Line #64 WMG/GrrlPower


1	[[WMG: Maxima's Skin is made out of Orichalcum]]
2	* Think about it. Her skin is gold colored that seems to shimmer with fire. They have no idea what it is and it's pretty indestructible.
3
4	[[WMG:That thing Sydney can't be separated from contains...]]
5	* ...[[RuleOfFunny an extremely persistent GPS.]]
6	* ...GreenRocks
7	* ...nothing; Syd's just psychic and delusional.
8	** Or alternatively, psychic and messing with them for the lulz.
9	* ...Sydney's [[JustForFun/TimeLord Tardis]].
10	* ...a CosmicKeystone.
11	* ...GreyGoo
12	* ...something ''else'' that'll cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt if released.
13	* ...bees and snakes/kittens/Franchise/{{pokemon}} and [[WesternAnimation/MylittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic ponies]]/[[Franchise/CthulhuMythos cthulhu]]. Because no one is expecting it.
14	* ...her SoulJar.
15
16	[[WMG:Brook will be dead by the end of the prologue.]]
17	The only female hero - the only female ''character'', almost - not to be on any version of the banner, despite apparently being an equal member of the team currently, and not seen in any of the earliest ads. Plus, the only one of the girls yet seen to [[FatalFamilyPhoto have a partner]]. ''So'' doomed.
18	* The creator must have read this page: She now swaps with Ariana on the banner.
19
20	[[WMG:One of the mystery orbs (red or green) is a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebreather rebreather]]]]
21	This allows the user to remain covered by the ([[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1476 airtight]]) shield for longer periods of time.
22	* Confirmed! Sydney grabbed the green orb while underwater [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-541-bubble-untrouble/ and it made a bubble of fresh air]].
23
24	[[WMG:Despite Sydney's fears, Tony actually likes her]]
25	It seems strange that Olivia explains her family situation to someone she's just met. But if Tony likes Sydney, this makes more sense. His weird family situation is more easily explained by his sister if he brings her along. Olivia can explain this is just how it is, whereas he would come across as a creep. It's pretty much introduce Sydney to the quirks of their family on those two pages.
26
27	[[WMG:Vehemence will join the team.]]
28	At some point, Vehemence will join the team after some convincing from someone on the team, likely Sydney. He'll get it pointed out to him that by being on the team, he'll get to fight enemy supers on a regular basis. Beyond that, he's probably made an enemy out of any friends that Opal and Vekter had, therefore meaning he'll get more violence heading his way, and if he's part of ARCHON he'll get to meet them head on with other people fighting with him, thus granting him more energy. Plus, I bet Anvil and him would be a brutal team, considering she could take anything thrown at her without issue and he'd get to build up fast just because she's around. While the possibility of him turning on the team exists, as long as they keep him entertained he'd probably roll with them happily.
29	** [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-966-special-training/ Starting with #966]]...
30
31	[[WMG: Sydney and Krona's powers come from the same source.]]
32	Take a look at Krona's little wheel of power. It's divided into seven sections of color the same colors as Sydney's orbs. also those two are unique in there power sets, and that just reeks of significance.
33	* confirmed with the (at time of writing) latest page.
34
35	[[WMG: The reason Sydney doesn't know what the red and green orbs do is because she hasn't leveled them enough]]
36	If you look at [[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1166 her original skill tree]], you can note that every other orb has at least four points allocated to it, with a minimum of three points in one skill path. The two orbs with unknown powers have a grand total of five points allocated between them, with no more than two points allocated to any one path. Because they're so underleveled, their powers aren't strong enough to produce a noticeable effect.
37	* What if the orbs were designed to be used by a being that had three or more hands, which is why she can't activate them because feet don't for some reason count, and as theorized the orbs enhance somehow the other orbs when held. Also, one of the orbs might be an off switch which allows the user to leave them behind.
38
39	[[WMG: Somewhere in the skill tree is an option that will allow Sydney to overcome the "can only use two orbs at a time" limitation]]
40	It could be something that applies to all the orbs that allow them to function while only touching skin (which would mostly require all the orbs to be very highly levelled) or something that varies from orb to orb (which probably will require just heavy investment in that particular branch of the skill tree).
41	* Some examples of the second option would be the only having to hold the shield orb to activate it but have it remain up once removed, but needed to grab the orb again to lower or alter the shield. Or having the Power Projection Orb act as a sort of a turret.
42
43	[[WMG: Halo's top flight speed is limited by wind resistance]]
44	The flight orb produces a large, but finite amount of thrust and eventually wind resistance against the shield is what limits the top speed. Apart from levelling the flight orb to produce more thrust she could go faster by a) fine tuning the shield shape for less drag, b) dropping the shield and using some sort of custom flight suit or c) just flying higher where the atmosphere is thinner, especially since she doesn't have to worry about aerodynamic lift. If she can get to space (and has a large enough oxygen supply) her speed could be theoretically a large fraction of the speed of light.
