Ah, I see you too are a man of culture. I had every reason to believe it, but it's good to have it confirmed.

I think it's just personality, honestly. Black Swan impressed him, and I got a sort of "damn, if she's this powerful with only a few years of experience [intern cover story], how good will she be in a few more?" vibe from him.
He wants a good fight, and Black Swan will be a lot more fun with more experience under her belt.
I didn't get the impression he was meaningfully tired by regenerating, he could've kept fighting.
Well atleast the chance if Power null getting reverse engineered is low.
Blue module needed stage connection and were power extensive so im glad he got something out of exceed apart from that.

Do we have any strong thoughts on the "Lie about Scarlet Maturity having boosted Petit Prince" idea now with more information and testimony to use?

Alright, it feels like there's some confusion with some newer users, so I should clear a few things up before somebody else asks a question that I, Bitterman, or any of the questers that have been here since Month 1 really don't want to answer for the hundredth time.
In this quest, there are multiple types of fan content. They range from small to extremely comprehensive, and all of them get rewards from Bitterman if they're good. (Which they usually are) There's a few.
Candidate Sheets
Started by me, but I think at least ten users have submitted theirs. These are sheets that echo what a candidate to receive Ambrosia would be in this quest (which are then subject to change by Bitterman, of course). Then, if we take the Global Action Justice Unlimited Wants You or any other candidate gaining actions, there's a chance that they'll appear from the random table.
You can put in your OCs, or characters from one of your own Quests. Just please don't have them be characters from established mainstream or somewhat well known media. (RPG characters that you played are fair game, however.) Also, they should max out at 7 Tolerance, and get worse stats the more you up Tolerance, and vice versa.
Rewards: Possible side character in Justice Unlimited, assuming the dice roll right.
Recruit Sheets
Different, but similar to candidate sheets. These are closer to Maddie or Opale— fully fledged metahumans that could join Project Prometheus in the future. So far, there's been two: my Jun Akimitsu (who I need to rewrite when I get the time) and @chickenbouillon's Franz, who I think is currently a Wonderland villain.
Rewards: Possible character that'll join Justice Unlimited or be an independent metahuman.
Ambrosia Builds
During hero creation, multiple plans are posted for what we want to put in the sample of Ambrosia that we wish to inject a candidate with. (Refer to the Ambrosia section of Mechanics for the exact details). As a hobby of sorts, whenever you see the conversation turn to goldnine or new DNA samples, you see people putting up hypothetical combos of those DNA samples.
Examples:
Iron Sights
Chimera
Know-It-All/ 2000/20 Vision
Rewards: Mechanically, none. But it's good to hypothesize on how the DNA we combine will be interpreted by Bitterman. Also, I put some of the ones I like on the Corkboard. (See below)
@Arcus has also made a more up to date collection of builds here.
Omakes
Omakes, also known as "fanfiction of this quest". These either fall into either Canon, Somewhat Canon, or Not Canon. Depends on the QM's judgement.
Omakes can be as long as you want (we had a 3k Omake once) or as short as you want. (@ScorpioSting wrote a 320 word Omake once.) The only condition is that you have to make it:
Non Canon (But Still Really Really Good):
A Number Greater Than Zero
Corporate Greed
Canon (And Extremely Well-Written):
Potential Energy (If you only want to read one Omake, read this!)
SolarGemX's Behind The Hero Series (Pt 2, Pt 3)
Rewards: A plus one to any roll, which is stackable and storable, and which we the voters can choose to apply before the update drops.
The Corkboard
Made by yours truly. Essentially, this is a big conspiracy board which I update when I've got the time. I also store some combos there for easy reference. If you've got something you think that I should add, DM me and I'll copy-paste it in.
On a side note, a confusion of the type of post which was right to use was why I didn't really like this candidate…
Since he already has all that crazy tech despite being… just a dude. With a wife and a kid, no other backstory given. It would make more sense for him to be a psychic Metahuman that we can hire, like some sort of budget Valiant Silver. A Recruit Sheet instead of a Candidate Sheet.

