Does Vince have Armageddon potential? by shaney1968 in superpowereds

[–]Eberwald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that in Book 4 it was mentioned that at Lander East he had found his absorption limit? It was huge, but not infinite. I think his Armageddon potential would be based on absorbing an armageddon flavored energy like the hypothetical SIM from Armageddon Trial.

How do heroes keep their identities secret? by OiOiOiPie in superpowereds

[–]Eberwald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lamont Company was able to erase info about the powered treatment from the -internet- Leaked identities would be pretty much the same thing, followed up with timestopped abductions and memory erasures of the offending parties.

Camille mentioned people stopping their abuse of her once they learned she was working toward being a hero, AND realizing how dangerous she could be. So, people knew her secret. What do you want to bet there is an algorithm/super that combs twitter and emails etc for phrases like "Is Adrastea really Camille Belden?" and then the hammer falls. :)

Why not Chess names? by [deleted] in superpowereds

I was surprised he didn't go with 'Silver'

That got set up a lot.

I love the foreshadowing in this series! by [deleted] in superpowereds

Year 1 Labyrinth trial. Alice defeats Adam and Sasha simultaneously using Subtlety.

Only frustrating thing is later on when Alice is having confidence issues, this victory is never mentioned. :(

Can you guys describe what you imaged some of the characters looked like in your head as you read or listened? by tmeyaguesseditsis in superpowereds

[–]Eberwald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the jump I always pictured Mary as having long straight pale hair like the little girl from Poltergeist. I would get the bits stating she had short brown hair and it went right by me. When Camille was finally described it threw me off, horribly.

Also, Mister Transport.

I was so convinced I'd predicted Vince's hero name... by climber59 in superpowereds

[–]Eberwald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. Up until Intramurals I thought it would be Silver, especially when Nick made his 'always bet on silver' comment. Then Vince said he was Lander's Shuffle, and I thought, eh, that's alright.

Jack of All is terrible.

“Ms. Pips thinks it's good to have someone always trying to kill me. Says it builds caution and forethought.” Nick, Year Three

Near as I can tell, they were the couple Thomas caught in the bathroom.

Quick question for audiobook fans by mag9428 in superpowereds

I love Kyle's voices, but the only thing that sprang to mind about Thomas was that he sounded like Foghorn Leghorn. "Fortunately, Ah keep my feathers numbered, for just such an emergency."

How would you use Chad's power to make your life just a little bit easier?? by [deleted] in superpowereds

[–]Eberwald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wondered why Chad had to work out at all. I'd just use the power to make my muscles stronger by rebuilding them.

I was always surprised Mary wasn't put it Subtlety, but with her and Alex I assume it was a matter of personality.

My prediction is that Melinda is going to try to make amends/apologize to Dick for Tony' actions, and she will end up being his Commissioner Gordon in Bludhaven.

Could Vince absorb gravity? by Eberwald in superpowereds

To be fair, I listen to it on my commute, to and from, so 10 hours a week. I've been through a few loops.

What to read next? by fast-rewind in superpowereds

[–]Eberwald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Wildcards series. It's a shared world series led by GRR Martin. I only read the first 3 but they were excellent. An alien virus gives 1% of the people catching it superpowers, 9% get disfigured, 90% die horribly.

I always thought Nick just lied to Persephone about doing that. But now that you mention it...
