Not great, not terrible. Their farm is a long way from the broadcasters and they have a clearly defined physical job to do each day, which is a definite advantage.
Her nature isn't common knowledge, and there was a lot going on.
That should say 'less'.
Missing color format.
So you're going with that origin of how Darkseid learned of the Anti-Life. Does that apply to any of the other universes we've seen in this story?
...Ouch. Well, that's one way to make an entrance. I'm guessing the Boy isn't smart enough for any tactic other than 'smash the big one'. And that, he's done with aplomb. Hopefully the others can deal with things while the Renegade puts himself back together.
Since the evacuation hasn't really gotten underway, and people are already turning up for work. Great. Collateral damage might rival Metropolis.
Cheap modern building versus extremely tough person equals world of cardboard.
Trying to catch your breath with a possible pierced lung is probably difficult, eh?
...Well, there's a look. And somehow, I don't think Boy'll slow down for anything.
"You're going to bring him into this? Are you sure?" Honestly, they need every hand they can get. And Superman would need too much prep time.
"Good point. Locating him now, and opening tube." Right, that is his origin here, isn't it? Running on reverse-engineered apokaliptian tech...
Hey, he does get better at the end of the movie, once his frame isn't in combat mode the whole time. It's still way too silver, but it's a start.
Like that defensive protocol that made his weapons systems go hot at the sight of a revived Superman...
So, he can look something closer to the comic book appearances, then. At the very least.
Kind of a rushed decision, but given his appearance and functioning before this... I can understand his willingness.
Interesting... 'Hail the God Machine'? Well, that is technically what he will be.
And not for his Father. Good plan. And the golden touch sounds like a swanky look.
"Perhaps not looking like a patchwork of man and metal?" I mean, able to switch at will is good. But his armoured form could hopefully look less like a skeleton rolled in a scrapyard.
"I suspect he'll enjoy having the parts he was missing restored." And that's surprisingly less than the comics, who was closer to a quadruple amputee plus internal organ and facial damage. Movie version looked more like the only bits left were half his head.
"This configuration should at least look better. Especially for his state of mind." Right, then. Probably not going to be the golden man of the Omegadrome era, but at least he's human-looking?
You can tell the Renegade is a father, can't you?
Or have some pants handy.
Since who knows what Boy's been up to in the couple of minutes that took? Given what Doomsday mark 1 managed...
Another Last Line member, or a Superfunctionary? The prison uniform suggests the latter.
If someone else has sent him in, then they just jumped up your punishment list.
Joy of dealing with psychics. They don't necessarily need eyes to see you, or hands to fight you.
Well, whatever they did, it's pissed him off royally.
Let's hope it wasn't attached to anything important. If it was, the Renegade should be able to patch it up...
Yeah, not letting him hang around here, no matter how useful he'd be in restraining Boy. The Renegade ain't that sort of leader.
...And of course the giant warship has a nursery. Presumably not just for the Renegade, though. A ship that big is basically a small country, and people gonna occupy themselves somehow.
...I suspect said family no longer exist. Especially if it's the Committee's work.
And that texture would be very rich, no doubt, because Movieverse. I'm betting something similar to the ray existed on Mars.
...Huh. There's an interesting detail I didn't know about the movieverse. Unless that's Mr Zoat's invention...
Since it might take too long to sit there doing it for him. Not with the Boy running around...
I tried looking this character up, but I couldn't find them. Can you give a link to their page in the DC wiki?
In at least one comic story, it was explained that Darkseid visited Mars in the past and learned that they achieved harmony with one another thanks to something that they called the Life Equation. He then posited that since there is a Life Equation, there must be an opposite that he could find and use for himself.
Thank you, corrected.
No.
No, but it's Checkmate (2006), issues 6-8.
Thank you. After seeing his story, I'm glad that he's with the Renegade now. Hopefully he hasn't been too traumatized over whatever's been done to him.
That should say 'go'.
So the Renegade needs to actually conquer a place to improve it directly? That explains why he was playing the less evil conqueror here.
Heartening to know that even in the future Renegade's daiklaves might as well be made out of paper mache. Also, "its".
Or she figures that the lesser of two evils is the better option. The Renegade at least said he'd likely let individual countries operate as they have been within his laws. His 'Father'? It's His way or no way at all...
Plus, you just gave him the mother of all Service Pack updates, which would definitely improve his mood.
Of course, the rest of the time... Well, we all know the history.
Eh, human nature can take care of it. Sooner or later, you're going to do something that pisses people off, and they'll inevitably try to rise up...
Bet that'd be a weird thing to receive out of the blue.
Heh, looks like he wasn't completely on board with this. Given that this version of the Last Line seem to be survivors of Metropolis and Doomsday's rampage... This probably looks heartbreakingly familiar.
More than likely, conquered by Apokalips.
Good to see they have principles, at least. Lines even they won't cross.
...There could have been more of the Boy? That's another thing on Waller's docket, then.
I hope they had some method of stopping him planned. Knowing that could be useful right now.
Given that the boy would turn him into paté, that's probably the best option.
...What's the bet Banks ends up trying to do something marvellously heroic and foolish to help stop this?
Yeah, the human eye is not exactly the most stable of firing platforms. Even when focused on something, it jitters. Which produces a lot of scatter at that kind of range.
...Oh, shit. Is Nate about to get cracked open? That's one firecracker you don't want going off.
Hopefully once the abuse stops, it heals itself quickly. At this point, he may well be handing out superpowers to anyone within a certain range.
And yes, it is that dangerous. Remember in the nineties when Lex Luthor wore a Kryptonite Ring? It gave him cancer, and he had to fake his death and get a brain transplant into a clone body to survive.
Hey, if you're claiming this world, then of course you're going to want to take care of it.
Putting a lot of trust in a complete stranger. That's probably going to count for a lot with them.
Yup. Just because he can't fly doesn't mean he can't jump real good. And with that much muscle pushing a close-to-human-sized body, that's a lot of force.
Goddamn. Kryptonian biology is bullshit with its material strength.
And that muscle also translates into a lot of speed. We're talking standing long jumps measured in hundreds of feet.
Good. Might need to put a dampener on that unless it's Nate about to lose containment...
Focus, Renegade. It's only a scratch.
Not quite diving into the Joker's head, but I doubt it's pretty in there...
Gonna need something big to do some damage. Probably a good thing Supes isn't here.
...Great, that probably just made him angry...
Angrier....Welp, time to bust out the 'disarming' jokes, because I suspect Doomsday Strength beats New God resilience.
Thank you, corrected.
He can't deliberately do a bad job.
Thank you, corrected.
He's a more powerful version of Doomsday.
Found another error. That should say 'friction'.
Yes, removing the fiction would leave a dangerously blank page.
Why bother her? Did the two of you make a deal earlier?
Lol! Good one!
Alot of Danner Formulating be useful right now.
There's a canon story where there exists a Get Out Of Jail(Hell) Free Ticket. If nothing else I respect Waller for being self-aware enough that she pulled out all the stops to acquire it for herself.
chance
Even ignoring the moral problems, when has 'give Doomsday to Darkseid' worked out well?
Thank you, corrected.
In his own head, yes. Talking to someone else, that could get confusing.
"fourth" at minimum, and probably "third- or fourth-hand"
Um... Gamma radiation punches through just about everything. It's alpha radiation that's blocked by skin.
"removes" I think.
Thank you, corrected.
Yes, but that would frame the discussion in a professional context when Grayven wants him to react as a person.
He's not Doomsday-lite. Having an actual personality aside, there's no strength difference between him and Doomsday.
