No. He's literally convincing the universe that gravity works in the wrong direction.
Middle name plus mother's maiden name.
3% complete.
Not strong enough.
He began in space, but near Junkion rather than Earth.
It's not really practical. Just about any sort of shield he could make would block air, and he's not that good at that sort of technique anyway.
I'm not surprised he's the one here. Besides his closer sympathies to the Genomorphs, he's a more Compassionate individual than Conner (who is more aligned with Fury.)
An unexpected meeting, but not an unpleasant one. And given how distant he's been, it's not like they'd keep him constantly posted on their activities.
Ah, she's not familiar with Kryptonians, then. No doubt they never made it to her corner of the galaxy over the centuries.
Wonder if OL mentioned the personal wards to her. Her people probably have other methods for protection from magic, but it's certainly an interesting alternative.
And with a name like that, I can't help but picture a short humanoid with big, flappy ears...
I mean, Dubbilex probably already knows he's here, given the interlinked nature of the Genomorphs.
It's kind of impressive, I know. Some species really win the superpower lottery... Or cheat using bio-engineering.
And yes, that mythological naming scheme is a part of their appeal. Though the G-nomes have the most punny one.
Preferably with vocals, not telepathy. I expect there are rules of etiquette on her world about mental magics.
And how shocked was she by the contact? Depending on whether her world has that kind of thing.
He says it so casually, that even though it sound insane, you want to believe him. Such is the joy of Earth Bullshit™
That you know of. Who knows with time travel these days?
...Does her world have time magic? Or at least the theoretical ability to discuss the mechanics of it? because that stuff is confusing.
Like, say, an Orange Power Ring. But simple cleanup like that is probably not a priority over essential utilities and minimum standards of living.
A Lusca? Since the oceans may be clean, but there's no guarantee they'll stay that way?
IT was that clear in that momentary contact? Then again, as a ruler, she's probably got a great many things she doesn't want other people learning from rummaging around in her head.
...Hmm. Is surgery even a thing on her world, or has healing magic made it less necessary? I could see it going both ways.
Another mythological inspiration, eh? Have to wonder how the collective comes up with their naming scheme.
Pretty bad shape, even for modern living. Nature of Hub City, i suppose.
As a reminder, the 'Three Worms' of Chinese mythology. Appropriate to use the name of things that seek to make the host sick for something that makes them healthy.
Good to see they're being careful, having been burnt once.
"I'm not just the president of the company, I'm a customer."
So, about half the galaxy, with adjustments. Seriously...
Let me guess, one hand or set of hands with surgical scalpel-grade claws, another dextrous enough to suture injuries.
Joy of being able to customise their physiology as they do. At any rate, I hope the surgeries aren't being performed in plain sight, or there might be extra mess in the building...
'performing'
'set of'
I imagine it's more appealing if you're a drug addict who can no longer access the drugs you're addicted to, and you live in a ruined city with very poor medical care to protect from disease and withdrawal.
these
Sort of. G-lusca are named after them due to their need for a tank of fluid to live in, but they're actually organic supercomputers.
They're not tough, they're flexible. If the host is squeezed enough to damage one then the host is probably dead anyway.
Thank you, corrected.
They were born a while ago. I think the eldest are a little over one?
Depends. If it literally was Robert, nothing much. There's not enough magic involved. If it was a general draining effect, they'd be hurt, but ripping someone's soul out is usually fairly dangerous.
I was confused as all hell before I remembered that, oh right, this guy is the reincarnation of Hitler. (I think?)
If anyone wants to picture him, imagine a healthy, younger Hitler, with a tan and no (or a better) moustache, speaking English with a Brazilian accent. Currently working as an architect and city planner after his family left what is now Accalacan.
Architectural design does make use of more specialised artistic skills than most art forms. As well as engineering knowledge (for building materials) And a solid sense of history. Also evidently quite the organisational skillset.
Well, that would be a heck of a step up in his career.
That's fair. All this was a bit off-the-cuff by OL. Perhaps, with Helmut's steady hand giving it some consistency, Hub City could become one of the most beautiful cities in DC America.
I can see this being a job too big for one man. And evidently he's been considering his health.
A wise man listens to his wife. It's good to see him so passionate about his work.
One of the ultimate superpowers: All the Money.
Reasonably devout, I see. Hopefully he isn't suffering any PTSD from using the Spear of Destiny to stab a nazi.
And thankfully for a better reason than his genetic original.
He might well join the headiest of heights amongst other grand, famous architects.
