Daxam

Being in two places at once was confusing, but it feels like it might be useful now, trying to carry on after so much.

And Brainy says, your Daxamite abilities still make you the most powerful legionnaire, so you should be up to any challenge we face, especially if you have the good sense to give up being team leader, having already set a new record for casualties on your watch.

Ooh.

Handle what I'm vastly more suited to do.

And the guy plows through it without even sweating.

And Dragon Wing says, uh-oh.

And Cam says, a Daxamite?

Dun-dun-dun-dun.

Potential acid spit aside, who knows how much pressure, PSI, the Bismolian jaw is capable of producing.

And if Tenzel is biting and ripping off Valorium, his neck muscles have got to be at Daxamite levels.

You know, these are the sort of the physics side of superpowers that I always enjoy being brought up.

Well, he did eat the Miracle Machine.

I think it was pretty clear what she was getting at was that only humans would completely melt down over this process because we're the only ones who don't know what the process is, at least before Hal reveals it on TV in 1996.

If you're a Bolivaxian, or a Daxamite, or a sentient planet, or whatever that squirrel one is, or indeed a human after Hal's interview, you know what the Green Lanterns are and how it all works.

If a ring levitates you out of bed, you're going to be like, cool, holy shit, I've been chosen by a Green Lantern ring, before deciding whether you actually want that and what you're going to say to the question.

In 1986, any human approach that way would obviously have had a complete meltdown, until it got to Hal's perfect cocktail of emotional isolationism and Dutch courage.

Right.

So so just to you know, she's Daxamite again in this particular version.

And the world of Daxam is isolationist.

Which makes sense in a world like this, or in a universe like this, because if you have all of the Daxmites running around all over the place, you have a problem because there's a ton of super beings running around, which we do see later, right, in this particular storyline.

And they tried and they just didn't pull it off because they needed her to still be kind of villainous for the rest of the story to work.

Yeah, because so just to reframe what happens and we're going to spoiling if you haven't read this yet, but if you haven't, you really should.

So she gets lead poison because Daxamites are vulnerable to lead.

Brainy cures the disease in her bloodstream.

At Legion HQ, Polar Boy and Element Lad inspect some new Meta Lab equipment, Colossal Boy offers an update on his recovery, and Timberwolf comments how Block wasn't around to help, eliciting an annoyed response from Polar Boy.

On Daxam, Shadowlass receives some bad news about Mon-El's condition and then leaves the planet to find a solution elsewhere.

The Braylian Trio battle Highwinder with Lightninglass, unleashing wild electrical fury before Highwinder teleports away.

As they travel through space, Shadow Lass and Mon-El discuss her binding herself to him.

because he she is such a adversary yes that's right demon mother and i thought there was something else in here too that made me think oh is this is is this oh yeah yeah here it is i'm sorry i just found it uh the science police scene in here i don't remember which oh oh at the with uh i know we're jumping around but um with uh uh shady and monel leaving daxum and we get we get the science police dude here uh holding uh holding them for a second with oh yeah there's a there's a protean right there that's cool yeah a protean

science

police which i thought was like i was like oh cool uh he says you undoubtedly would not assist anyone to break the quarantine of dexam but as science police resident it is my responsibility to make sure you do not inadvertently participate in a violation either And then they scan the ship and it says the computer responds with one life form on board, Daxamite with unusual readings.

Now you could just read that as he's injured.
