Mutants and Masterminds (Editors Thread & OOC)

Time for me to add to the conspiration theories.

What if Yoshi is the spy or at least the jealous one?

He's got about the same powers as Mark, with probably a way bigger ego, and believes, maybe not incorrectly, that he has better control over his powers than Mark does.
Being on Legacy he has the money to pay for an assassin and he could have asked his best friend Jimmy for daddy's phone number.
He's probably the one most capable of hiding his jealousy behind a friendly rivalry with Mark.
He doesn't like Ryan, but then again Ryan seems to love making enemies, and he definitely is aware of Ryan's own jealousy and lack of anger-management.

Jimmy's not evil. He's not even a bad guy. Wait, he's not even a badguy, yeah, that's what I meant to say. By which, I mean he's not immoral.

He's definitely got a negative score in couth and tact, and he's very self-centered. We now know where he gets that 'tude from; his family life must have been interesting (and he being Chinese, interesting doesn't mean fun ). But I think you're right about his 'honor'. Anika's insults rolled right off his back, well, sort of. Well, it could be honor, it just could be a bully mentality, where he's not used to being stood up to. Obviously, though, he wants nothing to do with his family, so that's a plus.

As much as it seems easy to just label him a jerk, I think Jimmy's probably the deepest NPC in the game.

At least one person noticed all the hard work I do

Nice theory on Yoshi and here I thought he was a cross between Stiffler from American Pie, and the Flash from the Justice League cartoon

You're right, I forgot to decide upon my immunities. Anyways, it probably doesn't matter, I doubt even with imagined rivalry Charlotte would want to use her powers just yet, esp. with all the people

Ryan doesn't love making enemies, it just sort of happens. Go 10 Cha! He does enjoy what one does to enemies who attack him though.

Mark's faster than Yoshi, BTW. Super Speed +8 vs. Super Speed +7, although Yoshi has lots of cool extras and power stunts that Mark doesn't have. The Yoshi theory is a strong one, especially if you look at Yoshi's personality that Toki wrote in the Rogue's Gallery. It certainly fits that he'd hire someone to kill Mark. Although really, almost anyone could be jealous at the Institute.

The new Class 5 rolls into town, with greater powers than many of the students who have been here for months or years. They're cool, get into all kinds of trouble, beat down trained soldiers and Elite assassins, and always seemed involved in interesting situations. Now nearly everyone on Class 5 made Legacy, with only a few people from other Classes joining. It's easy to understand where the jealousy comes from, especially since quite a few people are serious jerks sometimes (Ryan, Billy, and Mark can all be pretty mean, in their own different ways).

A hypothetical match-up...

Cassandra, a skilled Elite martial artist, vs. Bruce Lee, the most talented real life martial artist...

who would win?

(What can I say, I'm bored...)

If Cassie has moves like Uma Thurman's character in Kill Bill, I'd go with her.

An interesting idea is that Arifina called in the assassination on Mark. Not "it should have been me" leading Legacy, but "it should have been me" dating you. IIRC, her wealth has already been mentioned. She didn't really seem to be happy after getting rejected all the time. Moreover, she may have lost some social capital with her set after Mark shot her down. The obvious assumption that the attack has to do with Mark's leadership of Legacy lets her taunt people with a note while remaining an unlikely suspect.

The theory about Yoshi is a good one though. Note that he immediately related Ryan to the note, while (pretending?) to be nice and reluctant.

all I have to say to that is

and I like pie... mmm pie

Err, what is that supposed to mean? You don't like it?

 

[Agamon]

No, he does like it. Hence the 'mmmm'. But who doesn't like pie?

Ahem, anyway, if Arifina would hire an assassin to take down some dude that didn't go out with her, she has some serious issues.

We could theorize this to death. Maybe someone wanted one of the pairs of swimming suits he bought at the mall and is really pissed that Mark got them instead.
