Sooooo, do you think that Joe could build a Gundramon?
Brockton's Celestial Forge (Worm/Jumpchain)

Joe already has the solution to entropy. It's himself.

He'd be more ashamed of losing to Leet. As Leet pointed out on his interlude, he's second-fiddle, but also that makes him better than everyone else other than Apeiron in the eyes of the public.
Considering not one month ago, Leet was a joke, that has got to be burning Armsy more than losing to Apeiron in person.

I just finished checking the power list and that should work. It'd need to do some sort of advanced nuclear transmutation to get around the limits of Joe's Alchemy powers and make it so the resulting junk didn't have any valuable materials remaining(as many forms of tinkertech have), but that'd work otherwise.
Nah. I think I'd rather Joe just ignore internet shenanigans and let his actions speak for themselves like creating and disseminating autodoc drones so conscripts can have their bombs taken out. With payment being the bombs themselves so he can still call himself a mercenary.

I believe the limiter is still there. Only one duplication potion active at a time. It's that as far as the potion limitation is concerned, the clone in the bubble has already been "popped".
The potion works based on whether or not it is active in Joe's body. Joe is the source.
This means that as long the potion runs out in him, he can still duplicate himself, no matter if the other clones are still active or not.
This. There are several LOL inducing moments, but this one struck me the most.

Except Joe cares about public opinion. There are practical reasons for it, true, but the core truth is that Joe still cares what people say about him. That is reason enough for him to work on addressing it in the future.
Should he really care about the nameless masses and internet trolls? The "public" opinion is so fickle. He'd be better to do a PR release and get out of public view for a bit.

I believe they last about an hour. So yeah, the conflict should probably be over by the time Joe uses the duplication potion again at most.
I believe the perk is intended to be as picking one skill of choice.

That's the question isn't it? Should he care?
After all, he's so much powerful than anything short of Scion now that it's scary. Every time he's interacting with the common person, it's like talking to ants. So easy to just do whatever he wants, to run wild without shackles...
-which is the entire thing about Joe. He doesn't want that. He's actively trying to keep himself grounded, to keep himself sane despite his own powers. To not get too carried away. And if part of that means dealing with the more unsavory parts of mankind, then why not? In another perspective, it's nothing but busywork at his level. On another, it's part of human life to deal with your own reputation, to care about the people around you, to not think of oneself as so extraordinary as to be divorced from the rest of mankind.
Quite simply put, he cares. That's what makes him so human. To try and remove that would be to go against who he is.
Classy Contortionist IS the forges contribution to his PR campaign.

Fair enough. Others have said it and I agree that a PHO interlude would be very interesting to see soon.
Outside of Medhall Brocktown Bay's primary source of income is cape tourism. This is one of those situations that make sense in the context but is stupid to those looking in. I can totally see someone doing this from a marketing standpoint promoting the cities cape industry. The city wide broadcast focusing on the only active cape engaging in the situation will definitely blow up in the protectorates face, but what else is new in Brocktown Bay.

Do not underestimate the power of thirst to get people going for you, yep. It's why selling bathwater is a meme.

About the Nine vs Apeiron, I feel like it logically shouldn't happen. Like, if Broadcast pinged The Forge for info, it'd either get info back, in which case it would learn that it's Host had a bit better chance against him than they would against a freaking Endbringer, or it wouldn't and it'd be like, "Jack, my dude, the only people I don't get info from are Scion and the Endbringers, don't fuck with him." It's possible that Broadcast's ability to manipulate other Shards is great enough that it would want Jack to get closer so it could get more of that thicc data, I guess, but how likely is that?
And in the case of the Nine making the mistake of coming in for a visit, do they even have an option other than using Bonesaw to hold the city hostage? Normally Siberian is a really major problem for even the OP Parahumans, but I'm pretty sure that Celestial Bronze should actually be able to do damage to her, particularly if it's enhanced with enough other magical/divine powers. Even if it isn't, I don't think the Siberian is actually fast enough to be likely to kill him in head-on combat. They'd have to be very tricky with her. Set up a big van with a virus dispersal bomb and then project Siberian into it when he gets in to disable it, so she can grant her inviolability to the van so he couldn't escape. Something like that.

Broadcast is probably telling Jack to avoid the shit out of Apeiron because he isn't a normal cape. But I also expect there won't be any doubt that Jack will come eventually.
Hopefully with March as one of the members. Because she should escape this. Bakuda, Lee, and Lung all going down and March, Leet, and Uber all escaping makes sense.

Well here's what Lord said if they tried to take the battle to Joe:
Of course, who doesn't want to see the S9 get absolutely roasted and then dunked on by Joe? it may not even be them visiting, it may just be Joe coming to them.
Also Lord on if what would happen if Joe got Armsmaster's power or good precog protection:

Canon had a meeting of the villains to deal with the ABB situation didn't it? Depending on how this goes what are the chances Joe will be invited to the meeting and take it over without even trying through sheer weight of his presence?
Say, can Joe get shadowclones?
