Difference between revisions of "Epic"

The '''Epics''' were a group of magical beings on [[Earth (Reckoners)|Earth]]. They started appearing around the same time as the satellite [[Calamity (satellite)|Calamity]]. Every Epic has a weakness that invalidates their powers. When Epics die, mitochondrial mutation occurs in their bodies. When an Epic uses their powers, it corrupts them and turns them evil.

: Steelheart is described as having an inhumanly large and strong chest. He was nearly seven feet tall with jet-black hair. He is impervious to bullets and other weapons. He can release yellow-white energy from his hand that vaporizes. When he is angry, he can transform inanimate things around him into steel. This does not affect living things. He has incredible strength, can command the winds, and fly with perfect control. He has a perfect memory. His weakness was that he could only be killed by someone who didn't fear him.

:Firefight is a member of Steelheart's elite three and his bodyguard. He is supposed to be a Fire Epic. David figured out that he is actually an illusion created by the real "Firefight" who is actually a powerful Illusionist. He is a photon-manipulator illusionist. Firefight was revealed to be [[Megan]] Tarash. She has reincarnation powers.

:Conflux is a member of Steelheart's elite three. Very little was known about Conflux. He ranwas supposed to run Enforcement. He is a "gifter" or a transference Epic. He can give two of his powers to others. He isn't known to have any immortality powers. One of his powers is that he can create enormous stores of energy from his body. Conflux is used to power Newcago's electricity. His real name is Edmund Sense. He is an old Indian man. He was held captive by Steelheart to use his powers to power the city. He was used as a battery. He was first captured by an Epic named Bastion a month after Conflux's change. He was sold to an Epic named Insulation next. He accidentally killed his wife while trying to power the microwave.

:Digzone was a transference Epic who could gift his digging power to others. The [[Diggers]] were gifted these powers to carve out the understreets.

:Lesser illusionists sometimes have trouble maintaining an exact illusion. Illusionists can't see if they turn themselves completely invisible. Light still needs to strike their irises. A skilled illusionist can make their eyes match the color of their surroundings. A powerful Illusionist can create sounds along with their images.
