Oh, joy. So Mark doesn't really have any idea of how to fight people of comparable strength. No wonder his default tactic is 'fly in, super-punch'

So I can't say anything for the comics, but Mark seems to have one additional trick for specifically fighting Viltrumites that isn't just "Hit them. Then hit them again." Against his Mohawk self and Conquest, he slams both his fists into his enemies ears. Kind of like clapping someone's ears. Assumably, this somehow also took advantage of the hearing weakness of Viltrumites. Which is why this can stun and/or damage them.

Thank you, corrected. Also, I've learned a word today.

@Mr Zoat, is there a Paul in the Injustice universe comics or game?

Someone did say something about modding one in, but that was a couple of forums ago.

Probably not? It doesn't really seem all that interesting, and I imagine that his story would be pretty close to that of the Flash.

You mean indecisive until the plot says otherwise? I just brought it up cause the way this Paul immediately rolled over to the invincible world seemed odd to me

Having just watched the game's cut scenes, it seemed to me that the Flash considered the Regime better than the alternative until it became obvious exactly how round the bend Superman had gone. If a version of me was dropped off in a world like that and managed to stay relevent, well... It's Superman. I'd trust him.

Yeah I get that.

Although thinking about it I envisioned my SI dunking Lois' body into a Lazarus Pit.

Let Lois go "What the @$$#$ are you doing, Clark?"

Okay, but what about Sinestro? Didn't you once say that your ideals and Sinestro's plans are ultimately incompatible? Or would you try to sway Superman away from Sinestro?

Furthermore, what about Billy's death? Would you try to prevent it too?

You know, that's an interesting point: Why hasn't High Councillor Superman tried that? Considering how crazy he is, you'd think that he wouldn't have any qualms about resurrecting her with a Lazarus pit.

Was there a body? The only reason I can think of for not doing that is if it was entirely destroyed.

In the game, Sinestro is basically running a high-end police force. The SI would be fine with that version.

Sure, but it came out of nowhere and there's no reason for a neophyte superhero to be in that room.

Rough guess? Either there wasn't a body, or the writing wasn't very good. Some of the things I've seen in the little bits of the comic I read...

Clark cradled Lois' body in the ruins of Metropolis and then gave her body to Wonder Woman before he went to find Joker.

So yeah, my vote is bad writing.
 
I think the comics use the Lazarus Pit to bring back Alfred? But yeah, it's weird/bad writing that it's never a plot point to bring back Lois, or Superman, immediately revealing his secret identity to the world like his parents aren't still alive and easily hurt.

Well, that's the problem right there. She probably dropped the body in a woodchipper "by accident". Injustice Diana saw what was happening to Clark, and decided it was really hot for some reason.

'Cus Injustice isn't just a "if Superman went bad" world, it's a "if the entire Trinity went bad (in different ways)" world.

Yeah, that decision always baffled me. Why the hell would he reveal his secret identity when his parents are still alive and could get threatened by his enemies? Hell, that's exactly what the government does later to make Superman stand down: They kidnap his parents, because now they know who he is.

Nah, probably not. Considering how obsessed with Lois this Superman was, he was probably keeping a constant eye on the body, so Diana wouldn't have had an opportunity to get rid of it.

But the comics showed that he still leads his own version of the Sinestro Corps, just like in this universe. And his methods are just like the Sinestro in the main continuiy. He's not that different from the Sinestro in your story either.

To be fair, that version of Billy had been Captain Marvel for several years before the events of the game, so calling him a neophyte is a bit of a stretch.

Also, he had been a member of the Regime for a long time too, so including him in the room does make some kind of sense. Besides, they allowed Grundy to take part of the meeting, didn't they?
