You can't see it but I am giving you such a glare at this moment Mister Zoat. :lol

He met her off-screen, it was mentioned during a conversation with Superman after Paul gave a presentation to the League. She promised to hunt Paul down if he ever told anyone about her.

The AI doesn't seem to have 'emotional resonance', that would mean no moral... quandaries? regarding the usurpation of his programming. So, if the confrontation isn't too difficult why... 'scrap it'?
And personally, my anticipation for Grayven's Magical Journey to Equestria has increased. Even though I'm no fan of ponies, the segment with Old Orange Ilustres just walking as a Pony was so droll it has left me with a satisfying impression. Just picturing Grayven doing the "Middle finger, middle finger, middle toe, middle toe." is extremely amusing.

Clones were used as spare parts until the Black Zero uprising. In one continuity, it was a black zero bomb left from the war that destroyed krypton.
There is an evil adult Superboy named Black Zero who uses his Cadmus resources to conquer Earth after Earth in the name of DNAlien (what genomorphs are called in the comics) rights.
Not that it matters, Kon is not a clone, clones only have one progenitor by definition.
In fact in some continuities all kryptonian are produced by genetic engineering. Jor-El and Lara might not have have ever consummated their marriage in those continuities.
It's the being part alien that might be an issue here.
Kon is not a chimera here, he is a hybrid.
He is a pseudo chimera because humans and kryptonians not being physiologically identical, some parts of him take after one side or the other, but every cell of his body has kryptonian, human, and genomorph DNA here.

One would think a smarter setup would be that in a wide scale breakdown of order or mass catastrophe, The Lantern prohibition would be waived entirely until such time as it is safe to reinstate it. To facilitate disaster relief and the care of refugees. This is like the Captain of a ship has automated turrets set to repel any unauthorized boarders as pirates, even when the ship is sinking. Or in this case, sunk, with the descendents attempting salvage operations.
I thought that had become blatantly obvious when the planet they were ruling exploded, and the statistical entirety of those under their dominion went extinct with it. And those that survived were only able to do so by defying the edicts of the ruling council. I don't really think anyone really deserves Hell, but they managed to out genocide Hitler while patting themselves on the back and sleeping the sleep of the righteous. If you ever thought Jim Jones, David Koresh, and Marshall Applewhite are monsters, The members of the Science Council are so, so much worse.

A plate full of blins and a cat nearby.
I find myself wondering if the cliffhanger here is a fakeout and the Eradicator is actually using a reconstruction beam to "fix" Kon up to standard Kryptonian status, given the reasons already mentioned to interpret his status as hack-job repairs rather than cloning.

Grayven would just have branded him or made him a construct.
That's why Superman Animated had AI Brainac dupe the council. Because yes in the comics they were that big of a group of idiots.

We're not that lucky, Roadie.
The same Grayven who, since his exposure to Anti-Life and its similarity to assimilation, has pointedly avoided assimilating anyone? That Grayven?

The other 1,023 units you cannot see currently waiting in standby inside the instillation coming active and going apeshit on you?
Could be a Zoat fake out, and it is just trying to biopsy a sample to determine his relation if any to registered members of House El.
Citation of the relevant passage? Because from what I vaguely remember it was more like Krypton skin with the power generating organelles, mostly human internals, and genomorth stuck between the two to make the something that by all rights shouldn't work viable?

Of course DC forgot it after the fact, but it was once established that Kryptonians couldn't be saved.
The Eradicator, trying to force Krypton to live by the crazy racist Kem-L's standards, altered the DNA of all kryptonians so that they literally could not survive anywhere else but Krypton.
Jor-El genetically altering Kal-El was the only reason he survived.
So that is why the Science Council did squat, and why Jor-El and Lara didn't come along, they weren't going to out live their planet anyway.
Of course DC forgot that probably 5 minutes after it was established.
Odd, I don't recall Paul ever hunting her down. Also very strange that he would have gone Kryptonian seeking without Kon in tow.
Meh, it was clearly going in that direction.
On the bright side: free robot to dissect, reverse engineer and repurpose.
Considering his power and personality I could see him ending up as anything from this to this.
From its behavior the people who designed it didn't want the thing to be very smart or flexible. And because of that, they probably didn't want to give it that kind of latitude, since a dumb but flexible AI can be talked into doing all sorts of things you don't want it to be.
It likely doesn't have enough emotional presence to be branded or assimilated.

Mea culpa, I misremembered that conversation in '15- With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Eleven) | Page 1677.
So yes, chimera.

It happened offscreen sometime before he did the Justice League peformance review. It probably got skipped over because it wasn't meaningfully different to when Grayven met her.

No, that's fine, we could use 1,022 extra construct lanterns.
Why leave the 1,023rd alive?
As a warning to anything else.

Well Krypton wasn't destroyed by a Super Intelligent AI that was making Paperclips, nor has any surviving Kryptonian AI gone on a quest to turn the universe into Paperclips. So they did something right. As not making a Paperclip Maximiser might be easier in comic books, but with how many times AI's go wrong in comics, it's not an outright impossibility. So we must at least give them that as an achievement.

Maybe branding would work since is basically brute forcing stuff, is fast and Oh El is basically a greed Demi God already.

Branding hijacks the target's desires and redirects them. I'm not sure it works if the target doesn't already have desires to subvert.

I'm betting on this just being part of the scan.
