bleed'n' murderin' pederast tossers

But I am not prepared to remove one government only for them to be replaced by another which is just as corrupt. Or for them not to be replaced at all.
Humm…
Didn't Mr Zoat say that Grayven would be putting a Red Lantern in charge of Britain?

On the subject, who is currently running the country that Grayven's angels decapitated?
 
Canker.

Hah! Grayven wouldn't put Chester in charge of a country. He's not even putting him in charge of his own missions!

In theory, the Vice President. In practice, the south has seeded and the main rebel groups are trying to organise things under the watchful eye of the UN/African Union troops.
 
*Reads various theories*

Wait no one is considering the "Spy/politcal thriller" false flag option?

Specifically that the Director is lieing through his teeth to point them at this general for his own reasons (Perhaps to give a internationally acceptable reason to invade armenia?) and was behind the attack instead?

Especially since its very likely he has profiles on Wally showing how impatient and snap judgeing he is? (WOnder if the director is internally grinding his teeth at OL doing things by the book instead of Rash actions by Kid Flash? )
Rather risky given OL's powerset. One glimpse of the wrong desire could betray you.

"Eh, if it comes to it I'll just throw him into space. Alright, I think that's everything. You can go and get started-."
How? He's un-throw-able:
Vera nods. "That, and he's as strong as he needs t' be. Hit him and it won't even knock him over. Try wrestling with him and youw'll lose, however strong you are."
That sounds like he's immovable as well as being invulnerable. As Superboy is sadly aware, being tough and strong doesn't stop people who are also strong from punching you off the battlefield and making you slog all the way back.

I admit, I'm pretty curious about how strong as he needs to be works as an acknowledged power.

He's not just really strong - this sounds like his strength actually fluctuates based on the opponent. Can he lift a really heavy rock, or does he need a living opponent? Is there a measurable gap between the start of a fight and his strength rising to the challenge, like Lung, Eidolon, Parasite or Hulk? Is it more a question of "nothing can move him/impede his movement", like Siberian or Juggernaut? Or is it more of a Superman/Goku thing, where drawing on his "true power" costs him so he usually holds back?

Not necessarily, knockback is from impact, throwing is from lift. You can't hurt Superman with a karate chop (usually), but he can be thrown. Not that throwing a guy who can fly really achieves much....

All my knowledge of the character('s father) is second hand from wikis and the like, but his power list is invulnerability- can survive nukes, can survive in outer space or at the bottom of the ocean, weapons break on his skin, it also provides an all round bonus- Running 100 mph in a forest and "moving faster than the eye can follow," photographic memory, learning languages in hours, figuring out machines in minutes (planes and the like), and mystic visions.

In 2000AD, the Eye was retconned to not be a mystic artifact but alien and alive, and had merged with his nervous system, keeping him alive centuries after he originally put it on, but it turns out that they didn't actually have the rights to the character after all.

I suppose it's possible that it's actually Tim Kelly pretending to be his own son and the eye wasn't implanted but actually grew into him like a weed, but I doubt it.
 
Oh, come on. You pick up the thing he's standing on! That's so basic it's barely even munchkinning!

I know, right? Although if his power is sufficiently broken, he might just stay in place while the ground smashes around him. So it really depends on just how far that thing takes his "immovable object" schtick.

He's irritable, but not Red Lantern irritable.

If all else fails, forming an alcubierre drive and moving the space he is located in to another location would work. It's ludicrously over the top, but even if he is literally immovable when he wants to be it would work.

At that point, you just get a wizard to turn his mind/soul into grape jelly. Let's see how much use the British aristocracy can derive from an invulnerable madman who spends all his time trying to tear out the invisible pixies that live inside his skin and shrieking about how Mongolian spacemen want to steal his penis.

If the body cannot be harmed, destroy the mind. If nothing else, it'd be possible to break him with a sufficiently well-managed campaign of psychological warfare.
 
well the local top psion wasn't able to affect his mind, so the mystical protection seems to extend to mental attacks. psychological warfare might work, or he might go homicidal. better to just boom tube him into space.

The chapter mentions that he's totally immune to human psychics, which I think Zoat is extrapolating from the fact his nemesis in the comics had a matching gem that granted mind-control and he was immune to that. He's probably got the same conceptual immunity to mental attacks he does to physical ones.

(But probably not anti-magic attacks, given there doesn't seem to be a defence against those beyond raw power. Yet another being who can challenge the gods, yet not Cornwall Boy.)

Is this property subject to the same conditions that allow or disallow an elevator to lift Thor's hammer? I legitimately have no idea.
 
well then use a hologram to have him walk into a boom tube under his own power, or fake an order for him to go through one and leave him stranded on oh lets say Pluto.

It should be noted that after trying and failing to pick up Mjolnir a one shot character named Elfqueen with the power to animate matter had the ground Thor's hammer was resting on turn into a hand and smash Thor with his own hammer.

I'm just amused that it took her about thirty seconds to figure a way around Mjolnir's restriction.
