A word for the next time we meet Oni Lee. In Theory Oni Lee's teleportation works on line of sight meaning that he needs to see where he wants to jump to before going there. Something like Grue's power would be ideal for this.
Anything that obscures sight is good, mundane or paranatural. Out of the mundane things, a few could be utilized:
-Simple darkness- our Shadows would have superior sight to him, althought this advantage does not extend to Jacob, and a simple light defeats it.
-Smoke- if he can't see, he will at least have trouble getting away. Riddle said smoke with bullets, and we may get him yet. Bonus points for poisonous/irritating (think pepper-spray) smoke.
-One-way mirror- not that useful in hindering him, but allows for a significant advantage during an ambush. That is, if we assume we can bring him to a proper place...
-Blinding light- flash-bangs, very strong lights, lasers... anything we can flash him with.
-Cloth- perhaps not the same technique, but the principle stands- cloth in your way means you can't see shi- stuff in front of you.
-Pie- ... It will blind him for a while. That is, assuming we can hit him with it. Maybe we'll get a bonus to accuracy roll due to comedy?

... Is clone!Jacob's vulnerable to poison like a normal human, or does he have some immunity?
Also he does need to breathe, doesn't he? If so, can he hold his breath for longer than a normal man?

We're made of Ebon. I think quite a few things might be optional.

Let's be frank here- he might be a a very aggressive ninja, but a customer is a customer. No need to burn bridges, even if they try to burn you first.

Thinking about our minions, in case he's not reasonable - Shadows could be perfect against Lung- just hang around him and slowly drain his energies, no need to fight him.
I do wonder what could work against Lee though. How about...
[Plan idea] Explosive Spider Net
1)Produce tons of disguised mines and tripwire grenades in a large, abandoned area.
a)Could use Denizens as "intelligent triggers", setting off explosives (through wires or other remote methods- no need to lose them) when Lee appears near them.
b)Using our engineering aptitude and Ebon Replication powers, we could rig up more than one kind of trap (explosives, tripped guns, bear traps?) for variety's sake.​
2)Lead Lee to this place, preferably at night.
3)Watch him teleport into a trap and explode before he can react.
Though once he's aware what's up he'll bail, or worse yet set off all the explosives and then leave.

Few quick questions: are Denizens (and all shadow minions) very vulnerable to light? Are flash-bangs deadly to them? Do they see perfectly well in the dark?

Also considering our replication powers, we really need to get a few tinkers on our side. Imagine just spawning automated turrets during this fight. :D
because we had a small but fun fight is no reason to not have him as a customer he is also the most reasonable cape in his gang
 
We're made of Ebon. I think quite a few things might be optional.
So Toxic Aura is a go, then! We don't need to breathe, Shadows don't need to breathe, Lee and Lung will soon find out they don't need to either (because they'll be dead).
Now we just need to alchemize... let's say a good batch of chlorine gas, then shove it (or alchemize in) into grenades, gas bottles, whatever (how about balloons? what a cheeky surprise for his birthday party :D). Then we let our minions cary them, hide them, and release at an appropriate time. It'll make the battlefield of our choice deadly to our enemy, with no danger to ourselves. (of course, there's collateral we'll have to worry about...)

Also he's... not exactly autonomous (read: half brain-dead), so it'll be easy to manipulate him, or even directly write upon that Tabula Rasa.

true and the half of his brain that is alive is still reasonable so we can be friendly with him he will be a good customer and we have no reason to not give him our business card if he does not use it he will give it to lung

You know what. I'd be down with giving him our card. Tell him to call if he wants new equipment or another fight.

@SoixanteZio then vote! Pretty sure calling card option is lagging.

Is "made out of magical energy" close enough to Asian or Aryan for any of BB's gangs? Also Jacob should probably find some bums/drug addicts to sneak up and partly drain. He doesnt have anywhere to "store" captives and even if they notice him, police probably won't give a fuck. Probably shouldn't kill and should try to do is stealthily in case PRT gets their hackles up

When bagging para-humans and then trying to suck out their soul... its best to either absorb it all in one go or have a plan to kill them in case they second trigger during the process, in which i'm pretty sure they will. Having your soul sucked out is pretty traumatic and a qualifier for a trigger event in my opinion.

Second triggers need the trauma to bensure like the first one.


Grue only snapped when his team was wrecked in front him while he was helpless.

If that's the case, shouldn't we worry about creating a parahuman if we do that to a normal person?

Still think Soul absorption is pretty traumatic
That's not the point. It doesn't matter how traumatic it is. It only matters if it's traumatic exactly like the way they triggered but even more so

It Taylor wasn't already done up she'd only trigger in extreme claustrophobic isolation and danger related to being ostracized and scorned enough no one would help.
 
[x] Fuck the police. Continue the fight. You refuse to retreat just because the feds are here and you won't allow a ninja to leave without you getting a few hits in.
