So in Max's cover story, Ted killed himself, Lex Luthor was behind the OMACs (which must make his presidential pardon seem all the wronger), and Brother Eye.. screened Superman punching the Parasite for some reason.
he really needed the White Entity's assist to make that one stick.
I'm reminded of that arc in Freefall where Florence has to do that.
I think Max is also altering people's perception of records like notes and video as well, so post-its might not work. "Max Lord is evil and killed Ted Kord" would suddenly look like a grocery list or something.
This totally reminds me of Buffy Season Five. (SPOILERS FROM A SHOW THAT WAS OVER ALMOST A DECADE AGO!)
Spike: Ben is Glory! Xander: Ben is Glory? Ben is Glory! Giles: Ben is Glory! Spike: Yes! Xander: Yeah, Ben is...is... Giles: Wait, do you think there might be some Ben and Glory? Spike:...
One would think they have a security system with cameras or something in the JLA headquarters they could check or something. At least to jog the memory! Come on!
So Max has made it so you forget about him, and forget that you just forgot about him, and forget that you just saw a bunch of superpeople including Batman suddenly forget what they were talking about, while some of them started weeping for no good reason. And if the JSA had done something crazy like actually take notes at its meeting*, Max would have made sure nobody could read them.
As long as he's borrowing the Mind Gem from 616, why doesn't he just make the world's metahumans all forget to breathe and call it a day?
*Some of them must have tried to take notes, right? I mean, Rule #1 when discussing a guy who can erase your memory is "Write All This Down." Brainiac 5 knew that.
well we can't all be 12th level intellects... who like invisible boys and supermen (and transfer thier emotions for said supermen to supergirls "So how much like superman are you?" :)
There's also Red Tornado, right? Or does he have a 'normal' mind that Max can affect like anybody else?
But really, all they need to do is get any Green Lantern (even Guy) to believe them long enough, or even just to suspect there may be something hinky, and order their ring to shield them from any outside mental influence.
Damn damn damn REMEMBER PEOPLE! Also, this seems to be one of the styles where she actually looks wholesome even with the presence of super-sized bosom.
Inviting Batman to a JSA meeting? Geez, Peej, just ask Dick out already! You're running out of excuses to run into him. Go forth, and bear many firm-assed children.
Already know that at least some of the DC writers watch it, 'cause after Blink Mark Waid or something went online about a day after it aired in the UK to talk what a great idea "Quantum Locking" is.
...ACTUALLY... the possible Amy Pond reference with Peeg crying and Bruce remembering Max despite the mindwipe...
That's pretty much what happened in Doctor Who last season isn't it? Time travellers being less influenced by changes to memory/continuity and the like.

this was soo poignant. Her mind desperately wants to remember and it is killing her inside that she keeps forgetting.
for this level of mind fuck Diana REALLY needs to kill Max again... or Kara.. someone needs to kill him again....

Who's that person with the goggles and the bandana over his or her face? The person sitting next to Wildcat and Stargirl in the mindblank panel.
