Should be spent I think?
With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Twelve)

Yes... Well he's got 2 "Trueborn" Sons, Ares and Hephaistos, in his former marriage to Hera, 12 or so with other godesses.
And he's what, 80 and counting with various mortal women.
then again, that's just the ones mythology and DC comics have revealed to us, he could have broken 200 or 2000... easy.

So I can't remember. Mr Viking has orange text, was he assimilated during New Years?
huh, I figured the Romans gave him a different name like they did to so many other Greek deities.
Paul's ring was speaking/translating, that's why the orange text

He's being translated, so the orange text is actually the ring doing a close approximation of what he's saying.

so even though odin is neutral on nazi's this confirms that odin has plenty of other reasons to dislike Captain Nazi. It's good to know that odin does have some standards.
oh now this has implications. Though odin may decide not to make deals openly, after all a weapon bought and tested for all to see is a weapon your enemy knows about.
ok now that is interesting. spells that render you utterly immune to specific types of harm would have all sorts of uses. Even beyond the obvious of making stuff like blast furnaces immune to heat, I imagine being able to build in specific weaknesses into stuff would be almost as useful. for example put a thin shell around a warhead and ward it against everything except its own payload and you have a point defense resistant missile.
also it just goes to show, if you can't solve the problem with enough C4 you're not using enough C4.

No, as the ring didn't translate his laughter. I haven't written the rest of what he said in white because I don't speak Old Norse.
Thank you, corrected.
That happened something like ten thousand years ago, so you're a little late.
Me to.
This Hephaestus isn't actually one of his.
Thank you, corrected.

The thing is, Ragnarok is true prophesy. Barring fate manipulation of the highest order or dimensional hijinks it WILL happen.
The Norse gods don't get as much air time in DC, I really only remember the one time in sandman, but my understanding of odin's portrayal was that while he was inured to the fact that he and almost everything he loves will die, he will jump at anything that could give a convincing shot at survival.

"You get stronger for each person in the world who follows the Nazi ideology?"
"Captain, don't say anything."
"Yes, I do."
"What's the Nazi ideology's position on the reverence of the Aesir, such as myself?"
"Captain, don't say anything."
"We'd prefer the pagans convert to Christianity."
"And how strongly do you prefer they do this?"
"Captain, please don't say-"
"Violently."
"And have you personally...?"
"Captain, for fuck's sake-"
"Oh, my, yes."
"I foresaw as much. VIDAR! TYR! WISHBONE HIM!"

Uhm, WHUT? As far as I know this culture this words are invitation to murder them immidiately while guest rights WOULDN'T apply as such words are breach of said guest rights. Or at least it's invitation to fight to the death. People usually do NOT joke with Unspeakable Words.

You know, Odin is probably one of the highest tier spell casters in the universe. I fully expect him to easily be on the same tier as one of the Lords of chaos / order. He scarified himself TO himself (Oh, and yeah, sacrificing himself to himself? He's probably one of the biggest cheaters ever in mythology) by stabbing himself to the tree Yggdrasil with his spear for nine days to learn the Runes, he's capable of using the Seidr system of magic which is normally exclusive to females, he's one of the sources for Santa Claus so he can likely use Christmas magic and pretty much EVERY long bearded, robe wearing, staff waving wizard in history can trace their origin back to him.
Add to that his ability to see the future, immortal army of elite warriors, own martial ability, position at the top of a pantheon of gods, and the huge number of legendary beings and artifacts in his panoply... I feel like Paul would be impressed by his ability to explore every avenue available to him unlike modern day superheros' habit of defaulting to "Punch Evil."

What words were unspeakable? There was a time delay on the translation.

He's also one of the biggest liars. Oh, he's plenty powerful, just don't assume that there's any truth in the stories he tells about where that power came from.

They did. The Roman equivalent (roughly) of Uranus is named Caelum.

Not funny.
Or if you don't understand - man that was called other man's wife is obligated to kill one who said that or nobody will deal with him ever (if not just kill him as shame of a human). It's worst possible slur to cause a fight and never used as joke, it's simply not possible.
PS. I don't know how it's properly translated in English and don't remember scandinavian original term, but on Russian it's usually translated as "непроизносимые речи" - "unspeakable talk/words" - aka things that are taboo and people will kill you for touching subject. Aka something to not speak, ever. Which given that swearing was art says something about how much they weren't talked about.

Perhaps Mr Zoat is not an anthropologist. Or because these are comic Vikings they have a different culture.

What are we doing again?
Not a spell, a curse. There's a big difference, especially on the cost, and if it can be cast on an ally. Also, there's usually side effects of curses that come about unexpectedly.
So using curses as buffs works for a while, but then something goes wrong.
Surprisingly pleasant chaps for a bunch of undead raiders.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Odin sent this particular Einherjar in hopes that the League would lock him up for a few decades. Backstabbing is part of Odin's portfolio after all.

Thanks for sharing this. It's an insight into a piece of culture that's foreign to me.

Hah! He would hate us up here. We're almost all pacifists, practically no one owns a weapon of any sort, not counting kitchen-knives. Or maybe not, seeing as we're not all that different now. We're still cleaning ourselves regularly, and our women are still important. And we're awesome, still.
Hah. He got C4'd
There's a reason he's the sworn brother of Loki afterall.
