Sounds like a great going-away present for 🐭MOUSE PROTECTOR, a little something to remember Alchemist by.
Practicality-wise, I'd recommend either [Temporal Perfection] and/or [Healing Aura]. For mischief and chaos, just imagine MP with [Titan of Light] from Lustrum.

?!?!The answer is: So much it wraps back around to negative values.
I would have thought that the Master Powers would come into play more during this little snippet.
Everything that "Human Resource Management" suggests that it can do would work against Cauldron even if it's just to passively track them/prevent them from tracking our hero.
Or some other creative way that's not a curbs stomp….

Honestly without Cauldron intentionally shitting the bed to try to spawn more capes and keep a bunch of terrible ones active Bet has a chance of improving. They had a flawed method that they believed in, now they have to use judgement which forces them to take ownership of the decision and the fallout. Their restrictions effectively sabotage development of a healthy super landscape (so they could maintain control) and make it so current non-violent capes can't leverage their skills in independent business without some crazy legal team (if cauldron doesn't just kill them or destroy their life enough to stop them).
How much control over endbringers does Alec intend to get off Eidolon? His presence is a deterrent for crime but honestly I expect Alec to ramp quickly enough returning David to baseline human or de-powered basket case just smooths things right out. It's not like Cauldron was really solving all the S class threats around North America. Plus with their love of secrecy they'd probably hide what happened for a few months anyway.

I can understand not killing Doormaker, but why he didn't leave Alexandria and Eidolon crippled, as well as killing Fortuna I don't understand.
Well, it sounds like Contessa was able to convince him to going along with it using a lot of fast talk. Remember that her PTV allows her to achieve a goal to the point of being a virtual deus ex mecha, and of the Triumvirate only Eidolon is immune to her, so it's quite possible she had to do a lot of convincing with her power and tell a bunch of lies and half-truths.

Hmmm on one hand, they did keep the earth stable- not good mind you but stable, the loss of path could have bad effects.
On the other hand you are right in that they will now have to start using their heads and own judgment to do things, without the path to rely, that absolute that ptv gave, they cant afford to do dumb crap and think it will be fine cause path.
This could lead to better judgment and decision making without sabotage from abaddon.
Thats if they dont fall to despair, they did just loose both founders of Cauldron after all.
Still hoping fortuna will recover.
Ultimately what was even the point of killing her? Saving Teacher was exactly the same kind of decision as saving Manton, so all keeping him out of the loop apparently did was let him sleep better at night.
Like, I think part of what people in the thread are reacting to was that it seemed like a commitment to principles that he has now thoroughly abandoned.

For over penetration couldn't alchemist just add an effect onto his Omni-tool that gets rid of it?
I.E:
Correct Penetration (idk)
Bullet will never Over Penetrate! As a bonus the bullet will stop at the perfect place! For example if your shooting in a space station the bullets will stop rig ur before hitting the wall protecting you from the void, or a High Explosive Bullet will explode in the center most part of whatever you shoot.
Here's some other effects:
Splash Damage (Shaker)
You want to shoot out a bullet with a special effect? Well now that special bullet will effcet those around it even if they didn't get hit, plus explosive bullets will have a greater effect.
Phase Rounds (Mover? Changer?)
Ever in a situation where you want to hit one specific thing but you can't afford to destroy the scenery or hit what's in front of it? Well with this little enchantment Bullets (and the damage they cause) is only applied targets meaning you can shoot someone through the head and the bullet will just phase right on through. Doesn't apply to air drag.

Time of reluctance.
@Mister Ficser, the chapter 92 character sheet has been mis-categorized...
Alec has been cleaning up a bunch of large threats and killing Jack should have bought them a few more years. Didn't his conversation with Legend give them a hint he knew more about the biggest threats than they did and he didn't think it was completely hopeless. I also don't recall him ever killing a hero. To me those actions don't scream clueless villain ushering an early apocalypse especially when he indicates how much he's aware of.
Yes he is a random dude as far as they're concerned BUT he's a random guy with a tremendous grab bag of unprecedentedly strong power that has been eliminating some of the worst criminals.
That Cauldron didn't perfect cryogenic storage in the back of their clubhouse and chuck 90% of the criminals there is baffling. No way in hell is Jack Slash or the Butcher a net positive in terms of creating capes. Heartbreaker and teacher might have been but even if you've got your own master you'll never trust anyone that they've been close to. If you don't want your rabid mountain lion to get shot don't let him out of your yard. Since Cauldron isn't vital and them giving up feels like it'd count as a defeat there's less need to consider their sensibilities.
TLDR; Cauldron has reasons to not immediately spiral into depression but if they do I'm not going to be too broken up about it. If Alec had a significantly worse powerset then I'd be more concerned.

They could actually do very little to those two.
Well maybe ptv could have done something to butcher, but if butcher was captured after a while the shard would just jump to the nearest parahuman.
Jack they couldnt do shit, his shard out haxs Contessa, he was pretty much free to do wtv the hell he wanted.
I still haven't gotten around to reading Ward, is this canon?
I thought The Butcher was still boxed after the end of Worm, was it free during Ward?

From what I heard the butcher shard tried to make its own network of shards or smt like that. Idk about that since I am less interested in ward.

I'm pretty sure that a very small group guiding (because they think that they know best) what's happening across the world without the knowledge or consent of the population is, as a matter of fact, a dictatorship.
Of course, they can't really tell people what's happening and start a general resistance because that may cause Scion to go full omnicidal.
So of course the best course of action is to pick a fight.
That's... Cauldron in a nutshell.
What's the worst possible way to go about getting what we want? We'll do it that way.

Pretty sure none of them care about that, most of the things they do around the world is to keep it from going full on madmax but with powers.
They really dont have the time or motivation to rule over people like that.

He has a quest. A single quest from Gaia. His rewards are gaining the power of any shards or Parahuman hosts he kills. There are hidden objectives he is rewarded for if he unlocks them

Both Devour and cannibalize are not listed anywhere?
Eh, a combination of grid square removal, thermobaric bombs, tinker sniper rifles wielded by PRT field guys, and light based powers/weapons feels like it'd do the job if Cauldron wanted it bad enough. Find the small moving void with a crawler sized object concealed, wait until they're asleep, drop enough bombs and the fireballs and pressure waves should kill/incapacitate manton (even if cauldron doesn't know this). It won't be a complete S9 wipe but it should be enough to kill Jack up until he gets Bonesaw enhancements. As long as the planes don't use Godzilla tactics (fly super low and slow) then their risk isn't nuts.
