Rogue — because of his power to absorb memories.I'm curious, what are people's Superhero names for MC?
The MC is actually quite smart by all indicators, he's just generally lazy. He only comes into his own when he gets his powers and applies himself to perfection with them.Mine will always and forever be "Not [characters regular name]" i feel like that emphasizes his intelligence
Venom hes basically a walking symbiote.I'm curious, what are people's Superhero names for MC?
I went for No-Thing, tried to headcanon it as MC saying their superhero name was nothing and it becoming their name. And I thought it sort of fit with how he doesn't have a set form anymore, his default form could be a pile of shit if his internal self image was terrible enough
But yeah what did others choose and why?
True he actually go out of his way to do shit i love how his mentality shifted once he got powersThe MC is actually quite smart by all indicators, he's just generally lazy. He only comes into his own when he gets his powers and applies himself to perfection with them.
Very much a case of 'I don't know what to do with my life' right up until he meets Ella.
Typhon, for I will become the King of Monsters.I'm curious, what are people's Superhero names for MC?

some people just know exactly what they want out of lifeTyphon, for I will become the King of Monsters.
mine is Shadow because it sounds cool (not because he's bla-) and it's quite funny how my name is the same as a dog.I'm curious, what are people's Superhero names for MC?

I'd say he has a good "fight" IQ but no he's not quite smart. He has also "not applied himself to perfection" in terms of his powers as there are others who have progressed just as or faster than him in terms of growth with their powers such as met (or any twins, or the superhuman "exception" who got to level 5 in a month) so would they be applying themselves beyond perfection?The MC is actually quite smart by all indicators, he's just generally lazy.

I suck at naming so I named him Alex Mercer and Black Morph.I'm curious, what are people's Superhero names for MC?

My dude really explained how dumb MC is, it's quite admirable as it is annoying, how you talks down to our MC but eh ok.I'd say he has a good "fight" IQ but no he's not quite smart.

Every one of MCs high school friends think it's werid that MC is going to R&X, MC openly admits it's only because of his daddy (blackmail), he falls asleep in class and has been doing so for YEARS, and then you have all the examples of stupidity in game like him 100% convinced amber was a camgirl because "Blue fingernails", most of the "smart" (beating valravn honorably, not getting caught in sin infiltration etc) are player choice dependent and shouldn't be attributed to every single MC (like corruption)
Edit: Also without stupid dumb luck (syla being MC mom while also being connected to an apostle that can help you train while drugged up) MC is missing 1/3rd to 1/4th of his power (or whatever 120/your power is) that really doesn't seem like he's getting all his power through "him applying himself"
The thing is "our" MC are not the same? Anything that is directly tied to a choice cant be said to "be a trait for MC" if choosing the other option results in something else.My dude really explained how dumb MC is, it's quite admirable as it is annoying, how you talks down to our MC but eh ok.
Not only was MC literally called smart in-game several times, but Met is the only other superhuman who has had his power for a similar amount of time and reached a similar level of power, though that is not to say he is stronger than MC, he is just a perfect counter to him. Twins are literally cheaters; if MC could evolve like twins, he would be at level five right now, it's not right to compare twins to regular superhumans. And the exception (Henri) said he evolved multiple times in a row, which is not how that usually works, and as far as we know has nothing to do with how the superhuman applied themselves, so calling that luck is pretty fair.I'd say he has a good "fight" IQ but no he's not quite smart.

And MCs intelligence is called into question multiple times as well, can you name a few examples of times MC is called smart that aren't reliant on a choice? I'm not doubting you I just can't recall them as easily as his dumbbrain moments.Not only was MC literally called smart in-game several times, but Met is the only other superhuman who has had his power for a similar amount of time and reached a similar level of power, though that is not to say he is stronger than MC, he is just a perfect counter to him.

I'm not saying MC is Deryl levels of smart, but cmon, he is by no means stupid. He does not apply himself perfectly, but then again no one does.
Agree with everything but wasn't mc trained by his dad during his younger years.Mayhe you were only talking about real life combat rather than sparring and training.I generally disagree with all the ideas that MC is dumb. Even if he is saying dumb things at time and doesn't have a mind for academics, he is quick on the uptake and he has strokes of genius.
In all the flashbacks to his earlier years he is very sharp. The amount of self reflection is very uncharacteristic of his age and he is very savvy. He also has very good control of his emotions and knows how to survive on his own. If I had to rate him only as a kid, I'd even call him a genius. ( I also fully relate with his ability to sleep in class and get "good" grades. I was also a long haired class sleeper with good grades ^^ )
As far as post-infection intelligence is concerned:
1. Despite having 0 combat experience, he quickly adapted to the challenges without much time to prepare.
2. He is very good at applying his powers in out of combat stuff, like playing poker.
3. He managed to keep his identity hidden despite being exposed to so much publicity, as a direct result of his preparation.
4. His approach to fighting Jake was genius and he went into it with the disadvantage of not knowing the extend of his powers while Jake knew about him both from Ella and all the videos of his superhero persona.
5. His mantis punch which was catalytic against Valravn was the result of tinkering and engineering. He adapted foreign physiology to his own in a way that it's not just effective but absolutely fearsome to face.
Despite how "simple" MC may seem at times, his way of fighting is complex and he employs multiple tactics, making him a very difficult enemy to face even without the regeneration. It's technical and precise, even if he has to rely on his regeneration to overcome his lack of experience. A simple guy would just build a big fist. MC's approach was far more methodical.
