anon said: I’ve heard theories that Hal was a mind player- nothing concrete, just an interesting concept

my self indulgence has reached new levels so… i guess i made a god bod for a pair of shades?

(i’m considering Hal as Prince of Mind for this one)

Hal: When he’s still in the shades, Hal can splinter a piece of his mind, leaving it in the mind of the person that’s currently wearing him. That piece causes teal markings to appear on the persons skin that are similar to the Mind symbol. Through it, he can talk directly into their brain (also while not being worn) and explore some parts of their thoughts.

When he gets a robot body he still has those abilities. In addition to it, those teal markings quickly cover the metal of his body, shifting and changing constantly. His screen-face (under the red shades) also displays some of the mental images of the people he is either touching or is connected through his splinter.

Under either form, he sometimes fills involuntarily someone’s mind with static as a defense mechanism when he has uncomfortable emotions, leaving them a slightly confused/unable to think straight.
