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

I just wish The Team had to deal with Truggs’ antics rather than Paul. He’s competent enough to escape them if Paul is working elsewhere.

 

source please? is it not easier to put the name on imgbb?

 

Nylor Truggs

He’s a villain I love to hate.

 

Thank you, corrected.

Good news! She's not a zombie.

The picture is taken from Countdown: Arena. Red Son Superman and another version of Superman start fighting and a version of Chris Kent does that.

Superman issue 666. She's in about two panels.

No. Sources vanish from the internet all the time. I want my images stored somewhere.

 

Honestly, that's why I like him.

 

Huh. Zoat just got me lost on a wiki Dive for like 10 minutes lol.
Sounds like an very interesting figure. Was able to talk himself out of Death penalty and was left to live in peace inside the nation he was at war against. After leading a Guerilla War against them for 10 years.

Man had A++ Charisma lol

 

Supergirls. Gotta catch em all!

 

Wait, does Nylor have his own harem of Supergirls?

Anyone else picturing him and Paul passing them around like children's trading cards?

 

This is good and I really like Paul's interactions with Nylor, but why didn't Paul just put him in jail the moment he had him captured and all his tech confiscated?

 

The zombie-like Supergirl is from Superman 666, where Rakkar the Nothing, Last Demon of Krypton's Hell, tried to turn Supes into the Beast of Revelations via a corruptive dream. Except Supes' friends saw it coming and Supes tore the demon apart.

Spoiler: Rakkar

Spoiler: Rakkar outsmarted

 

Look he is a villain with good ideas and poor execution... That's not rare in DC.

Unfortunately humanity tends to be reactive not pro active, if DC humans actually had USED the tech they had, the Reach would have lost.

POWER RINGS EQUIVALENTS MADE IN THE FORTIES DAMMIT!

It doesn't matter the Gravity Rod/Star Rod is inferior to a power ring, give enough of the population one of those and with that alone the Reach would had a hard time. And that's just ONE FREAKING INVENTION, THERE IS A LOT MORE!

 

Because if anything explodes it will take him with it.

 

And for extra fun zombies probably aren't the best choice against angelic Thaumauturgy

 

I normally wouldn't respond to a post so old unless I had something meaningful to contribute, but this scene was just too good for me to merely leave a Like as a sign of my approval and gratitude.

This was great, thanks, Zoat!

 

Noticing some corrections on a re-read:

Council

One of the two single quotes is wrong.

Usually "boorish" but I acknowledge she may be comparing Zeus to a pig.

I WAS going to make a smart-aleck response about gelatine still being explosive, but apparently in British English that's just how "gelatin" is spelled. Guess this one doesn't need anything after all.

 

Oh THAT'S not good.

 

Brutal, but effective.

Actually, if what you were afraid of was possible, it would've already happened. Since Native Kara has shielding, the kryptonite isn't affecting her. However, they should probably give Innocent Kara shielding too, just in case black kryptonite can affect her.

 

Brutal.

Welp, Loriel still doesn't like demons.

Not surprising after everything you've done.

I get the feeling she's learning from Paul here.

Not necessarily, though he is most likely taking advantage.

This is not good.

Well fuck.

So either this is a separate, evil version of Kara, or like the BWL version this is a Kara who is more savage.

 

.... Well do we get to count an "Evil" black kryptonite clone as a seperate instance of supergirl or is that only half of one? Just need to make sure the count is correct

 

"but I'm not really prepared to fight the Source"

Good on you Paul for realising your lim...

"yet. "

...nevermind


It would be fun if it turns out the black kryptonite works on Paul for some reason.

"That will be thirteen-point-two-four Supergirls, sir. Card or cash?"

 

It depends.

Black Kryptonite can split you into Good and Evil versions of yourself. It can also just make you evil.

And honestly, I don't think there'd be a point in mentioning the black kryptonite in this context if she wasn't about to attack him. "Never better" is like the most cliche "they're evil now and about to attack you" line you can give if someone asks if you're okay.

 

Paul equally tired of Nylor's shit.

To be fair, it isn't totally wrong way to think since you know they will be okay later.

I really hope Paul is just playing dumb here so as not to trigger evil Kara.

