* '''Zig Zagged''': ???Having an ImaginationBasedSuperpower and being a fan of cartoon, Albert just does it normally (as in Invoked), but Albert is aware of how this works and occasionally flashes a light bulb as a straight up bluff to buy some time to figure out a solution, or suppresses it when he has a great idea that needs some time to set up properly, both bluffs actually taking effort on his part compared to how his powers normally generate a lightbulb.


Added DiffLines:

** Albert has an ImaginationBasedSuperpower, so whenever he has a genius idea on how to solve his current problems, his powers generate a light bulb over his head since that's how it works in cartoons.
