Reply to comment by sadnesslaughs in [WP] In a world dependant on superpowers, you though your ability of being immune to direct alterations from other powers was mildly inconvenient. You realize something is up when a friend points out you haven't aged at all in a decade. by Balethorne

Feel likenit doesn't maken sense. He is immune. Why would her ability work? Or the Scan of the doc?

My take is that his power is like an equal and opposite reaction. The Chief is aging him so his powers resist keeping him in stasis. The Doc's powers could be mostly internal, increased memory, deduction and sensory acuity meaning that he's not getting "hit" with any powers, she's just using those internal powers to work out the diagnosis like Sherlock Holmes' inspiration. However a brain tumor feels like a stretch in that case.

Could be the Doc’s power is building scanning devices that map out a person’s health.

Also, would love to see something where Kyle realizes that his power is ‘resistance’ and not just pure immunity… and he finds a couple criminals with powers (say… one that ‘boosts’ others’ powers and one that causes tumors to ‘grow’) and uses their interactions with his own power to remove the tumor completely.

Side-step the Chief, as it were.

The Forge approach. That works too.

It could be heroes, but he probably knows more criminals.

Im guessing its a toggle power so they gotta choose for it to not work.

Then he could simply choose to stop the chief from trying right age him which was causing him to stay young. Instead he has two choices, snitch on her or leave. So I don't think he gets to chose when his power works or not.
