Thank you for the reminder. This thread isn't about SU so it's not a complete piece of shit but it's close.
>yet another OC that will be forgotten/forced to the eternal sidelines
Seriously how does Bendis still have a job?
Fuck off bendis
>some bolivian rat uses her street garbage to hack ancienct technology that's light years away
Nooo I'm so irrationally mad!
One would think I could just ignore this book as I don't already read it and just continue on unawares reading Morrison but no. A line must be drawn in the sand today lads. ANY decision on ANY book im not reading must correspond to my personal headcannon. Or fucking else. Doesn't matter if I'm not reading it. Doesn't matter if I am. Just, make all comics like I want to see them why is this so hard???
the guardians probably just sorry for how stupid she was
>look at how stupid this human is
>let’s just give her a ring so you stops crying
I hate this cuz I know its gonna turn out that the ring will count her will to hack the ring as will power.
Why haven't the Guardians come after her yet?
>black african bolivian hacker
being bolivian myself I'm utterly offended
Can't wait for her to get killed in an event after someone explains she just exploited a back door put into one of Jordan's batteries since the Guardians stopped trusting him at one point.
That’s retarded.
I hope she either does or finds out she never really hacked a power battery
Pretty sure Hank Henshaw hacked the Central Power Battery before whoever this is
I mean, Scarecrow did it to a Yellow ring too. It was a whole thing where Simon and Jess went to investigate, meets Batman, and Batman got pissy that Simon carries a gun.
Simon gave up the gun at the end of the story only to have that came back and bite him in the ass leading to pic related
Why not a galactic cop carry a gun
Why not use the Ring to make a gun? Stewart did it before.
Maybe he's out of ring charge. Maybe he can't focus at the moment. Maybe he got his hand cutoff. Having a backup weapon is just common sense. Same with having armor
If you're up against something that can overcome magic green energy that can withstand super novas a gun isn't going to do shit.
It's a stupid fucking idea, I can understand why Johns thought of it. You might as well have Galactus carry around a glock "justi in case" the power cosmic fails him.
>Call me teen lantern
>I'm eleven
So Tween Lantern, actually? Ghawd how fucking moronic.
The obvious solution here is to have a high tech space gun, not an earth peashooter.
I'm really hoping she straight up lied
How someone normal, without any special equipment, "hacks" a thing that doesn't even a control interface in first place and can actively choose it's wearers?
Rings fail and lose charge, and Simon's ring was especially prone to fail at crucial points because his ring is defective. It wasn't until Hal merged Simon and Jess's lanterns together that Simon's ring got fixes, but by then Simon already carries the gun as a habit
Considering the amount of human lanterns, there's really no issue with her having a GL ring
Her hacking alien tech beyond the solar system is pants-on-head, fire-cracker-up-ass retarded though.
Frankly, whenever shit hits the fan, every human should have a GL ring. We're obviously the best at it.
Only in the Bendis world which will always out of canon for me personally
He shits on previous stories without care or knowledge
When we get our inevitable next reboot, I hope Teen Lantern is never brought up ever again
It does make a bit of sense. How many situations did superman used to get into because he'd land in a red sun surrounded by human level individuals that he'd normally be able to kick their asses but instead gets over powered because of numbers?
It won't work in every situation.
What colors would actually be "hackable"? For me it's
>RED
Literally Made of blood magic and spite: hacking this would be a cool use of magic tech. This is the most legitimately impressive option
>ORANGE
It just let her THINK she hacked it. Cool because her greatest strength is also her greatest weakness.
>BLUE
Made by 2/20 guardians in probably 1/100th the time. That all
How exactly were his powers hacked? Was it a man-in-the-middle attack? I don't know what a man in the middle hack is, but I vaguely remember it from some how-to hack book I read years ago which I didn't understand. So I used google just a moment ago.
>teen lantern
>not a teen
Or was an antenna used and pointed at the green lantern source? I saw some trailer for black hat hacking where a bunch of nerds were outside a person's home and they were pointing some kind of antenna thing that looked like ray gun from those sci fi movies from decades ago.
