I'm waiting for the point where someone's unloading an assault rifle in her face util its out of ammo and she just asks "are you done" and the reply being the idiot in question pulling out a handgun then also emptying its mag into her face before saying "now I'm done"

Don't forget throwing the handgun too. Because clearly if an entire AR clip and a full clip of handgun ammo did nothing, throwing the handgun MUST work, right? After all, even Superman dodges the thrown gun. :)
 
Well, Sophia Hess was completely unable to do anything to Taylor. Or escape Taylor's grasp by turning into shadow. So... probably not?

I think the PRT would still like to test it. SS can't hurt Alexandria. Siberian can. Flechette, we know from canon, definitely can. While I expect Juggy can handle Sibby, the moment Taylor set her goal as stopping Siberian, she'd know where Manton was, but this story has been leaning into the (described) humorous pictures, such as those called up with Taylor taking an aerial tour of the Bay via Ka-boom! express, or Skidmark sliding down Max Ander's window.
 
You know, for some reason I'm really interested if anyone its going to do anything about the Eidolon information, cause on one hand, Eidolon is the most powerful Cape on the planet. but on the other hand killing or at least Stopping the Endbringers would be literally the best thing to happen to earth bet. Of course we can go on the way of Eidolon gaining active control of the Endbringers which would be cool but also deeply fucked up cause Eidolon would realize that all the things the Endbringers did were his fault.
 
THe problem will likely take care of itself. After all, since it's in an official record, it will climb the chain slowly, and eventually come to the ears of the top levels. And Eidolon has high enough clearance to be able to ask for an unredacted copy of the record. At which point he makes it easier for Taylor, because he'll come and try to deal with her.

I don't know, for all that Eidolon created the Endbringers he did it most because of self worth issues and not malicious. Dude is an actual hero for all his flaws, I do not think he would try and kill an teenager just cause she said a bad thing about him.

There's a scene in Supergirl's season 2 premier where she and Clark stop a bank robbery and the goons mag dump into them. Then the one tosses his empty pistol and runs up and tries to punch Superman. He says to Supergirl, "I don't get the punching. When the bullets don't work what's the point?"

Superman who has thrown hands with Juggernaut and knocked him on his ass.

The easy answer is that instead of her powers just telling her where Manton is, her powers tell her how to hit Sibby at just the right angle. After bouncing off a number of highly amusing objects, she has a critical encounter with Manton's Van.

Better yet. Can she angle it in just the right way to take out the entire S9 with one Sibby missile?

Since the redaction is specifically to keep it from him personally, presumably while he can ask, his request would have to be approved by the Chief Director, or *maybe* Legend.

I suspect at that point, if not before, it gets discussed in Cauldron - whether or not Eidolon is present for those discussions is probably up to how Alexandria decides to handle things. (If Eidolon is more generally a blind spot than just for Contessa, just "a thinker power said a thing about Eidolon" is probably enough alone for Cauldron to want to look into things, even without the Endbringer connection)

Though maybe before then he goes off half-cocked knowing nothing except that the report originated in Brockton Bay. Though, at least, Eidolon isn't in the direct chain of command, so even him seeing the report at all requires it getting to the point in the process of "we're briefing all the most powerful heroes about this" and whoever's in charge of that deciding not to leave Eidolon out of that meeting.

And then they try throwing a rock.

It's a big rock.
Yeah, but even Batman can deal with having a big rock thrown at him.

The last time I saw someone try to pull an Eyes-Only-Not-Eidolon, he still got a hold of the information because they asked the Think Tank to look at it, and they'd forgotten he also works there.

Of course, the best part is seeing her subvert that trope: Just catch the thing and squeeze while looking at them like they're an idiot.

I don't know, for all that Eidolon created the Endbringers he did it most because of self worth issues and not malicious. Dude is an actual hero for all his flaws, I do not think he would try and kill an teenager just cause she said a bad thing about him.

Not even self-worth issues. Not the way most people mean them, at least.

He gave himself totally over to the idea that he's humanity's best chance to stop Zion, and he wanted "worthy opponents" so he could push himself harder and further, trying to find a breakthrough that would let him live up to that task.

In the end, he's a grimderp mirror of Green Lantern (super versatile do-anything power), with his his focus, commitment, and willpower just making things worse, the same way Alexandria is Superman without the morals, and Armsmaster is Batman/Iron-Man without the unlimited fortune.

I had a character in an RPG who's gimmick was that. He had bad dex but very good strength, so he'd fire the gun to empty but not as the attack action, which would then be the thrown handgun.

But his ego and subconscious might decide he can strengthen his failing powers by fighting Juggernaut instead of fighting endbringers. After all, fighting a worthy foe strengthens his powers... right? Right? It does strengthen his powers, doesn't it? It couldn't possibly do the opposite by causing him to burn through more of the finite source of energy fueling his powers, right?
 
Yet another hazard of being the Juggernaut. There's always, Always some idiot who doesn't believe that you are literally invulnerable, invincible and one short step away from true immortality. Though I guess technically that applies to anyone with such a power set. But being so easily identified both in and out of costume makes it easier to target you. Tay has unfortunately apparently picked up the trait, "may you live in interesting times," if people are already pondering just what they can try to hit her with that would take her out.
 
I now shall predict the summery of the conversation when Eidolon decides to throw down with Taylor:

"Silly girl, i'm Eidolon, i'm invincible!" "You're a loony." "Die" Sound of something energy going poing, then the sound of a rather wet thud. "Well, that's all over" "you mean He's all over now?" "That too."

Some people have no idea what invincible means.

There's a reason it's mentioned in the evil overlord list as not something to call yourself, after all...
 
I've seen an analysis of Eidolon that posits that the issues that lead to the endbringers were more that he wanted a simple, clear-cut, enemy instead of all the "do the wrong thing for the right reasons" stuff he was involved with for once.
 
Eidolon in canon was killed by the horror he felt at being responsible for the Endbringers, at least potentially. After all, even Tattletale isn't certain Zion was telling the truth, though the way the Endbringers started acting after Eidolon's death suggest it was true. His power might take his feelings about Juggernaut's comments as a reason to send the EBs after Juggy. Part of the problem was that his power doesn't give him what he wants or asks for, it gives him what it thinks he needs. Near the end of Worm, we see that he has some level of control over the types of power he's looking for, just not which one he gets.

It's also important to remember that he didn't create the Endbringers. He turned them on. He gave them a set of criteria shaping their behaviour. He did not make them. Depending on how you interpret the future-vision Eden Pathed, they weren't intended to be turned on at all for three hundred years, with them serving the purpose of triggering the final war to start the Cycle. An interpretation I like is that they are terraforming engines that also have built in combat routines, because the Entities don't exactly like mono-taskers.

How would he respond to this particular bit? Unless the author really hates him and wants to do some character bashing, I doubt attacking Taylor would do more than briefly cross his mind. He'd be in serious denial, yeah, and feel offended at even the suggestion that he might be responsible for the EBs. Attack Taylor? No. His ego is large, and the greatest mass murderer in history, but he isn't actually insane, not going by canon.
