* RealityWarper: Alex's Cynicism can alter reality to make events more ironic, the Sovereign can do this on a massive scale, and anyone who says [[spoiler: 'I am Invincible']] gets smacked for their hubris, even if they are correcting someone or just reciting a story where that happens. That last one is believed to be directed by some sort of consciousness.

** AwesomeYetPractical: Inside an RPG battle realm, those problems disappear: Only combatants on both sides are in the created battle zone, so you only have to worry about guys who have inherent invulnerability or guys that can temporarily exit the battlefield. Two RPG end bosses that previously were unbeatable due to hostages they held were defeated when Alex simply declared combat had begun, and was free to use the gun.
