With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

"Everyone's been telling me that they're nothing to worry about. It's just nice to have someone on the same wavelength as me where they're concerned. What in particular is it that bothers you about them? Is it the cultural elitism? Or the mind wiping? Or the bovine acceptance of-."
Have we considered "global SEP field spell" as a reason why no one's worried?
 
Perfect! Now all we need is sane Joker, and then we can start a sane Arkham villain club!

By the way, if Paul can't fix the Joker's brain with his Orange Ring because it would probably kill him, could Alan or Ghia'ta do it with their rings?
I think that was addressed in a discussion with Harleen at some point, something about being able to do a genetic reset but choosing not to because it would be too much like murder?
 
A few comments.

First, Tetch doesn't seem all that remorseful over the things he did as the Hatter, much less hijacking people now. He might saner, but he still doesn't respect anyone's personal autonomy.

Second, remember a few updates ago when Canis looked at a picture of Tetch in the Mad Hatter costume and was like, "Huh, looks like pretty normal Apocalyptian clothing to me."? That was nice foreshadowing!

I too am invested in Tetch now. Awakening as a New God certainly puts him up a tier as a threat, but also gives him a lot more potential. I kind of hope that the SI is able to recruit him to some kind of non-villain occupation after this. OL is employing people a lot worse than Tetch in the war against the Reach.

One dog that isn't barking— where exactly is Batman in all of this? Yes, he declined OL's call, but has his partner Mr. Atom really not noticed that some Peace Agents have gone rogue? It's been minutes now; plenty of time for Batman to be alerted and deploy what with his power ring and hush tube and all that. I guess it's possible Batman is in the middle of something so delicate and important that he can't be disturbed for anything less than "immediate world-threatening crisis," of which this admittedly doesn't qualify.

I'm not talking genetic. I mean repairing his brain damage without changing his genetic structure. We know Lanterns can do it, because it's happened before in the story. Remember Mister Huang?
 
"Darn it. Sorry, sorry."

"I'm glad that you appreciate your position."

"Yes, because now I've made as many supervillains as Ted has, so I can't hold his invisible cyborg chimp rampage over his head any more."

"I've hacked his control system! I know the true purpose of his slave-soldiers! And I will not let it happen, do you hear me!" Off With His Head!

"I understand completely. What exactly-"

The Peace Agents shudder, doubling over as blue armour plates begin growing over their skin!
It's really too bad Orange Lantern ignored all the Brother Eye warning signs...
