Justice Avengers: Discussion

Why not Galactus?

So, by the look of it seems that most character's won't have met each other before, would they?

Serving Galactus means all he does is warn people their planet is going to be eaten.

Like I said, I want him to work as a capo to the don. Tell people that Thanos/Dahkseid requires them, enact Thanos'/Dahkseid's will upon those who please or displease him...

I'd say Thanos or Galactus. Darkseid is already DC, and we know that this relationship doesn't exist between the two, so it's a bit hard to say why Darkseid would have need of an alien herald now or how he could make the Silver Surfer. Plus he already has boom toobs

I'd say Thanos as well.

But that's just me and my love of the mix and match.

To celebrate the Cosmic Thread launch (and our third anniversary!) here's some Robot on Ninja action!!!!

There he is! Tried to nerf him to more acceptable levels.

Also, Liz, I think we may have just found a way to use Thanos as a villain.

First off, you get a gold star.

Second off, I would like to point out that Majestic's backstory already brought up the potential of Thanos as a villain. >.>

silver surfer and majestic meet up

"You chose to stand amongst mortals when you could have stood amongst gods. Was that choice made for their sake or was it made for yours? What is it that you hide under this veil of love and nurture?"

"....You're talking a whole lot of weirdness. I just like helping people. Also, who the heck is Thanos? I keep hearing his name in my nightmares."

A bit of an expansion of Lizard's Ambiguity Theorem. Unless stated otherwise, 'split' Corps factions are hostile to each other.

• Red: divided into two factions.
  • Razer leads the 'explorer and protector' Red Lanterns. His Lanterns are indifferent to the other Corps and prefer to work on their own - much like Nu52 Guy Gardner's turn leading the Earth-based RLs. They have been known to grudgingly ally themselves with other forces if the situation becomes too much for them to handle, however.
  • Atrocitus leads the 'righteous vengeance' Red Lanterns. Atrocitus himself focuses on truly heinous crimes, like planetary genocide, while his underlings tend to rage at even the slightest of rule-breaking. An extremely difficult faction to reason with, though it has been done in the past by wise and/or cunning ringbearers.
• Orange: Larfleeze only, naturally focusing entirely on the 'selfishness' side of his emotion. Long ago, the powerful negative emotion overran any sense of camaraderie the ancient Orange Lanterns had, and their Corps has been lost to history, leaving only one Orange Lantern at a time since.
• Yellow: Sinestro leads his self-titled 'Sinestro Corps', focusing on elevating himself as a 'god-savior' of the universe and instilling great fear in those who would oppose him. The 'trust' of this Corps has been twisted into a mindless desire to serve the current Corps leader; only the strong of will can resist it with (most of) their own minds intact. Replace with Arkillo if Sinestro is going to be a pre-fall PC Green Lantern instead (and maybe have Sinestro join and ultimately usurp Corps control from Arkillo afterward).
• Green: their Council of Guardians was formed to bridge the gap between the desire to protect and the concern about unseen evils. The most politically-minded of the Corps, they often deliberate at length about actions they should or should not take to maximize the positive outcome of a situation, which tends to annoy the more instinctual of their Lantern ranks. Despite their slow tendency to action, however, they are considered the most balanced and fair of the Corps, often lending an ear to disputes across the universe - and a hand via the Green Lantern Corps when they (finally) reach a decision.
• Blue: divided into two factions.
  • The Blue Lanters were founded by Saint Walker, the oldest ringbearer still alive. This Corps focuses more on disaster relief and diplomatic relations, as opposed to the Green Lanterns' 'space police' style and Atrocitus' vigilantism. Theirs is the smallest number of Corps members, as induction into their ranks is a very long and meticulous process, only choosing those who have the motivation and drive to spread Saint Walker's message of hope across the universe. They frequently team up with the Green Lanterns, as Blue rings are capable of empowering any of the other Corps' rings (aka they 'motivate' other rings to work better), and they believe that the Green Lanterns are often the most responsible which such a power boost. Unfortunately, this makes the Blue Lanterns a tempting target for Atrocitus and the Yellow Lanterns.
  • Sister Sercy leads the Azure Veil, a splinter of the Blue Lantern Corps that believed that 'hope' was accepting the inevitability of death and destruction, and instead focusing on the rebirth that could follow after. This mindset put her and her followers at odds with Saint Walker, who preferred acting immediately to save others as his expression of hope, and they eventually left to form their own group. A tight-knit group of ringbearers, they always stay close, never overextending themselves like the Green and Blue Lanterns tend to do. If they reach a planet in time to assist, good - if they do not, they do not grieve at what could have been had they moved faster, and simply aid in the aftermath however they can. On Earth, their philosophy would be easily summed up with three words: "Que sera sera."
• Purple/Violet: divided into two factions.
  • Queen Aga'po leads the Star Sapphires, who focus on the emotion of love... in a way that leaves them no different from the Sinestro/Arkillo Corps' interpretation of 'trust'. Their 'message of love' has been twisted and bent over the ages, making them unable to accept the loss of love; it's lost to their current leader and members that true love also requires the ability to move on when one is heartbroken. It's this faction whose power ended up corrupting Carol Ferris of Earth.
  • Unofficially, Fatality leads the Violet Lanterns, a renegade group of Sapphires who managed to break Aga'po's brainwashing by using the opposing emotion of their Corps - hate. This group eventually joined Atrocitus, as their philosophies of vengeance against objects of hatred matched eerily well. Though Atrocitus and Fatality appear to merely tolerate each other and are often seen arguing and tossing insults, they actually share a mutual respect for what they believe is their true calling in life: acting as agents of vengeance.

"You will all know soon..."

Wait, was Thanos the one that got rid of Majestic's race?

Well I hinted with Carol that Star sapphires are acting "evil" not because they are love extremists,but because their concept of love was corrupted. They're selfish and aren't able to handle the loss of love (death of a loved one), so they trap people to "keep them safe." Princess ghiata (Agapo's daughter) is one of the few trying to redeem them.

Of course Liz has the final word, that was just a sugestion.

Indeedy do. Back when he was a douchey young titan. Not even to court Death, just to see if he could.

edited 14th Jul '15 9:20:34 PM by SonOfSharknado

So would he have 'recruited' Abin Sur then?

@RPGLegend: I think I understand what you're saying, and I edited the Star Sapphires' entry above to coincide with it. How's that look?

Oh good heavens no. That was like a hundred million years ago.

@Demo

Looks great! I would only add as their flaw is their inability to accept that being able to accept loving makes you vulnerable and you can't stop people you love from harming you (ex betrayal) or having them just for you (like they did when trapping them on crystals). But that's ok as an inherent risk of love.

In fact as corrupted as Carol is, She genuinely thinks she is "saving everyone" from the blackest night by trapping them on love crystals.

Sorry if I'm being a bit picky . I'm really a fan of love in general. In fact The Four Loves is among my favorite books.

Makes sense.

I wonder how the Anti-Monitor figures into this

The Monitors are basically Watchers except there is only one for each universe; the Anti-Monitor is the one from the Antimatter Universe aka The Negative Zone. And he's evil, of course. Presumably, the Negative Zone characters (Annihilus, Blastaar) are his minions.

Err, that's my theory anyway.

Is it bad that I am laughing my ass off at my own post?

Though you typed Ant-Monitor for a moment. I was getting some strange ideas.
