Scholar's Transformation

General GTG Sentinel Comics Lore
1

We have seen promo Scholar before

On "Expect the Worst" - maybe more

The text on the same

is in Fanatic's name

Was she there when he saw what was in store?

 

For those of you who don't want to have to interpret my poetry:  I don't have the cards in front of me, but I'm pretty sure that when Scholar is pictured on Expect the Worst, he has the markings of Scholar of the Infinate.  And the flavor text of Expect the Worst is "He stood, wreathed in flame, but he did not burn" - Fanatic, Mystery Comics #281.  This sounds to me like Fanatic is present when Scholar "sees too much" and becomes Scholar of the Infinite. I don't know what they were doing, but I have a strong hunch that it involves the Host.  Possibly Biomancer, but I'm leaning towards the Host.  Thoughts?

I like your rhymes,

They are rather fine,

The way you keep time,

So much better than mine,

I wonder how long you can keep them up for?

3

I've been meaning to ask you for some time,

Why have you now begun to speak in rhyme?

4

Aha, to me it seems,

This forum verse is no meme,

'tis led from event nineteen,

Where more of this can be seen,

And this right explains,

Arcanists rhyming refrains.

He still has the robe in that picture, not the vest.  I don't think that is the new scholar.

If you look at his incap side, you'll notice those markings and the ones on the promo are the same.

I think the markings were always there, they probably appear when he taps into his inner power.