 

Wow. I think this is the first time Paul had wanted to un-exist someone badly enough to colour his speech black.

 

Surprised there wasn't a Renegade interrupt in there, before the maiming.

 

The joy of someone who's actually proficient in super-powered combat, I see. When you can fly as well as a Kryptonian, any surface counts as ground. At least the zombie Supergirl seems to just be brawling, so she's manageable...

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Well past the point of negotiation, Truggs. Either shut her down, or...

...Okay, OL is pissed. Looks like even he has limits on his patience for skullduggery.

So, immune to local Kryptonite. That's to be expected, if she's interdimensional.

Yeah, best not to get in the way of too many of those.

Ow. A rare chance to experience what it feels like to get hit by a truck.

Fan service, that ain't. Interesting that her clothes aren't covered by her invulnerability, like most Kryptonian variants. You know, like Post-crisis Superman had a forcefield around his body just large enough that his tights were protected but his cape wasn't?

Friendly fire, Loriel! Do we need to give you a lesson on checking your Area of Effect?

Evidently he's still got enough 'bad' energies for her theurgic energies to treat him as 'evil'...

...Dammit, Kara-1... Girl needs to learn some impulse control.

Go easy, OL, she's only been on Earth a couple of hours. She's only, what, fourteen?

Eugh, nope... Mouth stuff is extra-skeevy.

Given that there may be more Supergirl variants lurking... Probably best to leave putting Humpty-Dumpty back together for later, yes...

And again, her youth comes through loud and clear... I rather suspect seeing the recordings from Earth (assuming that's how she knows Earth stuff) wasn't quite as... visceral as getting this close. I can't imagine the smell is any better for her.

In other words, check before you go poking things in a supervillain lair.

He done goofed. He played the stupid game, and won a prize!

What the hell has she been learning?! You do realise it still hurts, kara?

Save it for later. If she's going to be hanging around, then you can educate her.

Whoa! Mistake #n+1, Kara! Cloth plus burns equals pain-in-the-ass to clean up.

So, if she recovers, that'll add, uh... 'Post-Infinite Crisis' Supergirl to the collection? Geez, it really is turning into 'Gotta Catch them all!' I'll be watching for the LEGO Supergirl. (And won't that be a sight? A human-sized LEGO minifigure...)

Kara-16 and Dana? Let's hope Zombie there didn't literally go through them.

And knowing that asshole, he has multiple layers of mental defences. He is not going to enjoy the process.

Given that about the only people with comparable power are probably Overman and maybe Uncle Sam, yeah...

Ugh, this is going to take forever, if he's got boobytraps around. Let's hope he doesn't.

...You are wearing your shielding, right, Kara? Because it certainly doesn't soudn like you're experiencing any pain from the Green stuff...

...Shit. Really hope she's wearing shielding. Or it's interdimensional and thus won't affect her...

Better have that Gold Kryptonite at the ready, OL. Just in case.

I really hope OL remembers what Black Kryptonite does to people, so he can take suitable precautions. Like, full containment on every piece of Kryptonite in the vault. Even if it doesn't affect this Kara, there's several other Kryptonians at risk upstairs... And the last thing anyone needs is an unrestrained Evil Kryptonian on the loose.

Mr Zoat, some corrections:

Spoiler: Corrections!

The ditz opened it to 'free the mummy'."

Double Space

Maybe delete 'with'?

These injuries are probably the least bad reasonably probable outcome that could occur."

Noriel shrugs as New Kara takes off her cloak to-.

Feels a bit off, but not sure how to fix...

---

Which may suggest that hurting Truggs was the Paragon option, as those don't get called out for OL...

 

Jesus Christ. What did he just say about opening containers that you can't see inside of?

 

He is. There was black kryptonite around the rock his Karas pod was in when he went to rescue her. He was very careful with it.

 

Less pissed and more done with his shit.

His soul is made of greed.

Hey, Paul seems to be teaching her here so it's understandable that she'd get some weird ideas.

He sorta is doing that.

And her lesbian Danner enhanced aunt, as well as that Valkirye, and the Martian and probably Nazi Aquaman.

When he and Kon went to Krypton he saw a bit of it and he was worried about it.

 

what was he about to say dammit!?
