@Sapphire, a thought: Metas would only become public knowledge in 2010; while you're implying that Vince's tragic life, and his involvement with the MHLA, happened before that; a mistake I myself made with Constantine before I retconned his backstory.

Needed question: You say Vincent's powers work through pheromones, right? Can said pheromones be filtered by power armor or ventilation, or even counter-pheromones?

<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>

Yes, that's what makes it tricky, the people honestly had no idea why Vince and his father could do what they did. This heavily contributed to the fire that led to his death, if the people knew it was just a genetic difference they might not have acted so rashly. Metas were around before 2010 and I'm sure that some one them knew they had powers and used them. I'll fix it to make it more clear, thanks for letting me know.

Counter-pheromones I'm not completely sure about but the other two would work provided you have an advanced ventilation system. There's an element of Emotion manipulation to it that even with the best possible suit/vent people will still feel something small though a meta may not.

Sorry, @Sapphire. I totally forgot I said Nate would talk to Cer about helping her investigate the MHLA thing. I got distracted by other things.

<Snipped quote by Subject Zero>

Its alright, if you had waited for Cer to finish training with Jackass Jackson you'd have been held up forever, plus whatever you guys are doing right now is pretty amusing. I have stuff for Cer to do anyway, though I may have her talk to Cedric about Kuro, she doesn't want to hand the kid his ass without boss's permission.

Said permission is forthcoming.

<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>
couple of questions, one being what the hell is MHLA?

Also, not a bad idea of have a meta or three before the public knowledge. I don't think anyone should be a meta before the event that started it all.

<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>

Stomp on dat foo!

<Snipped quote by AcerRo>

Stephen implied that the event that started it all and the public knowledge were close together; at the very least, it would be a few years before 2010.

Also, the MHLA is Cer's old organization, a group dedicated to helping Metas use their powers...but they have a secret dark side that makes Cedric look like a fool for being friends with their old master before said old master and the organization got destroyed.

<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>

Yesh, there's that too if you want to be a pessimist. After a while they got better but their mistakes did end up costing them.

how long has the metahuman gene been around? Would they have existed in ancient times? It would be a cool explanation for the mythical heroes of mythology.

<Snipped quote by Weird Tales>

No, Metahumanity, at most, would have been around only a few years before 2010.

<Snipped quote by Sapphire>

Tell me more.

<Snipped quote by Sapphire>

Well I if you still want to talk to Nate, you can probably find a few of them around the building.

<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>

But then how could an adult/adolescent Meta exist if any Metas created in the first wave would be a toddler?

I always thought of meta humans as mutants. Powers could awaken at any time.

Eli was in the rangers when his meta human powers came to be.

<Snipped quote by Sapphire>

All right, Spoiler: Metahuman powers come from a virus; they're not inborn except in cases where the mother already carried the virus.
