Episode 139: Prep Time

Takes place 15 February 2013.

Paul continues on his mission to find the Medusa Mask in order to use it in his plan to cleanse Earth of the Anti-Life.


  • Alternate Universe: We see the Green Knight again. This time, he's on more agreeable terms with the Global Alliance and assists them now that the Shadoen invasion fleet has been defeated. He also helps out Conduit now that humanity is aware of the existence of aliens among them.
  • Godzilla Threshold: Batman admits that the situation on Earth is so bad that whatever Paul's solution is can't possibly be any worse than what's happening already.
  • Logic Bomb: Paul does a version of this in order to remove the Anti-Life infection on his rings.
    External… Motivation…. =…
    "Equals external existence, you worthless waste of quanta."
  • The Needs of the Many: Paul explains to Tuppence that he somewhat follows this belief.
    "Tuppence, there are superheroes like Superman who are genuinely lovely people. People who always try to see the best in people, always pull their punches… Outside of a completely apocalyptic situation at least. I am a good deal more ruthless. I helped you and Thomas because, one, you're not that bad a person and two, I had the time and resources. Here, we're trying to save the planet. If that means that I have to watch a few people get eaten then that's what I'll do, because the world's more important."
  • No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction: Karshon finds that trying to instill the Justified with fear just doesn't work for him, as they are unable to truly feel it or give any meaningful resistance, so he decides to take on Mannheim instead.
