Personally, I would say superhuman is similar to Bleach more than Dragonball. If we're comparing it to anime. Especially since Ichigo found out his parents were soul reapers and a quincy(?) after he became one himself. Which lines up with MC learning that his mom was a althuman and superhuman .
Woah, calm down there Satan
Why? Ella does not fit with the rest of the people you listed. she isn't a serial killer.
So far there has been absolutely no reason "in game" to have a 0 corruption run. The lowest corruption check towards the start is at 3 (pretty sure that's all or most corruption at that point) and on my "low corruption" I was at 2 until Micheal's dream, pretty sure corruption checks have only gone up (around the 20s now).
I too don't expect 0 corruption to be important. Perhaps a minor alteration of an ending? Don't think it will be more than that.
I figure we'll probably see the organization working on curing monsterism (and that probably treated Syla) at some point. Or some survivor of it, at least, if it's been wiped out. It's Chekov's Gun, WeirdWorld wouldn't have drawn attention to it with Markus Alderman having a scene just to tell us about it if it was never going to become relevant. And they'd be the most likely people to know anything about lowering corruption.
Considering that all the corruption checks have been going up (3?,6?,15?,25?) I think it's very unlikely that we are going to see anything from a 0 corruption run, not just because of bailey being around is the "nice" option but you get more lore about the immaterial world and future potential for MC power (he'll be able to bring "back" from there), and then Micheal's dream is "harmless" corruption (ie nobody is hurt you just eat dream monsters) but raises the stat by 5 makes me think it's even less likely that a 0 run will get anything (maybe a line or two of dialog that won't change anything else)
If Syla went to the same place MC went (deryl comments on it being shady af but fancy).....then I don't think they were curing monsterism......
Oh, I don't think they're the "good guys". But curing monsterism is a practical goal even if you're not very altruistic, like you said it would be a big help for anyone working with superhumans. Though oddly, Markus Alderman said that Xanthe considered the monsterism-curing group to have a "regressive philosophy", so maybe he doesn't agree. Maybe it's not that the best he can do is prevent corruption, but that he just doesn't want to do more for whatever reason.If Syla went to the same place MC went (deryl comments on it being shady af but fancy).....then I don't think they were curing monsterism......
Unless Ella knows MC at some other point in his missing history that's the place they first met, probably where she met tanos (guess based on her looking younger in that photo), and the place where "her plan" was hatched. It would be the biggest twist in the game if they were legit good (or even not bad) people
Logically that group would have to better "monster focused medical stuff" than xanthe since all he can do (with decades and all of heros resource) is prevent corruption if you wear a helmet (for at least 6-8 hours if mc sleeps normally). Curing corruption would have been "helpful" for hero as well considering Henri/Nyx.
If we talk about the main character, his powers are basically the powers of Alex Mercer from the prototype video game. We haven't seen him use energy attacks yet that I remember. And the other characters have a wide variety of superpowers from anime, manga and comics.
Which, again, is pretty ominous. What happened during the time he spent with Ella that Syla didn't want him to remember? If Tanos did work at that clinic, odds are good that he would have seen the human-monster hybrid that is the MC and wanted to experiment on him. Syla said that the memories she blocked would be hard on the MC, and Tanos' experiments would be pretty hard on him.
Well curing "monsterism" and "corruption" are different I doubt putting a helmet on claire would reverse her current state, wanting to go from superhuman to human could be "regressive" but just making sure peoples powers dont mutate in harmful ways (nyx/henri) should be something viewed as beneficial. We also know that becoming a monster/human causes biological changes but corruption is seemingly mental/mystical (nyx got mind raped by "ghosts" for a time/being able to "hear monster whispers at night") so "corruption" should be much harder to cure.
Considering cole is "angry" but otherwise "sane/functioning" I dont think it was "just" tanos experiments that are the reason, I think the real reason has more to do with whatever "bad stuff syla took in over the years" that caused her a "true spawn" to no longer be consdiered "pure"......beyond that would be rampant speculation but my money is on a certain raven and their lord
Yeah, if I'm being realistic Stephen wouldn't have willingly let Tanos do anything to the MC. He's shady, not evil. Either he didn't know the worst stuff that happened at the institute, or he had no other choice. Like, maybe the MC had some serious health problem because of his hybrid status that only Tanos could fix, and Tanos got his experiments in while working on him. We know the MC was a lot shorter than his parents before he became a superhuman, him being very ill as a child would explain that. But yeah, that's the most "willing" I can see Stephen being in giving his own son to the institute to work on.Well curing "monsterism" and "corruption" are different I doubt putting a helmet on claire would reverse her current state, wanting to go from superhuman to human could be "regressive" but just making sure peoples powers dont mutate in harmful ways (nyx/henri) should be something viewed as beneficial.

As the person above me says since he recalls the guy who told him "your life aint that shit kid" he would have to remember Ella, the only way for her to know him without him knowing her is too meet before him mom died.
Well we "know" Stephen meets syla, stephen likes her tiddies, stephen too horny to care about her shapeshifting/clearly being mentally messed up, stephen marries her (all confirmed in dream?) from here right now my guess would be: stephen gets job while syla is being "treated", syla lies to him about the treatments, MC is born and probably does some monster stuff or whatever ended him at same place, stephen learns whats going on and does some blackmail stuff to get mc/syla out of there but syla dies in order for mc to live/the lab sends someone to kill her.
I dont think stephen would give MC willingly for experimentation, he sure as shit wouldnt willingly give up syla for it, and that goes double when you consider how "above and beyond" tanos would likely go (like he did with amber/liz)
Considering cole is "angry" but otherwise "sane/functioning" I dont think it was "just" tanos experiments that are the reason, I think the real reason has more to do with whatever "bad stuff syla took in over the years" that caused her a "true spawn" to no longer be consdiered "pure"......beyond that would be rampant speculation but my money is on a certain raven and their lord
I think syla did a "blanket memory wipe/blocking" rather than being able to do something specific like block out his memories of just the lab. Like I said cole is functioning (if angry) human and he recalls 100% of what tanos did to him, and that would have been after the knowledge he gained from MC so the experiments would likely be worse/more in depth.
Was Cole experimented on by Tanos? I thought it was implied it was the elder Xanthe who experimented on him.
