Nice of you to explore the history of each character and how their trigger happens and how it shapes their personality

Nah, it's better if he keeps his mouth shut esp since everybody 'knows' why he did it. Let everybody have their own conclusions and every reason is tailor made for the person with no effort on his part.
any connection? I know that Leet was inspired by Sleeper's power but Wildbow didn't really say what the power was.
Is the shard being influenced by March's emotions or is March completely gone and the shard is emulating how to be human not perfectly?

Her mind is entirely on her shard at this point which is how she's piloting her body.
Sleeper's power appeared in Wards, Sleeper using it to (MAJOR SPOILER)Kill the Simurgh. You can find details on the Wiki page.
Basically her shard "fixed" her like how you would fix a car from using it's blueprints. Only in this case the damage was so severe that you end up using parts from a junkyard, lost the original blueprint and had to use glue/solder parts together to make the car viable. Resulting in a janky but still technically runnable vehicle that's nowhere near the original.

Does every gang and their grandma have a freaking Annihilation cape now? It seems like everyone is getting their hands on the one thing that can actually hurt Apeiron these days... Hopefully that new method he whipped up will actually work and completely no-sell any attempts, like he thinks it will.

I mean, all of these annihilator capes are canon, and all of them either lived in Brockton Bay (Scrub) or operated in the Bay at some point (Flechette, March) or were within a few hours travel of the Bay (Damsel). So it's not unrealistic that they'd be present.

Actual pretty effective, wildbow states that his power was one of the few that could open a portal to scions proper body.
It also operates on dimensional mechanics so Joe's immunity to transmutation won't apply.
But that's if he gets hit, Joe has prepared a set up so that he is never in a situation where he can be caught unaware again.

Oh, neat! Didn't know that last bit, I thought only Sting could reach his main body.
Guess Roentgenium Tarsier will have to just follow Mr. Piccolo's maxim and just learn how to DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE!

Damsel is also in the same category, though Joe is partily to some of her power, {her power is basically 3 to 5 anaihlator powers wrapped together} but if he gets a piece of the material byproduct from her power he will be completely immune
Even if Apeiron manages to use something to render himself immune to the "portal cut" aspect (and, there are materials in the Forge that will permit that, especially when combined with Fashion), it doesn't render him immune to the "portal" aspect; rather than sending Apeiron's head to another dimension to kill him, Scrub could just send Apeiron to another dimension in his entirety, and leave him to figure a way to work his way back.
Especially since, if the Key is in the Workshop Door to allow his AIs WiFi access, it might not count as "lost or stolen", so it won't return to him, meaning he'll have (slightly) limited resources to work with. And returning would mean Dimensional Tech, which is pretty much an automatic Kill Order, after Professor Haywire's various misadventures…

Joe has access to dimension items, Lord confirmed that Joe got Daedalus student he could build alt dimensional item, also would still be able to get his workshop

Every time Lord update I read the latest chapter 3-4 times. I often miss something when I read it the first time.
The Workshop is Fiat-Backed as not being accessible without either his key or another Fiat-Backed method of dimensional access that overrides that restriction (Deadalus' Student might qualify there, but the examples LR used previously explicitly mentioned Dimensional Access in their Forge Perk descriptions). And, if his Key is on Earth Bet, in a door lock, then it might not return to him on Earth not-Bet, because it is neither lost nor stolen — and, since no one else can remove it from the lock, it effectively can't be lost or stolen.
As for Joe already having the ability to produce Dimensional Tech: the PRT don't know that yet, so won't have taken it into account. Glory Girl might think that he does, after March's vandalism, but that wasn't actually a dimensional portal. Joe might not even realise yet that he can do such a thing. However, returning from another Earth using tech that he built himself would pretty obviously indicate to the authorities that he had such capabilities.
At which point, Cauldron would panic hard, about which of their secret bases he'll find, or what skeletons he'll drag out of their closets.

