They both have the same memories of Controllers, and neither have personally encountered them. The only reason why they'd respond differently is if Peter had forgotten about them.
Or, more likely, that Jevek isn't synced up. He seems to be approaching alternates when their situations are stable but still in enough want to work for him; he isn't randomly poking his head into their lives whenever he gets the chance, I think.
By that logic he should expect it to be Doctor Doom.
Nah, Doom isn't obsessed with Paul so he's not going to be the cause of inexplicable weirdness to Paul that often.
Thank you, corrected.
If you live in Eastbourne then you can borrow mine.
Glad you liked it.
Doom is obsessed with anything that can get him power.
Probably because a grumpy dictator means a bad time for whoever he's feeling grumpy at. Especially the more despotic types. So a happy Viltrumite is a safe Viltrumite, at least towards his allies.
It's significant that he doesn't walk much anymore, does he? Do any Viltrumites generally walk when they could fly?
I presume it's a little above Earth's 'normal' tech level, and possibly requires more exotic materials. So a smart idea to avoid relying solely on it.
Too expensive to get out otherwise, I'll bet. And the dust released in the air from them getting knocked over is probably easy for Paul to clean up.
Since I doubt Viltrumites are known for their medical technology...
Heh. that is kind of that he is, isn't he? As will most of humanity's military, if the Vltrumites allow them to rebuild one.
Man... Imagine how much more powerful he'd have been with a Yellow Ring...
A very common look these days, I bet.
And Mark still seems to think he's the good guy here? I guess Viltrumites have superhuman talents at self-deception too.
A last great act of defiance...
Good thing he can regenerate his body, because working with Mark must be very bad for his blood pressure...
Makes you wonder why she's alive. I doubt they need intelligence on the resistance from her.
...It says a lot how casually he says that, doesn't it?
He's probably fortunate DC and Marvel Comics publications don't seem to exist in the Invincible universe (given that Mark didn't recognise the Avengers during a crossover...)
That may be beyond even his powers. This Paul doesn't seem as proficient with the orange Light as OL is, so likely no Desire network rewriting or even branding.
...She makes you hot for her, huh? Viltrumites definitely seem to have a thing for strong-willed lovers they can break...
You do realise she'd rather be dead, then?
...Shit...
What'll he do if Paul can't convince her?Because of course it's a secure chamber...
...So, do they have rooms in there, or does he stop by whenever they have a shift change?
Never a fun moment, walking into an established group's space. Like being a transfer student walking into a classroom...
...And did they have to do clean-up with a mop, or..?
I can just imagine them wincing when he says that.
..Yeah, that was definitely a wince moment.
That's only really a matter of force applied, isn't it? Can he regenerate from being reduced to a literal paint-job?
...Unless he somehow respawns on Earth. And honestly, from what I remember, that might well be possible.
I'd have said he could heal her, but really, fixing her up without fixing everything might be tricky. and if she breaks out, he's not going to live much longer unless he joins up... Which just delays his probably-inevitable death at Viltrumite hands a little.
Another common sentiment around this reality, I suspect.
Yes, actually. Not quite sure how, but he's gotten up after being definitively killed before.
Thing is, he's not usually shown as being particularly angry. Ruthlessly murderous, yes, but not angry about it.Man... And I though Anti-Green Paul (now Gold Lantern Paul) had a shitty situation. He at least knew he'd probably come back from dying. This Paul doesn't even have that hope, only a constant dread of Invincible's fury... Much like the rest of Humanity, I suspect. And sooner or later, Mark will snap, or one of the Viltrumites decide Earth doesn't need all those annoying Humans...
No one knows that because she hasn't died yet.
Hows this one charging then? fear?
Most versions had to get involved in fighting, and adapted as a result. This version hasn't. The Global Guardians
Maybe he just thinks the somewhat shorter version works better.
I could say something about it being a translation, but honestly I just got it wrong.
'into'?
'breakthrough'?
'when she found'
'dressed'
This link seems identical to the other one earlier in the same chapter. Was this intentional? Am I missing something?
'past'? But I'm really not sure.
'is to'
'running'?
'takes'
'to'
Extraneous 'a'
'it's'?
'of an…'?
Unfortunately I'm a few hundred kilometres off. Thanks for the offer, though.
We know that 'telekinesis supressors' exist - though I don't think we've seen any application of that technology that would even pessimstically need a range of more then a few meters, beyond whatever the psions ended up using the capture Adam Blake. Even if it isn't traditionally 'interdictable' it's probably still possible to interfere with something usable in melee or maybe mountable to a specialized torpedo. Worst case, there's some relatively simple scarab-shiftable telekinesis supression device that basically turns off all the advantages of being an Effigy, but here's to hoping that Jevek thought of that.
