Going through is ramming him at max speed.
Going up is going to space to regenerate and finish him off where he hopefully is vulnerable.

Oh shit right, the ozone layer blocks radiation so in space Mona regenerates faster! completely forgot about that lol
But unless we can actually make it to the Sun (fat chance that) we have no chance of out-regening him (and he can just incapacitate her by switching focus to construct body, and then capturing the orb instead)?
(Unless the vulnerability effectively instantly cripples him, but if there is one I doubt it is just vacuum - that seems too easy to attempt to exploit and thus would've already been somewhat known?)

I gotta say, I have new respect for Scarlet Maturity. He's still a massive ass, but I always thought he was just a big mercenary brute, like the Hulk if he had no redeeming features. The fact that he was able to cover up the nature of his superpowers this well is incredibly impressive.
Like, Tactile Kinesis to mimic super strength, regeneration, and damage adaptation? That's wild and tell us that he's insanely clever too. Faust may be a corporate mastermind, but it wouldn't surprise me to learn that Scarlet Maturity knows a loophole around his contract.

[X] . . . go through. You have a hyper-dense core. You have enough juice for one light speed dash. Can he survive a direct hit at relativistic speeds? Let's find out.
As a trans woman myself, I just want to give you kudos @Bitterman, you wrote Opale very very well.

If it does rep training and meet the rookies next turn could get her 10 rep.
Also does rewching 10 in a stat givie some sorr of special perk since its softcap?
Ok then I would just like to say that saying that people haven't been trying to outmuscle him is not true. I don't think King or Novalight were holding back when fighting him. There must be a reason King stopped attacking SM after SM survived his attacks... Maybe he really does adapt to damage done to him.
I think fighting him in a prolonged state just plays more to his strengths so one last big super attack has my vote. If he does survive this then the next time we see him I'm gonna vote to throw him outta the dang solar system/into the Frozen Throne.

I'm still riding off the high of being right. I'm vibrating so much I might fall through the floor.

Haven't read the update yet. Looking at the choices, my first instinct is to lean into Novalight's power more over trying to beat Scarlet Maturity in his own game, even if it is outer space.
I never really commented on this, and I admit I only truly started believing @ScorpioSting 's theory by Faustian #2, but for me, what really gave the game away was @Bitterman 's lack of input. I know it could just be that you didn't want to interrupt our theorizing, but I don't know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just thought it was a bit strange you didn't say anything at that very instance.

Thank you!!! That means so much. I've been stressing about getting Opale right for a while now.
Ah sorry dude i vote against the Frozen throne I do not want to see what SM will do to break out and what the throne gets with SM as host

Hmm...I'd say that the theory that Hiver used her deadname to sign the contract with Faust is the most likely reason for Opale being able to break the contract. She didn't truly sign it with the name she views as hers, so she was effectively able to break it at will because she never truly agreed to the contract. A VERY interesting loophole if true, but...also not really one that's all that exploitable, really. Especially since Faust will likely take steps to ensure it can't be done again.
That's fair, maybe it's optimistic of me to think of them cancelling out since the Frozen Throne wants somebody sitting on it always and with SM's regen it won't have to worry about him turning into a husk.

I think it's pretty safe to say now that Scarlet Maturity's drive is to have the best fight of his life, though I can't say for certain if he wants to confirm he's the strongest in the world, or if he wants to commit suicide in a blaze of glory.
I see, that makes sense (in a horrifying way, but still sense).
However, a Throne has a Ruler and also Authority/Crown - I wonder if the rate the Throne expands is based off how long the people sitting there last?
Wouldn't he have been there for Catch-13 incident if that was the case, or try to engineer a Catch-22 incident for that?
[X] . . . go up. You will regenerate faster outside of the Earth's atmosphere. You can survive the vacuum of space. Can he?
So for SM's secret, we already know he adapts to damage. What if he just adapts to challenges in general? He was hitting Mona's core because every time he fails he gets stronger for it.

Maybe Scarlet Maturity has another aspect to his power growth? Maybe he gets stronger with every Metahuman he fights that actually damages him?
Would explain his super-regen coming from King nearly killing him, and why King stopped fighting him. And why Novalight wasn't helping him get stronger: she couldn't pose a threat big enough for his Adaptive Power to kick in.
Basically, what if he's like Crawler/Lung?

can i also just say that I am So Fucking Glad that Rhys didn't bite it right at the end of his first turn as a hero?

Thank god someone suggested his armored form. Maddie would have been devastated to see her big brother-figure die in front of her when she's lost all her blood relatives already.
Rhys has been cursed with a lot of our bad dice rolls. Here's hoping he gets luckier once he's made a full recovery!
Also, really interesting to see that Mona and Maddie both got power-ups in this mission. It seems like young metahumans, whether they're artificial or not, can still develop their powers until they hit a ceiling when they're older like most metahumans do.
Huh. Ramming him at relativistic speeds seems like simply another physical attack, just turned up to 11, and that's very much a strong point of his. On the other hand, it's all fine and well to assume someone's attempted to choke him out before, because it does seem like an obvious thing to have tried. But how would anyone have actually done it in practice? It might actually be new territory for him.

That was me BTW
Also were really choosing wrong targets for handyman to attack. Going for ete would have been better since she doesnt have enhanced senses.
I do think we need to take The Shroud mission next turn to hopefully give handyman some confidence.
