Leviathan Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 In Prof's case I can certainly see something like: Prof gets powers, Prof massacres his students, Prof goes to kill Tia, "The power of Love" strikes and he has a momentary BSOD at what he's done, which is enough to snap him out of it and fight off the corruption (especially if he, accidentally or deliberately, then Gifts his powers to Tia). When he stops the ObliterBomb (love the word) he's not only using a massive amount of power for the first time in what, a decade or more, he's also had David whispering in his ear like a Devil on his shoulder for the last year going "It's okay Prof, you can control it, you can be a Hero instead, I know you don't like it, but you've proved that you can fight the corruption, you can be one of the Good Epics....". So a big chunk of power hits his conscious mind, and David's ongoing talking has eroded his subconscious resistance enough that the dam breaks and he goes full Limelight in an instant. Dawnslight is an interesting case. Maybe because he literally couldn't lash out and feel the deaths of everyone nearby the corruption had a different effect on him. Also, the fruits seem to have a drug-like effect, at least over time, on those who eat them, Dawnslight's fortune cookies 'talk' like a stereotypical surfer dude at times. Maybe Dawnslight has simply been high on whatever is being pumped through his IV for all these years and that's affected his personality and Rending? 1
Blackhoof Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 The fact that he has been in a coma for decades and since Calamity he can affect things with his dreams and apparently has a knowledge of what is happening around the city has probably messed with his perceptions of reality.
