A Spiked Game

(Part 1 of 2 in this Kommission)

Comments

That was simultaneously in-character for Professor X and painful to read. It highlights how the Socratic Method only really works in one-to-one teaching. When you're dealing with a group over an extended period, they can (mis)learn as much from the group's norms as they do from you. So if you don't prune toxic tendencies before they end up baked into the power structure, they can render the entire affair worse than useless. Prof X might be carefully setting up an environment in which Scott feels comfortable, in preparation for later mentorship-led character growth. But in doing so he's treating the rest of the group as mere teaching equipment, to be used, abused and gaslighted as required for the current lesson. (Perhaps Shroud should point out to him that it's considered improper to have a crush on your student? Not that this is - likely - the case, but it might shake him out of his indolence. And the fact that he will know without saying _which_ student Lee is talking about is itself pretty damning.) In other news, fuck Spyke with a... um... spike? How many pogroms would she have triggered by now if X wasn't mindscrewing the bystanders on the regular? Like, if she'd _decided_ to break the Masquerade, you could at least begin to justify it. But this abject carelessness is moving into Depraved Indifference territory. Also, apropos of nothing, any recommended reading for the prospective teacher? I've been doing a fair amount of adult education lately, and am worried that I'm doing it all wrong.

Hmmm, this talks of powers makes me wonder how Lee would handle the kid with the power to completely vaporizing all organic tissue within a large. I imagine that situation crops up he would have the defense to whether that. Maybe throw him in his pocket dimension if he has it by that point.

"Part 1 of 2" FFFFuck yeah buddy!

There must be some kinda internal drive to use their powers, like Parahumans in Worm, its really one of the likeliest Watsonian explanations for why mutants both in fanfiction and in cannon have so much trouble not using their powers and other mutants normalizing this behaviour.

NKra

And in most instances where Prof is incapacitated and Scott does take over he performs...poorly

Armament Haki The best Haku in my opinion as it allows to fight or interact with what you normally can’t

The end result is the same, but I think the causes are different. With Worm they are constantly reminded of their powers, like an itchy scab, and it takes constant low level effort to ignore their powers. With X-men the powers are to natural. It's like trying to not flinch if something is about to hurt you. It takes training to both recognize the instinctive reaction and also supress it.

Always prefered Observation Haki myself, complete highspeed, 360 degree, knowledge of the surrounding space intuitively? Its like xianxia "Divine Sense", except maybe or maybe not including the privacy violating xray sensing.

I don't have any book to suggest, only the advice that most people can handle most topics up to a bachelor's level, the issue is that when someone is having trouble they have a missing step they should've learned, but didn't for whatever reason, so backtracking down complexity levels, finding it, and then moving back up turns 'it works because it works' to 'Oh, that's why that works' fairly quickly. For math _especially._

I liked the Darwin reference to what happened during World War Hulk.

Huh Spyke in his introduction damaged a gym floor (small fall, low visibility), filled a locker room with spikes (sneeze), impaled 5 footers into a school hallway (blown away), and was involved in the fight with the tornado in the street with Pietro pinned to a way with 20 spikes. Weirdly Spykes mom mentions shirts being destroyed but not holes or wall damage, and that's pretending the spikes dissolve like Spidey's webs. I'm amazed the tape had no evidence of powers in it. While can see the attempts at the tornado (all from him spinning in the air) not having enough power to do damage to the paving, the holes from impalement and blast craters are alot harder to pass off. Man that's a lot of problems, the number of times his old school panicked from found "homemade shives" alone would have been stagering.
