So just wanted to ask if I understood the MC's powers correct or not. Basically all the superhumans have the ability to shapeshift but everyone get's a certain power or animalistic aspect I guess they are best at. For instance Alexis has the power to produce, change and control metals in herself or anywhere she touches, while Jake has the power of mindcontrol, not sure exactly how he does it if it's pheromones or brainwaves or whatever. But the MC on the other hand doesn't have an exact "special power", unless the memory diving part which allows him to see memories and genetic information is one, and instead he has perfect shapeshifting powers which allows him to shapeshift perfectly from the start. Like being able to transform into a fly or perfectly mimic aspects of animals. So you could say that his specialness lies in that he is above and beyond anyone else when it comes to the shapeshifting part. Or did I miss something?
I would say you're a tad bit off but others covered those parts with their explanation so I'll skip it.

For Jake, his power isn't simply mind control, it's the ability to command all things, overall. His trait was "Authority" but he ruined it at some point. He was actually supposed to be able to command people, objects, powers and potentially even the laws of the universe itself but he ruined that because of his mindset. "Mind Control" is like a sub function of the overall trait.

When it comes to the MC. His Memory Trait isn't just diving into their memories for perfect shapeshifting. He can store their memories in a corner of his mind to retain their info. He can even give said memories to others, if he devoured them. That's on top of being able to attack people with a memory attack that drags out their own as he damages them. The only thing the MC can't do with his Memory Trait is form mental links from a distance without touching someone first. Only Mommy 4th, Aglaecwif and Sharon can do that without touching. Some of this stuff you'll have to do corruption to find out. Like the storing and giving memories portion.

I like this theory a lot as it falls into the more technical side of SuperHuman, i wish i can see more this instead of "Dog Clappen insane Memes".

The basis of this theory is that All Superhumans can shape shift to certain degree, which is undeniably true. All Superhumans can shift a certain "shape" ranging from Energy to Living mass, but its often limited by three core components.

1) The Connection with their Monster
(The Connection gives the Superhuman its energy for their powers and also what abilities the specified Superhuman can use (i.e. Nico is limited to warping)
2) Their Body
(Superhumans' bodies are genetically modified [by their respective monster through infection] to be able to use their powers [It is the reason why they are all genetically diversed, its also why they are incompatible with each other and humans in procreation])
3) Corruption
(Corruption seems to have special effects on one's powers, often modifying in a way that often seems "evil" or "monsterous", the limit on the power changing properties of corruption are yet unknown.)

These three parts determine the limit and uniqueness of a superhuman's powers
You missed the 4th and possibly biggest determining factor, mindset. Jake is one of the main examples of someone's mindset ruining their power. Ella explained this to him and yet he still ruined it. :KEK:

I thought that was order not authority.

Agreed, what ixcez specified was the main character's powers working in conjunction with each other to improve his ability to easily shapeshift.

mindset can make or break your powers but it does not affect the limit/uniqueness of powers.

It applies for the Authority as Jake already commanded people, powers and objects in a limited amount. That's why I said that potentially part there when it came to "Laws of the universe" specifically because he apparently could've gained Order. Authority as a trait is able to command people, powers and objects. We saw all three of these in his fight against MC and Deryl.

mindset can make or break your powers but it does not affect the limit/uniqueness of powers.
It making or breaking your power inherently means it'll affect your uniqueness and limit your power. It's why Jake can't control objects directly and only passively diverts them. He focused too hard on trying to avoid and deceive people that it limited his power's potential. That doesn't mean he couldn't bounce back, he's only Level 2 after all. But he screwed it up at the beginning making it unlikely for him to develop in the correct direction of Authority.

So yeah, according to Ella, mindset plays a major role in how powers are shaped and develop over time. If your mindset changes in a certain way, it could completely alter your powers as you progress. At least below Level 3. Not sure it matters much once you reach Level 4 and 5.

I just find her physically attractive more so than anyone else in the game. Personality wise the only person I ACTUALLY like from H.E.R.O is Clark.

Hahah. The looks of people when i'm out with my wife are always epic
Heh now you made me curious but it also reminded me of a scene at the airport where I couldn't stop staring to be honest. It was a pair of what I believe was a husband + wife both where short but the wife had such a big chest that when her husband "tried" to hug her he could barely put his hands on her waist. Now she was truly what I would call a shortstack xD

Yeah it's true that he probably didn't or doesn't understand his own power it didn't help he lost it during his evolution aswell which made him not learn more about it. Seeing as Ella mentioned 50% of the power comes from the monster and the other 50% the humans understanding of it and their personality/mind.

When it comes to his power I'm not sure if Authority would be the right word for it since it can have multiple meanings one of the most basic one's would be the authority to use something which in turn would make his power more in line with being able to use other superhumans powers after he has gotten authority of their powers. At the same time the word authority kinda fits since authority can always be challenged and with how when Jake tries to use his "authority" it becomes a clash of wills where Jake can risk dying if the other side is to strong.

Personally I believe the base of his power is Command or something similar like dictate or maybe order/mandate. Since so far his powers has been shown to be verbal in that he can command someone or something to follow his wishes or how he dictates to everyone around him that his new appearence has always been how he looked.

Jake and the 1st Apostle power is legitimately called Authority in game though. Jake even directly called it that, "Authority: Imprint" from what I recall.

Alright so:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Narratively we may be able to discern the overarching theme of power vs love. However the game does not track it this way.
There is a morallity system in place. The variable is called "moral", starts at 10, and currently you can get it up to 15 or as low as 6.

For example, during the third evolution, the Eye says (paraphrasing) "Last time you told me you fight for X reasons, is that still the case?". The choice of X depends on the "moral" variable and not the answer you gave during the second evolution. Additionally, no matter what answer you give, the game tracks a change in the "moral" variable (+1 for selfless, -1 for selfish response) and does not log the actual answer.

I expect that once MC starts making choices that affect more than just his immediate environment, the morallity system will start playing a much bigger role.

For now, it doesn't matter if you choose love or power. The only thing that is tracked is the morality of your actions and not all actions, no matter how intense, affect morallity.
