Paul knows how to make rings. It just takes him a long time, longer then he's been willing to devote to the task.

I like how a question whose specter has haunted this story for nearly four years was answered without fanfare.
That he even has a lantern at all might be a shock, too.
Keep in mind that Hinon Hee Hannanan (HHH) has effectively been catatonic for the entirety of Paul's run. She's probably expecting a raw recruit, and I expect that she will be quite surprised to find that he's managed to work out a partnership with the Ophidian, and has her in his lantern.

Be neat if there are at least a few Controllers like that among the thirty we know of.
Also there are also a couple hundreds Unaligned Maltusians as well to interact with.

Ah, there's been more than a few times he's used more than 100% of a single ring's charge in a fight. Most recently with the Gnat's constructs. Also while warping a bunch of Tamaranians.
He's going to need to adjust his fighting fighting style a little if he doesn't get the ring back.

That's something I didn't think of.
There's some serious troll potential coming up in the next chapter.

And quite a few in his ears, and he might be able to wear more than one on each finger and some of the toes.He could have one on every toe, and a nose ring.
And to be perfectly honest he could probably put some around some of his bones. There have to be a few places where even if they're all dead it wouldn't hurt him.
And of course that one place Kon, M'gann, and Wally thought he put it when they went to the beach.
@Mr Zoat, this link automatically opened a download for me, which sorta scared the shit out of me at first. Could you please replace it with this?

Oh man.
Oh man. He actually was, all along, working for the Controllers, as far as any investigation save the deep telepathic invasion of Paul's mind would reveal!
Oh, this is great.
I wonder: Why did Paul not keep the Stewart Ring? Really displeased with the possible malware? Or... maybe because the Stewart ring is less his?
Or there is another interesting option - the Stewart Ring has a sort-of-direct-connection to the Guardians. Paul has benefited from that before - but if the Controllers are going to lead a second Corps, they have greater need of it.
It appears that the Controllers are, like the Guardians, kind of rude in person. Not maliciously so, but perhaps carelessly so.

You've got the 21 classic ring slots, then you can probably get past 30 without doubling up on piercing locations or going to extremes - just the one dick piercing, for instance. Adding rings on bones as well as boners just makes things ridiculous. He has a snake! He doesn't need fifty rings! Put them on allies.

Wait, if she crafted the ring, how did she expect its wielder to get by without a Lantern?
And furthermore, how did Paul end up with it immediately upon being brought into Earth-16 (like, instantanously, since he wasn't even woken up by momentary depressurization)?

Mrs. Ben-Gurion's page provided no enlightenment for why she would be used as an image source for a Controller. Neither did a quick Google. I must be missing or overlooking something.
If it's the Paula/Paul thing, then I'm going to roll my eyes.

When dealing with an ancient immortal, it can be difficult to understand their motives.
On the other hand, sometimes they are really easy.
No, keep guessing.

M'crazy.
Clearly this lady was working with every alternate version of herself to give rings to multiple Pauls.
Or the Controller was basically trolling him back. OL was really obviously trying to be impressive; the Controller may have decided to in return act as unimpressed and neutral as possible.
What do you mean without? She dropped him on the second largest concentration of power lanterns in existence. Oa, would have been problematic.
Well that bleed portal generator explains how Paul got grabbed.
I wonder where all the other Pauls and their rings came from then.

She didn't choose him. He was chosen to wield the ring by Mogo, if I'm not mistaken (or at least Mogo was the one to bring the ring to him before he died in space).

This implies the Controllers weren't directly responsible for SI's insertion. But also that the Ring-forger knew someone would appear, but not exactly who or even necessarily how.
But the fact that this question, where his power came from, has now been acknowledged, now brings attention to the other big question about his origin. The question most SI fics ignore completely. The first question. Hidden in plain sight.
If the Controllers didn't insert the SI... Who did?
