I feel like Paul should have been genre savvy enough to predict the peace conference being a scheme to lure Teth Adom away. He did, after all, remark how unlikely it was to serve its actual purpose.

He can't transition from a sealed environment. Also, someone blocking a zeta tube just results in you not going anywhere. Jamming an FTL transition generally kills you.

Oi! The only thing we "fear" about the French is them getting invaded again.
Well, that and female French teens claiming to hear voices.
You forgot "being really particular that tea is brewed wrong, but it must be one particular type of wrong and not any of the others"
I just wanted to say how much I love Conner referring to Wonder Woman as "Mom".
Did Conner tell that Mexican reporter that he is Wonder Woman's son? Did he clarify that he's adopted and not her biological son? Because the tabloids would have a field day talking about WW and Supes having an illicit love child.
I've been meaning to ask, does OL's homeworld having no souls and no magic mean there's no God?
I ask because I finally got around to reading the "Sandman" spin-off series "Lucifer" to see how close the new Fox TV show parallels the source material. Comic-Lucifer's primary goal is to escape predestination and live a life free from God's influence, so he'd be very interested in a Godless realm.
Furthermore, OL has made no attempt to return home. Given his Paragon mortality, OL would be put into a situation where he'd be forced to destroy any means to leave DC-verse rather than risk letting various cosmic horrors find their way to his homeworld (like in "Farscape").
Ophi-Chan: "Why did you give up your heart's greatest desire?"
OL: (sadly) "There's no point in getting what you want if the act of acquiring it destroys the object of your desire." [*needs better wording, I am NOT a poet*]
Proselyte: "You have a noble heart, o' Snake-Charmer."

Yep.
Cause that's when the Nukes fly.
Which really goes to show, the French are both sore losers and still butt-hurt.
Looks like things are kicking off.
That said I still don't see the point of this backstab. Unless Adom is killed he is just going to come back and crush what remains of the 'legitimate' government in retribution.
Might stain his reputation a bit but it is unlikely to have any significant effect.
He is ironically sour about this.
Paul has decided to apply logic rather than genre savvy to this world.
Logically Queen Bee has little chance of gain and massive risks by backstabbing here.
Narratively she is a villain and will backstab because backstabbing is what villains do.

I was rereading some chapters recently and there's something about Kon I was wondering. He was able to be be dannered and grayven was able to fully change him to a kryptonian yet kryptonians can't be dannered due to their soul lacking the upgrade slot.
So:
a) Does Kon have some kind of weird soul that change according to his body.
b) Does he have a dual soul (kryptonian for the kryptonian components, human for the human components).
c) Does having kryptonian components strong nuclear force (or whatever it was called) add something to the soul.
d) It doesn't make sense!

His soul probably is a bit odd-looking, but counts as human for the purposes of the Danner Formula. Either way, only the human bits of his body are affected by the Formula.

Why have I never heard of Mr. Poker before?
(And I don't just mean in this story).
Is the joke that it's more impenetrable British humor? I'm not sure what's really funny about the bank vault link. Also, I'd heard of this guy before... and instantly thought it would be in bad taste in-universe to have an essentially comedic actor go as the British version of an American serial killer.Why have I never heard of Mr. Poker before?

If only Manchester Black was around when that happened, we could have had a permanent solution to the Napier issue.
Man, after I watched "Superman vs the Elite" the first time, I went to check up on Manchester Black and was kinda annoyed they killed him off after his second comic book appearance (where he went full-on crazy villain, I think). That character would have been an interesting one to keep around, and there's multiple ways they could have taken him! Have him actually try to go straight, keep him in the grey side of things...
EDIT: And then when watching B5 years later I found out Manchester Black's actor played Byron on B5, and the true horror that is Byron. I don't think I've seen performances that divergent in quality from an actor in a while...

Yes well, I repeat that's still not proper lupine anatomy. I will excuse it, because now I know that version of Wolf was given Venom Buster, which would of course screw her up, but SHEESH DC, look at the real animal before you draw one!
And it's wolves, by the way.

I like this spider; huzzah indeed!
Replace red with M'gann otherwise it sounds like Wolf is speaking.

Yeah, I don't think you're going to get an answer to that. Zoat knows better than to start a huge flame war by claiming categorically that god either does or does not exist.

I think you're right. I'll change it.
I'm not that diplomatic. Yes, Universe Prime has no gods of any sort. No magic of any sort. Worse, DC style physics warping is immensly difficult, making FTL very hard.
Yeah, some of that campaign was actually funny, I just couldn't get good links to it.
Knight and Squire was the only thing he was in. Worth a look though.Why have I never heard of Mr. Poker before?
I remember a review I read saying that they had to have him pick a fight with Superman, because it was the only way they could make him 'wrong' without having to deal with his actual argument. Don't get me wrong, he's arrogant enough that picking the fight was completely in character, but I agree that it was a waste.
