Ah fair play. I'll just wait and read then :P
Whos at the beach? I'm bored and I might get Mark to run past there.
Don't push too hard against the mods. Especially against something that isn't honestly that important...

And I don't think they are being all that unreasonable. Suspecting and unsure is different from knowing with a glance, and that is what they are giving you. And I personally think that is more realistic.
Wire

Wire was most definitely on edge in such a dangerous situation. Very few people seemed happy to be there, and those were the ones that worried him the most.

He felt a small poke from Ross as he tried to size up as many people as he could. The man leaned into his ear and whispered "This place is a powderkeg, man. Fletcher Ross got hisself an idee, though." He unobtrusively pointed out one individual seated at the table. "You seein' this fella in the black turtleneck? The one with the rent-a-cop types with rifles behind him. Serge Ionescu. Calls hisself Argus, after the giant with a hunnert eyes. I'm thinkin' if things go south, he's the guy to protect. The Bosnians will watch after Music, and Marconi has more men than anyone, not to mention La Sombra is watchin' his back. But this fella Argus is some kinda spymaster, see? Got informants and wiretaps and drones, that kinda thing. A knowledge broker. If anyone here has hard intelligence on Legion, it's Argus. So we keep him alive at all costs, get me?"

Wire gave him a hard look that lasted but a second. Weren't they hired specifically to protect Marconi and Music? Prioritising the acquisition of intelligence was secondary surely! And how on earth did he know about this specific guy? Sure every thug knew their big bosses, and they knew their big bosses competitors. But this man in the white suit recognised the spy master of the underworld. He could assume that they had had dealings in the past; he'd fought the Yakuza at some point in time, so that wasn't too much of a stretch. But it still bugged him. It meant that the chances that he had his own agenda beyond getting paid, and beyond any form of loyalty, had increased. The possibility of more being to him persisted at the back of his mind.

Not that he showed it in that single second of thinking time. Wire nodded and decided to pry "Sounds like a good plan. So how come you're so knowledgeable of Mob Bosses?"
....
Take your time man. Nothings urgent :)
I'm waiting for Poly at the moment.

I want Wire to catch Sixgun shift his weight as a result of seeing someone he doesn't want to see there...
That sort of stuff I don't really mind. I do mind it when someone's powers mechanisms get overly critiqued... How it reacts to situations like jumping out of a building however are definitely things worth discussing, but its not too necessary to go further than that.

But just an idea.. It may be worthwhile putting down on power information that there are two types of powers: those that take in energy and use that to fuel their power and those that generate the energy themselves (you could argue that they get their energy from food, but thats being pedantic). It might make classifications a bit easier, as both of these types both have inherent advantages and disadvantages: the former can use as much energy as they have available to them limited by how much they can take in at once, but if there is nothing to absorb around them they are pretty useless; the latter can use their power whenever they want, but they do get tired easily and are limited to how much energy they can store at once.

Just an idea.

And I would be happy to do a collab. I have never done one before and I have no clue how, but sure!
I posted that before I saw your post declaring the discussion was over.
If supercharging herself makes her like captain america, then I think she should be fine jumping out of a three story window, albeit with a very high chance of some ankle injury.

Also, training your body definitely makes it more durable. Injury on the other hand always makes the body weaker. Thats why Batman is so ridiculously implausible: the amount of hits he's taken over his career aren't things that go away over time; they stay with you for life.

Of course, if you throw regeneration into the mix, then it may well be a different story.

By the way, there is a person who can turn into a ridiculously fast monster when no one is looking at her. Her weakness is that no one can look at her, but what are the weaknesses of the monster? How does that monster even operate at such high speeds? Wouldn't the friction of the air be a major factor in how it moved? How would the air behave to having it run running through it? Would there be a sonic boom?

I agree that it is unfair to scrutinise he pseudo-science for some characters and not for others.
