Taylor is DOOMed

I think it is Danny with the Blazkowicz DNA and Annette some how has DNA from the Doom Guy in her backgound.

Uh, Doom Guy is a Blazkowicz... full stop. He's a direct decendent of B.J. From Danny's comments, it's implied that one of Danny's parents was Commander Keen (son or grandson of B.J.). It further got implied that Annette also came from a family with a "Action Hero" lineage. Hunting nazi is considered a family bonding experience, and Danny was entirely unsurprised at Taylor's trip to a (hopefully) alternate future and having to fight her way through hell to get back. In fact, I think he mentions that such "action hero" trips are kind of a family tradition.
 
Er, I don't think it was. Just went over the Medhall assault. Fun chapter, btw. And that wasn't mentioned at any point in time. There also wasn't any popcorn involved on the PRT's behalf.

EDIT: The closest in-story I can find to mentioning Taylor's family history is Danny mentioning that unexpected Action Hero trips and killing nazi are family traditions. Annette's mentioned as having enjoyed the Medhall assault, and Danny mentioned she'd have already been inside and killing nazi.

Oh, and in the Boom of Doom sidestory/omake Danny implies that Annette's related to Duke Nukeum.

I was the one theorizing that Annette was one of the Terror Twins while Danny is in fact the Slayer.
Unlike the ending of TAG part 2, Slayer!Danny isn't sealed away, but instead winds up on Earth Bet while brought down to normal, letting him finally have a somewhat peaceful life.

Though if this is true and Taylor is a Blaskowitz from two separate bloodlines, I think after that discovery Emily will tell Max that all things considered, he may have gotten off light. If it turns out the Empire or their pay-masters in Europe had a hand in the death of Annette Hebert nee Blaskowitz, then I think she will show Kaiser some mercy and just lock him in a room with a loaded gun so he do the honorable thing. Solely for the reason that Director Piggot doesn't want Taylor to rip the Rig or the PRT building a new asshole getting to Kaiser before doing the same to Gelischaft in Europe.
 
Danny could be a linage from the prime Blaskowitz time line where he killed Hitler and got married after the war (possible to Caroline Becker), where they had children that birthed Commander Keen (maybe Danny's cousin). Not sure how the mechanic would work behind Danny being related to the off shoot universe where the Nazi's won world war two...possible due to Keen's arch enemy Mortimer McMire going back in time to make sure Keen never existed. That or one of the writers for New Order read a lot of Harry Turtledove Novels and REALLY liked Inglorious B...

The Bitches Three are on HER list, quite close to the top. And the demons know better than getting in the way of HER fun/revenge.
So no, I don't think that the demons will bother The Bitches Three in their cells.

Taylor has become an embodiment of rage, hasn't she? I wonder how she would handle a red power ring and/or the Butcher.

Hmmm... to tag or not to tag @mp3.1415player to give him an idea for another omake series? :beardscratch:

A late comment, but I was rereading the thread for fun...

I think, I really do, that a red ring would actually be a step or two downgrade. In fact, I'd lay money on odds that a Red Lantern could probably recharge off of Taylor like she was the central battery...

Edit:
Just had the image of Atrocitus kneeling and bowing alongside Wayne and Garth while shouting "We're not worthy!":rofl::lol::p

I'm pretty sure that the Red central power battery would go super nova as soon as DOOM!Taylor entered the Justice League verse. Many of the more sensitive of the Guardians would probably have heart attacks along with quite a few of the other demi-gods of that verse. Would be kind of fun to see what the actual gods thought though. Also would be fun to see various Justice league hero and villain reactions.
 
Speaking of the various Lantern Corps, I'm pretty sure this Taylor doesn't just have a nigh-endless well of RAGE. Idunno about the others, but she has pretty fucking deep reserves of Will too, and maybe even Hope, seen as we never saw mention of her giving up on the concept of finding her way back home. Which could legitimately just be Rage, humanity is capable of acheiving great things through spite after all, but could equally be Will, and has a decent chance of being Hope as well.

She never gave up.

Not even temporarily, for a few lives, which in her situation would have been more than understandable.

She kept working the problem.

She survived.

And she triumphed.

