    Jo and Hal having atypical rings and batteries also makes sense for Jo and Hal to investigate the CPB battery explosions.

    I just looked it up to make sure it wasn't Seeley because I like him lol, glad it doesn't seem to be him.

    But yes, I can't say I care for it either. I don't know what it's meant to accomplish. It's like a self fulfilling prophecy that Hal is the bland white patriarch that throws his weight around, so we need to write him that way to justify characters reacting to him in that way

    Oh yeah Hal now has his whole Grant Morrison multiversal power up or whatever, that is they keep that of course.

    They're both hotshot fighter pilots, yes, but Carol's a recovering alcoholic with identity issues. The one time they tried to give Hal issues with drunk driving didn't go down very well and was subsequently retcon punched out of canon.

    I don't see it. Hal's a shoot from the hip maverick, Scott's an uptight control freak. Hal's always questioning the Guardians, Scott was devoted to his mentor. The closest Hal got to being like Scott was when he was Parallax. I'd be curious for your take.

    Don't mind the picture but just like I hated the Larsen exagerrated tongue on Venom, this isn't the Parallax I want to fight Hal. I want Hal's ultra nemesis to be the Parallax View version of Parallax. Who he was before the Johns retcon, older Hal with gray temples willing to do anything, in a Maestro vs Hulk sort of way.

    I’ve thought this too. Would be a cool nemesis since Parallax Hal was only interesting when contrasted with who he used to be.

    I think there is actually a Parallax Hal running around from the Convergence/DCYou days but I doubt anyone remembers that.

    Whatever happened to the Zero Hour era Parallax who's been running around the modern DCU since Convergence? Was there ever any closure on that?

    Didn't he and a bunch of other time-disparate characters go back in time to prevent Crisis?

    Man, Convergence was weird .

    No, he jumped to main continuity after that and I think final New 52 GL arc was about him? But I have no idea what happened in it and if he is still around.
