I’m obsessing over Den Mom Black Zero. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but it feels like his desire for Kon to “understand” is him wanting someone who understands what it’s like to have a fully-developed Tactile Telekinesis, and that’s fascinating to me. What must someone like Black Zero be able to do and sense with a power like that? Knowing what I know about TTK, I would not be surprised if the fully developed form was literal reality warping. I would like to request more for WIP Wednesday please!!
“. . . I didn’t think we should?” Superboy looks bewildered. “I mean–not long-term. Like, maybe he could do some time in Belle Reve or something, and then go from there?”
“You want me ending up on Waller’s little squad?” Black Zero asks with a snort. The Justice League immediately looks ill, so there’s definitely a Task Force X in this reality. Superboy just looks confused, though.
“What squad?” he says. Teenagers, Black Zero thinks in resignation.
Or maybe Superman is just a shitty co-worker who didn’t give the kid the fucking manual after his education uploads got interrupted. Who knows.
