"The powers given in this story are a sin against God!"We recently had some protesters show up at the line to the sale of Playing for Keeps. ( Well one guy really...)
" If God wanted men to fly- we ALL would have been born with wings."
In SOTW# Faith Matters - the topic of the hero's role in religion was discussed.
One aspect that was not addressed was those who did not believe the Heros and the Wavers
should be here in the first place.• Some people would see the (creation/evolution?) of the Hero's powers as a sin.
• Some might believe that the use of Zupra to mutate the unborn children was wrong.
• Some might say that Zupra should have only been given to people that were able to make the decision to try and change themselves.
I Imagine if these people existed in the Seventh City, they would be currently pressuring Haldor Limited Drug to be creating an "Anti-Zupra" treatment to help people undo what was done to them.
Today's Third Wave - is a woman by the name of Lori. Her power gives her hair extensions .
Well maybe more like extensible hair.
She can pull her hair through her scalp with ease.
In the past , she has pulled out long groups of hair ( say 6ft.) ,when the hair is cut, more hair is immediately available.
Human hair is strong - a single strand can lift 3 oz and the combined head is supposed to lift 12 tons. ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2004/may/27/sciencenews.research)
This could be useful in several ways, to making rope, to lifting and restraining items.