To be fair, she probably doesn't really have a point of reference for the designs yet. They basically came straight here from Themyscira, didn't they, no stops to see other modern Cities...
Heh, I've seen rooms like that before. Usually a result of rapid rearrangement of offices or other workspaces...
Heck, if she didn't do it OL probably would have.
An incongruous image, a magical lady in what I'm betting is a tubular-frame steel chair with a plastic seat.
Ah, looking to hear about it form someone other than OL, I see.
I think they get the sentiment. Not everyone can be empowered like that, as much as OL would like it that way. Some people definitely shouldn't.
Good for her. I can't imagine keeping this hole running would be peaceful and relaxing.
Definitely would have got a few sceptics on side, I suspect.
Hey, OL can work fast, but not that fast. Besides, he's been busy.
Something of a 'lift yourself by your own bootstraps' situation, huh? Need at least one factory running to get investments, but you need investments to get one running?
It's funny how many alien planets in fiction do operate on 'one world, one government' ideals...
TO be fair, it's not really able to do much yet, other than handle bureaucratic stuff for the League... I assume so, anyway.
And would need to be very carefully handled to prevent other nations from getting annoyed and/or trying to horn in on them.
Eh, it's like getting a boulder rolling. Takes a lot of sweat and grunting, but once it shifts... The hard part will be stopping it from rolling too fast.
Eh, once things are set up, it's easier to grandfather them into existing arrangements.
And given what was said about him before, it's not necessarily a good thing. Heck, I'd be lying if I didn't think this would have been a perfect time for someone to pull a replacement gambit.
To be fair, a lot of said 'thrones' on Earth are still wobbly if not outright empty.
I don't recall the number of kids either but you got most of the rest of the details correct. To clarify, Mr. Schreiber is actually a clone as you called him and not a reincarnation, since Hitler's soul was sent to hell and is probably unrecognizable. The Nazi villains, which were Captain Nazi and his wizard brother, were trying to get the secret Hitler clone to do a ritual and summon whatever was left of Hitler's soul. What exactly they were trying to create I can't remember.
OL should know well enough to at least wave a runestone around, especially after the whole Vega video game debacle.
Just a clone, not a reincarnation. The guy who made him intended to just eject Schreiber's soul and use his body as a vessel to drag back whatever remained of original Hitler's soul from hell, and then use that as a focus to build some ideal magical embodiment of fascism or something.
Build enough cities on enough worlds and he might be more memorable than the other guy.
Prestidigitation and Mending. Never go adventuring without them.
Yes, that's what she assumed.
Interesting. His empathetic vision only lets him see fear? Or can it also work for other emotions? If it only works for fear, how come the Paragon can see all emotions? Something to do with desire being fundamentally connected to all emotions in some way?
They can read hieroglyphics? Or is the expanded vocab a consequence of him explaining the dicks?
Observing the average shonen protagonist must either be highly entertaining or highly infuriating.
Well that's cute.
A bit selfish of her, or perhaps there's another reason.
Well that's rather grim. Pretty creative though.
He does not give a shit does he. But the safe experimentation is pretty neat.
Phew, at least the tea's alright.
YetWell, that went... About as well as could be expected. At the least, she didn't toss him down and pulverise his pelvis...Yet
Why is there always so much BS? How the hell do you even beat these fuckers.
Won't it kill him if he runs out of charge? Or did he put it in a cavity or something? Perhaps he changed its shape and made it fit in an unobtrusive way within his skull?
How does that even work? I can understand space-bending and partial orange light transformations for FTL travel, but does it use a predictive algorithm or something for this? If it's detecting the distortions in space-time caused by hostile FTL travel, does that mean there's an upper limit to its detection speed?
Am I forgetting something? Did Jevek already pay him a visit for that world's reasources?
Lucky bastard
Quite a bit has happened in a short amount of time huh. As for the rural primitivism, can't he just change stuff with his ring?
And cat-children.
I forgot how he charged using this. Something about harnessing the deepest fears within his soul?
Huh?
He's seeing residual emotion, not emotions being felt by people.
They know what penises look like, and they might ask to have it explained.
No.
Very well, thank you.
It happened off-page, but was mentioned in an earlier section. That SI took scans of the remains of dead superheroes for him.
Yes.
Then he knows nothing.
For orange I just use color=orange.
Thank you, corrected.
Wasn't it Grayven that wanted Earth to be an Empire?
And I wouldn't say that most space-faring species are Monarchic. There are more than a few examples like that, but I also remember others that look like some form of Federation but with Imperialistic tendencies or other forms of government.
