'Liquid armor' the pick up ticket said. HOW IS THIS ARMOR?

I think the worst thing is that I actually have memories where I wore this. In a fight.

I mean. The gauntlets and boots that go with it are kind of badass. But the rest of this.

Thanks past life. I hate it.

Oh shit...the latter is hard enough, but INSIDE your mind?

That's...that's is freaking OP.

Oh, well...hopefully that just means both sides are shades of grey but both do some good...cause a super villain that can screw with your mind like that is HORRIFYING!

True, but if you could just knock into someone's mind, would you bother using a phone?

Although, I would also find it creepy is someone could just pop inside my head whenever the hell they want. So both sides make sense to me.

Fair enough, of course it doesn't matter for the now, it's just facinating to think about who we were before and how similar or diffrent we are to our last lives.

Well, yes, past life is a past life.

Makes for interesting conversation, if say, a villain in the last was a decent person here, or a hero in the last might not be so noble.

Not to mention what they have seen and the lessons they could apply to this life because of the last.

Just makes you how things could have been diffrent, right?

Both of us were poor as dirt. When fate kicked him down, someone picked him up and he grew to be a hero...when fate kicked me down...I was alone...

and...I'm just me...

Yeah...find our inner light, and try to get rid of the stuff blocking it...

It might be, but I want to belive it...and maybe we don't need to save the world(okay, vanderweele, yes, but OTHER then him), maybe it's just something in our hearts, the desire that we want things to be better, and honestly try our part to make it that way.

I think the people we call heros, are those that do more then they need to...and since we have power we could definatly do that if our heart was in it.

I suppose so...I'm not so sure about small things, Rescuing a child, sure, helping someone who is struggling...

Couldn't it be argued that people do that just because they suspect it might indirectly help themselves? Or maybe that person might help them later? Does that still fit in the category?

Oh yeah, Cause power in the wrong hands just makes life worse...and gosh I've seen people be horrible with it.

Be their own undoing? Are you putting self-serving in the same bin as evil?

Not sure if this makes sense but, say someone is struggling, another helps, maybe they do it in the hopes that they might gain a friend that way, or helping someone else helps them help themselves while geuinely hoping for that person's happiness. Does that make it any less good then someone who just wants someone else to be happy?

I do sort of agree with the last bit, if someone were to come up to me and just claim they are a hero, sounds like ego stroking to me, even if they are objectively doing good and what not. But the example above might complicate that.


[Asking for a friend, not because he sees himself this way at all...nope nope nope]

So selfish people ar there own undoing, while good counters evil?

Hmmm, that is a good question, I think if it was "wish" then it's not, because sure, they think there is a chance there is something in it for themselves, but they are also spending time and resources that could guarantee self-interested goals rather then helping someone else which MIGHT advance similar goals.

Obviously, someone that helps with no thought of benefit is the gold standard and those people are probably unquestionably heroes but unrealistic to hold yourself to that standard all the time.
