Yeah, since no one wants to become an Elite. I mean, you get the whole suite of cool powers and few people end up freakified like Ryan or Ruby. I bet Cardinal knows though. I'd imagine she knows quite a bit...what I wouldn't give for a nice sit-down chat with her, assuming things don't break down into violence.
FYI, I'm going on Spring Break next week. My Internet Access will be limited. I can still get on, just not keep up with my current pace of several posts per day.
Also, would it be possible to switch out one flaw for another with Cosmic Power? It wouldn't be a significant change, since my f/x has always been blatantly Obvious. By taking the Obvious Flaw, I'd like to remove the No Transmutations Flaw I took at character creation. If not, no big deal, I just thought I should match my flaws with my descriptions, and plus turning guns to ice is undoubtedly cool. I really liked the NPC Neutron in Project: Daedalus.
