To be more specific, I meant when it comes to using the aforementioned term to describe the main character Matt.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
I realize that it's kind of redundant to use the term "Empowered Badass Normal". Since Matt is a video game character and him being a video game character plays a role in the story, he already has superhuman durability (as shown from the amounts of bullets he can endure, even at point-blank, superhuman strength as shown when he beats up fully-armored opponents with his bear hands such as the Soak'Em Commandoes, some Space Marines who are fully armoured from head-to-toe, etc., and regeneration that can only work if he takes cover. Either that, or it's an in-universe example of Gameplay Story Segregation.
