They were all objectively changes for the worse for a majority of people, at least in the short run? Depends on what it is he actually does. If the angels are right that he's a demon of stagnation or something, he's be perfectly fine with a small tribe taking over the Amazon, or the Anti-Life breaking everything.
Well he technically is interested in maintaining order.
And to do / or, I suppose 'And due to' though it doesn't really fit.
No, I don't think Smiley has any interest in allowing specific plotlines to play out rather than preventing the broad Earth setting from changing. Which he notably kind of failed at, since Earth is a massive mess after the Sheeda war and Anti-Life incursion, changing the setting from an 'Everyday in Earth DC' world to a 'Rebuilding after the End' world. Also I'm not sure if Smiley is so meta he recognizes plot lines as they're happening / knows the future through tropes, in this case Batman going off the deep end and creating the Brother Eye program to spy on all the Justice League or whatever it's for that Anarky has somehow noticed and begun fighting.
Huh. Would Lex keep some improved iterations of Telex machines going, for ego-related reasons?
Thank you, corrected.
Effect; unless video games have been lying to me all of these years.
Good to have confirmation that he's behind this. Not sure why he'd want to talk to Paul though. Displeasure that most of the recent advancement of magic is due to the actions of a surface dweller who is linked to a jumped up elemental?
For some reason, I feel as though something that will dampen that naivete will happen eventually. If that does happen, I hope she either gets to go back home or someone on Earth 16 can bring her spirits up again.
Thank you, corrected.
Is this Kara British / mimicking OL's speech? If not, should be "pick up lines"
I'm guessing she's upset about something, but in typical teenage fashion doesn't want to have to come out and say it unless he asks her to. Probably the massive disruption of the Atlantic and it's shorelines.
Ah. Right, a sonic construct that large would definitely have been audible to Kryptonians. And I take it she didn't like the loud, loud noise.
I assume some fish didn't make it. Hopefully there weren't too many extinctions from all this.
What do you think he's doing, hun'? And you can't blame him for this, since every Lantern on Earth was probably forming up to do the same thing around the expanding surge.
With a healing ray, I take it. Unless she actually does have some obscure kryptonian martial arts skill that can heal things... I mean, given the Silver Age, I wouldn't discount the possibility.
...'New Guy'? She means Conner? Well, I suppose to her he is new. No clone Superboys in her era, barring Bizarros. Edit: Ah, the Phantom Zone repatriate. While I could be wrong, I want to say... Mon-El?
Hard to stay angry at him when he's being so reasonable, isn't it? Can't even insult him because he takes it as a compliment.
To be fair, I'd have expected that years ago once Atlantis became public knowledge. Companies wanting to avoid ticking off the aquatic magical polity and all that.
Unfortunately, that is not necessarily a good thing for some of its population. Like the ones who have stronger aquatic adaptions...
Ah, the uplift wasn't completely even? By choice or by accident, I wonder.
Roughly in line with the proportions of their populations who are divergent from the 'pure' Atlantean form. Someone was definitely making a point.
Or whoever's in charge if he's unavailable...
Someone who doesn't want outsider 'wizards' poking their nose in, perhaps.
A rather extreme response to someone stickybeaking.
And for anyone else, that would probably have been a lethal response. There might be a few less wizards in the world, or at least ones with damaged scrying tools.
And it says so much about his life that that's a thing he can say with a straight face.
I mean, the League are handling things over at Poseidonis, clean-up's done... Not much else for the juniors to do.
She's basically just decided to hang around here for now, hasn't she? Too easy-going, the girl is.
Or there was a Crisis and he's forgotten about you. Wouldn't be the first time.
Silver Age comics, folks. a viewer that can communicate through time and space casually.
Let's not accept that? Who knows what universal metaphysical consequences her presence here is having that you simply haven't seen yet?
Probably not a good idea. Given how vulnerable kryptonians are to magical influence.
To be fair, given the absurd compression capabilities of kryptonian lungs, especially Silver Age ones... She could probably hold her breath for a week and talk by humming.
She's probably not. Too sincere for that, this girl.
Yeah, that goes without saying. But in this case, it really is... Until something goes badly wrong.
Sadly, OL's been a little too busy doctoring fish and aquatic mammals to worry about that.
I'm surprised OL hasn't been considering possible causes, like Ahri'ahn or Gamemnae. This is no small working, after all.
My, he's in demand today.
...Well, that's concerning.
...And there's the shoe, on its way down.
I think she means Match.
In the Renegade timeline, Ahri'ahn attacked the Un-Men for using Atlantean techniques in their procedures, so he probably sees it at barbarians utilizing things that only Atlanteans have the right to have.
Kara II is still vulnerable to magic, so unless she can attack Ahri'ahn so fast that he's unable to set up a defense and he didn't prepare one in advance, she's not going to be of much help in a direct confrontation.
That wasn't Ahri'ahn. That was another Un-Man who was getting help from Kobra.
Seems fairly rare for any of his body parts to go more than three to six months without needing replacement.
Paul's ego might not be that large but it is extremely dense.
Strange, in the other timeline he was too arrogant to care about talking with anyone.
He's arrogant, not stupid. He knows the Anti-Life affected the planet while he was consolidating power in Atlantis, and he probably had some way to monitor the situation outside of Atlantis, so he may be aware that the Anti-Life was only purged after OL returned from space and enacted some kind of secret/desperate plan.