I still think that Joe cannot be locked outside the Workshop even without his Workshop Key. I think by fiat his Workshop Key will somehow be with Joe even if something happens to his key and surrondings.
Gumiho
Reach heaven through violence!
Yes this is how it works, as per the very first chapter. He cannot lose access to his key forever.
Here's the actual entry on the key:
If we take that literally, that means he won't be able to enter the Workshop unless having the key keep a door open in a dimension you can't easily access counts as it being lost or stolen. Which might just depend on how he wants to perceive it. If he did get it back, that would mean that the door closed as the key's no longer keeping it open. That would also cause him to lose a potentially simple way to get back to Earth Bet, as now he would need to shift through an obscene number of dimensions to find Earth Bet. Or just follow the energy signature left behind by the power that left him there, depending on how it works.

I'm having Animaniacs flashbacks. This could be a Godpigeon bit.
Tybalt: "Meow."
Apeiron: Tybalt says, "When I say jump, you jump, and if you're too stupid to know how high without me telling you, that's your problem."

This made me have a weird thought.
From what I understand, a large part of her erratic behavior is her desperately trying to disguise how awkward and clumsy she is. This lead to me connecting this to over the top tsundere behavior. One of those ones who's easily embarrassed and reacts with extreme violence.
Now here's where it gets stupid.
She finds herself unwillingly impressed with Joe and at a point where she has everyone's attention and she's supposed to concentrate on looking scary she blurts out "I want your babies!" Mortified she blows up her sitting area and leaves a DoD shaped hole in the wall where she bolted.

Are people just calling Joe, iron ape to stop calling him Apeiron, The Enigmatic Artificer. If they are I want that to be in story as well it would be funny people would just stop calling him Apeiron, The Enigmatic Artificer and call him ape iron or metal monkey.

Imagine if it doesn't work.
If you are talking about Apeiron, then The Enigmatic Artificer gets automatically inserted in. Even if you tried to circumvent it by 'Iron Ape'.

When did we collectively decided to stop calling him Apeiron, The Enigmatic Artificer, and use a different moniker every time he is mentioned?... I love it!
I started reading a quest the other day with this theme "A Shard's quest for Data!" , except the relationship is the exact oposite.
What Monohierro, El Artífice Enigmático has to do is combine those 2. I'm imagining a scene where they are about to enter Somer's Rock and suddenly Garment communicates that under NO circumstances she will accept entering such a decrepit place, that her designs entering that "establishment" is a total affront to her friendship, and since Joe really wanted to enter at precisely seven o' clock he realizes it will be faster to humor her than convince her. So he pops some quick alchemical restructuring, that coupled with all the million powers he has turns the 'shitty dive bar' into a masterpiece of alcoholic purveyance.
Or to make a quick and dirty omake, from the POV of the villains inside:
His clock marked 6:59:55.
"In a few seconds someone would make a power play, inevitably someone would try to arrive on the exact second. There was always a kind of fool that tries to make an statement with that kind of entrance, specially with a meeting with so many important ramifications as this one" contemplated Max Anders while staring at the door with a fake air of disinterest.
6:59:58 informed the numbers on the digital clock over the front door and just a moment before a new thought could begin to form, a red crisscrossing electricity seemed to flow from the walls, moving with a speed that didn't allow for any kind of response. In less than half a second the crimson death lightning had surrounded the whole building, clearly signaling the end of all things for those within it.
And before anyone had the time to act, it was gone.
At the same moment a strong rush of air dramatically forced open the ornate, beautifully crafted door (what?), the soft tranquil light from the chandeliers (WHAT!?) and exquisite wall mountings (WHEN?) impeccably illuminated the figure at the door, just as the unfathomably ancient and detailed wall mounted timepiece (WHY?) marked seven deep soul crushing bells, the figure gave one step in the astounded silence, adopting an imposing and carefree attitude that spoke of untold power and infinite menace (ohgod) .
- "Oh. Good. I was afraid I was running late."
The Enigmatic Artificer had arrived.
Wait, when was it mentioned that the Shard is influencing Uber beyond the "Seschen range" thing?
More like an Outside Context Problem for me... Macaco de Ferro is the literal definition of it
