Superhumans can't get each other(unless they have a function in their power to allow it) or humans pregnant. We learn this in game. Some monsters are fair game though and we've already knocked up our Elder Monster Sister, Aglaecwif. The tag just wasn't add after this update like the Harem tag hasn't been, even though we have multiple women and more than 2 know about each other.With all the talk of 'my primal need to impregnate' and 'too bad she's on the pill' in a lot of the scenes, I wouldn't be surprised if we see the pregnancy tag pop up one of these days. Possibly with a 'you've been making anti-anticontraceptives subconsciously' as an explanation. I certainly wouldn't mind.
The thing is, technically Michael should be an inferior weapon. As Ella said, he wasn't highly compatible with the 2nd but she gave him the pill anyway. He was originally compatible with the Leigong, who's an 8th Gen that has a 58% origin to the 2nd. It's likely that he'll fall into the same category as Jake, in terms of not getting the Power Trait to it's fullest like the MC and Ella did for the Body Trait.I agree that this is really clever. Ella talks about how a Superhuman's mindset and way of relating to their powers effect how those powers develop. In theory Jake could have gained the ability to "Command" inanimate objects but he just didn't think of his powers that way so it didn't develop that way. Micheal thinking of himself as a weapon and wanting to never rely on an "inferior" weapon could have influenced his powers into making him a walking weapon. Narratively it could also act as brake on his Growth since he may need to break out of that mental mapping to gain more esoteric aspects of the 2nd's abilities
Though, for Michael, it wouldn't be his fault like Jake. It would be because of him not originally being too compatible with it. He'll likely diverge further away from the "True" Power Trait as he progress. He'll still be powerful, as are most Apostle spawns. He just likely won't reach the same height as Ella, Valravn, MC, Alice or Tiffany with the Apostle Trait.