45
46	[[WMG: Math's problem with being DistractedByTheSexy will be solved]]
47	By having him sleep with Dabbler. And not have her erase his memory.
48
49	[[WMG: Red orb speculation]]
50	The current theory is that the orbs [[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2562 turn the user into a spaceship.]] Thus, the red orb could be...
51	* A BagOfHolding - though they're [[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2564 holding out]] on testing ''that'' theory until they find a super-high-security setting; considering how zany Sydney's powers have been to date, it could easily be a ''[[SealedEvilInACan brig]]'', and Maxima doesn't want to unleash something like an invisible alien serial killer.
52	* A cloaking device - fits in with the explorer/ spaceship theme
53	* Something that allows a person to hold multiple orbs at once - thus by passing the the two powers limit
54	* A universal translator - if that isn't already a function of the yellow orb
55	* A HealingFactor - it's a fairly obvious hole in the powerset her orbs grant, and it would explain why she couldn't figure out what the red orb did (it would only become obvious if she grabbed the red orb while severely injured).
56	* FasterThanLightTravel - this could possibly be sub-function of the blue orb, but FTL ''[[SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale isn't]]'' something you want to activate on a whim.
57	-->'''[[http://www.rhjunior.com/nip-and-tuck-0686/ Admiral]]''': Madame Chairwoman, in the time it took you to ''say that order'', he travelled-- on an unknown vector -- the equivalent of ''half the width of this solar system.''
58	* A multi function computer - this could incorporate some of the features above - plus a GPS, guidebook, manual, maps, maybe even a hands free mode....
59
60	[[WMG: The Green Orb is a general purpose Life Support orb, not just a rebreather]]
61	Short version, in addition to generating fresh air the orb can also do things like maintaining temperature in extreme environment since the shield orb allowing light and sound to pass through suggests that there is some level of energy exchange with the surroundings, even when the shield is up.
62	* Alternatively the shield is selective and can adjust to keep the heat in or block it out to maintain a comfortable temperature.
63	* Partially [[https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-1080-nitrogenerator/ confirmed]], she can use it to generate nitrogen instead of oxygen.
64
65	[[WMG: Krona is using [[TabletopGame/MageTheAscension Virtual Adept]] computer-wizardry]]
66	Manipulating reality in a way that even other supernaturals are confounded by sounds like the kind of thing a True Mage is all about. Not that she knows it, or is an actual member of the Virtual Adepts - she just uses their paradigm because she Awakened and latched onto it.
67	* She's still got low Arete though, but a lot of dots spread across several sphere, so she can manipulate lots of things, but can't do the crazy stuff a Master mage could.
68
69	[[WMG: Cthillia's species]]
70	Chtillia's only featured power so far was using her gaze to induce a heart-attack in Indinge Sr., and she later remarks to Sciona that [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-531-the-gangs-all-here/ she's extremely ugly]]. That combined with her scaly skin hints that she's likely a Gorgon - though since she's also the only one of her kind she's aware of, there's no telling what that would ''mean''.
71	* She's eventually shown to be [[https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-1086-befuddle-a-beholder/ something]] like an anthropomorphic [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Beholder]], though still not identified.
72
73	[[WMG: Sydney's orbs are the origin of superpowers.]]
74	Recent (as of the time of writing) comics have revealed that [[spoiler: the orbs were actually found by Sydney in the Yucatan Peninsula, right where the K-T Event happened where the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs impacted, and that superpowers are the result of an Nth species creating a universal background field that [[HumansAreSpecial humans just so happen to have a perfect decoder for inside of their very DNA]]]]. With Dabbler and Deus both indicating that [[spoiler: the creator of the orbs and the creator of the Superion Field are one and the same]], it seems to be a very real possibility that [[spoiler: the K-T Event's meteor contained the orbs as well as either creating some sort of field around Earth that caused people to evolve so that they can utilize the Superion Field, or had some proto-biological lifeform that mixed with the survivors of the K-T Event - mammals - and hid the decryptor for superpowers inside of their DNA until it reemerged recently.]]
75
76	[[WMG: Deus' real superpower is [[spoiler:TheEmpath, because he's normally TheSociopath]]]]
77	Put simply: Deus was born with a mental illness, making him smart but dangerous and dysfunctional. Then he got specific superpowers that ''cured'' this condition, and while they're active he's functionally a genius. This is even more effective than simply having powers that boost his intelligence, because when his powers are on standby, his condition causes him to think about refining his plans from a patient and (relatively) normal viewpoint ''all the time'', overcoming the pitfalls of TooCleverByHalf and allowing him to apply complex subjects in ways that the typical EvilGenius will overlook.
78
79	[[WMG:[[https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-1214-the-one-with-the-demon-gang/ 1214]] has some ExactWords going on.]]
80	Lulu's soul collar [[spoiler:isn't the expected symbol]] because [[spoiler:it's not Brelx's]]. She only said that [[spoiler:her jacket is Brelx's, not her soul collar]].
81	* Since she also says [[spoiler:she can't disobey him]], which is implied with soul collars (no word on why [[spoiler:Dabbler can disobey Tom]], though), the only way that would work is if someone ''else'' ordered her to.
