Oh right, I was thinking. Why don't we have Ellie blow open the whole magical girl issue on live television?

I thought of that as well !

Use a "what we've been doing recently" to introduce Noelle, describe what happened while omitting the most confidential stuff, and mention Ronin attacked us when we asked Crusade for help.
 
With the whole thing about Rebound it now makes a lot more sense why Iblis was like 'I am willing to work with you but by god I am not going to Rebound for you guys to get superpowers faster' and how it's the one thing that makes him serious

True, but you think that the country that literally invented the concept of superheroes would be a bit better. I'm not talking about politicians btw I'm talking about comic book nerds and anime weebs that would jump head first into superheroics. (Maybe they moved to Japan/Canada or created New America)

The collapse of the Leviathan really fucked things up and it seems things have gotten even worse with the Liberty Tower fiasco.

Also a bunch of nerds are sadly also reactionaries.

I just realized that Valiant Red, White and Blue is even more cringeworthy a name than it would seem from our perspective.

Like, from ours it's mawkish (but standard enough) patriotism combined with disrespecting the dead, but in universe America is actually currently a Christofascist nation.

So it'd be like if one of those "Nazi Victory" Third Reich's had a super-empowered Captain Swastika show up.

Hmm, that gives me an idea...

[X] Valiant GREEN BLACK AND ORANGE
[X] Whatever VRW&B's costume looks like, but with those colours instead
[X] A hand (in green black & orange) giving the middle finger to the CF-America flag

We also need to call RW&B "my loathsome copy" whenever he shows up
 
Side note, when thinking about Rebound: Osayin managed to at least live long enough that Yazmin was able to see him on his deathbed. Even if he was a shell of himself because of Rebound, he still lived long enough to talk with a grandchild.

Maybe 'sharing' an Algernon is supposed to be more, like, metaphorical than literal. He 'shared' his work, which saved lives and treated diseases, because he wanted to help people. Maybe that staved off the Rebound until he decided to work on his 'passion project', after which the Rebound came for him because it saw it as selfish.

Metahuman powers emerge before your twenties, and Osanyin died before New Dawn was formed (which going by the ages we currently have means the OG New Dawn was active for like 6 months and that Uiara has perfect recall of stuff that happened when she was a baby)

He was also Japanese and anti-capitalist as hell!

That would explain it.

I mean the obvious answer is "video log intended for whoever broke my code", the thing Nora helped her with.

The thing is that the fake message during PREVAIL implies that Yazmin knew her grandad in person and was able to observe his deterioration due to the Rebound.

Orrrr, it's possible Osayin was declared legally dead before his actual death, and spent his last few years secluded by his son after he hit the Rebound.

Doesn't Stockpile's interlude state he's not even a US citizen? I'm skeptical he's even been to the US which makes it all the worse.

He's literally waving the flag and trying to be Captain America for a fascist country he's not even a citizen of. I wonder if after unwittingly selling his soul to be the lapdog of a country he hasn't even tried to understand if they finally relented and let him stand on the Embassy's carpet.
