I always thought that the Ultra Violet Corp should've been fuled by Indifference. If standard Colors are Emotions, then what's the opposite of that? Not feeling anything at all. An Emotion that isn't there, just like Ultra Violet.

[@soaringraven0]

except the UV part of the light spectrum isn't anti the visible light part, its got more energy/a smaller wavelength UV is there, just invisible to humans. So its makes sense to be hidden emotions, tho the positive ones would work better cause its beyond violet (which the blue end of the spectrum are positive emotions) while infrared should be negative (cause the red end is negative)

[@allforone3427]

@@soaringraven0 The way DC handled the Ultra Violet Corp they were basically treating it like the Black Lanterns 2.0. By which I mean they treated it like it was the Anti Emotional Corp. So I feel like having it be fueled by Indifference would've worked better from a Storytelling point of view. Because let's not pretend that Science comes before the Story in DC.

And I feel like some Liberties could be taken when it comes to Scientific accuracy for the sake of the story. As long as it's good it doesn't have to be 100% factual. As long as they don't try to say that their version is accurate to the real world it should be fine.

Sure things like Rage can carry you farther than you think, but there's only so much you can care about at one time.

Because it doesn't matter how hot you Burn, you're still gonna BURN Out........eventually.

They have stronger emotions, which is why they have to repress them so much. So yes, they would be as ridiculously overpowered at this as they are everything else.

[@ZombieBradow]

They don't repress emotion. They feel it more deeply and logically than humans do. They just don't make decisions with their feelings. The emotions are still felt and processed. Spock has repressed things in the new movies but he's half human. I think understanding your feelings logically and allowing them to pass naturally is the opposite of repressing. Source: so much therapy.
