It would have been awesome if it really was NM.

Why does that sound boring? A clinical breakdown of something interesting just makes it more interesting. Take the S.C.P. Foundation, for instance. I've been looking forward to this list since it was announced. I just hope Zoat is willing to give us profiles on all of the League members.

Just like this fine son of Uncle Sam!
Seriously, though, is there a thread where somebody tries to figure out which of these two would fuck the US harder as President? My money's on Armstrong - his response to being impeached due to pressure from foreign nations would start with him slaughtering the entire Senate and end with him trying to nuke every First World nation on Earth, possibly including America.

I'm sorry Mr Zoat but Paul's speech doesn't quite hang together like I'd expect it to. Up front he told us what he was going to do...
Then he explained the first step, understanding the purpose of the JL. That's a good start.
But then he just jumps into how they rate as individuals and he hasn't told us anything about the grading system at all, except that first step.
What's going on? Paul's better than that.

The grading system is keying off those elements mentioned in the description of the League's duties.
I want to see him start with Batman to make a point. When it comes to assisting in mundane crime, Batman's wonderful. Great analytical methods and resources. Supervillains? Batman's often better off flanking and being devious. Extraterrestrial threats? Leave the direct confrontation to Clark, Bats is better suited to intelligence and logistics. Natural disasters? His resources can definitely help, but he doesn't have, for example, powers that can help calm a volcano.
So he's definitely a valuable member of the team, but in terms of physical ability he doesn't really compare to the others. This means that instead of trying to play to strengths he doesn't have, he sould instead play to those he does have, in terms of investigation, planning, and strategy.
Personally, I loved in JLU how Batman actually got to play detective. Team needs to go tackle some stuff because a villain's holding WW's island hostage? "I have other things to do, you'll manage." Then later "hey, I figured out who this guy is and interrogated his colleague, let's go ransack his office for clues."
Starting off by pointing out how Batman can't outpunch, well, the vast majority of the team, can help soften the blow when evaluating people who *haven't* already come to that conclusion themselves (srs, if OL manages to tell Batman anything about himself he hasn't already taken into account, I'll be shocked).

Thank you, corrected.
No, I think Alva 16 had Trump 16 assassinated.
You'll get some of that.
No, because I don't know several of them well enough and a lot of it wouldn't be relevant to the plot.
He has the goals. Since the League doesn't have any kind of standardised training program, he is now showing how each members helps fulfil those goals.

The ratings scale is implied.
If I understand correctly, and keeping in mind that these aren't, to my knowledge, popular in the US, if they exist at all; these "Top Trumps" cards have some arbitrary statistic on them, and the best at that stat wins when played. For example, bridge-themed decks might focus on the length of the bridge, with the Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge being the winner whenever it's played.
Yes, I googled it. Shut up.
The statistic on the cards Paul's made is presumably a given Leaguer's effectiveness at their stated goal. He's just expecting them (and by proxy us), to be able to follow along on that train of thought.

I know. There's a brilliant bit in Trinity while illustrates that perfectly. When Konvikt first comes to Earth, most of the League heads in to fight him. Batman on the other hand follows his trail back to his spaceship and finds the substance used to keep him unconscious during transit.
No, bridge Top Trumps would probably have length, construction time, cost, traffic, height and times featured in major films.

Actually it probably means they read his mission report.

Sooo, he just made her weakness ten times worse by making her vulnerable to way more symbols than the usual vampire?
Bring back fond memories of TGWP? Or, since we are talking about cliffhangers, whatever the opposite of fond memories are...
Well, if it was a divine curse created by a god, it is an easy way to keep the vermin out of your neighbors' houses so they don't ring you up for an earful.
I was assuming it was a brand of Baseball Card until Zoat explained just now.

Only if they know about it.
So, another reason to kill all missionaries you come across? Firstly so no one else gets sent to Hell, and now to save the vampires!

They likely have to believe you, although I'm certain there are religions that have basic shapes as ritual signs. Triangles and circles especially.

I believe it mentioned that Paul had to explain the religious icon before it affected the Vampire lady.
