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

What on Earth was Truggs using her for?

 

I'm afraid that this isn't correct. The shielding protects against radiation from a distance. If she's touching it then it's already inside the shield. Also, as far as I remember she doesn't have one.

Initially, I wanted him to not recognise the black kryptonite and only question it when she started talking like a cartoon supervillain. But then I remembered that the SI found black kryptonite in her asteroid.

Thank you, corrected.

 

No no no! Put the topic off until later when you're not in a hazardous situation, sure, but don't ignore it!

Ah well.

The potential catastrophe of the black kryptonite affecting the others (and/or having already gotten NativeKara) aside, I've had the feeling for a while now that 'New Kara' is going to be a problem later this arc. Her behavior... and the results of her actions... strike me as being similar to the original short story version of the Heterodyne Boys by Phil Foglio. In their own world they were the 'Good Guys' and fought 'Evildoers,' and their opponents only suffered a sort of equivalent exchange of punishment for their actions. When they get transported to a different universe (which has a more conventional, non-karmic cause-and-effect of bodily damage and death), they end up with the assumption that since they would actually kill rather than just 'defeat' just about anyone in that new world, then the whole world must be made of the most evil of people.

New Kara's behavior strikes me like that with her whole Silver Age aesthetic and personality. Or perhaps as having the stereotypical "Lawful Good" mindset. She is Good and she fights Evil. And Evil gets the punishment it deserves... or alternately, deserves the punishment it gets, whatever it ends up becoming...

 

Does Paul see any changes to her with his empathic perception?

 

Well, I got distracted and wasn't nearly as quick as I could have been so this isn't exactly news anymore but...

...here's a citation, at least.

 

Which Kara we talking about New or Old?

Seriously. I thought both were above? How do we differentiate them if you don't at least say New with Earth 1 Kara?

Oh good fucking sweet lord.

 

How funny would it be if all the Supergirls save for New Kara are safe because they are wearing radiation shields and just New Kara gets exposed, but because she is so naive and pure the black kryptonite creates a tiny miniature chibi kara who's mostly just an irritating prankster.

 

bubbles -> bubbled

 

Which Kara is this?

Why is his speech black here? He evidently isn't ready to kill Nylor.

 

Thank you, corrected.

New Kara is upstairs. Old Kara is downstairs. If he's upstairs then he's talking to the one upstairs. If he's downstairs then he's talking to the one downstairs.

Black isn't simply physical death. It can also be despair. It this case, the SI stopped thinking about Nylor as someone close to reforming.

 

In that case, I hope that while Kara is affected by the black kryptonite that she'd do things she wants to but wouldn't normally do, like if she was more assertive or aggressive. Maybe have her make out with Paul since he hasn't frenched a kryptonian yet.

 

Damn it Kara, you can fly or at least hover. Stop touching things!

 

So far he's kissed a Tamaranean man, been inside a giant plant planet, fondled a giant spider and was engaged in an intimate telepathic act with M'gann.

 

There's also his relationship with Jade. Is there anything else that we're forgetting?

 

…passable. Temporary crippling is a valid solution to the problem, but the lack of a Brand shows an unwillingness to commit.

Or possibly those epic scry wards screw with IFF.

Odd. He knew what black kryptonite was back when he and Kon rescued the local Kara from her space-pod. And reacted to it with appropriate caution.

 

Or maybe he thinks there's a chance that Truggs has a contingency plan for that and decided to go with the crippling as he can at least see that it works.

Or he's making sure to not tip off Kara to the fact that he knows what black kryptonite does and is waiting for the right moment.

 

I was talking about his encounters with alien beings.

Though I guess Euanthe can count, since she offered to sleep with Paul.

 

Check the specific location where OL feels pain. Eyes, hands, and feet... the same locations where he just brutally maimed Nylor. That's the Source "putting him on notice" with conscious and specific awareness of what OL has been doing in the past minute, not a mistake in perception. IT KNOWS.

 

I am surprised Oh El never watched Smallville and he takes what someone says while holding an unknown crystal at face value.

Enlightenment makes you dumb it seems.

 

Small semi related question to the current chapter : did Paul ever watch Smallville ? I mean I am ok with not being sure if her remembers it, or what he remembers, but I am curious if he watched it at all.

Edit : ninjas

 

He did remember that black kryptonite was dangerous when he and Kon went to Krypton and while Zoat said he originally wanted to have him think that she's fine until she started acting like a supervillain, he remembered that Paul encountered it previously so Paul may just be playing along.

 

Better yet, a normal sized minifig with super strength and laser vision.

 

Who's to say it hasn't and evil!Supergirl didn't already do something about good!Supergirl off-screen?

 

Why?

The dude didn't consume every bit of DC media in existence prior to getting Isekaied. And Black Kryptonite is extraordinarily rare setting wise.

 

So that's how he ended up wanting to adopt her. I couldn't imagine how they'd get there from the introduction they got.

 

Two different versions of Rogue.

Ew.

 

And that Nylor is why you have an emergency Teleporter on standby with both verbal and bio signs monitor triggers.
A remote destruct for your base is also advised so as to further inconvenience the people who crippled you and help cover your escape.

Seriously man Villain 101!

Well this could end badly.

But Kara does look good in black

 

All Kryptonite is dangerous, regardless of color.

 

Hey Zoat, since Paul mentioned golden fire and the Source, does that mean that Noriel has access to theurgy now?

Since I thought she could only perform mortal magic.

Though Garth and Tula managed to summon some theurgy to fight a demon, so I guess she'd be better at it.

 

X-Kryptonite isn't dangerous to kryptonians or humans exposed to it. It's dangerous to the world at large I guess, but you don't really have to worry if a friend of yours is holding it regardless of species. White kryptonite is also not too bad.
