--> ''Renegade:''' (''in godspeech'') This Feels So Right.

* Paul successfully uses diplomacy to stop the Grey's attack on the Green. He then proceeds to lessen the Anti-Life's influence on the Grey.

** Diana made him promise [[ExactWords not to attack Zeus]] just to end her errand. Paul doesn't - he teams up with Eris, Hecate and Athena to come up with a workable plan to overthrow Zeus. This ends up consisting of using one the old Lantern ring prototypes and the Spear of Destiny to allow Hephaestus to merge with the growing God of Technology in the dreaming, turning him into the strongest Olympian; Hephaestaean! During the ensuing battle, all Paul does is provide commentary in the form of a song.

* Any time [[FishOutOfTemporalWater Teth]] [[TheGoodKing Adom]] fights another FlyingBrick type metahuman and gets to show what the [[TaughtByExperience decades of experience]] as Shazam's Champion that he has under his belt means when applied to super-fights. Captain Nazi was manhandled through the Watchtower and into '' outer space'' during their fight until he decided running was the best bet. Then Captain Nazi makes the mistake of saying something truly vile about Diana, and Adom proceeds to ''beat him like a drum'' before punching his chest so hard his rib cage collapses while InSpace.

* The Renegade's, and by extension the New Light's, efforts in Africa bear fruit, with war no longer occuring across the entire continent and both life expectancy and education on the rise.

** Diana made him promise [[ExactWords not to attack Zeus]] just to end her errand. Paul doesn't - he teams up with Eris, Hecate and Athena to come up with a workable plan to overthrow Zeus. This ends up consisting of using one the old Lantern ring prototypes and the Spear of Destiny to allow Hephasteus to merge with the growing God of Technology in the dreaming, turning him into the strongest Olympian; Hephastean! During the ensuing battle, all Paul does is provide commentary in the form of poetry.

** When [[GoldDigger Aphrodite]] tries to get back in her husbands good graces now that he's taken Zeus's throne, despite literal millenia of infidelity and making no secret of how little she thinks of him, Hepheastean simply dissolves their marriage, then tells her to shack up with Ares like she's been doing for so long. And doesn't bother informing her that Ares is now castrated before she leaves.

** ComicBook/SwampThing showing up after the Injustice League is captured, and [[{{Depower}} removing]] Poison Ivy's connection to [[MotherNature The Green]] after giving her a verbal beatdown about how Gaia ''doesn't care'' about her petty causes.

--> '''Renegade:''' Nice try, jackass. Next time give it your A game.

--> "So tell me about this total fantasy non-monster version of me who lives in your head."\\
I smile. "Alright then. At a young age, she showed great talent at fire bending. As a result, her father showed her particular favour and as a dutiful daughter she strove to keep him happy. She focused on her studies, trying with all her might to make him proud of her. Because… Wasn't that what she was supposed to do? And he in turn showered her with… Not affection, exactly. But he demonstrated pride as she got stronger, and made a particular point of encouraging certain behaviours which he believed useful. Viciousness, so that she'd push away all confidants but him. Cruelty, so that none would dare cross her. Aggression and assertiveness and a sort of domineering charisma. Useful traits for a Fire Nation noble. Her mother turned from her in horror, but that was fine. After all, she had her father."\\
"And when her brother failed to capture the Avatar so hard that an entire fleet was destroyed, she left the Fire Nation and took over the mission from him. Though she didn’t ''quite'' manage to kill him, she ''did'' capture the Earth Kingdom's capital through stealth and guile and returned home in '''triumph'''. And when her brother betrayed her country, that was fine. She didn't think much of him anyway. Now her father would only have her!"\\
"And her friends turned from her, but that was alright, because she was doing what her father wanted. And they were traitors and they had to be dealt with as such. And then she came back to the palace to be told that she was to be made Fire Lord! The pay off had finally arrived." I smile. "All that pain, all that suffering, all that hard work, and here was the reward." My face falls. "An empty title as he promoted himself to King of the World, showing not the slightest regard for all of her efforts."\\
Her eyes are locked forwards, unseeing. She's shaking slightly. "You built your identity, your concept of the good, around a man who cared for you not at all. You pushed away everyone -just like you were supposed to- and you were left with nothing. And fixing ''that'' is what I am here to help you with."

* Indigo Lantern Paul decides to prove to his new teammate that he's not a bad guy by going to a children's ward in a hospital and healing all the terminal patients.

* Paul swearing his true oath for the first time. And summoning the Ophidian to burn away the energy-ring-eating dust Klarion used, and swearing a second oath; that he would fight Nabu, and he would win.

* Paul temporarily gives one of his rings to Jade so that she can heal various Vietnamese civilians of the afflictions they suffer from due to exposure to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_Orange Agent Orange]].
