I just realized that just as Paul estranged himself from allies by leaving, Grayven's done the same with Manchester Black and his group. That group being Black, his sister, and the old guy that seemingly reached anger enlightenment. Basically they're going to think that Grayven is done with any plans to remove corruption in England's government. Black isn't the most rational of fellows so he'll be part of some villainous group that offered to help him. Grayven's attack against The Light certainly wasn't "The Dawn of a New Age, Free from the tyranny of Supervillains!"
I wonder how badly eliminating them will turn out.
Doubtful. Paul has/will be gone for months on end, without even attempting to contact those he left behind.
Greyven will most likely continue to operate out of his mountain lair, supervising the England operation in his spare time.

The joys of instant transport at universal range.

He did already reassure them on that score, and there will be progress on that score in a few epsiodes time. They're on a long term assignment and he's about five seconds away by hush tube.
 
Just don't make OL do it with an orange boxing glove construct, it'd be embarrassing if Lantern Jordan finds out.
A novice Lantern was trying to defeat a Psion by punching him in the face to little effect.

Lantern Paul, seeing what the novice was doing, spoke sternly: "You cannot solve all your problems by just punching them without a plan."

Lantern Paul punched the Psion.

The Psion fell.

That's approximately 10-20 million dollars worth of cows.

What.
The comic version of Wanted is somewhat dissimilar to the film. The Fraternity have more than enough resources to spend that on the training of the Professor's new inductee. Plus, it's not like they can't sell them afterwards.
 
As part of his dehumanisation training he had to kill and butcher calves for two weeks.

does he have super speed or something? slaughtering 610 animals a day is kind of a lot just from a time investment perspective, especially if he was spending hours working and getting beat up and presumably recovering from getting beat up.

But... "it" refers to "ways to prevent Lantern FTL", which is clearly plural?
Modified.

I'd guess that they only started beating him up after that. Or they used super technology to cut down his recovery time.

Okay, in that situation boxing gloves are not... completely unreasonable. Shock crowns would be better, but if you need to take out a hundred baseline humans at once, a hundred boxing gloves works, and Greenies don't take to complex constructs as easily so its excusable.

On the other hand, if you use boxing gloves and/or fists against other lanterns, you are a complete idiot.

And if they start punching you back, they're also a idiot.

I guess, but still assuming he needs to do other things that day it's going to take a while. even 30 seconds an animal means he's spending 5 hours a day killing things. That's a fairly significant chunk of time, especially if he's doing super intense training. Assuming he's getting enough sleep to actually do the training he's likely only got 16 hours in a day, so he's spending almost a third of his crunch training time working half shifts in a high efficiency slaughterhouse. then again, supervillain fucking up a training regime with something pointlessly gruesome would fit.

If you assume he DIDN'T need to do other things beyond short meal and bathroom breaks, then he can spend 90 seconds each, and part of the point of this training was to make him brutally efficient at the task. If he's not doing it thoughtlessly mechanically then it's not working.

Also they might have been depriving him of sleep to an extent on purpose -- enough to function, not enough to completely mentally regenerate, so that he doesn't have the presence of mind to cope with what he's being put through.
