In setting (as opposed to for storytelling reasons), it may also be a product of however Krona's device that lets Jevek interact with the other universes works. The ones where the alternate has an orange ring may be easier to connect to in some fashion. It could also be a numbers game. Orange ring universes are a majority as far as we know.
Don't forget the M'kraan Crystal, which contains inside it an enormous timelocked city, a neutron galaxy, the afterlife and home base of all Phoenix Force hosts, and will cause a Big Crunch if broken.
Nah, that is a version of it from a different universe, this one has no mechanical function.
It would be hilarious if we're all waiting for a big event and it turns out that the guy is just utilizing the various Pauls as a way to catalogue and research the multiverse.
Thank you, corrected.
No, it's got all those things. The current universe just doesn't use them.
When the crisis with Krona happened, they couldn't find any alternates with a white ring, not that one doesn't exist or could appear at some point anyway.
Ooh, Sybarite, the alt!Paul that got his charge from consuming demons. There's one we haven't seen in quite a long time. I see he's stuck dealing with one of the Hell questlines now. Or simply recruited by virtue of his soul being 99% demonstuff now...
Or she chose the look during a makeover for intimidation factor amongst those who don't partake of her staff's services? She's management, she doesn't have to get out on the shop floor, so to speak, and get down and dirty...
It's a matter of aesthetics, I bet. She's probably trying to tap some primordial fear of early humanity.
Heh. I was kidding about his soul being mostly demon, bet evidently it hit closer to the mark than I thought.
...And he's now a Rhymer? Also, he's got a nice line on poetic burns.
Well, that doesn't sound very fun at all. Love what you do, and you'll never work a day in your life, after all.
So, is he just winding her up to distract her before he snacks down, or does he really not like her at all?
Not dying, for one thing. I would assume so, anyway. Unless he reads as so demonic to Hell's eyes they thought he was just a rogue Incubus...
Ah, Jevek. What amusing timing. I'm sure Sybarite could arrange an encounter for you with the lady.
Foolishly open-ended. Jevek really hasn't dealt with demons and devils before, has he?
Good luck with that, I suspect the majority of his family is already long-dead. Certainly, if Krona really is his brother, that might have been all of it.
Oh, that's worrying. A demonic entity to add to the mix? Alongside Dark Energon? This could be messy.
And now the alt!Paul from Earth-10 (whose alias I forget...) Overman's external conscience, to some degree. I see he's been taking full advantage of that relationship.
Sadly, not every revolutionary or collaborator type is actually good at governing. Still, it's probably not as excessive as some of England's more preposterous financial trickery.
Oh, my. Jevek showing up on national television? I mean, even the Fallout appearance wasn't that well-publicised.
There's that phrasing again. I really am getting the feeling that is not entirely the Pauls' thoughts.
...I think he might well call in Overman just pout of spite, if he doesn't get very good answers.
And 'X-Men '94' Orange Lantern? ...Wait, was Juggernaut working with the X-Men or not? It's been a while, and I wouldn't be surprised that xOL managed to talk him around.
Heh. It's no coincidence that some of the Imperial Guardsmen echo certain heroes from the Distinguished Competition. Though giving Gladiator a mohawk? I suspect that was all the artist's idea.
Dang! Now that's a whole new kind of atomic wedgie!
And in the process, leaving a nice big opening for Rogue to step in and drain him...
It depends on the universe, but this one? It's all good.
Well... Not for the average player. But with a little modding...
That is a big evolution of her powers, though it's one the comics have given her once or twice now. Not up on current stuff, so I have no idea what's happening with her right now...
Man, imagine if she did shapeshift that way when using her power. But if I remember right, she's got a little Mystique in there somewhere by this point. So it wouldn't last long.
Someone please inform Zoat how this will destroy the multiverse.
Your own link says there's only one of them and that it's a multiverse singularity.
At this point Jevek is just happy this one isn't attacking him.
She has not known her local Paul very long has she?
Both warhammer ones. The He-Man one. The stupid evil mind rapist one. The Angel one. The Alt history one that stopped The Race's invasion fleet.
Thank you, corrected.
Captain Planet and the Planeteers, Avatar, Kung Fu Panda, I'm not sure if the one in Ringman (part 1) and Ringman (part 2) is distinct or not, the one from The Ancestor (though I don't think that would make sense to have in. Actually is that the Alt history one you were talking about WereDragon?), the one from Gateway (again, I'm not sure he's distinct, and also it probably wouldn't fit storywise), Brimstone, Power Rangers (I think)?
All of these are the Paragon.
Unless Gateway is another name for Stargate, there's also Stargate
I think m_d is refering to the Gate / JSDF(?), which is also another Paragon from the future.
I'd have thought that Paul would've been GEoM by the modern era.
