I am all for canon, but good.
The entire Green Lantern Corps comes to mind, thanks to their environmental shield.
It's not stable at room temperature, so the FOOF should burn/explode enthusiastically even if the Nth metal can ignore it entirely. And unless the Thanagarans were wearing sealed, full body suits of Nth metal I doubt it would protect them from something like this, anyway.

The context of the original question implied full body armor as opposed to, for the sake of example, post-scarcity pajamas.

So... Truggs, then?
So does Grayven plan to leave the Thanagarian carrier with the Justice Lords or bring it back to the Renegade-verse?
If he does bring it back to the Renegade-verse, such a massive power-up would disrupt the tone and pacing of Grayven's gradual industrialization of Earth into a spacefairing society. Perhaps "the Zoat" could copy "Macross" a.k.a. "Robotech" and have a flawed dimensional shift cause the Thanagarian carrier to crash land like the SFD-1 (Super Dimension Fortress One), requiring weeks or months (not years) of repairwork before its spaceworthy again. Not only would repairing the Thanagarian carrier give humanity the work experience needed to advice their scientific community, but it'd give Grayven the opportunity to modify it to fit "his standards", i.e. turn it into an impenetrable death-trap like something out of Warhammer40k.

Question: How "over-dependant" are Thanagarians are on Nth metal? Like Naquada (Stargate) or Eezo (Mass Effect)? Not having a large-scale supply of Nth metal might would likely force Grayven or the Justice Lords to replace many of the carrier's systems with alternatives are easier to replace and repair. It's counter-productive to have a super badass starship that requires rare or expensive components (see "Outlaw Star").

Depending on how large the dimensional portal thingy can make the portal and also if Grayven cares enough to bring it over. Also while Grayven and OL both are the type to pick up tech, Grayven's thing is more trans-humanism than technolgical uplift.

You hear that, birdies?! Burn, and die for Grayven!
I wonder what is going on on his Earth. (idk what number it is) It's a good chunk of time he's here already. Someone surely noticed?

He hasn't decided.
It doesn't consume Nth Metal, but a lot of systems require it to function properly. Replacement parts would become an issue eventually, but Grayven has access to Apokoliptiam designs and so could probably work around it without too much difficulty.

Probably, at one time the rings had no power usage limit, just a timer- 24 hours of use.
So a lantern who just cooled his beer would run out of energy at the same time as the lantern who was playing a giant game of pool with planets.
If memory serves, the original oan rings tapped into the Guardian's natural reserve of green energy and so never ran out of power as long as a guardian was wearing it.
With options ranging from "unlimited as long as the wielder still has energy" to "essentially infinite energy expenditure within a 24 hour time limit" and "energy drains with use" I suspect rings don't even need to run out of energy at all, that it's simply a safety measure.
Someone gets a ring, well then they get to enjoy it until it runs out of energy and becomes costume jewelry.
nah, he's just using the same equipment Original Zoat used. He also averaged 10 days ahead.

I imagine that Zoat will say that rings do in fact need to be recharged, as running out of charge and having to conserve energy is one of the only weaknesses that Lanterns have, so removing it would make them even more overpowered than they normally are. Imagine OL with as much subspace storage as he wanted (with a ring powered by avarice), unlimited energy pulses, particle beams, phased particle beams, lasers, railguns, crumblers, freeze rays, chemical mayhem, etc etc etc. Having enemies be an actual challenge to OL without serious jobbing would be even more challenging than it already is.
Let us hope it doesn't become Flying, Burning, Toxic-Gas-Spewing Space Metal!

Oh shut up.
This is amusing because if he was human he would be fine.
True. It's his New Godliness that makes him vulnerable to radion; humans are no more vulnerable to it than they are to kryptonite.

Doesn't kryptonite kinda gives cancer in large doses?

Yes, but no more so than any other radioactive material. Humans don't have any special vulnerability to it like Superman does. Similarly, while a New God shot with a radion bullet is done for no matter where they get hit, a human shot with a radion bullet is no more harmed than with an ordinary bullet, and can recover from it normally if the shot wasn't fatal.

I think it's a chronic thing, so if you keep it with you for a very long time you eventually get cancer.
Although if the intent is to give a human cancer, there are vastly easier ways to go about it.
Well, he still would have had a hole in his torso. Maybe not fine, but generally okay with his power ring.This is amusing because if he was human he would be fine.

After decades of exposure in some settings.
In others it gives superpowers.
Actually, in comic book universes, it can be hard to give a human cancer. an amazingly large percentage end up developing super powers instead.

No, if he were Human that blast would have disintegrated his chest and split him in two. Radion blaster.This is amusing because if he was human he would be fine.
Not necessarily in this story. Sinestro-ring stated exactly what radion does here.

Radiation seems to give super powers more often than not, but I think chemical carcinogens should work fine.Actually, in comic book universes, it can be hard to give a human cancer. an amazingly large percentage end up developing super powers instead.

Ifit isn't huge/important spoilers, what will Paragon be doing in his snippets next episode, and any hints as to what the episode after that will be about?
