Well, Regalia COULD be considered a High Epic, but again, most High Epics have PI, and David thus proved (according to this theory) that Regalia was indeed NOT a High Epic, when he killed her using Obliteration's Sword. Or perhaps she was to weak to use her powers. If we knew Regalia's weakness and possibly even her history, we might be able to compare and contrast with other Epics to decide weather or not Regalia could be considered a High Epic, and furthermore, a better Definition of High Epic and PI. And no I meant El Brass Bullish Dude. That Epic that the Reckoner Cell rooted in Bablar had killed in Mexico the year before. David gave a quick overview of his powers and the story Val told also gave more insight to his powers.

o-0. *facepalm* My science teacher should whip by freaking butt right now.

Well, not necessarily, because El Brass Bullish Dude was considered to have PI, because even high caliber bullets just bounced off of him, yet it took a morter to kill him. It was considered invincibility, yet he was killed by, as you put it, more raw firepower. #HeadCannon

I'm talking in the discussion pages it's incorrectly used, along with High Epic.

Well, then we really need to specify a true definition of PI, because it IS incorrectly used quite a bit.

Thanks Blackhoof!

Good idea. You are correct, and if he magnified it to Kelvin, then brought it to absolute zero, that'd be even hotter.

The resolution was really bad, but here is my background. Name: Ceaser's Reign Primary Power: Manipulation Of ANY Matter. Secondary Power: Any Object Not Traveling At A Terminal Velocity Over 2,679 MPH Will Harmlessly Bounce Off Of Me. Weakness: Wooden Stake. (Precisely In The Groove Of My Upper Chest) Costume: Heavy Black Chestplate And Black Shoulder Armor. Grey Under Shirt With Long Hood. Chainmail Arm Gaurd. Black Gloves, Gold Lining On Bones Of The Hand, Green On The Joints. Red Cape Leg Length. Grey, Scaled Pants With Gold Bone Lining. Converse Red Hightops. (Cause every Epic has quirks.) I have almost been killed by a stake to the chest, simultaneously being choked by a rope around my neck because I fell out of my home made hunting stand in a tree. I wiggled out of the rope and fell, where my back was slightly impaled by a wooden stake.

If you've got an Epic story / Weakness Name Powers and such, and you've got a media of this Epic, put it here to share it!

Hm. I can look at it when I get home.

Wait, when did they compliment her? And what kinda idiot tells Epics that are more powerful than her her weakness.

I suppose you're correct, however, could it be assumed that David guessed Newton's weakness ( yes! because he said, as he was pinned down, 'It was long shot, but the only shot I had.' And then used his idea of her weakness in her) just by a VERY small amount of her history, and her powerset?

Not true King Of Nowhere, because as Prof had clarified in Steelheart, they HADNT ever taken out High Epics. High epics abilities of protection isn't just prime invincibility in the definition like Obleteration teleports, because he melts bullets. Steelheart himself, however, was invincible because bullets bounced off of him/ he was impenetrable. However this theory is slightly undermined by Newton, a smaller Epic who had prime invincibility because NOTHING could hit her. So I guess it's just what you consider Prime Invincibility. I whole heartedly thought Newton should've been considered a High Epic, and easily could've killed Regalia, and with more of a struggle, Obliteration. And also, Hiw stupid are Newton's gang members to not put 2 and 2 together? 'DONT COMPLIMENT NEWTON OR SHE'LL KILL YOU BRU. INSULT THE CRAP OUT OF HER M8.' these guys were freaking idiots.

King! THATS EXACTLY WHAT MY SLPEEN WAS TELLING ME! I couldn't have explained it be- *Muffled Cries* ThIS is tHe dUck'S sPleeN. if U wAnt hIM baCk, fEed mE thAT mINerAl.

Well, I wasn't fully impaled with the thing THROUGH my chest, but it destroyed flesh and skin, leaving scarring

Gr8 M8. Kill my vibe. Jk. I do see your point, however your idea is kinda from a first person POV. I do agree though. Your ideas make a lot of sense, and their weaknesses do support the idea that their powers originate from their fear. It just kinda seems... IDK I know you're right, but my spleen is like 'BRUH! DUN TRUST THA FOOL M8!' But then again my spleen did tell me to pour water on that oil fire...... I really need to get that checked out don't I?

I can actually do this! I have had near death experiences! Name: Ceaser's Reign Primary Power: Manipulation Of ANY Matter. Secondary Power: Any Object Not Traveling At A Terminal Velocity Over 2,679 MPH Will Harmlessly Bounce Off Of Me. Weakness: Wooden Stake. (Precisely In The Groove Of My Upper Chest) Costume: Heavy Black Chestplate And Black Shoulder Armor. Grey Under Shirt With Long Hood. Chainmail Arm Gaurd.

