Burnscar was more sensitive, in many respects. She had to be managed, provoked or set up to use her power so she remained in a more dangerous mindset.
We haven’t really heard much about Burnscar since Interlude 11c, but I still like the setup we’ve got with her power being addictive and her being stuck among the Nine. It’s quite tragic, for better or worse.
Too much one way, and she became depressed and scared, vulnerable. Too much the other way, and she became reckless, potentially attacking him or one of the others and sparking disaster.
A careful balance, especially since she actually has a motivation to attack the others on the team.
Mannequin had his mission. Few things bothered him as much as seeing someone try to help others and succeed where he had catastrophically failed.
Ahh, right. That would be why he was so interested in stopping the relief efforts.
To keep Mannequin in line, Jack could remind Mannequin of who he had once been. A simple casual utterance of the name ‘Alan’ served as effectively as a slap in the face to someone else.
Yup, that’s about what I thought.
He rarely needed such considerations; Mannequin was predictable, manageable.
Would you say he’s easily manipulated, perhaps, like an action figure?