I don't know how many of you have been in situations that seem honestly hopeless for extended periods, but neither Rage nor Will alone will sustain you forever. At some point, whichever you are relying on will falter, and you will need fallbacks. Whether the fallback is Will from Rage, Rage from Will, or Hope from either of them. Hell, even Greed will suffice, if properly channelled. If you only have one source of power driving you on when all seems lost, no matter what it is, then when it falters for even a moment, if you don't have a backup you can rely on, you can go to an ugly, ugly place. Rage was her primary, yes. But if you doubt she would qualify as at least a member of the Green Corps as well as the Red, all I can say is in my experience not even an endless supply of one will sustain you forever, because the resource may be there but you become unable to draw on it, through exhaustion if nothing else.

Uh, isn't yellow the primary colour instead of green? B+Y=G? Unless you meant primary colours for the pixels that make up electronic screens...

The Lantern Corps are light after all, and RGB as the base building blocks of every other colour when painting with light. RBY is only for when doing things with pigments such as paints, or the chemicals that form colours in animal hide or clothes. RGB are the real building blocks of what humans rather laughably call the 'visible' spectrum, a name that isn't even true for all mammals on this rather small world, let alone the other animal kingdoms, or beyond this planet's atmosphere. Computer screens do everything with RGB because they are using light, not pigments. And so are the various Lantern Corps - it's even in their mottos, after all.

There's additive and subtractive colors. RYB is subtractive, mix them you get black, not white. RGB is additive, you mix them you get white, not black. That's why computer monitors use red, green and blue pixels to make up your screen, because if you mix red, green and blue light, you get White. If you add Red and Green light, you get Yellow due to the way our eyes see color. add more red than green, and you get orange. In order to get indigo and violet, you have to start adding Red to Blue, and toning down the amount of Blue in the mix. Which makes Purple a wierd color that you can't find on the electromagnetic spectrum anywhere, because it's a mixture of the top and the bottom of the range of visible light. ^^

I see what you did there. ^.^
 
It has been mentioned in DC comics that having a strong will isn't enough to use a Green Lantern Ring; they need a "Pure" will to do so, which is why Green Arrow can't use a ring despite having a strong will.

The Doom Queen has pure RAGE, but may not qualify for any of the other rings. That said, being able to focus her RAGE does imply she can use a Green Ring as well.

Blue Lanterns, like Yellow ones, are chosen for their ability in inspire Hope instead of possessing it. So, not likely to Blue, but probably yes to Yellow.

Well... depending on how far up her shitlist the Endbringers catapult themselves next attack, she might end up doing that, even if it's not her primary 'inspiration' emotion. After all, both Blazko and Doom Slayer inspire hope in those they assist, even if the fear they cause in their enemies is perhaps more pronounced. And her cousin-some-removed, Commander Keen, definitely inspired Hope in the many slaves and downtrodden peoples he freed among the stars.
 
I don't know, between her and her father simply taking a stroll through the Medhall building and gutting the E88 in the process, i could see that generating a lot of hope in Brockton Bay

edit: and a lot of fear

She took out Yes of S-class-minus-Endbringer threats (excluding the S9? I can't remember, obviously I need to re-read the story), which is pretty damned hope inspiring....

There's a difference between inspiring Hope and reducing Despair. Otherwise, virtually all of the Heroes would qualify, not just the ones that actively inspire others.

It comes back to the "Purity" issue. Inspiring Hope has to be the point, not merely a side effect of her actions. Besides, those who know she has eliminated the various S Class threats have not been filled with hope, but fear as a result.

What's really funny is I bet The Joker would be able to tell how dangerous she is at a glance and run the other way, meanwhile any remotely empathic or "reality sensitive" being on Earth would hide under the bed calmy utterly panicked while sucking their thumb. Or in Mr. Mxyztplk's case sucking on Ms. Gsptlsnz's...

Uh, no ma'am I've never particularly wanted to be pregnant male gerbil stuck in a constantly rolling hamster ball that is two sizes too small. No, ma'am I don't think you're too good for your boyfriend, it's that I don't think anyone is good enough for you. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. You as well, ma'am.

Oh, thank the freshmaker, she's gone.

Huh, you don't say? I always wondered why the RGB seemed at odds with the colour chart thing from school stuck in my head. Thanks for the lesson.

Eh, it's easier to grasp/explain when you demonstrate it as an inversion:

All colors of light combined make white light and all colors of light removed make darkness.

All colors of pigmentation combined make a black pigment and all colors of pigmentation removed make a white pigment.

White light will be completely absorbed by a black object because it reflects no light, while a white object will reflect all colors and absorb no light.
