Because if you did then you'd have to give the bastard credit!
Comic book superscience made by someone with superhuman intelligence. I dunno if it's ever been explained, but I'm guessing that the Collective Unconscious is probably involved, given that's the cosmic force that powers superhuman intellects.
About as expected. Their relationship isn't working because Paul doesn't regard it as important and thus will prioritise other things.
I think it's more that he spent time to get to know Jade before expressing his interest in her. As such, he regards her as important and makes sure to spend time with her when they're both free, which admittedly not as often as it used to be. However, just because they both have busy lives doesn't mean they can't try to make their relationship work. If it does, great; if it doesn't, that's fine too. I think the two of them are mature enough to end a relationship if they both find they aren't satisfied by it. Besides, we already saw a relationship crash and burn when the Renegade screwed up his relationship with his version of Jade, so I'd rather we don't see that happen again with Paul.
'Any technology' would require it to be magic. If it's just automatically hacking everything, that's simpler but it wouldn't do anything to power rings.
Are we about to get a timeskip?
The Reach can build nonmagical weapons that can kill gods. It's possible that he's built a device that works on some conceptual level, manipulates the Cosmic Superstructure to censor itself from observation, or uses some sort of passive technopathy field to censor the readings of amy device that detects him.
You can see Mr. Terrific by looking at him. And he was disinterested in magic prior to becoming a superhero. So either something took a liking to him without him noticing, or it's something less significant.
Eyeballs aren't "technology". A robot wouldn't be able to see him, for instance. I don't think someone wearing night-vision goggles could, either.
I thought our Light was pilfering them of their lonely goodies? To attack them would require heroic desires?
That did happen to him. However, Lex now has him working on his fleet. It was mentioned when Lex revealed the previous Starman's spaceship to the masses. Truggs and the Renegade also brought up Lex's paranoia for being the reason for why making an A.I. in his likeness for a fleet is a bad idea.
Especially in comparison to all the ones that have historically done a lot more, but done it wrong (meaning, 'in a way that the observer did not approve of at the time, or has decided in hindsight was a mistake').
And so their holiday begins. I'm sure Dox is happy to see OL actually gone for a bit. As long as he doesn't get any more bizarre reports coming across his desktop. I'm sure he has a whole virtual cabinet reserved solely for 'Illustres-related insanity'.
Company is what makes a house more than a place to hang your hat.
Good to hear the bad guys are getting figuratively cock-blocked.
I get the feeling it ends up that the only people you can count on are your fellow Darkstars...
And man, is that a long time when you stop to think about it...
Ah, so she was overworking herself a bit. Probably good timing for her to get out of the paranoid mindset for a while.
Wow, so he actually acknowledges it. Amazing how far he's come...
Heh. This might honestly be refreshing for him, then.
Boy, he is really committing to taking time off... I give it a couple of days before he's itching to check in on things.
A fact her girlfriend is no doubt appreciative of.
Oh, my...[/takei] Well, I suppose she's sone some of that in her time.
...Ah. Right. Lemme just pick my brain up out of the gutter.
I'm sure you wouldn't Jade is a hell of a looker, and in great shape. It's be like taking a Lambourghini for a drive.
Interesting that Batman would allow him to operate in Gotham. Guess he managed to show his stuff.
...And how many of them are just civic-minded folks with some silly, minor super-powers, like changing the colour of any paint they're touching (Good bye graffiti!) or sniffing out exotic chemical odours (Great for tracking drugs.)
OL, no. This is Batman's business.
Yes, listen to your lady. Do not offend her, because she has knives.
Or Blue Lantern, since he lives here.
Would be kind of awkward.
...Remind me, did SHADE's little 'replace the president' plan get stopped here or in the Renegade timeline?
Only because you convinced him that trying to ban it would be political suicide.
Admittedly, that's another kind of political suicide... Never mind the legal trouble.
Very sensible...
Even Batman might stop and say, "You seem a little paranoid..." Still, I suppose it's a hell of a lot easier with a Power Ring.
...Suspiciously honest, perhaps? Still, if he can't get the votes...
So, he can win simply by being less bland. That says something about politics in the DC Universe...
See, now you're getting it, OL.
...Anything would be better than, say, Lex Luthor, after all.
That happened in the Renegade timeline. SHADE may end up being a problem in the Paragon timeline later down the line.
Ah. Right. Lemme just pick my brain up out of the gutter.
There were several points in the story that it was mentioned that an American politician was disgraced due to sleeping with cheerleaders. I think they were referring to the VP.
