One of the reasons we don't want to go through the full scope of our ability is that Cauldron, who Legend works for, is likely concerned that we're another Scion.

We don't know that. I don't like using out of character knowledge in roleplaying. Not saying we should waste our time in power testing, but...

Is this supposed to be Circus?
[X] You want to help these people, but you don't know them very well yet - or, for that matter, their operational security. It might be best to keep a few aces up your sleeve. You will cooperate with the power testing, but not reveal everything you can do.
With the amount of powers that could be used to forcibly take information, whether by hacking, interrogation or the like, it seems highly prudent to keep some details hidden.
[X] Start small. Brockton Bay could use some help, as well as some denazifying.
... yeah, I'm a sucker for Brockton Bay. Let's help out and groom Taylor to be a great hero.

She is going to do that anyways. It isn't as if Taylor is going to sit around doing nothing, it just isn't in her character. She will find some way to make a splash without the Avatar there holding her hand.
While I agree with what you say here, this update has Taylor receiving an Avatar-hug. This more than makes up for the other minor deficiencies.
More detailed comments (mostly fact-checking) to come later.
Precogs can see Avatar (and are OCP to him). This means that Cauldron is unlikely to worry about him.

Sun tzu also said that we aren't defenseless against them either so we aren't fucked if we have to fight against someone with precognition.
Oh, he knows what he can do.
Power testing serves two purposes: It lets the PRT know what he can do (so they can make better battle plans involving him - remember, he didn't fight Leviathan alone)... and it will provide useful comparison between his abilities and those of the parahumans, giving him a better idea of what they can do.
Not a bad way to spend a few hours.
It's not just about dealing with street-level stuff (that includes a gang of twenty Neonazi supervillains) - it's about learning the ropes of how things work on Earth Bet. The legal procedures for arresting villains, how the Protectorate operates, how the public thinks, that sort of thing.
Whoops. Thanks. It was Kaiser and Circus, respectively.
1)If magic is sealed on Earth-Bet like it was on the Avatar's World (and that's a big if. Remember that Causality was a playable choice
)... then unsealing it could well be a terrible idea. It's bad enough having the Scion-apocalypse looming on the horizon, you don't want to throw in some potentially less-than-friendly gods coming into the mix who haven't crippled themselves by taking an avatar form.2)A possibility that the Avatar is considering! Not his first priority - especially seeing as he knows so little about Scion - but something he may well do in the near future.
Well, they're going to worry. Just a lot less than they would if was precog-invisible.
Wasn't magic unsealed using the entire Holocaust as a giant ritual sacrifice? While Kaiser might like this idea, it doesn't exactly seem heroic.
In some other stories, yeah, but not here. In the Avatar's World, the Holocaust served no mystical purpose (though it was Nazi mystics who unsealed magic, hoping to give the Third Reich an edge toward the end of the war when it was very clearly losing).

[X] The better they know your powers, the better plans can be made to save the world. You know the importance of being a team player, so you're going to tell them everything you can afford to about your powers and fully cooperate with the testing.
[X] The Guild is a non-governmental team that specializes in fighting the Big Bads. It sounds more fitting for you than the Protectorate, honestly.

[X] Decline power testing, as it is unnecessary. Instead, simply provide the protectorate with a detailed list of what you can do. Be honest, but keep a few aces up your sleeves when it comes to aspects of you abilities that might be classified as thinker or stranger type powers - in other words, powers that you'll be able to use much more effectively if nobody knows you have them.

How it works in North America Bet, you mean. It's not going to help him in other places, like Africa, Japan, China and India, who all have different laws and cape culture.
The best way to gather information is to ally with the Guild/Protectorate and simply ask them to brief you on everything over the next few days.

Also, given that in this universe Gallant survived, there's a bit of brand new WOG which might be interesting (and might mean we don't have to focus so much on Panacea):
Those bits were genius.

[no] Deal with the S-class threats of North America in coordination with the PRT and the Protectorate. Then go back to Brockton Bay. They could use some help, as well as some denazifying.
- The S-class threats in North America are the Slaughterhouse Nine and Nilbog. Nilbog is a non-issue since he's content with staying where he is doing effectively nothing. We already have a vote specifically for dealing with the S9. This option is useless at best and a waste of time at worst.
Yeah, I think I was misremembering by blending Dire's backstory and Avatar's.
Kind of sort of but not exactly?
Same character, different incarnation. I've used Checkmate Warren in a lot of things - fanfic series, superhero setting, even as a particularly-effective Sidereal NPC in an Exalted campaign. The version of Checkmate that exists in the Avatar's World isn't the same as the one in "Worm: Time of Perils", but it is a version of the same character.
Should I take that as a compliment? XDYeah, I think I was misremembering by blending Dire's backstory and Avatar's.
Whether Panacea can do it or not, is irrelevant: DINAH won't accept a quick fix for her addiction. Remember that in canon, her power told her she had an enormous chance of getting back into drugs unless she suffered through a very umpleasant rehabilitation.
As for the votes:
If you are not forthcoming with your origin, I don't think you would spend hours relating every single possible thing you can do with your rather versatile powers

Thre is good to do here right now, and you need some time to learn the ways of the locals befor you can star improving things. Not to mention that running blind after Nilbog or the 9 might cause collateral damage
