That was easily the gayest this fic has ever gotten.
Not tempted to spent a little time "wrestling" yourself, Paul?
Of course not… My vote is for Pan. A war god who is a shepherd of men, primarily interest in defense? Perhaps utilizing on automated (drone) defenses against interlopers? Yes please.
But LePaul, back when he actually worked to improve himself, did it by cheating.
...I suppose they're not your type, but for some, this might well be a candy-shop.
...Well, there goes the idea of seduction.
Don't know why but that particular Macho Man song won't play for me.

Because steroids are harmful and mess up your body something fierce, in contrast to his magic? And taking steroids is completely antithetical to the goal of bettering yourself, as they only boost your performance temporarily at the risk of long term issues.
Thank you, corrected.
While Paul is capable of the necessary bloodshed, he doesn't seem to prefer it.
Honestly, Goku. Goku was always more motivated to get stronger and fight stronger opponents to prove (and improve) himself, rather than, say, Vegeta's eventual focus on getting stronger *to prove he was stronger than Kakarot.* Internal focus rather than external focus. For a villainous take, maybe younger Toguro, from Yu Yu Hakusho? Actually I feel like this isn't too uncommon a mindset in manga and anime...
Kenpachi Zaraki and Might Guy could be good fits. Though Kenpachi might piss him off with the intentional self sabotage in hopes of a challenge, Guy is hyper focused on continuous self improvement.
I would guess because the magic has to be the users OWN magic. They are both improving their physical capabilities, and their magical capabilities in a synergistic method.
With Blackjack and Hookers!
Sekhmet might be a good fit too if the egyptian gods are around
The orange light isn't some metaphysical toxin. It's a fundamental part of life. It wasn't poison, just... maybe a better analogy is dirt? Hundreds of people passing through would ALSO pollute the space with orange light (and other lights, too). I have no doubt that the shrine needs purified now, but it's clearly not the catastrophic emergency you're making it out to be. There's a reason that purification rituals exist.
Video doesn't work in the US.
The problem isn't that steroids are cheating. The problem is that steroids are a sign that you don't understand strength. The magic flows from a deep, spiritual connection to strength, allowing you to surpass what would normally be your human limits as you continue to push yourself. If you're using steroids to build muscle, then you just want the results and you don't want to put in the work to get there.
It's a fundamental part of life when it's balanced by other emotions.
LAND OF THE FREE, BITCHES!
More like canon adjacent. Justice League action had Aya show up but it's very much not the same Earth as YJ and the GL animated series.
I don't see why marrying in would have to be the way in. The part she objected to was marrying athena after all.
