#black mercy

[frownyalfred]

Fic idea: A world where Clark and Bruce both get put under Black Mercy’s spell and see their alternate “ideal” dream realities. These realities are identical, though they don’t realize that — a world where they finally give into the pining and realize the other cares about them just as much.

They get married, raise kids, and build the League. Years pass in domestic bliss.

Cut to them waking up. Both are devastated that their marriage/lives weren’t real and resign themselves to a miserable world with a partner who doesn’t remember them.

They both think the other saw something else — Clark mumbles something about Lois and Bruce lies that he saw his parents alive again (they were in his dream, but that wasn’t the focus? hmm)

But. As they try moving on from the years-in-a-second bliss they shared, odd moments keep cropping up.

Bruce says something Clark only ever heard in the dream world. They know things about each other they shouldn’t. Clark slips up and reaches for Bruce’s body in a way that’s too achingly familiar. They’re both choked with denial and grief.

Cue the most aggravating dual pining ever.

After they wake up, they only talk to each other about the dream once. “What did you see?” “I, uh, saw Lois. What did you see?” “My parents.” It was a lie, or an omission of the truth, but a necessary one. They could never let anyone know what actually happened in the dream, especially not each other.

Or: Clark and Bruce dream of each other in a Black Mercy dream, and don't realize the other dreamed the exact same thing. Cue excessive pining.

Thinking about a Black Mercy scenario after everyone gets their happy ending in the finale. Presuming Lena and Kara are together and perfectly content... what else could the Black Mercy offer that they couldn't find in the real world, or at least have gotten over already?

Would the Black Mercy even be able to keep either of them unconscious? Would they instantly nope out of the fantasy?

Or would it be the other way around? The fantasy so seamlessly mirrors real life that they don't notice any change, and it's harder to wake them up?

Which ultimately led to an inevitably angsty idea-- what if Lena has a terminal illness, and towards the end, when the pain is too much and they know it's just a matter of a few agonizing days left... they turn to the black mercy.

Kara's only bright side to losing the love of her life is that Lena passes in the comfort of a perfect fantasy, free of pain and anguish, surrounded by everyone who's ever loved her-- including her birth mother, a kinder version of Lillian, and a Lex she conjures from her memory, full of love and pride for her-- all telling her it's okay to let go.

(Harley Quinn show) Ivy's plant minion Frank was the result of an experiment with the Black Mercy. He is the result of her deepest fantasy: The plant world thanking Ivy for her work and helping her on her crusade.

For the Man Who Has Everything

By a couple of chaps who a few years later produced a minor comic called Watchmen.

Hands down the greatest stand-alone Superman ever, including the best portrayal of the villain Mongul ever.

If Wondy got trapped by the Black Mercy, what would be her fantasy?

Annoys me that Loveness had the JL trapped in Black Mercies and choose to focus on Batman's Black Mercy fantasy when we had already seen that in the original story! I guess the recent Wonder Woman Dark Crisis oneshot is as close as we'll get to a take on what her fantasy would be like, I think the basic premise of a world uplifted and enlightened by Amazon philosophy and technology would be the foundation for her fantasy.

I’ve been rewatching Season 1 of Supergirl recently and I’m still surprised how much I enjoy this season. I finally got to Bizzaro/For the Girl Who Has Everything and I forgot about this cliffhanger.

I decided to recreate it.

Mongul, Master of the Warworld.

Mongul is heir to a long line of Warworld’s rulers. The original Mongol stole a cutting from the Mother Mercy plant that had been central to the culture of Mongul’s people pre-Warworld. Warped by his experiments, the new Black Mercy variant became a useful tool for Mongul to stage a coup and completely warp society to his own ends.

Eventually--inevitably--Mongul’s authoritarian world order became unsustainable, and he fled into space with his children and a garden of Black Mercy large enough to control anyone they encountered. It would be several generations before another Mongul happened upon his lineage’s other great weapon: the mobile planet-sized battle station of unknown design and origin. Centuries later, when finally analyzed in full, it would be discovered that the Mongul clan had stumbled upon an abandoned Monitor nano-machine, trapped in a universe through unknown means and left at giant-size by a faulty interspatial translation.

Taking control of Warworld from the Warzoon and Largas species that populated it up until that point, Mongul began to grow his prestige by staging gladiatorial games, pressing warriors like Bolphunga the Unrelenting, Draaga, and even the Mongul heir Jochi into deathly combat.

It would be the arrival of Kal-El, the Superman of Earth, that would change Warworld forever. Mercy had always been something of a euphemism on Warworld, a word that always meant death in some form. Superman’s display of real mercy, kindness without weakness, disrupted Mongul’s power and led to him being deposed in short order, Draaga and Jochi starting steps towards a more egalitarian government, though meeting resistance from Jochi’s aunt, Mongal.

Humiliated, he would come to be known as Mongul the Last pursued Superman back to Earth, trapping him in the altered reality of the Black Mercy. Underestimating Kal’s allies, Mongul found himself trapped in the Black Mercy himself, a victim of the very weapon that the first Mongul had used to gain his power.

Collected by the surviving Mother Mercy, Matris Ater Clementia--now a Green Lantern--Mongul spent the remainder of his life in a Merciful Fugue, believing he had conquered all the universe. With Mongal exiled for her crimes and Jochi striving to build a better society than his forebears, Mongul had only one other heir to his power: The White Mercy, a product of Dr. Isley’s experiments with the Black Mercy and Mother Mercy plants, and Mongul’s youngest child.

"Mongul! Get up. Get up, you vermin! Do you understand what you did to me? -Perfectly. I fashioned a prision that you could not leave without giving up your heart's desire. Escaping it must have been like tearing off your own arm... and now I'm going to kill you anyway."

I’m curious, the Black Mercy, what does it look like? Is it similar to Starro?

It's the plant from What Do You Get the Man Who Has Everything. In my broader DCU the origin of the plant was that it was one of Desire of the Endless's idea of a laugh and they ensured the species spread and did whatever it wanted through the broader multiverse. And in the original story Superman's perfect dream started turning very dark very fast, so this particular aspect is a reference to the Allan Moore comic more than the DCAU episode based on it.
