METRON AND TECHNOLOGY

Metron invented the Boom Tube (he's not good at coming up with names apparently)

Among it's many powers, the Moubis Chair is faster than dinosaurs
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronDinos.jpg

Here we see the basic function of the Moubis Chair. It is a vastly improved Boom Tube.

For all those who think Metron needs his Chair we see him reprogram a home computer to read data recorded on his clothing

Here's what happens when Metron gets prep and motivation . . .
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronInvention.jpg

Arrives on Apokolips without Darkseid finding out.

Is unaffected by images that destroy human sanity. The Moubis Chair can also tap into souls.
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronSoulTap.jpg

The Moubis Chair has the ability to drag planets behind it. In the interest of honesty I will admit that this is a false memory but Metron's knowledge of his Chair's functions were not lost due to his amnesia so it is not unlikely that the Chair can do this.
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronTeleport2.jpg

Restrains Kalibak
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronKalibak.jpg

The Moubis Chair is not limited to teleporting it's rider.
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronTeleport.jpg

Metron can teleport using just his suit.
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronTeleport2.jpg

A journey that would take a lifetime requires mere moments for Metron
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronGiants.jpg

While driven utterly insane Metron devises a way to restore his sanity (off panel), uses it, finds Highfather and restores his sanity as well.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronCure3.jpg

Metron's datalinks monitor everything. Even Darkseid's attempts at privacy are pierced.
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronDatalinks.jpg

Some miscellaneous stuff:

Fights off two New Genoshens.

Metron's Tremendos Ego

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronDurable4.jpg

Metron is a master of disguise
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronDisguise.jpg

No one is without flaws. One of Metron's is greed. But considering how much mileage he's gotten out of Element-X it seems worth it. I would like to note that Darksied hires Metron with the knowledge that he will be betrayed.

Nothing is secret from Metron
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronSecret.jpg



I've been going around looking for Metron's appearances. Not done yet, of course, but I think this is an OK start.

Good stuff, Metron is a beast and of course I'm a fan of.

If you want a good list of apperances of his, check here:

SPAWN

One interesting thing about Metron, apparently something makes him very different from the other New Gods:

"I am not of Apokolips or New Genesis. I am something apart."
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronNoNG.jpg
The New Gods are being slaughtered but the mastermind doesn't do anything to Metron when they meet.
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronNoNG2.jpg
"I have no link with the old gods - or new!"
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronGreed2.jpg

Confers directly with the Source:

I love how Metron hears about the up-coming end of the 4th world, and the deaths of everyone and everything he knows. And then his reaction is, as I think you put it best: "Ouuuu, can I watch?" lol

Scans from Galan's SwampThing respect thread.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/abilities_metron7.jpg

After entering the Source with ST's help Metron recounts his experiences to Darkseid. Notably, while ST is overwhelmed (but not driven mad) Metron hardly flinches.

Also, Metron refers to very powerful SwampThing only as "the vegtable" despite ST's assistance (ego feat!)

"The energy at my disposal is limitless -- It would require but a fraction of it to narrow the frequencies of my form to an exact simulation of your biology... I can easily become human":

Was Metron predicting the death of the New Gods years before it started coming to pass?:

http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/6272/metron3fq5.th.jpg

The MoubisChair has cloaking tech
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronCloaking.jpg

Impressive feat with the senor systems. Metron determines that there is no conflict anywhere on Apokolips, determines that Orion is the cause, finds that Orion is on Earth, determines Darkseids location.
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronSensors2.jpg

Maybe more a personality trait than a feat. Analysis of a device atom by atom in his lab.
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronAtomByAtom.jpg

Orion goes to Metron in order to solve a problem MotherBox is unable to. It's hardly a challenge. We also learn that the Moubis chair is keyed to Metron's aura.

His knowledge of Earth incredibly detailed as well.

