You know, I think Michael might not have radiation power but the power of the
SUN
I mean, it's just my guess, but Michael Monster parent was coming down bringing light and all that stuff, you know.

Maybe people talked about it and I just don't notice, or I did notice, but my attention span and memory are kind of shit.
Well, the Sun is actually a big-ass thermonuclear reactor. The only reason the sun doesn't kill us is beacouse we're at a safe-ish distance. So the power of Sun and radiation totally checks out from science point of view.
Anyway,
I am quite intrested in more of the mind-fuckery aspect of MC power. When you think about it, he practiced mindreading at the start of the game a little bit, and then he completly stopped in favour of training his transformations. We didn't see anything more on it since.
Previously we thought that 3rd and 4th have the same power, but that doesn't really check out. After all, Ella does not seem to have mind-reading powers, and she have the same monster parents. For me it seams that Ella only inherited power from Daddy 3th, while MC got a mixture of powers from Daddy 3rd and Mommy 4th. And that their powers complement each other. Maybe they somehow borrow each other powers? In the initial encounter 4th starts with mindfuckery while not even touching us, while 3rd starts with tentacles.
If that's so, why shouldn't MC be able to get better at mind-reading if he starts practicing it again? Maybe he could read minds without even touching his victim? Maybe he could get specific informations like plans of building without eating a poor guy that knows it? Maybe he could learn specific skills like flying a plane or using complex machinery by staling that skill from someone?
Or maybe he could even use that in combat, to read the mind of his enemy and learing what move he's gonna use?
Another topic is stealing other superpowers. It does seem like MC could have potential to do it. He can pretty much perfectly copy a normal human. If he consumes somebody, it is implied that he could completly replace that person.
Now for superhumans. The only superhuman so far that the MC tried to Mimic is Oscar. So we can do that. MC obviously didn't try to use his powers, if he copied his body than maybe?
Obviously, it seams that superhumans are a bit more that just people with funny bodies. I think there's a certain energy in them that powers their abilities, and MC can't mimic a dark power or whatever. Yet.
As I'm already writing a long post, I'll also shame my thoughts about electricity.
My theory: Electricity is MC weekness for now, but it won't be forever. As we've seen in scene when MC was tased, the electricity was actually stored inside MC body, he even compared it to his own power, just alien. With that I guess that MC power works kinda similar to electricity, by controlling his body, his transformations. Electricity is just too powerfull, if MC body is kicked with electricity, it could basicly transform in explosive manner coz he can't control it. So, can MC possibly learn to cope with electricity, maybe even use it to supercharge himself in controlled manner? I think that's possible, risky as fuck but possible.
