He probably weaponizes the energy he can absorb, considering his comment regarding the sun. Would be my guess

Sad that Robert could've made her waste two servings of spaghetti in one day. (Could've thrown the first one at Flambae)

Probably. I wasn't trying to add stuff to his page on the wiki or anything, I was just generally speculating because I like the character. I think he gets a bad rap. He doesn't seem like a bad guy, to me.

I think the initial response of his existence is just ptsd from all the evil supermen we’ve gotten.

No no you're all good lol. Also yeah, I genuinely don't think there's anything wrong with him. I'd be upset if he was just another evil superman, but I like the idea of a realistic Superman style character who wants to do good but genuinely just doesn't get anything lol.

The best description I've heard of Phenomaman is, "He's not a Superman with a dark side, he's a Superman without a Clark Kent side... which he suffers for."

That's crazy, what was he asking about?
Anyway yeah, aside from maybe RWBY, I don't think I've ever been around for the begging of a fandom like this. It's pretty cool to see.

Nothing, he literally just sent me a screenshot of it downloading on steam with zero context, alongside a question about why I haven't been replying (Busy with uni)
Same here, though I got into RWBY a bit before Vol. IiI. ("Yang vs. Tifa may have been a terrible Death Battle, but it was a brilliant advertisement!")

That's cool homie, always nice to be chill with your parents like that. Hope he enjoys peak gaming
(Good luck with Uni too, I've been there.)
Crazy to think I still have the original DVD release of Volume 1. Used to do a weekly podcast with some friends when new episodes came out starting with Volume 2. Thank god that's been scrubbed from the internet.
Sorry to everyone else for bringing things off topic.

That's me making dat calc blog, hi!!!
Definitely not all perfect calcs from moi I'll admit, but I did me best.
5 and 6 release in like 4 hours (something like that) and I still haven't looked at scaling stuff for episodes 3 and 4... Ah well, maybe I should wait till beating the whole game before leaping back into calculations anyway.

Give yourself some credit, I think you did a pretty good job. I'm glad someone decided to do calcs for this game, it deserves it.That's me making dat calc blog, hi!!!

Thank u
I do think I did decently well, I just happened to make a few silly mistakes is what I mean - Like, uh, messing up a joules to tnt conversion (and forgetting to list in summary anyway) - but most of those are fixed now, I think. Hopefully. A very helpful comment saved me there lol

Btw, some quick things I noticed in the in-game profiles that I don't think anyone's brought up here from what I've seen;
Punch Up has Density Manipulation, but we haven't seen it in action - Considering that there's nothing for him using it in missions requiring lifting or moving stuff AFAIK, it's possible it only applies to himself (so that he has the weight he had prior to his shrinking, maybe?). It also says he has (presumably physical) Pain Immunity which is absolutely where his power for avoiding being downed and not being weakened by injuries comes from.
Golem has some Regeneration. No idea if it works in a limited way or not since I don't think we've seen it yet, but since he can still get injured unlike Punch Up it's probably not super powerful or has a downside like needing to absorb a bunch of material.
Coupé has Superhuman Precision. That's pretty cool, and definitely not concerning for Robert since I fired her and she made an implicit death threat in my playthrough.
Prism has Photoionization, which wikipedia describes as "the physical process in which an ion is formed from the interaction of a photon with an atom or molecule." Similarly, superpowers wiki describes it as letting the user "ionize atoms through radiant energy, as well as use electromagnetic radiation to generate ions and plasma.". I have no idea what this does but it sounds really cool. Of course she also has that Light Manipulation, and her Holographic Manip presumably as a subset of that but given thats the apparent basis for her starting power I think they're able to interact with reality despite being called Illusions in that skill.
(Side note, I think she unironically might be one of the most powerful heroes in-game for any mission with at least 3 slots, I stumbled upon her upgrade options before any others out of curiousity and. My goodness.)
Final thing I've just noticed when scrolling wikis and videos, with Royd's science-babble in episode 3 about the Astral Pulse apparently containing a Stellar Core - I looked it up and apparently that is the super hot and dense region at the center of a star. Wat. Yeah I'm not surprised Mecha Man II probably wasn't the one to make the Astral Pulse, according to him, that's kinda insane. Granted, Royd refers to it as "Da (The) Stellar Core" so it's possible it's just a name rather than anything literally connected to stars.

3 and 4 honestly don't have many feats, unless I missed something in the mission segments. The only things that haven't been calced yet (that are worth calcing) are probably Malevola cutting through concrete and metal while fighting Invisigal and Sonar's monster form KE
Also, great work!

Oh she's absolutely cracked, for sure. Phenomaman in Slot 1 and Prism in Slot 2 is basically a guaranteed win 99% of the time.

Not shocked that there weren't many notable feats in episodes 3 and 4.
4 in particular; I mean the intro kinda already tells you what that episode is gonna focus on lmao.
I'm expecting a bit more action in the newest two episodes, though.

Hey, quick warning for anyone who hasn't played episodes 5 and 6 yet - With the Electricity Hacking stuff, if you get caught by an Antivirus thing while you're trying to grab the electricity with a mouse pull, after you respawn you can't do anything, pretty bad glitch it seems.

Just beat episode 6. My heart burns and will have to see the episode again in the future to find powerscaling stuff.
Phenonoman is hilarious, by the way. "Has he tried ethical business practices" (idr the exact line but it was something like that) in regards to Vanderstenk having another disaster is kinda crazy and I actually just had to pause to laugh.
We also got some info on his Home World which is kind of interesting - It's seemingly called Urgot-52dc (oh gee I wonder what 52dc could be a reference to), and apparently his heroic build is... considered to be a flaw over there? To the point that any compliment he gets on Earth about his body is a reminder of bullying? What??? I mean guess we know for absolute certain with these two factoids that it ain't a Krypton situation, but damn.
