My face when the Viltrumite Empire attacks the planet, but I send Phenomaman with Prism and they low-diff them.

TLDR where is the verse currently sitting at you think?

<Building level for the majority of the verse
~Multi-City Block level for heavy hitters
possibly star level over time for Phenomaman via absorption.

Speed is iffy but probably between supersonic and MHS
 
I like her relationship with Punch Up, too. It's a neat dynamic.

Speaking of him actually, I remember someone earlier in the thread asking if/how he can use his Picnokinesis (density manipulation) in combat.

I think the finale finally gave us a really good example of it, with him bouncing off the legs of Shroud's mech. I thought it was just cartoon logic at first, but now I think that's him actually using his powers.

Agreed there - I already kinda figured that it being mentioned in his bio meant it was him using it on himself but that stuff confirmed it for me, all that.
 
I might have missed anybody mention this so forgive me if this is a redundant topic:

Robert should absolutely have Social Influencing to some capacity, no?

"Leadership: Characters who can in some way or the other lead an individual or a group of people to a path of success. This includes cases in which a character implements a strategy and plans for the success of a team or an individual. This can include even cases in which a character is motivating a person or a team and making them more confident. This is common among characters who have a high level of position in the society, since they are commonly perceived as leaders, but this differs from it as this may not include the characters having a definite social position and them just controlling everything from the shadows, or a figure in the team which is perceived as heavily motivating or administrating."
  • The most obvious one that he qualifies for.
    • Due to his position as a Dispatcher, "lead an individual or a group of people to a path of success" is literally his job.
    • "This can include even cases in which a character is motivating a person or a team and making them more confident." Another point for Robert, as it is consistently demonstrated that he can make one hell of a speech even when player-choice for said responses is involved (the main exception being the Z-Team having low morale if you Defend Visi rather than cut her).
    • "... a figure in the team which is perceived as heavily motivating or administrating." Again, pretty explicit.

"Coercion: Characters who can make others perform certain actions by blackmailing or threatening them. This differs from instigating fear, as this directly involves making a person perform an action, and blackmailing or threatening them is just a secondary factor."
  • I personally believe Robert may qualify for this due to his "interrogation" of Toxic, but the main issue lies with it being orchestrated by Shroud (hinted by the response calling Toxic trash during the siege of SDN). So he may not actually qualify for this, unless we count the capability of him doing so to be in favor of him having it.

"Social Position and Reputation: Characters who possess a high level of position in society or are heavily respected in their setting, which allows them to control an individual or a group of people. In cases where a character in question with high position or reputation is being used by another person behind the shadows, the character doesn't qualify for having this kind of influencing."
  • Robert would qualify for Reputation rather than Social Position, as he's well-known by the public for being the third Generation of Mecha Man following in dad's footsteps. Prism awes at him for being "a real superhero" should you reveal your identity to the Z-Team, and if you attack the reporter interviewing you he says the crowd was "chanting" for him and watched him for several minutes (though one could argue it was because the reporter was a dick, would a crowd really sit by and even start cheering if not for Reputation?).

As an addendum, you could argue Robert giving Shroud both the Astral + Prototype counts as SI - Deception primarily due to Robert's reasoning ("the only way to fool you is to not know wtf I'm doing"). It primarily seemed like a final Hail Mary on Robert's end due to a lack of options, but Robert's reasoning specifically makes it an arguable case lol

That locker room scene really did some heavy damage to invisigals character (if you got it, thankngod I didn't).

Like you could have done it literally million better ways instead essentially SAing. I've seen people call her Invisididdy.

Honestly, choosing to lean in is a saving grace for her if you do choose it.

The kiss in the locker room is, Interestingly enough, something that's influenced by your decisions from all the way back in Episode 4 onwards. Its a point based thing. You play into her bits and jokes, you get a point. Go on a date with her, you get a lot of points. Etc, you get it.

I suppose the idea is that if she feels like there's any kind of spark between you two, she wants to try and make her feelings known before she's gone forever. Which is still bad, even if you're dating her, but I could at least understand the idea in a heightened reality kind of way.

The problem (one of them anyway) is that the point value is way, way too low. You only need 5 points for the scene to happen. You can very easily get that even if you didn't go on the movie date with her.
