Brian is awesome. "Why do so many metas advertise their powers in their names? If I had the power to walk through walls, I'd call myself Concrete-Man."

About the part about steel not being bendy :
Actually, steel can bend pretty well. That's why it's better than cast-iron for making swords, and why it's used to make springs.
If you want to talk about stuff that don't bend well, glass so the stuff you want to talk about. Thing is terrible at it (and break when you try too hard to bend it).

Nope. You can bend glass if you heat it. That's how a lot of glass junk is made.
As in, the Magic of Consensus, and/or Oneiromancy, the manipulation and divination through use and understanding of Dreams?
At any rate, perhaps Paul should take up lucid dreaming as a practice.
I'm sure he'd enjoy the chance to copy down everything he can from a library that has every book that has ever been imagined--even if that book was never published or even written!
Books like:
It's so nice that even you can't technically bring your power-ring into the Dreaming, one can still make use of it if it's still worn by it's wielder, recording EVERYTHING that's being experienced!
LUCIEN: At the very LEAST, Illustres, I would appreciate it if you were to write in the forms for a library card before copying down the entire contents of mortalkinds unwritten literature.
PAUL: Sure, sure... I wouldn't have to worry about copyright infringement for printing some of the books here, would I?
LUCIEN: I'm afraid I wouldn't know. Imagination has no limitations, you see. Something as arbitrary as mortal law matters very little to those of us who know and understand that all ideas and concepts belong to the MANY and the ALL, rather than the FEW and the ONE... At any rate, I'm sure Master Shakespeare would have greatly appreciated it if Prospero, The Magi Returnth were to be shared with the world.

I was speaking of room temperature materials. Cooling and heating stuff change their plasticity (usually cold stuff is fragile, hot stuff is malleable, with variations depending of which material we're talking about).

Skepsimancer, literally thought-wizard. That's basically what such a mage would be, turning ideas into reality and back.
Someone liked that part and paid to have it guilded.

You're generally correct, inasmuch as people who see themselves as victims tend to oppose capitalism while people who see themselves as agents tend to support it. And I was specifically talking about the orange light BECAUSE wielding it grants you the power necessary to be an agent, and when power is coupled with self-interest then we agree that the result is capitalist by default.
However, I think you might have an excessively narrow definition of capitalism. Capitalism is better from a self-interested perspective if you have the power to self-actualize your desires; comparison to other individuals isn't really relevant.
No, that's still horrifying. Dorians are from Greece. Durians are the stinky-but-tasty fruit.

No, only in Vertigo. In New Earth get their powers from the Source (via the Godwave), the same as mystics, green lanterns, kryptonians, and metahumans.
Greek Gods are older than the legends in mainstream DC.
Ares is Wonder Woman's grandfather, because Ares is Hippolyta's father, but...
Hippolyta is the reincarnation of the first woman murdered by a man. She was a cavewoman, which means she's about as old as Vandal Savage.
The Greek Gods saw fit to give her a new look when they reincarnated her by putting her soul in a clay statue. But oddly they didn't do the same for Magala, so she was stuck looking like a cavewoman.
Anyway, that discussion about the reliance on volunteer superheroes reminded me of a Robin storyline I remembered, so I did a little research.
There was a Robin storyline in which the US Army tried to recruit Robin.
The Veteran, an immortal and invulnerable supersoldier who, rumour has it, has fought in every war the US has ever engaged in, has the rank of General. He was given his own mandate to take care of supernatural and superhuman threats around the world, so he has a division or task force or whatever, including GI Robot.
The Veteran felt that Robin's training by Batman would make him an excellent member of his team. Robin asked why he wasn't pitching to Batman, and the Veteran explained "Oh, you're right, he would have very useful skills, I'm sure, but he's more of a Chief than an Indian, and since I've already got the job of giving orders, I'm hoping you'd be interested."

So, since the fruit is of a tree that wasn't grown from a seed, I'm assuming that they can't just grow more trees of the knowledge of good and evil using the fruit's seeds they have on hand.
Not sure what you'd do with more though. It would depend upon if Blaze is a special case demon wise or if they can just make Knowledge of Good and Evil Aerosol as an anti-demon weapon.

You would think someone as well versed in the mystic arts as Magala would have just done some magical cosmetic surgery to fix her look.
Feed at least one to Diana of Themyscira, and one to each Emotional Spectrum Entity.

Perhaps the immortality affect the Olympians blessed the Amazons with would interfere.

That first bit seems iffy depending on what knowledge exactly the tree gives, and whatever additional effects it would have.
The second bit seems like it could be a great way to accidentally ruin the universe. Again, depending on what exactly the fruit does/how powerful it is.

Made no difference to me. Do whichever is easier for you.
Oh. One of.. these.
Thank you, corrected.
Nope.
Thank you, corrected.
You know what? I think I'm going to stop doing that.
Thank you, corrected.
The main difference is that while Nabu is constantly acting on the world, the Silver City appears to not be. Despite significant demonic activity. If it was chaos doing something like that Nabu and Co would be all over that. This suggests that either they're pretty hands off or they simply don't care.
Good data on the Silver City is pretty much non-existent and the SI's contacts don't have much information. If they do choose to make an issue out of it, there are two basic options. Firstly, their irritation is proportionate. In that case the SI simply pays the fine or does the penance. The second is that their irritation is disproportionate. In that case they're another bunch of supervillains, and he knows how to kill those.
Thank you, corrected.
Actually altering the natural form of a living thing -as opposed to just throwing up a glamour and calling it a day- is rather hard.You would think someone as well versed in the mystic arts as Magala would have just done some magical cosmetic surgery to fix her look.

Actually, I've been looking for a small project like this. It should be relatively simple to write a script to look through a word document, find all instances of "human ", "demon ", "dog " or things like that and capitalize it. Don't think it would even require regex if it's simple enough. I'll look into it.

On a Word document, sure. The 'replace' function will do that. It's transferring that to posts here that would be a fag (UK).
