The Book of Mon-El

[Spidey'tilIDie]

I have an idea, but I need to do some research to see if its viable. Can you give me 24 hours to research and post before you settle on a direction?

Sure man, although if you could give us a hint it could maybe save you some research time?

Basically, I'm going to research the gun powers on every card. See if I can't find a pretty frequent common denominator.

[IAmBatman]

Is that even relevant, though? Per A3n, he's immune to Lead most of the time due to his Antidote. Honestly, I wouldn't bother trying to represent it at all based on that (except on Lead himself, perhaps).

[Ronin]

Yeah, it's more intuitive to me to model the lead weakness on Symbiote weaknesses to sonics - represent the weakness on Lead and anything else that's really super lead-themed. There just aren't enough of those to easily keyword and rep from Mon-El's end.

In most Legionnaire stories, I'd agree. But they don't use conventional firearms anymore in the 31st Century, its one of the reasons he is OK there. The Earth has a much cleaner atmosphere and Lead is not as prevalent in their society. I recall that they let him out and that the Serum just halts his already infected Lead Poisoning. It doesn't cure him, its not a vaccine, as I recall. When he had a brief (yearlong or so) story where he was in the modern world, Lead Poisoning and bullets was a legit issue. He even had to wear a special suit, but whatever. Its obviously not worth the effort if everyone's mind is made up. Forget it.

[MrNobody]

Yeah, I was going to ask about the time where he was protector of modern-day Metropolis because I'd never read those stories.

Collected and Read 'em, but I don't seem to know what I am talking about.

Hey man, I've said nothing of the sort. You clearly have some knowledge I don't here.

[IAmBatman]

Or possibly you're introducing new information that we didn't know before and is valuable to the debate? I think you might need a breather, though.

But I appreciate the story data - I think that's a solid argument for trying to represent it somewhere in the game. It seems the antidote didn't really protect him from, say, gunfire.

I honestly wasn't aware of much at all in the present day save for his initial appearance, and lead is way more common in present day. I still think its quite hard to quantify, but you may very well have the idea that makes it happen.
