That's what you get when you rip Kyle Rayner apart and do whatever happened to Guy and John. Also, that's what I assumed at first, but 'he's bad at everything' and 'wait for a patch' imply otherwise.

And yeah, they seriously missed an opportunity to not replace Hal with one of the new Green Lanterns. EDIT: Also I just realized that Jamie Reyes has been around for like, a decade now. Shirkelton fucked around with this message at 08:48 on May 22, 2017 |

Hal Jordan is that one writer's husbandfu right? Which is why he's the best at everything now right?

Thinking back, I wonder how much Green Lantern's slump in sales that led to Johns being given the green light for 'Rebirth' was less due to that title and more just comics in general.

RevKrule posted:Not just any writer, Geoff Johns husbandfu. This is always why we never get Wally West anymore. I was curious about that. Wally West completely and totally inherited the Flash mantle in what should be the Uber example of sidekicks becoming the main hero after the main hero sacrifices himself to save existence but all of a sudden he stopped existing and the old guy came back and nobody even remembers Wally now (up until that wacky watchmen crossover started where Barry pulled him back into existing?) That just strikes me as odd and a writer just being enamored with his childhood a la Joe Quesada and the like

A writer enamored with his childhood is literally Geoff Johns entire career, for good and for bad.

You shouldn't he has a lovely overhead, great cross-ups from the air, a fantastic combo extender when meter-burning db1 and maybe the best j3 in the game, which is hideously easy to combo into normal strings.

He's the only character in the story mode I have a negative W/L ratio with. I hate his ring grab thing and most of his base specials are underwhelming. It's probably less that he sucks, and more that he's the technical character for pro-strats, but as a scrublord, I hate playing as him, and that sucks cuz I was excited to use the John skin but it means I have to play as GL.

Was Cheetah being able to slice up Kryptonians with just her claws because of "magic" a thing already? Cuz uhh okay. And Christ, Injustice World Diana is the absolute loving worst. redbackground fucked around with this message at 15:33 on May 24, 2017 |

redbackground posted:Was Cheetah being able to slice up Kryptonians with just her claws because of "magic" a thing already? Cuz uhh okay. Yes. Kryptonians have always (or for a very long time) had a 'weakness' to magic, insomuch as magical weapons affect them the same way they would anything or anyone else, their invulnerability doesn't work on them. The reason why Superman can tank a Captain Marvel thunderbolt basically amounts to him having invulnerability AND increased durability and the magic works on the former and not the latter.

The modern Cheetah's claws are literal magical, they can cut through almost anything. So they were both given to her by magic and are magical cut-anything claws.

I think it's more that they felt obligated to include at least one villain for each of the main JLA crew. Supes gets Darkseid and Brainiac, Batman has Scarecrow, Deadshot, Catwoman, Bane Ivy and Joker (I suppose you could count the latter two as shared with Harley), Flash has Grodd, Cold and Reverse Flash, GL got Atrocitus and WW has Cheetah.

Atrocitus' 'involvement' in the storymode is hilarious, by the way.

It isn't like Kryptonite to him, he just has no special defense against it. Zatanna could turn his rear end into a rabbit but not like a double-rabbit. (Why this never comes up when Superman Goes Rogue is because shut up.)

In the Brave and the Bold cartoon, Cheetah made herself a match for Superman by way of a magic talisman and coating her claws in Kryptonite nail polish. I'm just going to assume she's taken similar precautions here.
