missing quotation mark after motives.
Thank you, corrected.
Huh. Is that a canon-retcon, or a you-retcon?
What, to have those moments, or for them to be visible? Seriously, the man is usually drawn tighter than... Something ludicrously stretched thin. And I doubt he's feeling all too relaxed these days, no matter how well he's doing.
So, Earth is now primarily set up to run on cosmic collectors for its' energy needs? I suppose Ted Knight would be overjoyed.
Remind me who that was? It's been a while. Not Veronica Cale, was it?
Heh. I suppose he's not had the best time of it previously.
And while he's mostly retired by this point... He doesn't have all day, Lex.
And you can keep their egos pointed in the right direction, in the case of the less stable geniuses.
No need to be so smug about it, Renegade.
And it sounds like said Lex taught him a few tricks for keeping his darker urges under control.
Sometimes, you need to corral those darker thoughts.
...I'm not even sure how that works. Suppressing the memories of the sessions... Would kind of invalidate any progress made, wouldn't it? Or was that just to make him forget who he spoke to? Edit: Ah right, he's having the therapist's memories wiped. Can't show any weakness himself, naturally...
Chunks of actual Grayven's memories, no doubt. I suppose having them makes the deception easier.
Admittedly, at this stage, he's not interested in said use. Kind of awkward.
The joy of having a Pony girlfriend and a bunch of loving kids.
...Oh, no. Don't do anything that'll cause backsliding.
And boy, would that be an eye-opener. I wonder if the Renegade's original form would appear as a spirit guide?
Not quite as embarrassing as the physical sort of closeness, but... Don't want any bits of the Renegade sticking in Lex's head.
So... Your second-most impactful option is... Getting high?
I suppose Lex could use some form of relaxation that isn't messing with Superman......And he's actually considering it. Show how tightly-wound he is.
It is interesting how close their looks are, given the appearances of Uxas' other sons.
Just a matter of hoping that He doesn't go poking you anytime before then.
Just the lowlies alone would be a hefty stumbling block. I doubt your armies would be willing to shoot down frenzied 'civilians' even as they're charging at them...
The joy of New God Narrative Combat. It'll come down to a fistfight between Him and the Renegade, possibly with Lex supporting him in a battlesuit, if He has His way.
Since I doubt Harmony would be willing to take action off of Wilson...
I assume this is intended as a tribute to scriviner? That's awfully kind of you, I know Inviolate had an omake where his Lex was hopping around after then epilogue, but I cant recall if you crossed your work with his before, as I don't remember a Gold Power Ring wielding Lex showing up.
That should say 'LexCorp'.
That should say 'that'.
This sentence seems awkward. I think it should say: "The only thing he cares about is learning more about the Anti-Life Equation, and forcing our brains to run it for a while might teach him something."
The Inviolate universe appeared in Episode 96: Repetition and Episode 97: Duplication. The Lex of that universe ended up in the Renegade's universe for a time, but I don't remember what episode showed that.
This isn't the only problem, I think? Though that likely is the most unworkable. There's a bunch of new god superweapons and exotic magic possibilities that some apokoliptians will have access to that I don't think they have a terribly good way to shield at scale against, There's a limit to the scope of which an overseeing new god without more specialized insight can really shield against that kind of thing. Plus, I'm not sure they can really stop a fleet from being overrun by new god elites and giant killer robots and the like as readily as they can deal with the more conventional spaceship stuff.
Thank you, corrected.
And was the only one not invented by Jack Kirby.
No, it happened on-screen. I couldn't tell you when, but I remember him showing up and investigating Renegade's Lex EDF and whether he is going to do anything stupid with it.
That makes more sense.
"legacy to color"; you can also change "allow" to "let" as an alternative.
