That's ominous, given Thanagarian Imperial proclivities.
Then again, failing to keep a precautionary eye on the shenanigans in Sol System would be stupid.
And Thanagarians aren't stupid.

Of course, sticking your todger into a star system with a Martian population and at least 3 Green Lanterns is very delicate business.
Wonder what Thanagarian Intelligence , or all the other intelligence agencies keeping an eye on a nexus of Lantern activity, thought when Klarion went ham on the time-space continuum.
Well... Earth 16 Thanagarians apparently aren't.

Thanagarians of certain other continuities though... Ugh.

Build the god-damned hyperspace bypass in deep space outside of a solar system for fucks sake. It will be a total bitch for the Gordanians to find without the exact co-ordinates and won't kill anyone innocent as a side-effect!
 
Recruiting dozens of people and giving them the Garrick Formula might make it viable
For the future Reach invasion that Impulse is from, it'd be cool if use of the Danner and Garrick formulas became relatively commonplace in the human resistance movement to better combat the Reach and minimize casualties.

And if Impulse's father married a woman with Danner super-strength, or if the resistance movement developed a hybrid Danner-Garrick like Cobra's Venom-Blockbuster, Impulse could be a 'lightning bruiser' instead of just another speedster.

"A speedster with super-strength? That'd be like..."
"Superman minus the flight and heat vision? We already have one of those, his name is Conner Kent."
o_O "...you just blew my mind..."

Link: Flash Hulk
"Not sure Iris would be too keen on that."
Fun fact: in the 2015 live-action "Flash" TV series, Iris is played by a black woman.

Possible scene:
Black-Iris: "It's nice to finally met you."
OL: o_O (staring)
Black-Iris: "What? Is there something on my face?"
OL: (lying) "Sorry, Flash failed to mention how beautiful you are."
Black-Iris: "Oh my, what a little charmer."
[later]
Flash: "Okay, what was the real reason you were staring at my girl?"
OL: (lying through misdirection) "How the bloody hell did you score a woman so far out of your league? I don't know whether to give you a high-five or a punch to the face."
Flash: (smugness) :ogles: "The ladies love a man with a good sense of humor."

=
FYI, there was a crack one-shot about the "Harry Potter" play having a black woman as Hermione Granger, and Harry asks Ron "how long has Hermione decided to be black?" or something along those lines.

Harry: "Ron, people don't spontaneously change ethnic groups like Doctor Who!"
Ron: "So what? It's not like skin color matters."
Harry: o_O ???

It's with these kind of chapters that I wish we sometimes had interludes, I'd be pretty interested in knowing what some of the league members are thinking right now.

Batman: "This was good. This was a good idea."

Superman: "Don't mention Superboy, please don't mention Superboy."

Nabu: "Ugh, chaos."

The Green Lanters just don't know how to feel about this, I imagine. And Wonder Woman would probably just feel pride? I guess?

The real reason Nabu is being more of an asshole than usual.

[meanwhile on the Astral Plane]
Giovanni: (singing) "I am King Henry the Eight, I am, I am~!!!"
Nabu: "SHUT UP!!!"
Giovanni: (singing) "Never gonna give you up! Never gonna let you down! Never gonna run around and desert you~!"
Nabu: :rage: :rage: :rage:

Zatanna: "Damn, this practically a mercy-kill."

 
No one's stopping you. The worst we can do is point and laugh.
My fragile ego couldn't possibly take it! Though more seriously the main issue is that I don't actually know what a lot of them think of OL. I could probably write something almost sensible with Jordan if you though. Batman or supes would probably also be doable, though with Batman it's a bit hard to see what he'd think on the whole matter and supes personality is a bit unclear in YJ.
 
Or just promoted at all. It's weird how in so many works - not just comics - a character with a particular rank will just stay at that rank indefinitely. It makes it stand out when someone is in fact actually promoted.

You'd think that someone who saves their country/civilization/the world/the galaxy every few episodes would get promoted for it, but apparently not.

He was promoted in comics canon, but opted to keep his name (Captain Atom). It happened in his 1980s run.
 
