It was just wide scale snow blindness. It's really not that hard to pull off. The scale is relatively small for what happened and I've shown it with math. A single flash of bright light is enough to blind anyone looking at it.Right, but Crazy Quilt's main strategy is hypnosis. And misdirection for illusions. I could imagine Doctor Light, the malicious ass, blinding people without a care to prove his superiority. Crazy Quilt intentionally terrifying people and injuring cops and heroes who try to stop him? Sure. Some direct civilian injuries and some caused indirectly by stampedes? Sure. Property damage? Yeah. But raw cornea damage from his "performance of a lifetime," with batteries full power, doing that much damage in so little time? Your reasoning just doesn't satisfy my skepticism. I don't have a better complaint than that…
Icicle Junior's disco ball enhancing the strength of Crazy Quilt's blasts? Sure, I could see that being a factor. But gangsters were rampaging the heart of the city and cars were apparently crashing.
It is just… the scale is no laughing matter, if 20k are the actual numbers. DC comics and shows rarely put firm numbers on civilians harmed by a villain plot. There are cases in Young Justice specifically where millions of civilians were likely hurt, absolutely, but it is hard to imagine someone ever making up for harming that many people.
Except I didn't give exact numbers in the story. I gave the answer in an offhand comment about how much damage was done.
Icicle Jr is running one of the Ice Fortresses, how many people do you think died from that? Several states got covered by a sudden blizzard. Hundreds, maybe thousands of homeless people died.
People want Harley Quinn redeemed and she's taken part in how many thousands of deaths (by being involved in the Jokers plans?). The fact that she's in the running the become the 4th pillar of the DC universe, is all the proof I need that people will forgive any super villain.
I've kept it so all the big damage is not planned, so at least the SI doesn't have evil intent. He's a dick who's going to be faced with consequences.
