What if we encounter an enemy our powers aren't effective against?
All I'm saying is don't put your eggs in the same basket, have a backup just in case.
You mean like Eidolon? We can have him both take powers like ours and practice with them and take powers that counter ours and practice against them. And it's not like there is that many abilities that are not weak against us. Mostly flavors of intangibility, power immunity and long range instant attacks with in built targeting such as mind control. Your garden variety city worth of gangs and heroes will usually fold instantly.

Speaking of which, we could create ourself hermetically sealed sphere of hyperdense metal, which would act both as pretty potent ablative armor and means of visual obstruction. If we want to be extra mean, we could have multiple spheres flying around and have opponent try and guess which one we are hiding in. While we are actually hidden underground.

Right as cool as it would be to work with Rebecca if we're in a fist fight we've fucked up something horrible.

Adaption sounds Neat and down that path lead time fuckery.

But this is the one we need to do. there's no one else in Cauldron who can go toe to toe with David or Us so for both of our sakes we need to git good and get used to trowing out the Bigatons of force. we can learn the finer details later let's get a crash course in fighting in the big leagues.
 
Yep, Frequency Control

Just gonna put his out there to be rid of it once and for all: It really isn't. But gravitational waves are a thing and Alex is aware of them and the field in general. Hence the perception.

You've no idea how many times I've had to edit the word chose this chapter...

It could be some kind of Accelerator thing where we can control stuff that affects us. Probably includes powers, at least ones that physically try to mess with us as opposed to PtV.
 
This training basically is a socialising option. You're going to be working to power up yes, but you're going to be meeting and working with people more. You're going to learn about them, talk about their powers and figure out ways to work with them.

Now, you're not going to be stuck with just one person, you're going to be able to spend a bit of the day talking to another person or hanging out. This is just to get your feet under you, so to speak.

Well, if it's a socializing option...

[X] To work with Rebecca. Close combat specialist. With Rebecca, you're going to be learning how to fight up close and personal. Useful for any situation where your powers might be rendered inert.


Sail the ship.

When would we actally use our fists though? if we're in a fist fight then we have failed horribly. save the shiping let's get some useful training done first.

We can learn to fight a variety of different abilities like this.
 
[X] To work with Charles. Adaptation specialist. With Charles, you'll learn about the different aspects of your power, the small little things that might possible. Useful for knowing exactly how many different things you can do.
 
My personal reason for choosing Rebecca was because I'm paranoid we are gonna get stuck fighting an enemy who ignores our powers and if that happens I want a back up.

The shipping is there, but it's a distant second

That can wait untill we learn how to actally fight with our powers. we can learn how to fight with our fists later once we've learned how to actally use our powers in a fight.

We seem to have motor control down, seen with the pencil, and we seem to have a crap ton of power as well, seen with the metal.

We actually seemed to be near telekinetic level control in this update!

Overall control doesn't matter if we can't use our powers, which is what I'm worried about.

I'm more worried about getting practical experience fighting something. David can let us go all out so we can push our powers to see what we can really do and once we see that then we can work on dialing it back to "normal" levels that will not insta kill everyone around us.

Ima point out the number of people who can cancle our powers is... None IIRC. at worst we have to retreat a bit so we can crush a Tinker tech device with a projectile. even people like Siberain who can be imune to Physics can be harmed by us or at the very least we can BFR them and we have Hero on hand who can do stuff about super hax people that we can't fight against.

Sorry mate, still got my paranoia, so I can't shake the fear that it might happen.

which is more likely?

a very strong normal foe?

or a normal human level guy who just so happens to LOLNOPE our ability? and if we did run into such a person what's stoping them from just shooting us?or hell having another cape on hand to kick our ass.

Learning the full extent of our powers would probably be the best starting point.

Also, I want to see the full power of Eidolon in his prime. :D
