I don't get the Lex crush so many have. He isn't better, wiser, more competent, or more clever then his associates. He dresses up in the skin of a businessman rather then a ninja or a warlord, but scratch the surface and his character is the same.
 
This was the reason.

A fascinating video. Although several of the questions raised weren't answered in the clips, the one regarding Nabu was (if... with some suspicious declarations. Nabu didn't let Zatara say his piece, after all - he merely conveyed it himself. Nabu probably doesn't lie. Probably - but his desire to take a body is too strong for his discipline as a Lord of Order to stand fully against it, as we saw in Renegade. And he still stopped training apprentices, doesn't look for new hosts - in his great age, Nabu has become slothful, willing to hurt others for his own convenience even when it less-advances the cause of Order.)
Based on Batman's approach with Captain Marvel and Robin, I suspect that he probably has Zatanna under enough observation to have some idea of what is happening... But I wouldn't bet strongly on it. He has failed such investigations before - Cadmus, for instance.

I remember Batman asking Paul if he thought Black Adam would be willing to be JL's inside man in the Light, I think during Robin's birthday.

Was this ever followed up?
 
don't, with only one apostrophe.
Thank you, corrected.
No clue on if he plans to cover the YJ Videogame or if OL is going to sit that entire situation out. Without Klarion it might be a moot point. Definitely is Renegade side.
That period of time will be covered, certainly. The events, probably. The content will be drastically altered because the game is poop, but I'll try not to make it too ranty.
@Mr Zoat, what's you're preferred method of address for this story's main character by we the fans?
  • Agent Orange
  • the Main Character (MC)
  • Orange Lantern 2814 (OL / Oh El)
  • Paragon
  • Paul
  • Pavlos
  • the Self-Insert (SI)
  • Other (Insert Here)
You're free to use any method that makes sense to you. I call him the SI.

It became redundant after he took to the field directly against them.

Oh, minor piece of bad news. The part of the story which I've currently got as part 1 of the next episode feels awkward where it is placed, so I'm going to move it back to before the interview. This means that it will be out of sequence in this thread.
 
You know, it occurs to me that after the assassination of Nabu, John has all he needs to start his own Justice League Dark out of people involved. Himself, Adom, Robert, Jade, John's coat... That's a lot of superpowers.
 
Now I really, really want to see if delivery by magic messenger is a valid way to serve a court order.

I'd be interested to see if magic works at interplanetary distances. We already know that Earth has a significant arcane field compared to most places. And Paul is extremely well scry-proofed against most arcane tracking attempts. Unless the League has regular contact with the planets OL's said he'll be visiting, it might be difficult to even determine which, if any, of them he's on at any given time. I suppose if the planets had infospheres which could be accessed or hacked into (with mundane cameras or the local equivalent), it might be possible to track him down. Still not exactly easy.

More likely that he'd be tried in abstentia and have a sentence waiting for him if he ever returned to Earth - and even then, only if he both killed Nabu and left traces that the murder (destruction) was done with orange power. If Nabu simply... vanished, the only correlation would be that the Greenies could tell that orange power was used in a certain place at a certain time, and Paul had fled the planet before he could be told "don't leave town". If Paul is very sneaky and lucky, he might be able to hold off using orange power at all in the confrontation, and make it look like Nabu was offed by a Lord of Chaos.
 
that lawsuit

Least, I think lawsuit is the right term. Could be it's one of those odd spelling differences English has between US, British and Australian English.
Thank you, corrected.
Or at least I think he is, I'm not sure if John has helped Timothy Hunter get his letter from Hogwarts yet or not in this timeline.
Yes. Mister Hunter is actually older than most of the team at this point.

You forgot Zatanna, who'll probably become very estranged from the Justice League proper after everything goes down.
 
There's the Justice League (Founding members Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman)...
Then there's the It-Had-To-Be-Done-And-We-Were-Out-Of-Ideas League (Founding members John Constantine, John Constantine's Trenchcoat, Teth Adom, and Jade Nguyen)
Then there's the Something-Similar-Had-To-Be-Done-So-We-Decided-To-Call-In-Apokalips-And-Star-Conquerers-Instead League (Also known as 'The Light')
 
this had to be a wedding cake sized affair. Perfectly within my abilities
This kind of thing is not helping with the whole 'cake man' issue.

it could actually be years before I'm back on Earth.
Why? Even if his Power Rings aren't awesome enough to make a return trip quickly (unlikely unless Green rings are vastly better at FTL travel), he can phone his friends up from anywhere in the universe with little more than a thought.

I recommend publicly executing one of his more dubious business partners. The Reach Ambassador will be around then, right?
Hope not. We are about to have several years of original content. Going back to the canon rails, despite said rails having been ripped apart long ago, would be terribly disappointing.

Plus I think Paul intends to more or less declare war on the Reach after meeting the Controllers.

He can phone Guy from anywhere. Other forms of communication would involve a lag, potentially a substantial one. The 'potentially years' thing comes from the fact that the Controllers might plan on keeping him busy.

The Reach will probably still develop an interest in Earth. Things won't play out in quite the same way of course.

It's more that he assumes that the Controllers will use their Corps to escalate their already-existing war with the Reach.

He plans to have the fight in London and has already talked to several people about it to prepare - they are going to evacuate a few houses, set up forcefields and wards, have medics on standby, police to clear the area and reroute traffic, the works. That he was part of it is going to be rather obvious. The real question is if the other participants will be known.

Just about all of whom he has offered the out of 'We thought he was going to fight Klarion, not Doctor Fate!'
Paul would like it if people decide that Nabu's downfall is just and right and good - due to his body-theft, failure to actually deliver on his promises of being a massively better magical force for good than Zatara (he's better in a direct fight, but the overall effect I would characterize as 'slight to nil, possibly net negative if Paul weren't constantly pushing the non-combat magic that Zatara was handling') and generally being a lying jerk (for, even if he has not lied to magic, to the League, to his hosts, he has lied to the world as Doctor Fate the pure hero, the magical master, the defense against Klarion when in fact he is none of those things...)
Heck, Paul would like it most if he can pin Nabu down, force him onto a golem, and then basically say, "LOOK. YOU HAVE YOUR BODY NOW. STOP STEALING FROM OTHER PEOPLE." or, better, if Nabu shows up and says, "You know, I was thinking about the golem body and after I realized at Diana's insistence that the idea itself isn't inherently chaotic I did some independent research. You are too chaotic for me to work with, but put me in contact with that Sephtian fellow, he seems... passable."

But even if things go very badly, Paul's been setting up so that the worst likely result should still be 'Nabu is off Giovanni's head and research into a compatible golem is ongoing, Giovanni will recover given a year or two of physical and psychological therapy, and Paul's reputation is tanked without harming the reputation of his allies too badly.'

Trench coat inception.
'BWONG'

I don't know if this has been brought up before but since Paul or Grayven will end up with Starfire or Blackfire, and both of them come from a species that descended from a feline race, that Zoat is serious cat person.

From owning a pet cat/tiger to dating what could be considered a catgirl, all who happen to have orange fur/skin.

He's only into cats because he can't easily get ponies.

He'd ditch them in an instant for a pony.

Oh, come on. They're not even 10%.

Grayven has access to a Pony portal.
