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

[CrazyNoVa]

In my story, Thundercats Earth is a necropolis. Third Earth is way across the galaxy.

Sorry, I meant the Thundercats universe where Lord Protector got stranded in.

On his own, yes. But with others, not so much. I agree that Paul might not be able to defeat Scion or the Endbringers by himself, but he would still be much more useful or versatile in a fight than any of the villains he's killed.

His versatility doesn't matter unless it can grant him the exact same capabilities as the villains he's killed.

And it can't.

Endbringers/Scion are beyond a Lantern's ability to fight.

And?

They're beyond the ability of most people in the setting to fight.

That doesn't mean that he can't be useful in helping people by evacuating civilians or bringing heroes on the scene much more quickly than anything else.

And Lanterns can fight the Entities and Endbringers, because they've done some truly bullshit things in various settings.

I want to point out here that the vast vast majority of settings with reincarnation tend towards the Sailor Moon end of the spectrum instead of The Mummy one.

Meaning this is just him insisting that the universe should run on his personal logic instead of him acting in a measured and sensible manner

Or he doesn't wanna risk because he's freaked out and thinks it may not be worth it.

Yeah, it's not like a power ring can't create giant monsters like Lung or create spikes like Kaiser.

Oh wait, yes it can.

Yes, it can. Power Rings are more than capable of doing those and then some. The abilities of villains like Lung or Kaiser can easily be replicated by a Power Ring. Hell, in Kaiser's case, I'd argue that Power Rings are even better, because they can transform and manipulate matter far better than he can.

When I say "exactly the same" I mean exactly the same.

Power Rings can duplicate the effect, they can't duplicate the method, and for Worm the method is just as important as the effect.

Or even worse, because Widbow once chimed in on a thread about "what if a Superman SI showed up" and part of the explanation was that an alien being around suddenly means Scion has purpose again because safeguarding the cycle from alien interference is the Warrior not Thinkers job to handle and in Paul's case what do you know, there's a while planet right there, guarded by the guy interfering...

An author on spacebattles once had his YJ SI show up on Earth Bet and Scion took notice.

He then promptly ran as far away as possible.

The reason he did this was because he also took a peek at the DC multiverse and saw the myriad things there that can and will turn him into paste if he gets any ideas.
