Dexter is not gonna die
I agree; we still need to know what that mechanical, gold-plated hand of his can do. According to Tiffany, it was made from monster research, and she doubted anyone in this world could afford it. There has to be some other function to it besides looking like an incredibly expensive and fancy-looking prosthetic.

Tanos said that you wouldn't notice something special just by looking at the Superhuman with Chimerism, Bernhardt make Nico piss herself from fear with a glance, I think one could very easily tell he's a big deal.
It's not becasue of that, I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in the story specifically that bernhardt had his twin brother die in the womb.

I could understand that for Devana and Evander, but not Henri. I can't imagine how an artificial evolution would only affect his absorbed twin and not him. You realise they're sharing a body, right?
Liz couldn't even use the wakeblood because Amber's body wouldn't accept it.
An absorbed twin does not make them genetically the same, it simply means that they share the same body. So while Henri likely had the first 2 artificial evolutions, if enough monster material got into him, even if it didn't affect him in any way, it could still affect his twin. My best guess to understanding this would be as such; after every artificial evolution, you get better at resisting the effects of monster material down to the genetic level. As such, even sharing the same body, Henri's twin would not gain that same genetic resistance, and thus would still be able to have artificial evolutions. Is it an extrapolation of what's been explained so far? Almost definitely yes, but I don't think it is too far outside of the realm of reasonable speculation.

Amber has full control over her body, as she can turn herself fully into a liquid and back no problem. Since they share a body, and the strength eaters are implied to be subservient to Amber's patron, it's likely that she can exert limited control in emergency situations. It's possible, though not definite, that Amber's patron pulled that itself, as Amber wasn't ready to evolve. Henri doesn't have that level of control over himself. Hell, I think only maybe Ella has the potential to do something similar to what we saw out of Amber in that moment. Honestly, I think I'm giving Ella too much credit implying that she could do something like that.


It's bernhardt that has the twin, not henri.
Most of the evidence that we have implies that Henri is the chimera, not Bernhardt. It even explains some of Henri's poor control, because if some of his absorbed twin is in his brain, it could randomly fire off electrical signals that are not under his control, which could cause Henri to lose control at inopportune moments. Such as when he's using his powers.

The difference between twins and chimeras is pretty important here. So for the sake of clarity; a twin is any pair of individuals who were incubated in the womb at the same time. That means either identical or fraternal twins. A chimera is an individual with two unique sets of DNA in their body. Even if Bernhardt had a twin, that wouldn't necessarily make him a chimera. It'd up the chances, sure, but even the Eye implied that Henri was, "Complete, yet unborn," (might be misremembering this quote again) which seems more so a nod to his chimeric nature.

Man, I thought I wouldn’t think about Superhuman for the next 3 months like usual after the update, but the new gal in town Eira has drained all my patience. I’m already aching for 0.999999b for her route. I just hope Weird Man gives her one and she doesn’t get pushed into the sidechick corner. Thats probably whats gonna happen Im afraid but I still got hope.
IKR !
Absolutely loved her interactions, when they held hands in thr simulation ? Maaan what a romantic moment.
And who knows, if WW notices that enough fans liked her apperance I could see him making her a more prominent character.

Personaly I already like her more than Nico, who to be honest, I found to be kinda obnoxious in this update.
Nico has to be the absolute most vain and arrogant character in the entire series and I for one am kinda starting to dislike her, I mean she has a constant hard-on for herself and it feels like every second line of dialogue that comes out of her mouth is a praise for her own brilliance. Sheesh.

I mean the archtype of "fighting oriented" character is done well with Alice, who loves fighting, builds a strong foundation in her own worth and convictions and is constantly striving for higher hights, but also isn't arrogant and doesn't feel one sided.
Nico on the other hand, has an ego bigger than a Colossi and selfishness to match, such as when she recals her experience capturing her first Hexenringe, how she literaly teleported her own ally into harms way just for her own W. She also loves putting herself on the highest pedestal whilst belittling others just for pettiness sake, like she belittles Zack and the other lieutanants.
Sorry for the rant.