Preteen Prantern.
>Okay Groq, get this. You can HACK green lantern batteries!
>What? How? Do you need like one of the Guardians' consoles or something?
>No! Some little kid from Terra used crummy computer! Imagine if we could jack some ring jock's battery! Leave him dead in space and take that power for a spin!
>Alright alright, but like we don't know anything about hacking. How could we pull this off?
>That's the best part! That little kid is going around telling people her Name! Keli Quintela, from some backwater called Bolivia. We can hitch a ship to earth and kidnap her mom or something!
>Well shit, she don't sound too smart. But I got nothing better to do today. Lets go be supervillains.
She's smart actually because now she can use that name for 8 years and not have to change it in 2 years like certain -girls, -boys, and -lads
>Nine or eleven
>Teen
What?
BTW this is like that iron girl carbon copy so is that bendis oc
>Scarecrow did it to a Yellow ring too.
He didn't, he got chosen like everyone else.
Confess: Bendis keeps Yea Forums moving, without him, this would be a cartoon only board.
>is that bendis oc
like you have to ask
What do you expect from literary masochists? Bendis is their dom.
The same way normal people can create cosmic cubes and super armors in their garage. It's capeshit
What does this mean to the rest of the DC universe? If an 11 year can hack it in Bolivia then Lex Luthor can def do it. All smart characters are now insane OP...unless Teen Lantern is smarter than Lex
The faster a board is, the worse it is.
She probably just found the power ring.
>If an 11 year can hack it in Bolivia then Lex Luthor can def do it.
This shit right here. If some poor-ass Bolivian child can hack a lantern, then Lex and about three dozen other supervillains could do it in a fraction of the time and to a far greater magnitude.
>The Green Light
>A source of near infinite power, one of the existential blocks of the universe, its power tapped by an ancient race of sentient muppets with technology lightyears ahead of anything else in the universe
>"Hacked" by an 11 year old girl in a country that uses potatoes to power their technology
>There are people who think this is OK, and even good.
Representation is more important than realism. It's better to be morally right than factually correct. Enjoy being on the wrong side of history.
MEH
Lex Luthor do that from times to times.
Shouldn't it be? The User/ring interface is clearly some form of AI.
not exactly hacked, but he replicated some small bit of it much later
Over in the Fawcettverse, Mister Mind once "hacked" Shazam's magic lighting by covertly installing a lightning rod on the Rock of Eternity. Of course, this is the Fawcettverse we're talking about, so that actually made sense.
>a country that uses potatoes to power their technology
youtu.be
There are other ways to make a Bolivian lantern girl, one that made sense you know
Being chosen by (reasons). The lanterns cast is really diverse, I don't think it's wrong to have one like her, in fact I think it's cool, but the "hacked" shit is awful
I think you're thinking of Sivana, who used science to imitate the magic lightning, which actually makes sense because Sivana has been shown over and over to be stupidly smart and able to even bend reality at his will.
I was honestly just shitposting and wasn't expecting a serious response. Hacking is definitely a stupid word to use. Best case scenario is that they're using it to refer to someone who finds out about how the rings choose their owner and try to game the system. Of course, having enough willpower/knowhow to do that would arguably make one worthy anyway, but still. I'm not into lanterns enough to know how that would work anyway.
I see, like, with possible good writing, there's a interesting way to work around how the "hacking" happened and why she was eventually chosen. I didn't read this issue and there's more to be revealed but we are talking about Bendis so no one expect a good solution, odds are that he is just pushing some low effort OC that is going to be "super extreme smart". He lost his touch years ago.
>He lost his touch years ago.
Yeah, it's really weird comparing him to someone like David Mack who told his story and got out where Bendis just wants to cling to every single scrap he can even if it means shitting over even his own legacy
Given what we know of Teen Lantern, she didn't "hack" anything. She's recreated Black Hand's Silver Age GL energy absorbing device and found a damaged lantern.