Metron w/Moubis Chair actually tows Apokolips around

1. http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh187/DarkseidRes/NewGodsv3_12-14.jpg

Here's another scan of Metron pulling a planet which would be the "new" New Genesis after the old one was destroyed

1. http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh187/DarkseidRes/TheHungerDogs_p063.jpg

Metron can use bio-energy to power the Chair if he needs to:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronBioPower.jpg

The sensors in the Moubis Chair find the weakest point in the SourceWall:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronSourceWeakness.jpg

Even under mindcontrol Metron's obsession is present. In fact from the dialogue it seems to be a central part of what is allowing him to be controlled:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronObsessionWill.jpg

Metron reconfigures the JLA teleporters to work through time:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronBabyBox.jpg

The Worlogog is so complex that the incredibly advanced Hourman robot knows he will need an upgrade to understand it. Metron's understanding seems fine:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronWorlogog1.jpg
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_Worlogog.jpg

"The mother box is ten thousand generations more advanced than your most advanced computer . . . . one of the toys of new Genesis"
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronTranstemporal.jpg

The blast from the Godwave sent a great number of heroes and Takion flying. Metron was so unphased that he kept scanning:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronResistGodwave.jpg

Metron meets a PromethianGiant. Note that Dessad has a conniption fit just from looking at it.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronPromethian2.jpg

A bit later Metron creates this to facilitate conversation:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronGiantProjection.jpg

Metron alters relative time using the Chair (this makes him billions of years old):
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronAltertime.jpg

Metron's thoughts on . . . everything (ego feat):
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronPawns.jpg

Sneaks onto Apokolips before he has the MoubisChair:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronPreChair.jpg

Just awesome bunch of feats. It culminates in removing Darkseid from the SourceWall. Among other things Metron creates so many duplicates of himself and his allies that the universe actually feels smaller to the ForeverPeople:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronSourceWall.jpghttp://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronSourceWall2.jpghttp://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronSourceWall3.jpghttp://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronSourceWall4.jpg

I have no idea what he's doing here but the PromethianGiant scientist seems really impressed:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronWeirdFeat.jpg

Not only is Metron a complete jerk with a rather flawed moral compass but he apparently spends some time perfecting that part of his character:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronUntrustworthy.jpg

Cosmic joyriding and being an enigmatic jerk:

Metron gifed the human race with knowledge:

Libra wants the MobiusChair. Noteably, before Libra's return he had become one with the universe:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_LibraWantsChair.jpg

Meeting Metron made sufficient impression on Anthro that he memorizes the pattern on Metron's clothing. Later he adds markings to his face--also in Metron's style.
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronAntho1.jpg

Kamandi mentions that Metron provided Anthro with a "weapon agains the gods." It also seems that simply drawing the pattern from Metron's clothing caused Anthro to time travel.
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronAntho2.jpg

Here's an odd one-time-feat. Metron blasts Extant with a beam of energy from his forehead. It's hard to gauge how powerful the blast is, though.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/MetronTKBlast.jpg

Well it did seem to knock him back a bit

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii236/Syms_Photos/th_MetronAntho2.jpg Just to update a bit..

The knowledge/markings Metron gifted to ancient man, were meant to be passed down over the years. Why? Because said markings are actually living symbols from the New God alphabet - symbols that literally mean "freedom from restriction":

http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/1451/metron1.th.jpg

ie. Metron gave man immunity to the Anti-Life Equation.

Wait so the ALE is useless now?

Only the select few who knew/utilized the markings were immune to the ALE.

Anyone have the scan of him mentoring Nix Uotan in Final Crisis where he warns the young Monitor against breaching the Bleed lest Mandrakk be released? I thought that was a great showing of just how knowledgeable he is.

Morisson, Is under playing the Gods, and his own meta physical philospohy. I've heard him describe, how the Anti Life equation is basically the coded shut down of the Genesis incident; and then he made man, in his own image .... i.e. gave him free will.

Naughty Naughty, Morisson. The New Gods don't have immunity to that, or do they?

Morrison also believes in the power of words and writing though. So much so that it isn't irreconcilable with his view of the ALE as to revocation of free-will. Writing makes the impossible possible so if its impossible to escape the ALE then it doesn't matter because you have the New Genesis symbol for Freedom.

On those same lines, I always thought that Scott Free, would be the Harry Potter of the story, in respects to what u are talking about. I.e. he is the God of escape/Freedom,. I thought he would be the Sources/Gods way of escaping the anti life equation. I.e. he has the Life equation in his head, and he shares it with ecryone else. It would make him relevant !

Mann I love the New Gods, I wish they were utilize more appropriately. Not in a KMC, I would give them every power of conception, and have them rape Superman, kind of way. I mean in a really original neo mythological way. I think u could do so many cool things with them.

To fully illustrate what Im getting at, I think the worst thing about the Gaiman Eternal mini, was the fact they were firmly established in continuity. I think u could do so much more with them out of continuity. U could do a watchmen esq piece ? ... What about a contemporary Illiad, with the Eternals acting as the Gods. Whoa, Im good sometimes !!!!
