Line 24:
* Ok this is a bit of [[Fridge Logic]] yeah. Simon brought the power to be immune from other powers from Seth. How the hell did Seth manage to get it from its original owner if the original owner power blocked other powers being used on him?
** The only potential answer I've been able to come up with for this one is that it is a voluntary immunity, aka, the person could choose to allow a power to affect him/her. Which sort of makes sense as some of these powers can be useful for others (like the healing power from 2.06)
* Curtis being lactose-intolerant {{spoiler|and thus impervious to lactokinesis, putting him in a position to undo Big Cheese's murderous rampage}} may seem a bit of a cop-out until you realise that [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_intolerance:Lactose intolerance#Lactase_persistenceLactase persistence|lactase persistence]] (the ability to digest lactose into adulthood) is actually somewhat of an anomaly, commonly found in people with Western or Northern European ancestry, but the exception rather than the rule worldwide.
* Once Superhoodie's identity is revealed, one might wonder why he jumps around as a [[Highly-Visible Ninja]] {{spoiler|without bothering to turn invisible}}. Later, we find out that {{spoiler|he swapped that power for one which, along with the other two he later buys, allows him to fulfill Superhoodie's heroic responsibilities more reliably}}. This is both a smart move, and (due to the protective power he gives up) a very brave one.
* At first, I was a little confused as to how Friedrich could send himself into Hitler's office- or how {{spoiler|Kelly could do the same thing}}- using Curtis' original power, which was based around [[Mental Time Travel]]. Then I looked back on a few other occasions where Seth bought and sold a power, and noticed this wasn't the first time this happened: Nikki's teleportation was almost completely uncontrollable, but it was transferred to "Jesus," he was able to use it at will; Lily's cryokinesis power had a nasty tendency to activate when she didn't want it to, but the Nazis forcibly transferred it Captain Smith, he showed no signs of accidentally freezing things at a touch. Then, I looked back on how Seth had mentioned that he'd wanted to be "The Ulimate Dealer" or something along those lines, and it made perfect sense: his power actually ''improves'' the ones he absorbs- after all, he doesn't want to deal in low-grade product, does he?
