So, we know from Firefight that your worst nightmare (or greatest fear) becomes your weakness.
Heres the question:
If you became an epic, would you be able to overcome your own personal weakness to rid yourself of the destructive effects of your epic powers?
My answer:
I do not think that I would be able to overcome my fear. I have a very rational fear of spiders. It is a rational fear because I have a reasoning for why I fear them. My reason was, when I was in the 5th grade, my grade went on a field trip to a summer camp for three days. While we were there, this guy kept chasing me holding spiders, which caused me to panic (he also attempted to put them on me and a girl in my cabin claimed to have put a spider in my bed. I never found out the validity of the latter). Ever since, I have been absolutely terrified of spiders. I have tried many times and numerous methods to get over my fear, and nothing has worked.
