However! - and my memory is hazy here - Neb-Buh-Loh mentions, in Seven Soldiers, that there is a flaw within him that lets him spare Misty (and later Zatanna at the Undying Don's Mansion) from execution. Others on here have read that, and I tend to agree, as the Ultramarines managing to corrupt Neb-Buh-Loh into at least having some semblance of guilt.
The strong implication of the final Frankenstein - the battle up at Wing's grave in the Himalayas - was that, yes, there was a "flaw in [him]," though I tend to read it that the flaw was love, or appreciation of beauty ("Given the chance to end life or preserve it, I was moved by beauty. THERE IS A FLAW IN ME! I can feel it...white hot! And sharp." / "There was harmony, symmetry, and beauty in her. I CANNOT forget. Like an insect writhing on a pin in the glare of the sun. I CANNOT FORGET HER!"), so this pretty much assured me that the Ultramarines learned their lesson and were pretty successful, even if Neh-Buh-Loh did end up as a Sheeda slave-boy in starry loincloth, regardless. And, with the way time seemed inconsistent within the attascopically small universe, there's no reason they've been freed from their exile now that they've been successful.
Because Tim must love Beryl, and she must be the true Beryl. Or something. I'm willing to bet any potentially dubious suggestions that the Batmen of All Nations are possibly suspects might be a misdirection, though I'm prepared to be wrong. Keeping in mind that I just genuinely like the Knight and Squire and would rather they were consumed by the fires of evil Sheeda death-lust. |
