"Those particular people are dead, but… There's no particular reason why you couldn't meet up with their descendants." He nods, oddly cheered by the news. "Mister Schreiber, there's no easy way to say this. But I have reason to believe that you are a clone of Adolf Hitler."

well that's setting a new benchmark for awkward." so how does it rate on a scale from spilling water on your pants to telling a man he's the clone of hitler?"


My grandfather served in France during the war, and helped to liberate the camps. Yet I can't help but feel sorry for this poor man.

why shouldn't you? the poor bugger hasn't done anything wrong, It's not his fault his gene source was a madman.
 
To the point is all well and good, but you don't just tell someone that sort of thing without first finding out if it means bad guys will come knocking. Once he heard that Helmut grew up in a church-run orphanage he should have contacted Father Mattias to see if the wards were put in place by mages working for the church to make sure no evil magic users would find him and use him to bring back Hitler's soul or something.
 
"Oh, no, I'm sorry, Orange Lantern. I realize I am a convincing fake, but I assure you, those films are entirely fictional. And, I must admit, I'm not entirely comfortable with that chapter of my life, nor the notion one of America's heroes has seen those.. films. Please do not mention this to my wife."

What.

"What."





More seriously, I'd say I wasn't sure this was the right way to do it, but I'm not sure there is one. Is there confirmed memory-tech in the setting to alleviate the undoubtedly imminent trauma if he wishes? Or at least a good, unbiased (ha!) therapist?

Decided to take a look at DC Hitler. See some of the stuff they've done with him.

During WW1, it would seem that Hitler, Stalin, and an Asian man I can only assume was Tojo all met Anton Arcane, at the same time, while he was in the early stages of experimenting with necromancy. With Anton Arcane even trying to claim that he manipulated Hitler into starting WW2 just so that he'd have access to more corpses. Which is fucking retarded. If you need to trigger a war on that scale just to get your hands on corpses . . .

He obtained both the Spear of Destiny and the Holy Grail. Using the Spear of Destiny, he almost killed Green Lantern (Alan Scott) and The Flash (Jay Garrick). He was only stopped because The Spectre intervened.

With the assistance of a Japanese sorceror named the Dragon King, a mystic barrier was raised over the territories owned or occupied by Germany or Japan. The Spear was used to create the barrier over Germany. The Grail was used to create the barrier over Japan. These barriers would corrupt any superheroes who tried to intervene in WW2, potentially brainwashing them into fighting for the Axis. Apparently it was extra effective if used against magical superheroes. (Imagine if the barrier worked on mere mortals, too, and not just superheroes.)

Whereabouts of the Holy Grail are currently unkown. As for the Spear of Destiny . . .

Towards the end of the war, as it became clear Germany was going to lose, it was used in two separate attempts to destroy the world.

One attempt had Hitler perform a ritual linking the universe with Ragnarok in a way that would apparently retroactively cause the destruction of the universe or something. This was stopped when Doctor Fate transported the Justice Society to Asgard so that they could help the Norse gods prevent Ragnarok.

Another attempt was when Captain Nazi tried to use it to kill The Spectre, which apparently would have caused the end of the world if he'd been successful.

The last thing Hitler ever did with the Spear was corrupt it in such a way that if anyone else should ever wield it, they'll be infected with his greed and lust for power.

Then some shit happened, it was cast into space, it was recovered so more shit could happen, cast into space again, recovered again so even more shit could happen, and, well . . . I think the last time it was ever used, it was used by The Spectre after being purified of Hitler's taint.

But Zoat has said that The Spectre doesn't exist in Earth 16, so bare minimum you can ignrore anything that involved The Spectre. (In which case, I wonder who saved Green Lantern and The Flash?)

And if none of the stuff involving The Spectre happened . . . The Spear was recovered by the Allies and is currently in storage somewhere in the United States.

As a final note . . . DC Hitler was killed by an American operative known as the Unknown Soldier. He snuck into Hitler's bunker during the Battle of Berlin, killed Hitler, impersonated him so as to cancel the deployment of some last ditch Nazi superweapon, and then made Hitler's death look like a suicide.

For the curious, the superweapon was a bunch of some kind of Human-Octopus-Vampire hybrid called Nosferatu. Though I don't imagine they were too big of a threat, as they would have had to have been dealt with anyways even if they never got deployed.

Cue the disbelief and denials.
Then anger, lots of anger.

Edit:

Anyone else reminded of Kreiger from the tv show Archer?.

"You are the-" Here we go, Cake Man. "-Orange Lantern, yes?"

I nod. "Yes, sir."

He immediately holds out his right hand, a beatific look appearing on his face. "Thank you." I take his hand in my right only for him to grab hold with his left as well. "From the bottom of my heart, thank you. The day on which my children disappeared was the worst in my life." Oh. "If not for young superheroes like yourself I might never have seen them again."
Things have come a long way from where they used to be.

"Recovery effort? I suppose that's one way of putting it. Yes, um, I've.. been in Gotham and New York here in the States, Liverpool, Calcutta... A bunch of small places on, um.. aircraft flight paths..."

"What are you doing now?"

"Heh. Um... Sitting at home watching television, actually."

The line goes quiet. Yeah, that's.. probably not the way I should have gone with that. "Do you.. do you really think this is a good time to be watching TV?"

"It was this or try Call of Glory.. and I don't know where Kid Flash hid the controllers."

"You are aware that the death toll stands at around eight hundred thousand?"

Oh, for goodness..! "Miss Grant, I really don't need this from you, alright? I haven't eaten anything for five days. I haven't slept for five days and whenever I try.. whenever I close my eyes all I can see is piles of mangled wreckage and children's bodies. I'm sitting at home right now because Wonder Woman ordered me to. She ordered me to stop because I'd got to the point that I couldn't cope and I'm.. I'm sorry about that, I realise it's so much worse for the parents, but don't think I'd be much use to anyone at the moment."
Where they used to be sucked.

Actually Krieger had it last in this story, he used it during the mind-controlled JL incident.

Warning! Spell Eater approaching critical temperature.

Huh? There isn't any-. Within the circle I see Krieger stamp the butt of the spear down on two of the runes which respond by glowing purple. Wait. Spear? Nazis? I couldn't get a good picture of the Spear of Destiny but that thing used to be able to mind control anyone who entered Nazi territory. And there's Nazis all over the Watchtower. It's an area effect so being unscryable won't help! I load another Mageslayer and target Krieger and then.. my gun.. lowers itself.

"An old spell, but a good one I think."

"Knew there was a reason I brought you along. Now bring him over here so I can tear him apart!"

I can't look down but I feel my left foot move of its own accord. Ah hell. **Orange Lantern here. If anyone's free-?**

Nabu.

The stated reason being 'to make him look like a coward' is amusing, as in actual fact the German military considered it to be the honourable thing to do.

@somnolentSlumber
Not sure if haven't refreshed, or just messing with me.
Ah. I forgot about that. Too lazy to go back to that update . . . Did they recover it or did Krieger take it with him when he fled into Asgard?
Took it with him, though he lost the mask.
 
"Those particular people are dead, but… There's no particular reason why you couldn't meet up with their descendants." He nods, oddly cheered by the news. "Mister Schreiber, there's no easy way to say this. But I have reason to believe that you are a clone of Adolf Hitler."

"Trust me, this is just as awkward for me as it likely is for you. Sorry."
