With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Twelve)

Note that in most ways, Luthor is the most exposed of the Light, and has the most to lose.
His fortune is mostly legal, and documented; his political influence is linked to his public image.
He is a public figure, and thus can be easily tracked and followed by friend and foe alike, or targeted; see what happened with the Young Offenders.

His companies fund the bulk of their terrestrial RnD, and investigators can almost certainly tie a formerly-Luthorcorp company to the Starrotech RnD.
Especially if they have power ring help, and surviving workers.
Besides, the threat of augmented Starros is enough for Green Lanterns to actually assist the investigation into their origins, and he didn't have many friends there in the first place.

Superhero suspicions will lock his business interests out of Atlantean business opening.
Not to mention that his erstwhile allies will be entirely happy to watch him fall and pick up what pieces they can.
Again, see Ra's.
If he was free to jump, he'd jump ship, especially with the deal OL is offering; ergo, he isn't.

Same project is trying to automatically find harmful outliers, like spree killers, terrorists, and people in domestic abuse situations.

Just be aware, when you start seeing MLP ads; Facebook is watching.
They know.
They've always known...

Inhouse methods, no peer review.
When I see a study whose methodology I can vet, then I might buy it.

I am willing to believe that some pedophiles will be attracted to TV shows and mass media that target the same demographic of children.
A statistically significant correlation, OTOH, requires a higher burden of proof.
All claims of this sort do at the moment is cast a shadow on bronies that I'm not sure is warranted.

Aish. You'll be waiting til you're dead, probably.

Let the soothing nasally voice of John Oliver enlighten you


Of course, replace trying to get funding with getting clicks, but the rest is probably pretty similar.

Time for another Ophidi-chan powered scan I think. A few hours, perhaps a day or so, should get him the data he needs.

Thing is, it never occurred to him that he could use the exact same ability to give element control abilities to people who didn't have it.

No clue where this comes from. His ability to disable Bending came from very precisely aimed brain damage (Similar to the thing Superman did to Manchester.) not actual bending power manipulation.

Really? I thought he was energy bending. Yes, one of the characters says that he's using water bending to... Don't remember the exact quote, mimic energy bending? But they weren't actually in a position to know whether he was or not. Given that his father told him about energy bending it seems far more likely to me that he actually was energy bending people rather than inventing a new thing which has the same effect. And we know that energy bending can give bending to nonbenders from Korra's flashback.

Anyway, that's what the SI though happened and he went through Last Airbender not realising that bending was inherent rather than learned.

I personally always figured he was using Blood Bending to cut off part of the brain that had to do with bending so that users had "forgotten" how to do it and their state afterward of looking really unhealthy mentally and physically makes it seem like it's a form of brain damage.

Course like said this is what matters more.

Does anyone else think that the Light have something on Lex that is making it so that he can't quit or turn on them at all? I mean Klarion is scary enough as is to really fear not to mention others that possibly joined the Light like Satanus.

Well its about the fact Paul revealed to Lex he knows about the Light.

To be honest it wouldn't be hard to conclude it logically. Truggs is an enforcer for them and what he did could easily suggest a link, but link technologies, Starro and chaos magic with Klarion and all it means to the Light is that either the League or "The Children" to quote Savage have deduced there's a connection. And without Morrow around, the list of people they could have for tech guys is... slim.

And that's what the characters assumed it was. But that doesn't explain how energy bending fixed it.

Amon's father taught him how to psychically waterbend. As in, waterbend from the mind only, rather than with body movements. It's sort of akin to combustion bending, in terms of a special type of bending form.

How Amon learned that he could take bending away is a mystery, but he basically severed chi paths that allow bending to take place.

I'm guessing energybending recreates chi paths or regrows them or something like it?

I always figured that Energy Bending fixed the damage done and then established the connection that was severed when that part of the brain was damaged.

Then again doesn't really relate to story so doesn't matter in long run.

in legend of aang he gets chi blocked, by being attacked in the avatar state, and water can't heal it. this suggests water-bending has limits. if amon learned a trick to mimic the damage that aang got on chakra 7, and redirect it to chakra 1-4 (the bending chakras), then no-one would have the ability to fix it. my theory is he severs the links from body to spirit from the body side. which the energy bending reattaches.
 
.. you know, of the negative possibilities(i.e if he isnt setting up for a COVERT intel transfer), i don' know what i feel is more depressing... that Luthor's an outright slave, or that someone who, in this incarnation, has genuine potential to be a force for good,who, as far as we've seen, ISNT a petty,murderous lunatic, is as....psychologically unwell as the others, and unable to back away form his current course, no matter how much evidence of him being wrong piles up...

Because if this was true, any Waterbender healer would have reversed it.

Any Water Bender who spent years mastering Blood Bending then learned what bits of the nervous system relate to Bending could do it. Undoing it… more problematic. We have no reason to think Amon could restore Bending.

Presumably the same way Energy Bending grants the power in the first place.

Think of it this way: Guy A uses telekinesis to shred the nerves in Victim's spine. Guy B uses magic to re-grow Victim's spine.
 
Grayven Killed HIs Klarion with the Sword of the Fallen, a weapon that forcibly equates Avatar-Death to Overself-Death, and Klarion is an Avatar-using-Overself Entity.

ALL the Klarions are Dead. All of them.

OL simply doesn't Know that his is dead yet.

But restoring the spine only works if the problem is in the spine. And if the problem is in the spine, why can't you magically fix this other guy's spine that wasn't destroyed by telekinesis?
