Ah, some time with our dear Baul. When last we saw him, he'd just brokered a peace deal between the Injustice Society's leadership and the new president, Alexander Luthor, yes? Or rather, our OL did, wearing his face while Baul was on his honeymoon in spaaaaace... Still, I trust that people having been playing nice.
Yes, you have a lot to thank OL for next time you see him...
Indeed. I bet you're even getting a trickle of local charge these days. Assuming you didn't snag a Lantern out there.
Nice to see Capo Scott - 'Power Ring Yellow' these days - keeping himself busy. Remind me, who is the Director again, and which hero is he a counterpart of?
Ah, our poor kid Flash counterpart. Still using that knock-off super-speed formula, I expect...
I like that he maintains the fiction that he isn't in charge, so as to avoid being the target of reprisals... Very clever...
Later, Kid.
Later! Man, Baul must have the patience of a saint to not toss him out a window or something...
At least the addict is smart enough to clam up when he should...
Probably a bit young for a full beard, and his hair would need to grow a bit to get any kind of disguise going there. At least he learnt to cut out the sigil spam.
So he sounds less like a Brooklyn thug and more of a proper gangster? I suppose that makes Capo Scott consider him a little more fondly...
Now, I wonder what he was doing that could take a minute or two to finish up?
Or should I say 'who'?Heh. I get the feeling of an old speakeasy bar from the twenties here, even if it's a more modern setup. It just feels... Right.
Definitely got some power to burn these days.
But people thinking he's getting drunk probably helps put them at ease around him, I bet. One more bit of sneakiness.
A handy bit of ring-work, or just something he found out there in the world? I'm sure there's all manner of non-alcoholic variants of popular drinks...
Good to see they're still friends here, even after everything that's happened. And the remarkable age difference.
The first time being in the presence of Ultraman, just after Ultraboy's existence was revealed. Yes, I can imagine those were happier times for him. Especially since Ultraman was a lot more accepting than his heroic counterpart was.
Maintaining the appearance of gentility and class in the Society. Despite many of them being thugs, lunatics and worse.
...That could be taken so many ways.
Not many of them good... Understandable, though, since the Society's juniors are at a significant power disadvantage with the New Leadership...I suspect a lot of Ultraboy's plans were 'go find someone to beat on till they did what he told them to'...
I would suspect so. Given how good a fight they were...
So, they're playing bait and stalking horses for would-be heroes. Bit of a drop in status.
Still, I suppose it makes sense. I'm sure Ultraboy and his teammates have lots of pent-up feelings to work out through percussive therapy...
And no doubt this US has plenty of those. I'm sure he'll be spoiled for choice.
Baul always has ideas. But before, he was stuck under the thumb of the Society...
Heh. Turning the Young Offenders into a truly global force, perhaps.
Well, no-one said becoming the next Ultraman would be easy.
Effectively turning it into their own little fiefdom of crime...
Indeed... Especially in this world, which lives by the creed Cui Bono - 'Who Profits?'
Who are likely all dead or imprisoned, given Slade's enthusiastic approach to cleaning up the country...
What would be the worst hellhole in this world? The shittiest part that no-one would care if you conquered? Don't tell me, even here, I'm sure it would be Santa Prisca.
Yeah, it's an entire multi-million dollar industry. It's really easy to find non-alcoholic versions of various drinks if you actually go looking for them.

Thank you, corrected.
Niles Caulder.
No, that's the most stable and socially unified democracy in South America.
'Power Ring' in this context is Alan 'Capo' Scott.
Given that it's a reverse universe, Andorra would probablly be a better bet.
….what is Mirror Somalia like?
Wakanda i guess.
Actually, if you look down at cinematic Wakanda, you can see their slums. And unlike normal slums, those aren't inhabited by recent immigrants from other nations or the countryside. Because Wakanda doesn't have immigration and everyone outside the city is part of the security services. Those are long term city-dwellers, their plight ignored by the absolute dictator who controls all of their nation's resources.
Not to worry. Noted acrobat Marquis Metronome is on the case and will soon depose the child-tyrant.
Urgh. The world building in the MCU is so garbage. They say both in and out of the movie that they are the most advanced civilization. But for some reason they decided to have dirt roads and straw roofs.
By this point, I suspect he's got a raging case of Stockholm's-
