Okay, fair enough. However, those numbers are derived from an analysis done on Earth Bet as it is in canon. If LP actually sticks around, his presence would likely mitigate the damage done by the threats Number Man listed.
His brutality here can still fit into that mindset. The strength of a yellow lantern's constructs is influenced by fear, by casually massacring some of the more powerful capes in the city with a lot of flash and spectacle, he ensures that others in the future will be more afraid of him than they otherwise would be.
Fixing those sorts of things would be more of a long-term project. Dealing with the crime problem is a fairly long-term project too, but he only really needs to deal with some of the bigger players, the ones like Lung who local law enforcement struggles to deal with. Take care of enough of them, and the police and PRT can get a grip on the rest. He could then use the publicity from this to increase his profile and leverage that to help him in endeavours like providing drinking water and revitalizing the economy.
No, I meant Hopeless.Ohh, you meant the song.
Another theme for this episode could be Kori getting used to the whole superhero thing on Earth.
If she is going to try and get the hang of a blue ring then she may need to stay around Earth for at least a little while.
Again, that's skill, not competence.His battle record and skill in wielding his ring, plus his wins against powerful opponents proves that he is highly competent.

Thank you, corrected.Corrections
...and hesitantly holds it out to her.
Double space.
It could be an interesting change of pace.
Not sure if correct or you meant 'missions'...
Courrected.
"In the short term it wanted dreams to feed on. Or.. possibly watch or experience.
Casual murder doesn't inspire much fear. Doing it slower and more deliberate, showing off that the capes had no way to fight back,that would actually inspire fear on a level that he could use. He is just killing people without even making sure he has an audience.
Dealing with the endbringers, if he could, is a relatively simple thing. Ziz is just hanging out in orbit. If he actually cared about them and was capable of dealing with them, he could just pot shot her as he entered and be done with the most serious threat that earth bet knows about.
Your claim that he should have immediately picked a fight with the most dangerous beings in the world seems... counterintuitive.why hasn't he started out by at least taking an hour or two to research the world?
I can't reconcile a shake of the head as body language which is congruent with the meaning 'I don't know either'. To me, "shrug my shoulders" would fit much better.
Yeah. Hookwolf is also a particularly nasty case, as he's an unrepentant murderer who apparently joined the Nazi gang to have someone to help him break out of transports to the Birdcage, and he once wounded Vista (who was about eleven or twelve at the time) badly enough to need stitches. Unlike Canary, who had an accident with her power (on its own) attacking her stalker ex, Hookwolf deserves the Birdcage at best. Somehow, he doesn't have a kill order, despite being a multiple-murderer who keeps escaping from Birdcage transports. It's apparently really hard to get a kill order, if you're not a bio-tinker.Many, however, have repeatedly escaped being sentenced to the Birdcage. Sometimes multiple times, like Hookwolf.
True. Kalmin would have considered that a silly idea, and I think Ganthet and Sayd built it in so that the other Guardians would be less offended by the existence of the Blue Lanterns.Blue Lanterns
so glad Alan's ring doesn't have the dumb willpower dependence that the corps in post-crisis and so on has.
I'm quite unclear why you linked to an audio-visuals company, but, I thought it'd be a youtube link to someone being outraged... Reminds me of the comedy sketch about what "Richard The Third" stands for in cockney rhyming slang...
It was supposed to be a manga chibi saying "LEWD". Annoying that it was not.I'm quite unclear why you linked to an audio-visuals company, but, I thought it'd be a youtube link to someone being outraged...

You have a warped view of what "uplift" means. It means to make things better, not more technologically advanced.
He is very young for an Elemental.
Adorable.A beaming Lantern Koriand'r appears, carrying three large teddy bears and a bicycle.
"I like this ring very much!"
I'm afraid that you've got that sideways. A 'clean ending' would be him knowing exactly why the Star Hunters did what they did. In his mind getting that would require a great deal of time and effort for little practical gain.It's kinda sad to see Paul just shrug and say it's better not to know so that he can have a "clean ending" on something that bothers him..... is this what happened to the big heads on Oa....
While 'plan-shifting' tech would be remarkably useful, I suspect you meant 'plane'.
Thank you, corrected.While 'plan-shifting' tech would be remarkably useful, I suspect you meant 'plane'.
How do you know that Thundera isn't on an alternate Earth?I do like this explanation!
A couple of provisos, though. If the one with the tech has a shard (i.e. is a cape) then they are either dead or haven't used the plane-shift themselves. Maybe they used robots (or non-cape minions) to set things up in their bolthole?
One way to read the Worm setting is that capes depend on their shard-link (some certainly do) or the shard gets nasty if the link breaks. The brain damage is generally fatal. A related issue is that powers shut-down beyond about Lunar orbit distance from Earth - can't let the experimental rats out of their cage, you know. Going to other dimensions (inside the Entity fence) is OK (Cauldron have a base on another Earth), probably still an issue if you then go beyond Lunar orbit. This power-loss isn't instant death, maybe, whereas going firmly outside shard range may well be. Worm canon is inconsistently consistent.
The little detail of capes not having powers which are 'portable' (allow them outside shard dimensional link range) is often overlooked by fanfic authors. Did your Taylor Hebert (aka Skitter aka Weaver aka Khepri...) who is now in the DC Universe bring the other-dimensional Earth which has her shard, Queen Administrator, resident on it (probably at least a continent-size of it) along for the ride?
Kori getting hopeful was fun!
A quick look at the wiki shows that there's a "third/first earth", which probably means that Thundera isn't Earth or an alternate. Now I won't pretend that I know a lot about Thundera but if the world looks nothing like Earth, has different continents and the people are genetically different from humans, then it's less "alternate Earth" and more different planet in a different solar system.Thank you, corrected.

That's a possibility that I considered but again as someone who doesn't know anything about the setting according to the wiki theres a world called "Third Earth" which in the past was called "First Earth". So unless I'm wrong this is pretty much confirmation that "Third Earth" is Earth. If this is the case then Thundera cannot be an alternate Earth.It may be the same planet in the same solar system, but no humans evolved on it, the flora and fauna evolved differently, the continents shifted differently etc.
Unless there was dimension-jumping going on? A bit like The Long Earth?If this is the case then Thundera cannot be an alternate Earth.
Possible but I haven't read that book so I can't really say for sure.Unless there was dimension-jumping going on? A bit like The Long Earth?
(But, probably more difficult to travel between them.)
