"I know that right now you don't care about anything other than living a happy and blissful life. But if you think you can get that kind of life without fighting, you're wrong. If you do nothing, they will take it away from you. Believe me, they can take away a normal, ordinary life of a boy like you."

Tropes:
- Decoy Backstory: The villain of the series, Director Supot, explains to Pang after losing his position the origins of the Gifted Program and the anti-superpowered Nyx-88 virus. It makes him seem quite sympathetic: his first Super-Empowering human trial on his girlfriend accidentally created the virus, and the government killed his Muggle researcher friend for revealing that to him. Pang and the others help him by stealing the virus from the government to remove their leverage overpowered people, only for him to betray them and put himself back in power. The idealistic young man of the flashback was actually a muggle brainwashed into thinking he had the Compelling Voice power by the friend, the true Supot. Shortly after the events of that flashback, Supot also disposed of his stand-in by ordering him to kill himself.
