Good job handing this Universe to Trigon by the way.
And with a multi-disciplinary super-genius like Holt, those ideas can be creative indeed. Not quite at 'Reed Richards is useless' levels, since some of his stuff probably does make it to general market releases... But I bet big, world-changing stuff was too expensive to get cleared for the public... Bet he has a line of smartphones called T-Phones or something like that.
...Ew. Thankfully nothing used the opportunity to come through... Yet. With Rakkar gone, I suspect the Lords of Hell are sorely tempted to make their own moves on a vulnerable Earth...
Oh, boy. He's awake... And hopefully clean, by the sounds of it.
Oh dear, is he suicidal... Again? Given his heroic career started after a visit from the Spectre last time he was this low... Who knows what he's going to do this time.
I see he's been busy. Not bad for under an hour's work. While dealing with multiple puncture wounds to all limbs.
Hopefully they weren't like a Gae Bolg's wounding effect... That would have been nasty. Though he's suffered worse in the comics, including surviving a trip to the Arctic with broken ribs...
...Wow, okay. That is not how I expected Batman to go out.
Surprised you didn't offer a Danner upgrade at the same time. Even at the peak of human capacity, and freshly rejuvenated to his physical peak of that... He's still only human.
Worth remembering, this is not Michael's first ride on the Parallel Universe party bus. 'Infinite Crisis', for a start...
Awkward. How to best explain it...Right, smartest man on Earth right now. Of course he'd twig to their origin...
Plus, they'd already made contact with Earth-16, technically.
And they would see nothing to be rehabilitated from, having grown up in that world. As far as they're concerned, other Earths are aberrant. Though thankfully, they can't do anything about it. Not if Overman has any say in the matter.
Yes, do tell. Is he awake? Suicidal? How much did he experience of his possession?
Huh. Let's hope he does wake up. Who knows how Kryptonian souls and demons interact?
I suspect if the Sheeda looked at this period, they'd probably go 'Nope! Nopenopenope!' and pick another era.
..And? I'm sure there are other places that survived? Or are you just focusing on ones you bothered to find?
So, smaller tribes might have gotten off relatively scot-free... Traumatised, but not badly harmed? I bet the Accala made a bit of a mess in their part of the world...
If anything I suspect he's feeling a lot healthier than he ever has in a while... The problem comes down to his friends and allies, though...
Ah, yes, his atheism... No Heaven, no Hell... Just alternate worlds with unusual native lifeforms, huh? But... He's probably right about the warlord thing. Sure, some people might be hurt or killed as they take over, but those who play along... They'll be alive, if nothing else.
Though he's probably committed each and every name and face to memory. If their families are still alive, he'll want to make things right by them...
After all, the world needs heroes right now... And because of Rakkar's targetting Superman's friends and colleagues, they're in short supply, I bet.
After that, any problems are the Justice League's to deal with. Though I suspect Dox is going to have quite a headache after reading his report of his 'days off'...
I suspect Michael could handle it, if he can keep his goals in focus.
Oooh. The Guardians have no idea what they're unleashing... Or they want a firm hand watching over the Life Entity's holiday home...
His stance changes slightly as he gets confirmation.
That was a minor Green lantern character form the early Kyle Rayner period. Purgatory, an amputee who connected emotionally with Kayner in a chance meeting. Kyle empowered him with a little Will energy, which he used to create leg constructs... Ended up being tricked by Neron into selling his soul for more power.
Thank you, corrected.
Are you talking about the Accala, the superpowered Brazilians? If yes, then I doubt they're having the time of their lives on a world like this.
Bet he has a line of smartphones called T-Phones or something like that.
Either way, Paragon re-checking inwith this dimension's GLC could be useful. Did the Guardians of this universe do anything to prevent Earth's demonic corruption from possibly corrupting Mars and reactivating the Burners? Or did they just observe that no corrupted force was willing to leave Earth's thaumosphere?
True. Though I don't remember Demonic Martian Manhunter being around.
I don't remember that in WoZ or in the story; where was that stated?
No.
It's not permanent. Flash 16 does know it.
Canis is a sort of medium brown that would require a human to have a very specific set of ancestors to achieve. Orion Issue 15 wasn't exactly a high watermark of artistic clarity.
No idea if it was intended, but to me he 'sounded' almost hopeful that it would.
Convenient, but I suppose that now the mass possession/influence is over it has a chance to actually select someone.
If anything, holding off on applying such until all doubt of lingering demonic possession (or destructive suicidal tendencies) was gone is probably for the better.
That or they'd be forced to play "hero" as otherwise there probably wouldn't be any future civilizations to invade later.
Do they even know it's there?
Where did you think Abin Sur came from?
...
Giving Mr. Terrific an Orange ring to experiment with might work out but I don't think that's something you wanna risk right now considering he's the only person fit to lead and him going insane could screw this earth even worse than before.
Could you refresh my memory on that one?
Yup.
Holt would likely excel in running Earth 666 just as he would excel in anything he tries. But I think it is clear in chapter that is something that he won't want to do.
Holt seems like the kind of guy that has mastered delegation. He is able to assess a situations full scope and will do the tasks that others cannot. He will get others to take control of the simpler task that would interfere in his own progress. For his old company this meant he did the inventing while others kept the company running and made sure the inventions got sold.