Correct. It takes at least 16 solar panels to power one moderate household for a single DAY.

Well, I was awake last night, thinking of my impending doom at the hands of an Epic that's powers are cereal based, when I started thinking, 'Hey, what makes an Epic an Epic, and what is it in their past that specifies their power portfolio? And how can I get potato powers to enslave the Irish?' Well I believe the answer is partially stated in the books, but certainly not outright stated. •We have evidence to believe Calamity is an Epic, yet we have nearly no idea what his power portfolio is. There is the always the option that he is a high Gifter, but it's not certain yet. •The Reckoners and Lorist have figured and speculated that something in an Epic's past is what creates there weakness, example; Sourcefield and KoolAid, poisoned as a child with KoolAid. Steelheart and Men Who Don't Fear Him, Steelheart was a school bully, yet it is unknown if someone who didn't fear him almost killed him. •We can assume some near-death experiences happened to Nightweilder with sunlight, Megan with fire, and Newton with her faimly (she is weakened by compliments and afraid of not being as good as her faimly) •From what is stated in the books, ONLY WEAKNESSES are specified by an Epic's past (or so from what we know) My conclusion is that only an Epic's WEAKNESS is specified by their past, and their powers (from what we know and can theorize) are completely random. P.s. They never did find out Regalia's power, yet when David killed her, he proved she was not a High Epic, she had no powerful protective powers. Prof's history and near death experience is unknown, only that he was a schoolteacher, dated Tia, and was friends with 3 other Epics, so we really can't determine what Prof's weakness is without knowing more of his history. (However there were small blurbs about how Prof disliked contest.) ~Stay Duckie My Friends!

Ok so I looked farther into it and it seems that there is a positive side to the original argument and a downside. PROS: As I looked into it, I read that during David's 'power transfer'? IDK but anyway, during it, David talked about how he assumed that Regalia and Calamity had spoken of his fear of water (or rather EXfear), since Regalia had obviously seem signs of it. (Also, She's Pretty Dang Smart!) He did overcome that fear. If you remember correctly in the books, when Megan had overcame her fear of fire to save David, she became much stronger, as it is evident in the fight between Prof and Megan. David' s power wouldn't take effect since he was quite LITERALLY surrounded by water at all times, thus backing the theory he has powers, yet his weakness rended them useless. CONS: David may have overcome that evident fear, but it would still be his weakness. David also may have been surrounded by water until he killed Regalia, but when he did, the water around Manhattan would've gone down, thus giving David access to the use of his powers. David wasn't entirely around water when in Dawnslight's home, also giving him another chance to use his powers, against Obliteration first, then Regalia, and lastly Prof. David did not sleep after he gained his powers, so until the next book, we have no way of knowing if David is having nightmares, or if he even would since he overcame his fear. Again, we have to wait an entire grueling year before we get any definite answers. Why does Brandon torture us so?

Hey guys sorry I didn't post. Anyway, I looked at Cobold King's comment, and yes, a big part of my theory is undermined by the fact that Prof gave David powers after his Calamity incident, and they kept him alive. How ever, if Dawnslight is an all seeing eye of his city, is it possible he knows something David doesn't, especially when he said at the end of the Epilouge, 'Dream good dreams, Steelslayer.'' I'll do a little more book snooping to find more evidence for both sides of the argument. Stay Ducky my friends!

Ok, so as you know, Calamity, this unknown and 'all powerful' creator of Epics, attempted to give David powers, however David overcame his fear (water) over time, using the spyril, & especially when Regalia broke the glass. However, that may be, but it was never stated that David TRUELY rejected the powers. It's only known that he didn't have a Rendering. Does Daid have a secret fear we don't know of? David said he, "...felt the power coursing through his veins..." yet he still showed no sign of power. One thing that struck me as odd in BOTH books was that David was highly defensive of being called 'A Nerd.' After David attempted to get to Megan, and was late, and even after Prof's Rendering, David's only REAL chance he could've used/ testedhis powers was, against Prof. But who was there to stop it? Megan. After that, in the Epilouge, David and Megan spent time together plotting. Megan always had a tendancy to make fun of David.. sometimes calling him a NERD. After David 'gets his powers', he spends much time with Megan. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! (BTW this is my first post so welcom a new RECKONER to the RECKONERVERSE!)

Finally! The word I've been looking for! I ship Mizzy and Shaggy from Scooby Doo across the steelformed Great Lakes
