Space limits. By the time you include everything you need in your armour, it isn't armour so much as a spaceship. And now you need smaller armour in case of boarding parties.Hasn't the MC been cut off from his subspace more than once? Why hasn't he incorporated more of his arsenal into his armor and on his person?
Highly advanced non-magical materials. It's designed to spend its time in subspace until he needs it.Mr Zoat What is the SI's armour made of? I would normally assume that he would have had it made from the best possible materials, maybe the same materials that Diana uses. But considering how frequently he has it damaged in fights I assume he uses more mundane materials. If so, how come?
I hope OL takes this as a teachable moment, and from now on makes sure some version of the healing ray (reversible switch or not, inbuilt into his armor or not) becomes part of his 'real space' load out.
Both OL and Renegade are forks of the same person.Space limits. By the time you include everything you need in your armour, it isn't armour so much as a spaceship. And now you need smaller armour in case of boarding parties.
Of course. But they're either easier to disrupt, require even more bulky equipment or have other risks associated with them.Is there any space compression technology?
Or portals?
Or non-ring subspace?
The ideal would be to see if Green Arrow can come up with a purple healing ray arrow, or hand over one to one of his allies whenever he's on a mission. Why make one person the pack mule for all the useful gear when you have other party members?
Actually, now I'm wondering about purple healing ray access for other heroes in general. I know Beauticia was working on making it standard in hospitals, but given the JL sometimes gets called in for natural disasters and certainly gets called into situations with a lot of injured people, I can imagine a couple of them might want to pack a healing ray so some civilians can make it to the hospital
Or finally capture an Reach scarab for his own use or for the Controllers and other researchers to study and build their own version, plus while Grayven has a sparky Sinestro AI imagine Paul dealing with his own version of Khaji Da.
Flash may be the best for this since he can evacuate people and then heal them.
Strictly speaking if he did a broad scan of Earth he might realize that Ted's got one in cold storage, assuming no anti-scry wards are in place. Other than that though getting access to a Scarab is unlikely given they were all but purpose-built to fight Lanterns and have every countermeasure under the sun The Reach could pack into them to prevent capture.
In the context of WTR everyone thinks that Scarab is magic instead of sci-fi nanotech. I do agree Paul isn't really looking all that hard for it though, which is fair enough I suppose. It tends to go reasonably well in most continuities, so as long Blue Beatle the third isn't running around yet he's probably got the time to head-off any issues that could crop up.
While he did look for Jaime he accidentally got his name wrong, so he never actually found him.
Eh, in YJ canon Ted knew it was alien tech and that's given as the reason he never used the scarab himself. And I misremembered him getting the name wrong, did he do a search for Jamie Reyes or something?
Zoat is apparently went in a different direction, since WTR Ted would have probably happily showed Paul well before now.
Whether you consider this being that storyline butterflied away by Paul's presence on the watsonian level or Zoat making a decision on the Doylist level, well that's up to you.
And yes, apparently Zoat wasn't much of a BB fan because Paul did look for Jamie Reyes.
Every system added to the armour requires either the armour to be made bigger or something else to be taken out. The armour is there to tank a very limited number of attacks that bypass rings but not force fields or armour, and protect him while he retreats. It isn't supposed to be a general purpose combat rig, and isn't. The SI can't use Apokoliptian technology due to a) not having access to it and b) not being a New God.
So ask Ray Palmer for some help in (temporarily?) miniaturizing stuff: Earth Bullshit(tm) To The Rescue Again!
While I do agree, the entire point of having SI superhero characters is their foreknowledge and ability to make use of it. This extends to the technology available to them. There is no reason he can't try do do this.I imagine the League would corner Atom and go. "Please. Don't make Paul even harder to handle."
Also I do like Paul having limitations.
Porque no los dos?Oh man, Obsidian. What would be worse, Todd being strapped to a machine or Todd's schizophrenia being taken advantage of?
Well, yes, but this is a bit silly. Paul is a Lantern SI in a low-powered setting, for goodness sake. He started this story at about 98% power and has no reason to waste resources chasing other less productive power options just so he can become a munchkin's wet dream instead of applying his already cosmic-level powers to better the universe.While I do agree, the entire point of having SI superhero characters is their foreknowledge and ability to make use of it.
