This is amazing, you are amazing and I'm hoping to enjoy this story for a good while yet.
Because comic superscience is fundamentally nonsensical and is so utterly beyond the means of the tools, sciences, resources, and infrastructure of the time in which it is built that comics just try to gloss over the gaping discrepancies as much and as quickly as possible.
*Puts on Zoat Hat*
It was briefly touched on during Grayven's foray into Earth 50. New God tech works by linking up to the soul of a New God. The more powerful the God, the greater the result. They're also very advanced in conventional and arcane terms. Building a fear propagating device wasn't all that hard for them, they just hadn't had any reason to set it up in advance or learn that it was super effective against Green Lanterns. Once Desaad had a chance to dissect a ring they just threw Parademons at the Corps until his device was ready.
Alright... now, these practitioners of chemistry. Is there a way to remove the sudafed from their bodies that would be nonlethal? Or, even better, legal? If not, I think it might be easier to get it from a pharmacy.
You do realize the shards know about more then their hosts PoV, right? Like full Star Trek scanner arrays that reach into separate dimensions. And they are continent sized super computers. They can basically scan everything the host could gain access to at an atomic level, run it through a continent sized analytical engine, and transmit step by step instructions to the host in ways a WH40K STC cannot even do. And this is before the blatant cheating they can do behind the scenes to help black box and obfuscate the overall process. They create a corona inside a potential host before it ever triggers, think of the kind of delicate micro scale TK that takes. Now imagining it using that on the parts the host is working on, or even stuff the the host does not even know about yet, but will be brought to his attention later as a suitable component. Unbelievable tolerances that cannot be met by normal tools and human nerves are moot if the shard can shave or add a few microns when it needs to, to shift a contaminate that would spoil the work into a different dimension.
Good ol plan 'We have tons of expendable reserves'
So that's the scenario! It is a credible one, if you want to fit in his "early" career, especially considering the new gods can reincarnate as humans. Has this particular bit of misinformation been referred to before?
He's mentioned it in setting before, but it has only been referred to tangentially in the story.
I'm familiar with the subcommittee in question but I have no idea how it gets abbreviated in congressional jargon.
That doesn't change the fact that M'gann has nigh half a century of experience being M'gann M'orzz, White Martian. Removing the mental block doesn't suddenly change who she is. She didn't immediately turn into a slavering flame beast. Given that she's still otherwise everything she was before, there is no reason to assume a priori that any other facets of normal Martian life will have been affected that radically -- that is, unless there's some explicit reason to believe otherwise, she probably reproduces the same way any other modern Martian does.
Which is why Apokolips and Darkseid have never really been an unstoppable military force type enemy.
People already do believe in fairies and they did come back.
:lolI don`t think there`s enough of them to drown Apokolips`s forces.
rofl:
Sure. Wait a few days for them to pee it out.
That's happening now with regular science. Just slower.
Depending on where you live, it might update daily.
I agree that the way DC does it is rather fundamentally incoherent, but it isn't as much of a stretch as you make it sound to make things that are centuries ahead of their time if given the proper knowledge. Given sufficient copper and smithing tools, you could make some basic electrical generation and devices in the time of the Roman Empire.
Mmmmmmm. Depends. If you want to make a story where conflict against an outside force is the major driving force for the plot, then it would be bad writing to make the protagonist much more powerful than the antagonist(s). Frodo walking up to the Nazgul and beheading them, and continuing to do that for the entire story, would be boring. I agree it's not necessary to make the main antagonist be physically more powerful than the protagonist, but the story has to be focused on something besides fighting then.
There's other ways to sidestep that issue. For example, what you're fighting could change you, so you'd have to choose between leaving things be or knowing you won't be the same when you've fixed the issue.
But she hasn`t said the records, just the beatles.
Yes, but that falls under changing the focus of the story. The main conflict is no longer between the main character and the big bad villain. It's an internal struggle then.
It's a better kind of struggle when your MC reaches a certain power level (in relation to what he usually fights). After all, no one really wonders if superman can beat the next big bad, what's interesting is seeing him struggle with his convictions and such. Plus in this story I've always found the more internal battles and general uplifting to be more interesting than righteous face punching.
Indeed. There were some terra cotta pots discovered in Iraq containing iron tubes and copper rods that, if assembled and filled with an acidic solution, could have generated about a volt of electricity. No credible archaeologist actually thinks that it was actually USED that way, and instead it was probably a weather-sealed scroll case, but it COULD have functioned using only technology known at the time (estimated to be in the 3rd century AD). It would have only required the right kind of accidental discovery to have set off an electrical revolution 1600 years early.
.....More of a...traditional sort, rather.People already do believe in fairies and they did come back.Or did you mean some other fairies?
This is not Worm