Now, now, he implied it was the worst that could be done within the limits of the rules of the forum. I'm... pretty sure we're not allowed to murder our fellow posters. That's probably automatic permaban material.
This raises a very important question.

Should you be banned from a forum for committing murder? Like, say a guy kills someone, and the guy is a well-known member of a forum like sufficientvelocity or spacebattles. Should he be banned from it? If so, why? Is there something in the rules against committing murder? I have a hard time believing there is.

Does it at all change if the person murdered was also a member of the forum?

These are very important questions that need answers.

Well it's not as if he'll get to post when in prison anyway...

Mods: "Zoat, I know murder isn't officially against the rules, but we've decided it is borderline behavior and have given you an infraction for it. It just so happens that this puts your infraction points up to the level of a temporary suspension, even though the behavior isn't enough for a suspension by itself."

Zoat: "You kidding me with this shit? Fine, I'm taking my story to QQ!"

Zoat: "You kidding me with this shit? Fine, I'm taking my story to QQ!"

Kinda begs the question: if murder builds up infraction points, how does @Jamie Roberts manage to not be permanently suspended? :V
 
There is another possibility, were Nabu pushed further. That is, "I WILL NOT LISTEN TO THE RAVINGS OF A CHAOS WORSHIPER ANY LONGER!" Followed by teleporting away and effectively leaving the League. If Nabu decides he has little to gain from being a League member, and starts acting ENTIRELY on his own volition? Could be bad. Further, it makes him much harder to access (and trap in London when needed), hampering the current plan to kill him. Depending on what desires OL saw, it could be very unwise to continue to push in unproductive directions.

I dunno. Ragequitting isn't exactly orderly. I'd expect him to request that Paul's superiors censure him somehow.

Pretty sure there are rules against committing IRL crimes. Or atleast admitting to having broken laws while on SV. I know a guy for banned for it before.

@Mr Zoat, story only typos here:
Scans of gravity distortions suggest that flights systems are spread throughout-
"flight"


Here:
The shell gives off an nasty burst of radiation but fails to go critical if damaged.
"a"

I link construct chains to the parts of the claw still outside the chassis and lift, wrenching if off the ground and into the sky.
"it"


Here:
Donna nods. "It ends up getting uses as plant fertilizer."
"used"


And here:

Ms Lanes rapidly switches her attention between us as she tries to get the Kal-El/Lex picture out of her head.
"Lane"

Eh, It's implied pretty heavily that a proper host (not Wally) merges with Nabu on some level while they're Dr Fate. Giovanni would only be annoying himself.

Which of course implies it's not only Nabu that's pissed at OL. Maybe they found out about Zatanna's crush?
 
Well... Earth 16 Thanagarians apparently aren't.

Thanagarians of certain other continuities though... Ugh.

At least in this story it seems to need to be used in a solar system. And apparently there's so many inhabiited ones that choosing lifeless ones isn't an option. Or at least that's the implication I see of Grayven equating three other systems being destroyed to two other inhabited systems.

"And Hro wants to kill everyone on Earth so our fleet can kill everyone on their homeworld."

"Not just Earth. The distance is too great. Father Box thinks they'd need to destroy at least three more systems in succession to make this work. Probably more. And then.. it's a pyrrhic victory at best. The Thangarian fleet still can't stop the Gordanian fleet attacking Thanagar. In fact it would be even more out of position, and I don't see the Gordanians limiting themselves to occupation if they know that their world was subjected to exterminatus. They'd kill everyone in revenge and spend the rest of their lives hunting down every Thanagarian in existence."

"So the only way I can help my people.. is to help the Gordanians win the war."

I lay my right hand on her left shoulder. "For what it's worth, I'm sorry. Maybe you should try thinking of it as saving the lives of everyone on Earth, the Gordanian homeworld, Thanagar and.. probably about two other inhabited systems. Billions of people not dying."

I interpreted that as listing the number of inhabited systems that would be affected, and that nobody's bothering to count the ones that aren't inhabited any more than people would complain about building a highway through a desert.
 
Something to consider. Remember what Truggs said happened after The Reach finished having its way with Earth.

Earth basically became a vassal state under them.