- Actually try. Don't try and cheese the system with five different 200 word Omakes. You're not funny if you try that.
- ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE AI. If you don't care enough to write something yourself, then we won't care enough to read it.

Hey I don't know if this has been asked but can Medicant or any of the other Healer capes cure a Rebound?

Nope. And people have tried.

Uh, random thought but... Did Maddie ever apologize to Worker's Mitt for the damage she caused? Could she plead temporary insanity through Petit Prince?

I'd be against it, mainly because we don't have a concrete lead on who boosted Petit Prince yet and we'll want to publicize that when we do learn of it.
I don't want 2 competing narratives. New Dawn has a different suspect, probably someone part of that shadow council, so let's sniff that one out instead.
honestly it might be Star we know shes next to make a move brining Fish and sun with her.
Btw Stockpile thinks that VS meese around with things she didnt really understand with exceed.
But funny enough exceed was basically a prototype which just clued VS in on the other psychics like Hand and Lantern thkugh Im not sure if they knew about her too. Its possible hand and lantern knowing about vs is part of why their using her as scapegoat.
Couse if Stockpile actuacky manages to enter the Backstage hed sense them since thwyre pretty much along with valkyrie and leviathan the strongest psychic in the world.
Its a question of Dynamiyes effect but a way to clear JU name to him would be bring him into the stage like Mona did when VS used exceed and reveal who the strongest psychics are.

On Fanworks pt. 2 (second half of post)
Antaeus is an interesting choice for the double invulnerability. But Zeno's power set is already very defensive and has an unconditional invulnerability, so buffing that doesn't seem as important as the offense. For the same 3 potency we have access to a budget Fundamental Force Manipulation synergy that I feel will be better for offense than Energy Manipulation 1x or 2x. For example (the final 1 potency hero can be swapped out to taste):
You missed one more type of submission:
DNA Profiles
These describe the power sets and possibly the stories of dead metahumans to be used in hero creation. See our existing Ambrosia DNA Samples section in the organization sheet for examples. They are submitted to Bitterman privately through DMs and are not guaranteed to be added. Unlike other submissions, they are limited to 1 per person. Regardless, you can feature your submission in a public omake.
Rewards: Possible DNA sample for the Prometheus Project.

I guess I should give an outline of my plan so that it makes more sense:
Firstly, we start with testimony regarding the improvement of Powers's... Powers, via Mona and Leizi for Earth Owl, and then everyone for the Seasons couple.
Opale gives testimony on how Faust and SM do this, what happened when she met them.
Then, we got them with bombshell 1: That SM consumes how partners like a parasite in order to grow in strength and regenerate. He's a hero killer.
Then, Maddie takes the lead, giving testimony on Le Petit Prince's attack. Leizi provides facts on the speed increase, with help from testimony from the sadly deceased Dr. Ibis.
We put it together: Powers made a contract with LPP in order to I create an unsolvable situation that only they could resolve, to make a monopoly.
Powers has two options:
1. Release their contract list to reveal that no, they don't power him up. This costs them infosec.
2. They plead the fifth and stay quiet. This costs them goodwill and PR.

Did I not say good jobs and +1? Because good job and +1!
Thank you for writing this out! Have a +1 as it is all I have to give.
Likewise! +1!

I still don't see the sense in trying to tie Powers to Petit Prince. Casting Scarlet Maturity as a Hero Killer and everyone else in Powers as his victims is a big enough reputation hit for Dominion Security Concerns without us muddying the waters with a lie especially when that lie will get in the way of revealing to the world the 2nd power booster in existence if we ever want to do so.
Best keep that door open in case we need it depending on how things develop.
Justice Unlimited became the leading superhero org because they didn't play political games like this. I would rather we keep to tradition in this matter.

I guess that's fair. I just was thinking that Leizi's spy expertise would extend to making a convincing, damning lie, and I want to play PR war a bit.
