Oh boy. I can't wait to see how the public will react to learning that Superman wasn't even the first alien to crash on Earth, and that this one was experimented on until the fall of the Soviet Union.
Given the introduction and its circumstances, I rather suspect the Themyscirans did jump to the obvious conclusion. But really, given their limited information, it's understandable. Especially when you stepped out of the Boom Tube...
Well, how hospitable. Surely, o Queen, a fellow this polite couldn't be evil.
He's not Herakles, you know, no need to be so hostile.
And honestly, if the Boxes can't take a nuke or two without being scratched, they're clearly not worthy of the name...
Yes, please, do elucidate. So far it's been a mystery.
I suspect if he knew of a way to destroy it, he would have by now. Sadly, as mentioned above, it's probably quite resilient.
I rather do prefer the LEGO Parademon minifigures from the Superheroes line. Much more appropriate colouring, even if they're still lumbered with the movie aesthetic.
"Please, excuse his attempt at civility. He is a good fellow, really." And it does seem a somewhat convoluted way of going about terraforming. Or should that be terror-forming?
And no doubt the Renegade would happily bake cakes, especially with his kids.
Such aggression. She seems determined to play the resistant captive, doesn't she?
Flashbacks to Herakles, perhaps?Correct-ish, if a little abridged, summary of his history. I'm sure he doesn't feel the need to brag about his magical equine lady-friend or his many partly-demonic children.
Like, say, a certain Spectrum Entity whose mere existence is treated like a super-super-secret detail by the Guardians.
Presuming it exists here, even if the Lanterns do.And given how much mayhem Earth seems to attract, it's probably going to be more trouble than it's worth to hold.
Heh. Nice reference to the bride-abduction myth of Persephone.
To be fair, Renegade, I'm not sure the Themyscirans have an equivalent to tea in their history. And their drinking vessel looks awkward as...
How awesome he is? How good a leader he is? Someone to talk to for narrative reasons?
And no doubt Diana will end up calling Batman and others together to battle the Renegade.
What reason would he have to lie? You're basically at his mercy. He could have simply killed you at any point here. But he wants you as an ally, not an enemy.
...There's the exit. No strings attached, no door to hit you where the Goddesses split you... In back, I mean, not...
Well, that joke rather went to an odd place.Really, they need to call it a different name, it's probably insulting the real Mother Box present every time they use it. How about Granny Box?
Which raises questions of who he's collecting. I'm betting it'll be a parade of various DCEU-compatible villains...
...Interesting. I foresee a lot of rage in that one. Kind of reminds me of the pics of DCEU Doomsday I've seen in terms of looks, despite being from over ten years earlier.
I can only hope a Green Lantern and a certain Martian show up to nudge things along.Such aggression. She seems determined to play the resistant captive, doesn't she?
Correct-ish, if a little abridged, summary of his history. I'm sure he doesn't feel the need to brag about his magical equine lady-friend or his many partly-demonic children.
"If you were as good as me, you'd be this smug too."
There isn't a Justice League at the moment. There are a couple of people with superpowers, but few of them even know each other. Batman and Wonder Woman met for about five minutes.
This. He opens a gateway to a parallel universe and starts again, because he finds the process so satisfying.
None of this makes any sense. How is he "finished" ruling the universe?
Seems like something he'd do. Though if he makes it too obvious that he's involved here he may be just creating a team like Sinister 6 to inspire the heroes to team up.
Well, you know 'the universe'..?
A somewhat familiar situation for him. Great power but finite energy and no method to recharge.
Cocaine and hookers, and sending a nuclear blast to the moon.
More likely it has a passive 'Don't pay attention to this' field in place around it. The soon-to-be-Rangers only spotted it in the first episode because Zordon wanted them to. Who knows, maybe from a distance it just looks like an oddly geometric rock formation that's entirely uninteresting...
Of them, the only noticably dangerous one is Goldar/Grifforzer. The others are mostly blithering idiots who are only dangerous by accident, or non-combatant types like Finster/Pleprechaun. Why do you think she sends out her monsters?
I would have many, but often one question prompts another.
No doubt still fully armoured up, because secret identities. Unmasking would seem foolhardy.
Which also raises the question of why their teleport signatures aren't seen. Unless the colour-coded blobs flying through the air are just for the audience's convenience.
Like, is it precise down to the foot, or in a general 'couple of hundred meters' range? Though generally, panicked bystanders tends to be a useful indicator of point of origin.
I doubt the detection is able to just ping 'monsters' just sitting around, can it? They'd have to actively be using some form of exotic energy to show up... Otherwise, so many things would have shown up sooner.
Interesting that he can read that through the helmet, again assuming he's smart enough to still be wearing it. Or is Zack overacting by tilting his head, scratching his head with one hand and acting generally nervous?
Good cover. Helps that Billy's about the only member whose name starts with the same letter as his colour. As for the whole 'intelligence agency contact' thing, I doubt they'd be willing to work with teenagers, and probably demand Zordon put their hand-picked agents in Ranger suits... Then again, there were teams like Lightspeed Rescue and SPD.
See, questions lead to questions. Friendship values increase!
And is the one in OL's comic considered as badass as the main canon one, if they aren't the same thing...
Still, you feel real, you think like you should... Is there really any difference? Cogito Ergo Sum and so on.
So, is the Young Justice universe an entire Animated canon here, DCAU style, and how would OL look in the Dini style?
...Please tell me this universe had 'Batman' '66 and he's just being a typical dumb teenager...
Honestly, Batman '66 is one of the most gentle versions of what being Batman is like. The Joker's more of a capering clown than a mass murderer, Catwoman is a sexy socialite cat burglar, and most of the villains are generally lighter and softer than their modern counterparts...
The human brain isn't built to cope with 'suddenly giant thing way too close to me'...
...And yet it can adapt so quickly through habituation.
...And I'm suddenly reminded of the SNES Power Rangers game, in which the final boss fight is Megazord versus Cyclopsus on the moon.
...Wait, they took their helmets off? I guess they decided 'oh, he's a good guy, it's fine'.
And that raises all manner of questions. I'm sure OL can think of a few.
That's assuming the potion can manifest more than one person at a time. Would be awkward if they tried it, and this OL popped as another sprang up.
Not the kind of 'how' he meant, Trini.
Effectively making it a magic ring in truth and not just reputation.
Though it may explain the lack of Empathic vision, as without the proper Spectrum, the magic making him exist has no way to replicate it... Or something.And that's assuming he has any of his subspace arsenal, including his Lantern, in this state.
...Or something like that.He looks left and right, but the other Rangers are out of sight.
Then suddenly you've got something the size of a skyscraper screaming at you.
Mastodon Zord (capitalised "Z").
Clearly the first step is to establish whether there's a local Ophidian, and/or whether the subspace pocket contents are intact and/or working, including the Lantern?
Not possible, by the logic of the Turbo movie.
Also Forever Red, and more recently O&A. Though I think generally speaking Zords are made for terrain combat, since underwater fighting only happened a few times (once in MMPR, once in Zeo?), and space combat is similarly rare until at least the halfway point through the series (In Space didn't have much actual space combat).
I want to know who the author/s are and when it was published. Were ISSNs a thing back in the 90s?One way to check would be to look at the next page of the comic, which I hope they brought with them. If OL can perceive it, it's a vision, because there'd be no rational way to see his own future moments.
