Yeah, it seemed to me that David's father got a bit scared after he shot him, and then he lunged at him, engendering even more fear and panic. That was probably enough to disqualify him from the can-kill-steelheart club.

It certainly is possible. It wouldn't surprise me, given how the nature of epics has become much less "random" since the beginning of first book. At first, we think epics are randomly selected with random powers and random weaknesses, who randomly turn evil. But by the end of firefight, we've learned that maybe none of those things are random or unplanned at all. So no, it wouldn't surprise me if Calamity correlated an Epic's rough power level with his or her ability to act on his or her fears.

Love it, love it all, its brilliant.

Hello everyone! New poster here Name: Iconoclysm Primary Power: Can turn people into raving, homicidal, sociopathic killers, much like epics but with even more rage and bloodthirstiness. Must touch fir several seconds to do this. Affected don't attack him, or each other, and hunger for blood and human flesh. They are fearless and feel no pain, but are otherwise human. Does not affect Epics. Iconoclysm can exert limited control over these ghouls. Secondary Power: Prime Invincibility Regeneration. Can regenerate from any wound as long as a single piece of flesh larger than a dozen cells remains. Regeneration from such a state takes days, but most wounds can be healed in seconds. Tertiary Power: Minor Body Alteration: can alter his body and form in minor ways. For example, he can grow claws, and strengthen his muscles to give himself enhanced strength and speed, but cannot grow new limbs or transform into other life forms. Relatively imprecise as well, so couldn't mimic another human or epic, even if they were a similar height and build. Is a gifter, and gifts this power to his ghouls so that they too can shape their forms. Weakness: symbols of faith and holy buildings. He cannot "turn" anyone carrying a holy symbol (any main religion) although he can affect them in any other way. Powers weaken when in close proximity to a holy symbol or on holy ground, and fail completely when in direct contact with one. Wounds sustained while his powers have failed will heal when the symbol is removed, but if he is killed while in contact with a holy symbol, he will not regenerate and be dead for good. Brand of evil: delights in chaos and the destruction of things that people hold dear. Has a pack of his ghouls around him at all times, for defence and support. Tends to wander the wastelands, killing, eating and turning any humans he comes across. Will often target Epic rulers, and bring down their kingdoms by spreading his insanity. Has his ghouls destroy every holy building and church, even monuments or statues, anything that people "worship", to show his contempt of their faith.

Oh, and whoever suggested Dominic Purcell for steelheart was a genius! This plus long hair is how i pictured the big SH

Prof- Liam Neeson, hands down! Keanu doesn't look old enough. Steelheart? Now that is a challenge. I always pictured him as being in his thirties or forties, so to me Superman just looks too young, and too cute. Steelheart needs to be handsome, yes, but in a rugged, powerful way, a mature way. the rock could do it, although i always pictured steelgeart as white, he was never explicitly described as such i think. look how he rocks the long hair! And dat bod for deathpoint, Robert knepper would be quite adequate i think. Look at this creepy face! Although initially i imagined deathpoint a tad younger http://www.iconicinterview.com/?attachment_id=287
