Awesome / Seed

• Taylor shows what someone clever can do with Blasto’s shard. She steals the DNA of the Butcher from his grave, starts cloning him en masse, figures out how his power works by having the clones kill each other, and finally jailbreaks her own shard and gives herself a massive power upgrade.

• Taylor’s debut as Faust. She starts her career as a hero by simply sending a never-ending army of creatures to constantly harass and attack anyone that has allegiance to the Empire. It doesn’t matter how many they destroy, as she simply keeps making more. All to lead the Empire into a trap which ends with the Empire humiliated, Kaiser screaming after being poisoned, and kidnapping Othala so they can no longer heal their injuries.

• Taylor’s Battle in the Center of the Mind with the real Butcher when they finally meet. She is forced to relive her worst memories and is despairing that she is a failure until the former heroes in the Butcher Collective force her to relive why she became a hero in the first place and the positive difference she has already made. Invigorated, she has a rematch with the Butcher and completely obliterates the collective. She destroys several shards, steals the minds and powers of the former heroes for her own collective, and terrifies the Butcher into retreating as they realize that she can actually kill them. The Butcher collective took her on on mind to mind with every possible advantage, and she took them apart.

• The Debut of Project X: A project that Taylor has been alluding to for over two arcs and it does not disappoint. A giant, mutant, tentacled, cyborg T-Rex empowered by several Othala clones to make it invincible. It takes everything Bakuda and the Protectorate can throw at it and all it does is make Taylor laugh. It takes one of Bakuda's time stopping bombs to stop it.

• The Purge: We finally get a sense of Taylor can do when she doesn’t hold back as she destroys the ABB with a massive preplanned invasion of the docks that is full of all kinds of chaos and terror. Piggot is so horrified that another Nilbog style attack is about to happen, that they sound the Endbringer sirens for help. After reinforcements arrive, Taylor snaps her fingers to kill off all her army, declares the docks hers, and dares the world to try and take it back. The attack elevates Taylor into being recognized as the greatest wet tinker and most dreaded vigilante in the world.
