Isn't fate out of commission being a construct in Grayvens timeline... and Grayven has given up the orange power ring?
He hasn't given it up, he's just not using it to conserve his now-limited power supply. Construct Lanterns only use up power at the moment of creation, as I recall from the Truggs ordeal and the Hell thing, so Nabu should still be around.
 
This is comic-science, ALL metals are magnetic, and even if some were not, magnetic powers would probably still work on them. Hell I'm pretty sure if the writer feels like it, magnetic powers will affect even non-metals.
In this story only magnetic metals are magnetic.
2. I really hope this isn't what Mr. Zoat meant by getting more Kid Flash. With any luck, he'll be showing up when we transition back to the main story in a few days.
It isn't and I will.
3. I'm hoping this will give us a chance to see Grayven do something unambiguously heroic and good.
Very nearly.
That through my actions
Pretty sure that should be "Your powers".
Thank you, corrected.

She already started building her own arcane laboratory and has a team of G-Dwarves transcribing and indexing every piece of arcane lore she can find. A worthwhile investment, to be sure.
I love the idea of the Genomorphs adding arcane lore to their hive mind database, especially since they build new subspecies(?) using mythological creatures as a template.

Given their collective intellectual resources, the Genomorphs might be the key to bridging the gap between sorcery and conventional science. Grayven has already given knowledge on biomancy to Cranius and UnCorp, and offered to fund the Metropolis Paranormal Clinic (name?), so there's already an institutional infrastructure for "alternative sciences" in the works.

And if the Genomorphs really are derived from Doomsday, then gradually transitioning from "bio-constructs" to "magic-based lifeforms" will help set them further and further apart from their progenitor.
Wait a minute. He actually IS. He's a New God, and he's a spiritual father. He's a god-father!
Grayven really should legally establish guardians or godparents for Lynne in case anything ever happened to him.

I vote for Batman: properly paranoid, financial resources, has experience with troubled youths, has a large support network (i.e. the Justice League), etc.

Robin: "Bat-dad is best dad."

That, and I love the idea of a superhero custody battle between Batman, the Freemans, and whoever else might stick their noses where they don't belong.
 
Maybe. But it was the Renegade who helped Wallace with his own metapower difficulty, and he's thinking beyond her current injuries. There isn't much hope for someone who's a walking electronics bane if she can't dramatically improve her control quickly.

Seems like a stretch to jump from "she's going to die because she needs medical attention inmediately" to "better make sure can control her powers so she doesn't encounter problems in everyday life."

Wallace knew for a fact that Grayven can fix both problems, and the doctors were having trouble treating her due to her control problem. Wallace doesn't know how good Zatanna's healing magics are.

You would have to be VERY desperate. STEEL needles are ALREADY one-time tools. Most plastics just cannot be made sharp enough to function. Those that can, and that can be made into a fine enough tube, are also very brittle.
The needles are only used once due to sanitary reasons right? They're not broken after being used, just contaminated.
Aluminum would be a much better choice. It's not ideal (if it were, we'd be USING it) but it would work well enough and it'd be easier to actually manufacture the needle.
I wasn't confident in which metals were and were not magnetic at midnight just before I went to sleep.
@Jamie Roberts , have you ever thought about eating a random baby alive?
Provided the baby isn't human, sometimes. We eat chicken eggs after all.
In this story only magnetic metals are magnetic.
Technically that's always true, regardless of which specific metals are magnetic.

Yes, I get what you mean, but what you mean isn't as funny.
"You're Lynne godparents now."
"We're not going to-"
"Thanks for agreeing, you're such good people, bye now."
"... I hate him so much."
No, Grayven is the godparent. Scott and Barda are the goduncle and godaunt, respectively.
Which ones? The Earth 16 or Earth 50 versions?
He can't even contact the Earth 50 ones.

In the provided link, she was the one who caused the car crash through her uncontrolled magnetic powers. If Grayven just heals and leaves, she's likely to cause another in short order.
 
Come to think of it, if major healing magic was anything other than extremely rare then Constantine wouldn't have had to go to Hell of all places to get a cure for his lung cancer.
 
Put a magnet, even a stationary one, close to your computer and see how that works out for you.
If you have a solid-state hard drive and a non-CRT display, this won't be a problem at all. I use a magnetic dash mount for my cell phone.

It's not JUST sanitary reasons, but those are the most significant. The sharpness of the edge wears with every use, and after as few as three uses the tip has blunted sufficiently to cause substantially more pain on insertion.

Repeat customers, nice.

On the other hand, Constantine has a lot less magical oomph than a Lord of Order or a nascent New God of magic.
 
But he knows a lot about the magical community. If strong healing magic was anything other than really rare he could have found a better alternative. Even Constantine doesn't treat deals with Hell as his first choice of options.
I assumed the issue was that by the time in his career where the lung cancer became a problem, he'd developed a sufficiently bad reputation that none of the healers he knew about wanted anything to do with him. Like, by bad reputation, I mean "people around him are overwhelmingly likely to die horribly", not just "he's a dick."

You have to remember that comic-book magnekines control all metals, not just ferrous metals.

Magneto would be a lot less threatening if he couldn't control aluminium.

I argue that those characters are metallokines, not magnetokines, but CALLING it "magnetism" gives a better mental image, both for the readers and for people in-universe. Given that most structural metals ARE ferromagnetic, most exhibitions of the power would look the same anyway.
