I think Kaldur is hampered by the fact that he's just not that great at any one thing, and if you're recruiting based on concentration of power (making a small League that is capable of fighting off alien invasions, as OL indicates the League is/was/should have been originally) then Kaldur is hurt by his lack of specialisation or inherent ability. He is significantly weaker physically than Kon or M'gann, has magic but has only been trained in war magic and so doesn't have the flexibility or skill of a more 'academic' caster like Zatanna, Queen Mera, Fate, etc. (as seen in his difficulty with detecting Sheeda in the last episode), and doesn't have any particularly notable skill at investigation, electronics, diplomacy/negotiation, or basically anything else. He's a good team leader but not a notable strategist or coordinator, good at fighting humans but can't throw down with Kryptonians or Martians; basically just a good street-level hero but not someone who can really help with fighting the sort of extreme threats the JL was originally formed to fight.
Given he was doing this in the US, adequate is defined by US drug/chemicle testing laws on the subject.
Yes, except that never happens. He was a League member for decades before anyone even knew that he could change colours.
I mean, the Controlled Substances Act specifies what drugs are illegal and in what ways, and does that partly through making various precursors and manufacturing chemical's illegal (or controlled, rather). Given this is a magic drug produced by a magic dryad using magic, it seems unlikely that US law covers it. As far as I can tell there are no Federal laws that prohibit purely novel drugs, and while there are restrictions and/or State laws governing selling new drugs or using them on people without their consent or public intoxication regardless of cause, I don't think there's anything in the law that would prevent someone voluntarily using a drug that they made that isn't actually explicitly illegal. There might be criminal liability attached if the user did something illegal or incurred harm due to the drug, but neither of those are the case. And we can probably assume that Green Arrow isn't going to push for OL to be prosecuted for drugging him against his will, given this is a training exercise.Given he was doing this in the US, adequate is defined by US drug/chemicle testing laws on the subject.
So I actually do know that it was not adequate.
No. I mean, you could break him into tiny pieces without permanently killing him, but he wouldn't be getting back together without a lot of help.
He was wearing a gas mask when he used his knockout gas, it's isn't mentioned when he removed it or even if he removed it before "dying" from the virus/poison.
Russian?
Leagueie Weagueies.
This sentence needs work.
*wait instead of want.
Taking it slow, of course. Not because of sonic booms, though... After all, Cold Guns are a thing.
Smart. And the benefit of superpowers.
A very good question indeed. And one much discussed across the internet.
I can imagine. Think about the first example there: running normal speed through a world of statues. You'd be bored stiff after a few subjective minutes, minimum, and what would cross-country sprints be like? An ultra-marathon?
Nice to see he handles the little things in passing...
Captain (now Major) Adams is a decent guy, though. None of the leaguers knew Dmitri.
It's probably good no villain has figured it out, either. All it would take is one laser sight...
Caught me for a second as to who was speaking which line, but it could work either way anyhow.
After all, Barry and Bruce are two of the League's best investigators. It makes sense they'd be lead on the background stuff.
Especially one with the pull to make multiple raids at once. Have they considered the possibility of a Cult, like the Shadows or Kobra?
And that thread leads them to...
A pretty obvious conclusion...
Bam! Give those two a bit of bonus XP for figuring that out.
And following up on theories. This is why these two are damn good.
Something the Greenies are no doubt vexed by...
Not really worth the haste. And the boom might cause a panic, you know DC citizens...
Love the interplay between old friends here.
At the very least, he'd find himself acting more cautiously, more aware of his own fragility. After all, besides his superspeed, he's an ordinary human.
Feel OL's pain!
Do keep up, Hal...
And if he can learn to keep his glow down, like OL has...
Cue on-site supervillain goon.
