Notes
- In a CBR Q&A session, Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite elaborated on Monica's powers. "Monica can only do things within her physical limit. Now as an athletic 20-year-old girl, there are a lot of things within her limit. But, no--if she saw Nathan fly, she couldn't fly."
- Micah identifies St. Joan, from a 9th Wonders! comic, as a muscle mimic. (Fight or Flight)
