Man, kindergarten on other planets must be pretty damn epic. You don't get stars on your report, you get BALLS OF PLASMA.

heh, poor bullock. It's always funny to watch the most aggressively mundane detective in the setting have to deal with the crazy bullshit superheroes do in there day to day.

Is that an offer?
No, but this is the reason for canon omakes. If you really want something, something believable, to be an official part of the story, you can write it yourself.

Thing is, I don't really think they would. Kilowog might make a few mocking comments with the aim of encouraging him to improve his 'resting' defences, but he and Salaak both know how dangerous and capable Star Conquerors are.

But, he have evidence that smomething was wrong (see where he was talking about being tired) and didn't immediately have someone preform a medical scan of any sort... But now that I think about it... The SC probably took the time to implant instructions to do just that.

Corps, unless they've suddenly turned into a business.
A medical scan might not have even revealed anything particularly worrisome, since it wouldn't have found psychically-implanted subliminal commands.
Though given that he's a Greenie, he can't really use his ring for healing, so where are the five scars where the thing stuck to his face?
Did the Watchtower sensors pick up the Star Destroyers when they started regenerating/defrosting into whole free entities? If not, that seems to be a big hole in the defenses that the GLs were said to have been allowed to turn on when the initial concern about Star Destroyers was raised months ago.
those sensors were looking outward, towards space, not towards Earth (Because the Justice League is working under UN jurisdiction and more than one member of the Security Council (not to mention a mess of the smaller members) are likely paranoid about the Justice League 'spying' on them.)

Thank you, corrected.
One of the Atlanteans knew basic biomancy and healed them at the end of their 'sessions'.
My suspicion is that the Red Hunter is special. Maybe it's a mutation, maybe it has magic.
If some of the little stars that escaped were red, and they go back to the collective...

That reminds me! I was rewatching one of the episodes in season 2 about a month ago, and I noticed at one point that both Batman and John Stewart referred to it as the "Green Lantern Core". No P sound at all. Thought it really odd that the team behind the show would get it wrong.
Edit: wasn't the scene I originally found, but in S2E3 about 5 minutes in is an example of John Stewart saying "Core" instead of "Corps"

Why is corps pronounced 'core?' - Quora
or a bit more precise
"Corps" and "corpse" both have the same ultimate origin in Latin "corpus" (body).
The former derives from the Latin via Medieval French, as far as I know. The French pronunciation "korr" (or slightly Anglicised to "kohr" or even "kore") is thus the historically correct pronunciation.
Pronouncing it in any way ending with an "s" is not advisable. It certainly won't give others the impression that you're educated. (Worst of all is "corpse" - please never say it like that.)
and a third one
Corps is pronounced with a silent "p" and silent "s" (kor). The plural is also spelled corps, but is pronounced with a silent "p" and with a "z" sound. (korz)

That's how it's supposed to be pronounced. The "ps" is silent.

Huh. I guess that's one of those words I've never actually heard pronounced, I've only read it and went with how it would phonetically be said.
I still maintain that it's silly. I mean, we enunciate the P in corporal.

Funnily enough the word 'corps' (meaning 'body' in english) also has a silent 'ps' meaning it phonetically sounds like 'core' (though the pronunciation is somehow different due to differences in how things are said in french vs english).

Oh I was doing some wiki walking to discover what some heroes had been up to since last I saw them, and I was reminded of a device that would shore up the capabilities of the inertia belts Paul has made standard issue for the team- Skyrocket of Power Company's Argo Harness- an energy storage and conversion device.
While the inertia belts are top tier against kinetic threats, which I'd say are the majority of attacks even in a comic book based universe such as this, the argo harness allows for the harmless absorption of energy based attacks, and the energy thereof could even be channeled into more useful forms of energy, like say converting it into kinetic energy for an inertia belt to channel into a forcefield, or into a nice refreshing charge of solar energy for Superboy.
Or if you're facing someone who isn't immune to their own form of energy, give them a taste of their own medicine by shooting it right back at them.
Presuming anyone from Power Company is included in this version of Earth-16 of course.
Another interesting little gadget from Power Company is Sapphire's serpent's egg- an alien artifact that basically seems to be the scientific version of the witchblade. At least partially powered by telekinesis it's capable of forming protective armor, shapeshifting into various things like weapons and whatnot, flying, and forcefield generation. Kryptonian powers are merely telekinesis adjacent here, Megan might get some utility out of it but it seems largely redundant with her natural abilities, although some serpent egg armors might make nice birthday presents for Manchester Black or Ace if Grayven is feeling generous.

Then next time Starro shows up it'll be ranting about destroying capitalism and calling its possessed bodies Comrade.

Unlikely. The episode is nearly over, with only two segments of Paragon left. A Star Conquerer on Ice's face is a very immediate threat, and I doubt the Star Hunters would be dumb enough to send one of their mind control agents to a task with basically no long term gain. I mean, they knew this sector has 4 Lanterns who regularly stay on Earth, with one one Earth full time. Controlling Ice doesn't get them anything.

The Atlantean scientists that were in contact with the Star Conquerors will have to be fixed as well before they go on the run to serve their Starro masters.
Also wonder if when the Greenie group gets here they will take one of the captured Red Starros to be studied since they would prove a major threat if they left the planet to join the rest of their kin that the Guardians would want to study beforehand to know how to deal with them.
After all they can use magic now and that is very rare outside of earth.

Presumably Kaldur's team already applied the curetech after subduing them, back when they arrived at the site and the researchers tried to star-face them. They were under Starro-tech, not star-face.
Remember how it turns out that Starros can program people; without checking there's no way to tell if they can do that through the Starro-tech too, and you don't want to take chances there.

Won't work if the normal stars were the ones that took control and implanted instructions like what happened to Guy.
