Enabled? In the sense of being able to write down the words on the paper, perhaps. But that's not really a science. You might as well say that trees enabled the atom bomb, because they wrote it on paper.

Comparing 'writing' to 'physics' is like comparing the wheel to chemistry. One's a great invention, the other is a field that contains a vast percentage of the total sum of human knowledge. And is also awesome.


No no, not enabled. It's simply that without writing, science wouldn't exist.

I disagree. Science is not simply the sum of scientific knowledge, but it is a method. A state of mind. Science is the act of observing the world, and trying to learn from it. It is an art as old as mankind.

Indeed, however, with out the ability to permanently record, where would science go? That is where writing is absolutely instrumental.

@Afro Samurai
Can you make a new post with your new CS for me to look at? Being mobile only makes it a bit of a Hassel to search for things.

@Feisty-Pants
Feel free to create a CS for approval, friend. We're always accepting (unless Reg ends up deciding that we've got enough people, but I honestly don't see that happening).

Bloody mobile.

Anyways, Reg will be online soon. I'm heading to bed shortly, so I expect he'll deal with your reworked CS Afro.

And if you get yours up soon ish, I'm sure he'll get you sorted out too Feisty.

I don't believe there's a point in arguing what's better... Science or literature... It's like arguing if peanut butter or jelly is better when they go so well together Like I said before... It's a matter of energies... You have too much yang you're gonna enjoy more sciency stuff... Too much yin... you enjoy more wordy stuff... I can appreciate the wonder and marvel of mathematics... the golden ration, the Fibonacci sequence, Pi... without actually enjoying doing math... Just like sciency people can enjoy and appreciate literature without enjoying creative writing.

What are the abilities of Techsters parents? Also their most probable reaction to Looking Glass essentially ignoring them?

Lift has complete Forcefield control. Size, movement, the whole shablam.

Mass is exactly that. He controls mass. Hence why he was able to crack a roof just by walking across it.

@Regitnui will need to answer on how they'd react to that.

@TheHangedMan, Mr Mass has control of densities, his own and others. Lady Lift has the ability to control air, usually shaping it into force fields or solid objects. You can ignore them, but they're already carrying you away on a forcefield with Techster. They'd probably think you're shy or rude or both.

I'd like to point out to both @Feisty-Pants and @Afro Samurai that a weakness isn't a logical one: Lady Lift loses her powers in contact with wet clay, Dragon Heart's powers are drained via intimate contact and Phantom stays repowered via tea. The power and weakness are unrelated. So while I like both of your characters, it's worth remembering that little nugget. So while darkness might weaken your angel, it won't be her Kryptonite.

I've been treating weaknesses as a part of a person's life, something they were exposed to early, maybe

@Mercenary Lord, the weakeness is related to the person not the power, and they don't necessarily draw off the same aspect: Spectrum has armour, drawing from her agoraphobia, but their weakness is deep water, drawing off an inability to swim. Dragon's powers come from being in a fire as a child, and his weakness from a deep seated need for love.

They don't necessarily even line up that neatly: Lady Lift could have had a potter for a parent and lived in Tornado Alley, or she almost drowned in a peat bog as a kid and used to spend a lot of time pretending to use Krillin's Destructo Disc from Dragonball Z. Only she knows why wet clay affects her.

In short, we're talking "magic" superpowers, not "science". More the Reckoners trilogy (Brandon Sanderson's the author, great books) than the MCU when it comes to weaknesses.

That's more what I was thinking, @Afro Samurai. Welcome aboard.

Ah, okay. Interesting. So it'd have to be something like say she was abused as a child and locked away in a dark closet often. So she's terrified of the dark.
