Goddamn it, forgot that part. OK, so we got the past about Dear Uncle Mal right. Then we got the crazy Martian Klannies in the mix during Megan's return to Mars after the Burner's reveal. And it sounded like the Hyper Klan was trying to recruit Malefic.
Actually K'hym is also Mal's niece on acount of being his brother's daughter so this:
Can be parsed as Mal wanting to "thank" his niece, Paul thinking he means M'gann, but then he notices that Mal's other niece is there and that she is probably the one responcible for this mess.
They clearly don't entirely understand themselves what they are doing, as demonstrated by their thinking that the Guardians are OL's "owners". On top of that they are fanatics. So, figuring out what they intended to do is rather difficult, since their intended results and what actually happened may well be rather far apart.
No, they had to put them somewhere.
Thank you, corrected.

Thank you, corrected.
A few reasons, not all of them particularly sensible. She was the only Martian who'd felt his mind while he was rampaging, as he'd kept his mental shields firmly in place before that. She was already infiltrating the White movement and so could (in disguise) get to his zoo without it being suspicious or (given the distances involved) painful. And it was hoped that contact with new Ma'alefa'ak would help her accept that the old one was gone.
That...is a very poor list of reasons. In fact the first reason doesn't even make sense; how does having felt his rampaging mind - as a victim no less - help keep watch over the guy? Have the Manhunters not heard of conflict of interests?
OL probably doesn't know himself, they both sound like things the Hyperclan members would say and they aren't going to be identifying themselves to him.

Because she knows what it looks like. If he shows any signs of reverting, she's best able to spot it.
Yes, but they're also telepathic. If someone is thinking 'I hate this person but I will still do this job to the best of my abilities' there isn't the same impetus to remove all such conflicts.
They probably will.
hey, wait. thats a good idea. why didnt POL just start a few small fires to turn all the martians in the place catatonic.
Considering that destiny (of both the small "d" and capital "D" variety) is an actual thing in the setting, quite possibly not. That's probably one reason Grayven wants "immunity to destiny"; he doesn't want to be railroaded into being a character.
Alternatively, the induced personality won't have the presence necessary to fight back for a while. Evil!Ma'al is triumphant and in a position of power - maybe if he gets set on fire or something Good!Ma'al will make a comeback.
I'm honestly much less interested in this episode now: there's no nuance here, just a generic GOOD vs. EEEEVIL punchfest at best, assuming Zoat doesn't decide to have Malware reenact Game of Thrones for the next few updates (which I'll admit is unlikely, but considering he already ditched an interesting narrative for "MWAHAHAHAHA I AM RAPIST MURDERER!", I'm not feeling particularly charitable at the moment.)
That's an awful lot to get out of one snippet.
Yeah. Another set character of canonically evil characters are acting evil in the same way as they did in the comics but with a minor adjustment for the Young Justice universe. The story is ruined forever!
This is really starting to reach 'blithering idiot' levels of repetition. How many times must he be curbstomped by telepaths before he stops opening his brain for them?
Indeed. It is hardly the fault of the Martian justice system that they live in DC and that death becomes rather more negotiable when the main characters come to visit.
They don't actually need that in order to attack you. At worst he gave Ma'al a minor assist in exchange for getting a much better idea about what was going on.
He opened his barriers slightly. And he had no other way to listen to M'gann and the others who weren't talking verbally.
