British pants, not American pants.So he's now wearing a costume that makes it looks like he has pants on, instead of it being more akin to a one piece suit?

'Pants' is something of a difference between British and American English. To an American, Pants are the long things you have as outerwear. To a Brit, those are Trousers. To the British, Pants are underwear, whether jockey shorts or boxer shorts, thong or jockstrap. What Americans might call Trunks.Can you explain what this means, I don't exactly get the difference between British and American pants?

Fun fact: the American superheroes' 'underwear on the outside' is a callback to the circus strongmen of the early twentieth century, who wore flesh-coloured tights (for the cold and for modesty) with a leotard or trunks over them to protect their modesty if said tights split during a feat of strength. Professional Wrestlers today still dress that way, thought they usually colour-coordinate.
Having a powerful geokinectic around would be a great. He will most likely be on Team for a little bit to get his head on straight and get to know his abilities.
She is actually already around. The Renegade hired her to help dig out the Kryptonian battleship that Lex found. She disappeared afterwards, and I'm okay with that. If she ever appeared, Paul would take one look and know what to do, whether it be help her or expose her.Yesss...having a powerful geokinetic on a team of teen heroes...so very, very very great...isn't that right, Tara Markov?
I'd assume the Nazi Earth has some kind of magic tradition. Their version of Wonder Woman is literally one of the Valkyries of myth, sent by Odin himself to aid them. And they conquered their Earth's Atlantis.
So I'm sure there's some Nazi wizards lurking about, using Atlantian or Asgardian magics.
Pretty sure Mr Zoat said something about Atlanteans not liking surface dwellers on that Earth. You might be thinking of Mars, and that was less conquered and more of claimed as all but one Martian was dead.
Underwaterman states that the only reason that the Atlanteans weren't exterminated was Hitler's belief that Aryans came from there.I don't think they conquered Atlantis in this story, though I could be wrong.
Designations and names are wrong way around"Recognized, two one, Doctor Fate, B zero six, Orange Lantern, A six two, Koriand'r."

Is Black Manta a freedom fighter in that reality? With Kaldur naturally learning the family trade?
Thank you, corrected.
I doubt that he got born.Is Black Manta a freedom fighter in that reality? With Kaldur naturally learning the family trade?
Fair enough. I bet Wotan is having a blast thou. There's even odds to him being part of Nazi League (or whatever JL analogue is called). There was a version of him around.
I... Have no idea. I haven't read Doom Patrol and am only vaguely aware of the characters.Just watched the newest episode of Doom Patrol.
So Zoat is the Kipling in your story in love with Baphomet?
Because if he is then maybe the renegade can help him start a relationship with her, considering he's already started one with Luna.
Not really. They don't want crazy supervillains around any more than non-Nazis do.Fair enough. I bet Wotan is having a blast thou. There's even odds to him being part of Nazi League (or whatever JL analogue is called). There was a version of him around.

I wonder if Wally's been looking into the alchemical tradition of eastern esotericism, I imagine he's been finding the practices of Neidan, ("Internal Alchemy"), and Cultivation very informative and useful!but there are some fairly significant differences between Hindu and Taoist magic practices

I think he befriended that girl from the Indian superhero family that prays to a god for her superspeed.
How does it not work like that?
Read the fucking wiki, where it says that the ring allows matter transmutation, and also remember that the rings have been shown as being able to do things that make matter transmutation seem trivial by comparison, like time travel.
If you claim that the one who wrote that bit in the wiki was mistaken then provide proof of someone in he comics saying that power rings are incapable of matter alteration.
Sorry, but you don't get to make that decision, logic and reasoning does.The green lantern that healed Ivo.
And no your excuse that Ice's supposed magic powers altered the rings function don't hold up.
So basically you're admitting that your only source for your claims is the unsourced wikia articles.How does it not work like that?

No, they made it so the uniforms were stored in subspace in the early comics and then turned them into constructs in the later one's.And later comics basically made it so the ring creates a uniform for the ring bearer to wear, and doesn't disappear after they take off the ring.
And to end this little conversation, remember that this isn't the New Earth universe, even if Zoat adds elements of it into his story, this is Earth 16, where we weren't exactly shown all that much of what power rings can do, so Zoat can just decide to make the ones in Earth 16 be able to do the things you say they aren't capable of doing.
You get a like for putting in the effort.Doesn't apply to Orange Lanterns.
Like just look at this for example
This Orange Lantern explicitly had his ring created by Larfleeze but still got a uniform which remains even after Larfleeze calls his Ring back. In the same issue we see the same thing happening to four other former Oramge Lanterns.
So the lanterns obviously created them with their own rings, or are you claiming that Larfleeze hired a tailor to make uniforms for each of his assimilated Lanterns?
Sorry, but you don't get to make that decision, logic and reasoning does.
And well, when there is no other example of a thing, even when them doing so would be the difference between life and death, logic dictates that there's something about the one example that was the exception.
And on a note, Ice had no medical background, and she didn't even "will" a thing to happen, she very specifically wished for it.
So basically you're admitting that your only source for your claims is the unsourced wikia articles.
Got it.
Here's the thing though, unsourced wikia articles are meaningless, I could go log in to my Wikia account and edit them to say whatever I wanted, but that wouldn't make it true.
As to Zoat adding things to make his SI more powerful and other characters look bad for not using those obvious functions, we have already been over that, it's bad writing, and because of which deserves to be called out.
Mind you, it's not just bad writing because you should never add stuff and then have your SI character lecture canon characters about not using the writer added things. It's also bad writing because each new power you add locks out large swaths of potential challenges for your character.
And we are seeing the results of that now, with Paul basically just aimlessly coasting through the various storyline Zoat put's forward.
Zoat can make the power rings in this story do whatever he wants and may use whatever source he wants, including the DC wiki, because we weren't exactly shown all that much of what power rings can do in YJ, so anything he writes about Earth 16 rings does not contradict any source you claim it goes against, since at this point there are practically a dozen different sources that can say things that contradict one another.
He can just add abilities from different sources, or even make up some, and they wouldn't go against the canon of YJ power rings, since there practically isn't any canon on YJ power rings.