The ego is the point of Nico. She is mega full of herself and wants her partner to the be "best" too. Which seems to be the angle / point / tension in her route. She is crazy and her arrogance juxtaposed with a tentative acceptance of the MC is what makes her route hot. Def not for everyone. But W.W. cooked on it- it is really well done.

I liked Eira as well- she is cute / sweet, if a little slutty. Much rather Mia- if W.W. is gonna give us a well developed LI route with a sweet character tho. There is a lot more backstory to work with and she is shier / cuter. Eira, also overlaps a bit with Alexis re: "other people cannot fuck me cause my power breaks their wiener."

Actually I think he will. Sure they will likely make their daughter work for it. But he wants a successor, and knows their just like him. Only natural for them to grow stronger and take over, just like he did. It's also why each time she tries something he gives her more and more power. It's the end goal, because he's peaked.

I believe someone else also said Eira's perceived "flirtatiousness" isn't a sign of slutiness but a reflection of how unexperienced she is. I mean she turned to mush from hand holding.

Also her similarities to Alexis are valid but much more extreme. Alexis could still have have physical intimatcy and have sex so long as she kept close tabs on her iron release times. Eira on the other hand, seems to literaly only be compatible with a shapeshifter like the Mc. Since Alexis's powers can sort of be kept in check, meawhile Eira's are from what I understood, permanently active.

Also unfortunately I doubt WW will make Mia into a love interest due to her short height and general loli vibes, probably doesn't want that risk due to Patreon and such.

So the only "innocent" and inexperienced love insterests would be Eira and Claudia.

Also yeah, I can see why people like Nico, but she ain't for me . Not to repeat myself, but Alice shares so much of the same traits and motivations without the glaring flaws, but yeah to each their own.

We have an entire dimension made of consciousness that can influence the physical world and you are holding on to the notion of material consciousness.
Interesting.

Remember that infection remakes the body and essentially turns it into the ideal of itself.
Not sure if we have someone who had nervous diseases or severe malformations become superhuman yet, but unless there is consciousness involved it's unlikely that physical abnormalities would persist through infection.

I didn't get underage vibes (if that's what you mean by loli) from Mia after her art update. She definitely looks mature, just short and not particularly curvy.

They're similar, but I wouldn't say they share the same traits and motivations.

Alice pursues strength because she loves fighting and getting stronger, and wants to be the strongest (or at the very least, beat Michael, who is her rival).

Nico pursues strength as a way to gain status, and in this new world, personal combat prowess is the only way to obtain that (aside from very rare exceptions like Dexter, but she's not cut out for administration or science).
She definitely doesn't enjoy fighting, which you can tell from her fighting style, which basically amounts to teleport enemy into the sun. If she can't do that, teleport the sun to the enemy. When she brings up the combat prowess of her peers, it's just to brag about her win record and to shit on most of the others for theirs - she doesn't bring up interesting or respectable fighting styles or anything.
Her true passion is exploring the universe.

I'm not sure what other similarities you'd say they have, aside from valuing personal strength.

This isn't an infection or disease, this is chimerism. Two people in one body. Both are Superhuman, and are their own types of, "ideal." If Henri's twin is a part of his unconscious brain, powerful Superhuman or not, it would have some degree of effect on Henri that he couldn't control. It would somewhat explain why Henri sometimes becomes a literal storm over in that world too, it's his twin exerting some amount of control over their powers.

Additionally, most people don't seem to survive over there after they die unless they have some kind of deep regret or have a power related to that world. There's some degree of relation between the two, after all, that world only exists because there are beings in the first two worlds with consciousness. Most probably, consciousness is born in the material, but becomes entrenched in the other world. It's possible to survive over there without a body, but even Valravn implies doing so for too long could cause irreparable damage to the soul.
