Honestly, you're making it sound slightly like a TARDIS... At least with the 'operated by less than the optimum number of people. I bet there's some limited similarity in its' ability to travel, too.
Along with all the weird shit in it.
Very.. stylish. Not lessening the comparison to a TARDIS any, either...
Nope.
Oh god, now he's acting like the Doctor. Stop him, please.
Actually I think he's acting more like the Master, one of the more jovial version at least.
They have a lot of similarities.
Both are sadistic megalomaniacs that want to cause pain and suffering to others.
Eh, I suspect he's overestimating his persuasiveness. Even now, the Warlock-breed hate him as much as the Columbians do. You're not likely to undo centuries of that much hate in a generation or two...
Maybe, but he can probably convince a few to follow him.
If they have been rejected by their society then they may feel more resentful to them than they do to Melmoth, who they only know through history and stories rather than actually meeting him like the rest of their society, so they may not have any personal resentfulness towards him.
On that, we can all agree. Though the sooner he's safely somewhere he can't mess with anyone again, the better. What do you think? Oan Sciencell or a Maltusian lockup of some kind?
If Paul takes him then it's possible it will be the Controllers version of a cell.
Still they could just hand him over to the Columbians and let them kill him.
He has harmed their society and he has committed multiple genocides and other horrible crimes.
Hell given what he did to Aurakos and Aurakles they could also hand him over to the New Gods for trial.
Presumably, OL is monitoring his actions. I doubt Melmoth could resist the compulsion to be helpful, but he could easily 'accidentally' be over-enthusiastic with some weapons fire...
Or his version of 'helpfulness' may be very different.
In Life Ore Death Hal Jordan talks to the Team about some of the other lights and rings and points out how the Indigo Light can be used for evil.
Say the Joker got an Indigo ring, that would make him compassionate, but it would not necessarily change his stance that he's the only sane person around and to make everyone else sane he needs to hurt them. It may pain him to hurt them, but in the end he would see it as a necessary step to help them, like a parent disciplining their child, they may not want to do it, but they still have to for the good of the child.
Yeah, can't trust he doesn't have some hidden countermeasures to undo the Orange Light tweaking. A backup memory that kicks in if he doesn't perform a certain action every so often, for example...
Good point.
He may not have resistance against orange light, but he probably has some measures in place for mind control magic or tech.
So it's a liquid space-time wedgie. Is it wibbly-wobbly, too? I suppose it must be, or it would run out at some point otherwise.
The comparison to the TARDIS and all the weird shit in it is getting more and more pronounced.
