* AmbiguouslyBi: OL has admitted he has (some kind of) feelings for Superboy, though he is still trying to make sense of them and determine whether they're anything beyond platonic. He's also commented on the attractiveness of several of the females around him. Given the ring influences him through his desire, further exploration of the matter is likely. An early thread has him stating that he ''usually'' prefers women, so who knows? [[spoiler:A LotusEater simulation later has him in a relationship with Superboy, Miss Martian, and Jade]].

** They've also experienced the ''reason'' for why Reed Richards is often useless in these types of settings: established industry giants often complain and try to block innovations that can cause market upheaval or change things too much. The power companies claimed that using alien technology for the Bleed generators was "unfair competition" and the railway unions picketed the Dolmen Gates for cutting into their business. Paul simply dismissed their complaints and went ahead anyway.
