I disagree. A comment in Interlude 18 implies the escalation aspect of his powers to be a reflection of his trigger event; the shard itself would, then, presumably provide the draconic biology and pyrokinesis. Alternate Lung triggers might be expected to provide anything from a changer power between human and non-Endbringer-level dragon, to pyrokinesis alone, to enhanced senses, to regeneration, to an Alexandria package, without a trace of escalation in sight.
And this is why Glenn earns the big bucks.
Well it looks like players are in agreement with the shackled AI, which means there's good odds that we're actually being smart for once
Bit of a dick move, but it seems to be working
MAXIMUM KEK
Leave it to the Avatar to go and redeem a person that the author writing him personally hates. No one can stop the redemption arc!
I think you're doing an admirable job of not letting your bias get in the way of letting the character represent herself.
Ad Hoc tries to do good, but makes no secret that he hates Lisa.
I'd be surprised if Bet!America hasn't made that illegal as a precautionary measure. Gold's value comes primarily from its rarity. If a cape starts mass-producing it... heck, one of the future disasters you saw in the Simurgh's mind was someone causing a financial mini-crash by making it look like they were using parahuman ability to produce gold.
Psh, No chance Behemoth deserve megalovania, and Ziz's fight was confusing enough to deserve something closer to Death By Glamour or Finale, it needs that synthy bop.
Eh, maybe it's time the world stopped treating gold as being inherently valuable due to being shiny and relatively scarce, and started treating it like any other metal with useful properties.
Ad Hoc tries to do good, but makes no secret that he hates Lisa.
Checkmate Warren tries to work with her, but their clashing egos get in the way.
The Avatar, though? The Avatar sees the potential heroism in everyone. The Avatar believes you can be better. The Avatar's last name isn't Rogers, but you'd almost think it was.

I haven't really been following that kerfuffle, but, eh. It's in terrible taste, but you know it will either turn out to be a huge misdirection, or get retconned the hell away, like the time Bleu-blac-Rouge "supposedly" joined Shadow.
Not MCU!Captain America. ...Probably.
Shut your dirty lying mouth that shit ain't canon and you damn well better think so or I swear to god I'll reach through my screen and throttle you for bringing that non-canon bullshit up in this thread about HEROES DOING HEROIC THINGS and there is no fucking way Cap would ever-
It's comics. Their plotlines not making sense is business as usual.
I was actually getting 'Once Upon a Time' flashbacks: the whole 'remove a heart, get a crystal, victim can't feel emotion and has to do whatever you say' thing is a major plot point for many of the shows storylines, as multiple characters are capable of the feat.
That may have provided some inspiration, at least subconsciously.
Forgot to mention earlier:
Wait, did you answer about what Brian, Alec, and Rachel are up to? I never saw one, but the way you said that makes me think I missed it somehow...
I think I did? Anyway, Brian is mostly working on getting a real day job and keeping Aisha out of trouble, Rachel's helping set up the newly-funded dog shelters (Tattletale pulled a few strings), and Alec's mostly hanging out and not doing much.
Ideas, mostly.
