Kid Win nodded, a little too quickly.
“He was the first real tinker, you know.”
What do you mean by “real”?
And are you sure? Surely there were plenty of parahumans you didn’t find out about, even back then when triggering was new and exciting and prone to creating news stories.
“Before we knew tinkers have specializations,” Kid Win added.
“I’ve thought about it. The disintegration gun, the jetpack, the sonic weapons, the power sources and explosives that were surprisingly effective for their size.
I remember someone asked me about Kid Win’s specialty after his chapter of Sentinel. At the time I speculated that it was the relatively broad “manipulation of energy”.
And honestly, all these examples Legend lists here seem to support that.
I’m just worried it’s too broad. If you get technical, you can make “manipulation of energy” cover just about everything. Hardly a specialty at that point.
I suspect his specialty tied into manipulating and enhancing wavelengths and frequencies.”
Oh, he was talking about Hero’s specialty, not Kid’s. Of course, that makes much more sense.
Wavelengths and frequencies… so electromagnetic energy, pretty much. Though not only that – any kind of wave, which is where the sonic weapons and explosives (shockwaves) come in.
I wonder how similar Kid’s power is?
