All the other expies of the team got worse powers; his wife Sally has to use all her concentration to keep her skin visible (making for [[BodyHorror a pretty gross sight]] if she loses said concentration), and her brother and cousin lack the RequiredSecondaryPowers to keep their powers from hurting themselves -- and to top it off, the former spends most of his time in a ''stasis chamber'' because contact with oxygen causes him to catch fire. As a result, Richard kept them locked up so they wouldn't embarrass him. |
