[[WMG: Vince has actual superpowers.]]

We've seen him get a surge of strength whenever he has a flashback of his family life. It's more than just HeroicWill- the longer he's separated from his family, the more this power will develop.

[[WMG: "That's not a Cape that's a Cloak!"]]
We have had "The Cape" "You can work on it." and "Your not wearing a cape." This Troper feels confident someone will call him on wearing a Cloak not a cape next.

* Granted she has to learn that ARK is evil first somehow. But if she does than this can go two ways: she either takes up crime fighting in secret to avenge her husband's (supposed) death or she directly teams up with him to take down Chess and make Palm City safe for their son.

Although the setting seems to work like a superhero comic book, other than Chess there are no superheroes or supervillians at the start. There's also no aliens, mutants, magic, or any other kind of superhero comic wackiness. Obviously Chess is a supervillian refugee from a universe with all of these things, and he's starting to infect the real world with comic-book themes, maybe without knowing it. Palm City is a real-world city that just changed its name to something more comic-booky when he arrived, and the circus folk didn't start robbing banks until he started influencing them.

* The online comic already showed two unaffiliated superheroes getting in Vince Faraday's way in the Little Shanghai district of Palm City. People are already following his lead. It is fairly likely the writers will continue this plot thread in the actual TV series itself.

* The Law Of ConservationOfDetail at its finest. Rad Lass is a fictional character in-universe with a lightning theme. Orwell, the Cape's HypercompetentSidekick, is pretty handy with a taser. It's a stretch but, hey, I'm just [[TitleDrop Wild Mass Guessing]] here.

[[WMG:Vince Faraday is still an UnwittingPawn to Chess.]]
* Peter Fleming AKA Chess had a guy [[FrameUp framed for murder]] and [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat blown up in a fiery explosion]]. Naturally, [[NeverFoundTheBody a body was never recovered]]. Then, a superhero with the exact same height and build appears. And still [[WhatAnIdiot he hasn't figured it out]]? Impossible. [[TheChessmaster Peter Fleming]] is working the long con here. He knows Vince Faraday is the Cape and must be using him to flush out Orwell, the real threat to the Ark Corporation. In fact, Max Malini may be in on it, explaining why the audience never saw how he was captured by Chess in the pilot episode. He let himself get captured to head off any suspicions Vince Faraday, [[ExpansionPackPast an ex-soldier cop]], might have had about him.
