A super/mutant/metahuman or whatever the particular universe calls those people.

He got the superspeed package. Just one *teeny*, tiny problem...

He still got the exercise-induced asthma he's had since he was a kid.

Depending on how super the speed it still allows a lot of fun. The equivalent effort of walking slow will still be blindingly fast for anyone else, and even us effort-induced asthmatics can do SHORT bursts of fast movement, we just have to stop before it gets to the point that we'll really be breathing hard.

Oh, I'd like to have it be somewhat limiting.

On the other hand, if he can deliberately *not* use his power. he'll have a *great* cover in his secret identity.

I have an asthmatic supervillain.

She carries mace.

Let's say Farce has a nonstandard risk assessment.

After reading 's "Fire On the Mountain", and more recently the RNV Exeter story, I've been working my way thru the Terramagne stories.

So I've encountered Farce. And hey, I'm asthmatic and I carry pepper spray. Especially if I'm out en femme.
So does a trans friend. And *she* has a really bad reaction to anything with capsicum!

Oh, as long as I have your attention, I've got a few questions about T-America.

1. has anybody ever done "trading cards" with black & white capes?

2. If so, given what I have picked up about they way things are handled, how likely is it that some publisher of such got in trouble for something inaccurate or at least very "unflattering" about a black cape and had to recall the card in question?

3. how likely are soup groupies to (politely) ask for autographs at places like the Soups Kitchen?

(I've got an idea for a vignette involving a groupie asking the black cape to autograph *that* card. The reaction will be partially based on that of a dangerously visionary author's reaction to being asked to autograph a copy of a book he very much regrets having written.)

Farce isn't the only one with nonstandard risk assessment. Damask(Keane) and Side Eye are just a couple of examples.

And a few of my Whateleyverse characters. :-)
