I wonder if the next iteration of the godkiller will have multiple warheads. Since this deployment show that a single warhead provides a single point of failure against targets that have an accurate enough ranged attack.

Nah, they would probably just switch to orbital weapon satellites like this one.

One thing the DCAU sure does better then the Young Justice universe is integrating and exploiting their supertech. Judging by Kara's age it probably hasn't even been 10 years since the start of Superman: the Animated Series and the end of Justice League Unlimited and just look how far pretty much everyone has come in that time period techwise. Heck just look at the Batman Beyond and The Zeta Project era. It's only around 20 years post JLU and there is supertech everywhere. Compare that to Young Justice where it's been around a century since the start of the Super Hero era and supertech still remains solely in the hands of the supers.

I'm curious is his Garrick resistance a short term resistance just for when he spams doses in a limited time-span or is he actively getting more and more immune to it's effects?
Might need to figure out a new accelerated perception/superspeed method if he renders the formula useless on himself.

His absolute resistance is most likely growing, but his specific resistance to the Garrick formula might not be.

Edit: Ninja'd. Eventually he'll need a different super speed ability.

He can probably use accelerated perception. I don't think he has the immunity that Paul does, but he does have his godly healing to deal with the mild inconvenience of having his brain explode.

...

Okay, it might be more difficult than I expected.

I'm wondering what Paul would think of Deus's view on greed/avarice.

Look at the author commentary:

I actually had a lot more written for Deus's pitch about greed, but a few examples is really all you need to get his point. It's actually pretty easy to spin almost any attribute as an aspect of greed. Rage, love, hope, they mostly have to do with either wanting something or having something taken away. Sloth is a bit harder as is Vanity and Humility, but Deus can get there. It just takes a little more twisting. You can play along at home!

It's basically what OL has been doing to get his avarice-focused power to work for things like helping people. He can't do compassionate things through compassion or his ring won't work, so he has to recast them in "greedy" terms.

She keeps a running tally of Paul's pros and cons so he doesn't fall into the Sue factor.

"Two power rings? You can't have two power rings!"
"Sidney there is noth-"
"Not happening, come on Paul lets get you addicted to drugs in order to balance this out."

No, I do want him to die, because I want to watch him crawl his way out of the afterlife and come back even more badass, like Kratos or Asura.

Or he can get a new ring. Imagine that, Grayven with Orange, Yellow, and Black power rings. Extra badass.
Though the ring-made outfit (or whatever they are officialy called) would look pretty weird, I imagine.

And now I'm imagining a lantern trying to collect all nine. Gotta catch em all...

Okay Zoat, is there a Paul in Grrl Power and how hilarious was Sydney's reaction to the existence of a real life Orange Lantern.

I have not given the matter any significant thought. I don't think sending SIs to places where they can't do anything interesting (no way to recharge and not enough meta knowledge) serves any purpose.

It's a valid play style.

Dabbler might be able to whip something up for a recharge. Or more amusingly, she could pull out an actual Lantern that she looted from "some lunatic with a ring. I've never been able to do anything with it though."

From a storywise viewpoint though the problem with an SI is that the narrative position for one is already taken by Sydney. She's the Genre-Savvy Outsider with an Outside Context Powerset on the team.

"Godkiller?" If that was the government's idea of a godkiller someone got snowed, Kanto, Darkseid's personal assassin, apparently does just fine with a sword. :)

Grayven interacting with Kanto would be interesting, considering Kanto's affection for renaissance Italy.

Hmf those peons don't know anything about killing gods, I could teach them a thing or two.
