I assume it has something to do with him overcoming his fear to avoid becoming corrupted, like Megan did at the end.

Possibly, depending on how it works. Prof still seems to get weaker when gifting to David, so it'd have to be more like David stealing the Epic's power, rather than copying their abilities. That does seem like it could be "thematically appropriate" though, and Regalia did have that whole line about how Prof isn't as unique as he thinks. If "stealers" exist, I wonder how many there have been, I'd imagine most people wouldn't often get the chance to use the ability.

Interesting thought, I think that could actually work. I wonder if an Epic being affected by their weakness can be gifted powers. Actually, do we even know how weaknesses affect gifters? I always assumed if the gifter was confronted with their weakness the giftees would lose the powers, but I'm not so sure anymore.

I suppose that could explain why he was still able to be gifted abilities by Prof. So if David is/becomes an Epic, what do you think his weakness will be?

Didn't notice this thread earlier, but as Stroniax points out, David was gifted powers by Prof. I had forgotten that Epics can't receive gifted powers, so unless something really weird is going on that seems like pretty good evidence that David is not an Epic.

Exactly what I was thinking Interesting idea, I like it. I'll have to look closer the second time through, but I think David's forcefield had completely failed and everything after that was the healing ability. I think the scene at the end with Megan was just her choosing realities, but who knows.
