That reminds me, in DC 1 million humanity has extended to each of the planets in the solar system-
The interesting ones are-
Mars- Martian Manhunter becomes the genius locus of the planet after giving Darkseid his final defeat, his presence causes some of the human martians to give birth to ethnically martian children, so his people live again.
Neptune- Atlanteans moved here
Venus- The amazons moved here. So Queen Hippolyta became the queen of Venus in this timeline.

She interrupted him and she's dreadfully afraid of disappointing or offending him. It's a characteristic he's probably stuck with now.
Thank you, corrected.
Isn't that... Totally fucked up?

That depends on how organized the tribal factions are and how willing the superpowered person is to use violence.
All people involved are 100% human and fully able to feel fear

It makes sense when you divide 1 million by 19230.769230 repeating.

Well, this is almost guaranteed to go horribly wrong. On the upside it may well force them to take up more nuanced and accurate moral beliefs, on the downside it will do it by showing them the huge piles of corpses they are indirectly responsibly for.

as a safeish/perminant solution, how about prosthetic eyes, if there is a breakthrough in related tech/ prosthetics with a high level of parity to natural limbs/organs start approaching practicality/marketability.
actually, for Lex, THAT could be a very good PR project. there HAS to be at least 60 different positive angles on curing Medusa of her curse of petrification......
A problem with the suggestions being made about Medusa is that it doesn't change the fact that she's almost certainly hideous to herself. She's not a member of some snake-person species who thinks of herself as normal, she's a transformation victim.
As for a solution? Some kind of teleoperated android avatar-body comes to mind, once OL gets hold of the technology for such a thing.

Huh. I didn't catch that, but then again, I haven't paid much attention to Misa's character here. I was wondering if she thought it was some sort of an amaterasu-reference.

it's not that you weren't paying attention, there just wasn't much character development for misa yet. she is a new character who was only in a few updates
Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. Misa is Japanese and Amaterasu is both the Sun Goddess and one of the Japanese pantheon's 'big three' (also supposedly the Japanese Imperial family is descended from her).

Is she a horse?
In Okami she's a quadruped at least... A white wolf, though.
I like this lecture on morals via the Socratic method.

I actually did a quick google search using 'Japanese myth horse' since I too had wondered if there was anything specific to warrant Misa's fear (this was directly after my finished reading of the snippet and before Zoat's explanation on how she had interrupted Grayven).
While not exactly that close, there is a sort of negative connotation associated with people born in a 'Fire Horse' year.
I'm sure there are probably quite a few people familiar with the Chinese Zodiac: the 12-year repeating cycle that associates a specific animal to a year. The Zodiac still has quite the influence on Japanese superstition. What is slightly less known is that the 12 Animal Zodiac can be combined with the 5 Chinese Elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, Metal) to form an even larger 60-year cycle called the sexagenary cycle.
So, for example, it's more commonly known that a specific year can be the Year of the Goat, but it's rather less known that it's actually, say, Wood Goat, and the Year of the Goat before it was Water Goat, and it will be followed by Fire Goat.
Each combination has their individual connotation associated with them, good and bad, and Hinoe-Uma, the 'Fire Horse', was particularly bad for females, that girls born in that year are headstrong, dangerous, and bad luck for the husband.
This particular belief was so prevalent that the latest year, 1966, saw a massive drop in birthrate (apparently some 463,000 less than the year before) amongst the Japanese in hopes of either avoiding having their children grow up to prove the belief correct, or to avoid causing their children to be stigmatized by others because of this belief. Here, take a look (a bit hard to see, I know, transparent picture on a white background source):
You can see the massive dip in births compared to the rest of the graph (the general declining birthrate in recent years is another matter altogether). You can also observe that the parents really tried to have children in the years before and the year directly after 1966, so as to avoid that dangerous year itself.
Misa could logically think of a 'fire horse' when told 'sun horse' without knowing it's more 'sunlight horse', assuming she had that level of knowledge of the sexagenary cycle in the first place. But then it doesn't really make that much sense...
Ah forget it, just take the info.

I wish Grayven had been my teacher when I was little.
I mean, lets be frank here; my sense of ethics is already pretty f&^#ed up. But if I'd been taught by Grayven, at least my sense of ethics would be less erratic.

Would that be the people living on J'onn like parasites or the having kids who are a different species than them that's throwing you off?
People get weird in the future.
I didn't even mention the weirdness that was Legion of Superheroes 1 Million.
-Cosmic Boy's people have somewhere along the lines become robots, as represented by Cosmicbot
-Planetary marriages apparently became a fad somewhen and various planets decided to make their people's one, like the Coluans and the people of the planet Bgztl in an effort to become a people of pure mind, the daxamites and the Imskians merged so their representation in the legion 1 million are the miniature but mighty monelves
-The moon Titan is now an old folks home for those who would enjoy their golden years in a telepathic virtual reality
-The Cargittes decided to shrink their planet and allow Implicate Girl to wear the planet as a piece of third eye jewelry which allows her to channel the collective skills and knowledge of the entire planet
On one hand, comic book silliness, on the other hand, these are people have had who knows how many singularities between now and then.
Luther Luther, ironically the head of the Superman fan club in the 853rd century, was given the powers of Superman and Lex Luther to celebrate the occasion. Not that Lex Luther had superpowers in this continuity, but after 833 centuries I figure they're do to have a few misunderstandings, so I presume they made Luther Luther the powers of a kryptonian and a mad scientist like previous versions of Lex.
Well at least he isn't just parroting 'With great power comes great responsibility' and letting them come to their own conclusions about what it means.
Fortunately they don't have that kind of firepower. A speedster, a telepath and an effectively powerless teenager can only do so much damage so quickly.
