bastard lucas you say? what if he got ahold of a grand relic other than the stone? which do you think he would do most damage with?
Probably the bell. Can you imagine what he could do with power over souls? How he could give his robots true sentience? Control life and death? Bring back his mother? He’d be an unstoppable, diabolical mess!
or maybe even the chalice. being able to stop his mothers death altogether
He accidentally creates a dome to relive the past before she went completely off the wall from seeing The Hunger.
He has no real use for plants or making explosions... although he'd probably be quite content with the Occulus too. Imagine up a new and ideal mom who lets him continue his terrible robotic experiments.
its a shame we never got to see the occulus in action
Could you imagine though? Lucas creating his perfect scientific utopia? Where everybody is smart (in his image and with his ideals) and the world is almost exactly like his Elevator of Tomorrow display...
oh man if that was the case i imagine that the entire arc would involve a bottle city of kandor type scenario where lucas is holding people hostage in a tiny city while he believes hes saving them. what would completely succumbing to the thrall of the occulus look like? with the pheonixfire gauntlet it caused people to become made of fire and with the gaia sash it caused people to become plant like so how would an enthralled victim of the occulus look?
