It varies. Attempts to compel him to believe that he wants something he doesn't want will flat out fail, rewriting his memory is very difficult and telepathic illusions aren't affected.
I don't think he has one of those.
Yes, but I'm not sure how it applies. The Green Lantern Marine Corps failed to contain Superman due to him being Golden Age Superman, and some of them not being able to maintain the intensity of concentration the exotic construct they were trying to use required. None of them really doubted the rightness of their cause.
I heard about that, decided it was stupid and then stopped thinking about it. I might run Nekron as a Lovecraftian, but I'm not interested in adding even more colours.
Not exactly. He was faithful to her even though she was clinically insane and the marriage was nullified. After she died he didn't really reflect on the subject of his newly rediscovered singleness.
Alan mostly realises that what he was doing probably wasn't sensible or healthy, but his resolve never faltered. Alan's borderline suicidal behaviour was more about how he wanted to die that what he was planning on doing after he died.
I've seen DC comics do Hell in both ways. In Another Nail, the Joker went to Hell upon his death. But in The Spectre, the Spectre refused to kill a murderer because the man was insane and so couldn't be held responsible for his actions. So it's quite possible that if the Joker died the Joker personality would be expunged and Jack Napier, failed comedian but basically decent guy, would go to Heaven. With Dissociative Identity Disorder... No idea. It might depend on whether Thorn Canton counted as a separate individual or just as a new set of behaviours. And it's quite possible that after spending most of her life on Themyscira that she went to Erebus.
It wasn't just that. Superman had already been having doubts, and said as much when he noted to Wonder Woman that ships didn't bother having life rafts any more.
It's more of a Yoko factor, really.
Is this a reference to something specific (the spoiler?)
He can compare desires before and after? Unless he has no desire to do so? A desire not to do so? Remember, perfect memory allows him to remember all his past desires? Supported by his ring - while his head can be fucked with, the ring giving him perfect memory backup is harder to do so to, being an unhackable supercomputer.
What does that line mean?
Don't miss the link here, folks, it'll help make sense of things.
Good to see he has at least some awareness of his previous encounter, even if he doesn't remember properly.
And more than a little concerning. I suspect anyone not marinated in Orange Light like she is would not have come through in one piece...
And she is really marinated in Orange Light, if she's talking like that...
Hinon: "Watch the sass, boy."
Hinon: "What did I just say about sass?"
Of course. And I expect he's tagged with the highest possible danger level? No, no, of course he is! Ah, British politeness at its finest. Hopefully Murphy isn't listening right now.
Likely a reference to the White entity, currently curled up in a demiplane inside Earth.
Damnit! I suppose I had too much hope and not enough desire.
Welp, I guess we now know someone better able to control their desires then Paul.
Dawww, isn't that cute.
No helmet of fate, so at most a lord of chaos.
...
...
Ironically England knows what the most dangerous of those creatures is!! And they don't even know about the whole Lord of Balance!! (or whatever he calls himself)
Eh... she seems at most about as good at it as Paul is, but not better. She did have the whole clothes fraying going on at the end and found it uncomfortable.
Because after Alex Burgess died, it went to the public?
Up until 1988 or so, when Dream escaped. And that was over twenty years ago (in universe, it's 2011). Yes, the 90's were that long ago.
As noted in the link, he died in 1947. His son Alex inherited the hall.
Presumably he is in Hell. And as the SI notes, Desires can linger in places where they were strongly felt.
Next chapter, I bet. Helped by the guidebook.
Check the mention of his name in the story post. He's also known as Roderick Burgess, the man who captured Dream for almost a century.
That way lies unresolvable shouting matches about religion, so I think we shouldn't go there.
Speculation: Sure they do, you just usually don't know that they were (or still are, perhaps) meeting places for secret societies, because after all, they're secret.
