He doesn't have to, all he has to do is have her run her ring down to 0, then he can just change her orange ring to blue using his lantern.
It's been stated in story that she isn't suited for orange.
I could maybe buy that if we saw lots of examples of Paul doing this with his ring without actually deciding to do them, but having reread the story up through when he achieves enlightenment in the past couple of weeks, few examples ever occurred. Even when he wanted to augment Robin and Artemis, for example, he did not find that his ring had already done it for him, even when they were on a dangerous mission where a stray bullet could kill them because they weren't superhumanly tough.
I mean, wasn't the whole problem with the Manhunters a classic example of what happens when you poorly design an AI to be a weapon/tool and not a person?
All rings can do that, they're standardized things that can gain a charge from any lantern type so long as you can channel the correct type of emotion. (See New Guardians.)
It was pretty much her last real appearance that had her faltering because she wasn't suited for the color.
Yes, because he put a lot of effort into guarding against it, then either went with it or didn't care.
I didn't say they learned the right lessons.
Just green, though there are drawbacks to all of the colours.
Also, IIRC, Tamaraneans are, unlike humans, capable of feeling multiple emotions simultaneously. That's why Teen Titans Starfire is able to fly and shoot fire simultaneously, when she needs to feel joy to do the former and righteous anger to do the latter. If she's better suited to wield other ring colors, that just means that she'd find it easier to wield multiple different rings simultaneously.
My point exactly. Kori wasn't able to maintain her avarice in that instance.
Introduces some interesting questions...
Oh, the New Guardians are around. I doubt that I'll be using them as a team, though.
No, though the 'needs to be connected to the ring' thing appears to have been wrong.
Not at a level of refinement any character in this story is likely to reach. Certainly, blue has no special in as far as conversion is concerned.
She was trying to save as many non-psions as she could. Not an unreasonable position for her to take, but she could have saved more people in total if she was including psions.
Yellow has a relatively minor downside, encouraging the user toward sociopathy. I haven't fully worked out what I want the others to be.
True, but power rings work strongest when the user focuses on a single feeling. The Renegade experimented, and while he can use yellow and orange together the result is that both are weak.
Could Paragon now use both Orange and Violet together without weakening either?
He doesn't know. There wouldn't be all that much point even if he could.
And I am noticing that OL promptly forgot to tell Koriand'r (and hopefully Komand'r at some point) to not bring it up again, given the whole Amalak hating Kryptonians thing.
