He probably doesn't do it via that process, though. The concentration of iron in the human body is so low that if he was making iron-containing proteins and rearranging the iron in them into steel it would create enormous amounts of waste. Kilograms of carbon and nitrogren for every gram of iron. I think the MC is just producing the steel directly, and iron being naturally occurring in human bodies was just a prerequisite for him to make it.
It was explained but that doesn't change that it felt like it worked that way primarily as a form of plot armor. The reasoning just didn't work for me and so it felt like an excuse for Deryl not to quickly lose to Jake's power, if the clones where being remote controlled or something but their actual conscious was in their bodies. Its not that big a deal but this is my opinion on it.
The biggest downfall of Jake was his mindset and it did not fit him at all, simply bad writing. If it was given to anyone with decent intelligence but a fucking anime cringelord mindset then they would have accomplished far more than Jake. I'm sure they would make a lot more mistakes than Jake but throughout these mistakes they would learn how and where to use their powers. Meanwhile Jake was a bitch for 80% of the time and only "locked-in" at the last 20%.
Thanks, I'm quite curious about Black Mouth, so far he seems to operate by possesing more than by using power words, we could see a fight where he switches through multiple vessels.
If I'm not mistaken, there are three scenes of a Chosen fighting and killing a Body Chosen, a Dark Chosen, and I believe a Destruction Chosen, and it's implied Black Mouth was the one killing them.
Monsters are most often chosen, but not exclusively.
She did, but teflon is made entirely out of elements that are present in the body. As Ella describes it, it's not that she and the MC are limited to organic material, it's that they're limited to using the elements that are part of a human body. Nearly every polymer is going to be available for her and the MC to use, there are very few that incorporate elements that aren't found in organic life.
When she said that, did she already know about his memory powers? Because from my point of view, the MC can easily pass this barrier thanks to the other half of his powers.
She did not. And there is some evidence that the MC can use elements outside of the human norm. His rhino form has a tungsten horn, and there's no tungsten in the human body. It's possible he's just drawing mass from the orb Deryl gave him, Deryl uses tungsten for his cannon shells so there's probably a supply in there. But I'd expect him to comment on it when transforming if that was the case.
Well, evolving naturally to level 5 is quite unlikely, only 3 people have done that, Henri first, then Bernhardt and Malik, I don't remember if Ella's qualifies. So it must be something really exclusive, and not without risk. And the point of infecting a human, if I'm not mistaken, is to fulfill a purpose, the perfect form is a mean to see it done, so its probably fine to stay a superhuman.
Yeah, the MC should have access to plenty of explosives and incendiaries. I figure that he just hasn't yet because that's not a direction Weird is interested in taking his powers. Maybe some day, when the MC goes into space. I figure he will eventually, with S.I.N. being on Mars and the foreshadowing of the Qlippoth coming down from the moon. Then the MC would need rocket propulsion, since wings don't work well in thin/no atmosphere, and turning a rocket into a bomb isn't hard.
I think you are conveniently forgetting the major influence that made Jake the way he is in the story. Most things he does in the story are only because of Ella (Deryl's mind control, fighting with the MC, etc.). If he didn't obey, She would kill him and everyone he cares about. I don't think that anybody in Jake position would be in good mindset using "authority" when you are completely under authority of Ella. Unlike the MC, whom she managed with a more hands-off approach, Jake transformation was meant only to be used by her to do what she wanted.
I think it was intentional on her part. Jake had so much potential.
WW has gone on record saying that any time it's said WW transforms into titanium, it's a typo and actually should be tungsten. So it seems pretty clear he can turn into it.
