** Another drawback to Panacea's powers is that to use them, Taylor turns into Panacea- as in, her body physically becomes identical to Amy Dallon. The issue with this is that Amy and Taylor are ''not'' the same physical size and shape- Taylor is taller and less well developed, and thus her clothes suddenly become too long and too tight. This is somewhat rectified when Glory Girl takes Amy and Taylor shopping for clothes.

These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Piggot gets exposed to one of Taylor's Panacea Remix bandages, which restores her to what she looked like before Ellisburg... and promptly gets thrown into Master[=/=]Stranger screening for 'badly impersonating Director Piggot.'
** Because one of Amy's powers' limits is that she can't affect herself, the Panacea Remix turns Taylor's body into an exact duplicate of Amy's... which turns out to be ''very'' uncomfortable for Taylor, as Amy's body is ''very'' different from Taylor's. So in some places she's bulging out of her clothes and in others they're way too lose, because the clothes didn't change when she did.
** Taylor's powers give her powers are thematically opposite whatever capes are in her range. Gaining a potentially endless amount of power sounds good. However as each powers main purpose is to be the perfect counter to a single cape, not every power has applications beyond countering that one person.

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Part of Playlist's Eidolon remix is a power that is entirely useless. If she ever finds a use for the power, it's replaced with something even ''more'' useless.

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Part of Playlist's Eidolon remix is a power that is entirely useless. If she ever finds a use for the power, it's replaced with something even ''more'' useless. Which surprisingly makes it the ''perfect counter for Eidolon'', as his power gives him powers it thinks he need to combat a threat. So Taylor's remix makes Eidolon no more useful that any non-powered human: having numerous, rapidly-changing powers means that Eidolon's power can't pin down what it needs against Taylor, and it can't use a power-cancelling Trump power because of Taylor's other main power being so pathetic that it doesn't qualify as threatening enough for the Trump power, and if she does find a use for it, it swaps to something equally terrible to maintain that non-threat level. Overall, it makes Eidolon practically useless against Taylor.

In the aftermath of her traumatic experience with the locker, Taylor thought she had managed to become a cape - one with the power to solidify fluids, although for some strange reason it only works for a period of time that is slowly growing. However, when she takes to her first field test and jumps in to stop Lung and the ABB from killing a bunch of kids, she realizes she can also freeze things and put people to sleep... and as she meets more and more capes, she starts to gain more and more powers, all of them with a theme: they are always opposed to what the cape can do.

The amount of time she spends with capes is related to how long she keeps the powers after they leave her range- since she goes to school with Shadow Stalker, this means she can keep her air barrier power for several days between seeing Stalker, whereas capes she's just met will go away between a few hours and a few minutes.

* MesACrowd: Taylor's Oni Lee remix allows her to make clones of herself with the appearance, memories and powers of her fellow Wards - but only one per Oni Lee copy.
* NecessaryDrawback: Taylor gets a "remix" of the powers of all capes that are close enough to her, but getting more than four at a time gives her great headaches, and she needs to be close to the cape long enough to keep the corresponding power for more than a few minutes.
* PowerCopying: {{Inverted}}. Taylor's power allows her to gain powers that are the opposite to that of the cape she gets them from. For example, Shadow Stalker can become a gas-like shadow, so Taylor can solidify fluids, while Armsmaster's Tinker ability for increasing efficiency translates into Taylor knowing how to make any device less efficient.
* WalkingTechbane: Taylor's Bakuda remix tells her how to render a device unable to work.
