Spitfire had often complained that having a power based around creating flame meant you faced two kinds of opponents.
Oh hey, Spitfire! This ought to be interesting. Despite her appearing in Interlude 5, we know next to nothing about her.
There were the people who burned, who were the majority. Civilians fell into this category.
That is an unfortunate side effect, yes.
So considering we’re following Spitfire and talking about burning, is this the Interlude in which we meet Burnscar?
Unless the person with the power was amoral, which Spitfire wasn’t, this actually wound up being a detriment, because of the easy possibility of life altering injuries, death and scars.
Yeah, that can be a problem.
And then on the other hand, we have people who don’t burn, people the power is useless against, right?
The kind of thing that brought heroes down on the villain’s head in full force.
Like Taylor was worried about Regent’s body control doing to the Undersiders.
The second group was the foes who didn’t burn. People in armored suits with enough covering, people with forcefields, people with foreign materials either forming or surrounding their bodies, the list wound up being fairly long.
People who burn by default and don’t take damage from it… People who can control fire and prevent it from burning themselves, maybe even turn it against you… People who are just generally fire resistant…
“Spitfire, run!” Faultline ordered.
I take it you’re up against one of those latter enemies right now?
