The Runaways

lol I am halfway through s2 and the Runaways are still weak AF as a team. The only one worth a damn is Nico, and she barely has any real skill with the Staff of One yet. Chase and Karolina's blasts are weak as hell and can barely injure completely normal, un-enhanced people, and Molly has shown decent strength potential, but she still gets tired way too quickly, and her other stats are very lacking. And Old Lace hasn't done anything noteworthy either so far.

Unless Nico gets lucky with the right spell, I could legit see a naked, shield-less, half-dead Captain America solo these guys with one hand tied behind his back. And he'd barely break a sweat doing it.

I figured Chase and Karolina hold back the strength of their blasts. Not sure exactly which ep you are on, but we do see

Spoiler:
Chase's beams are capable of cutting the outer shell of Jonah's spaceship. It's organic yes, but still tough enough to survive re-entry and smashing into the ground from space. Yes the damage he is doing was healing rapidly, but it was just a beam focused in one place, so I doubt it would survive re-entry based on regenerating.

Well, could be that he upgraded them from where I am currently at. He does seem to constantly be tinkering with and trying to improve them.

I admit that is one thing I do like that the writers did. They managed to highlight that both Chase and Alex are highly intelligent, but that their intellectual strengths lie in different areas. Chase excels at the engineering and building side of things whereas Alex seems more adept at the computer and cyber stuff.

Just saw the bit with the

ship. The beams did actually seem a lot more focused than previous instances. They were operating like full-on lasers, whereas they usually release less stable concussive blasts. So, maybe he added different settings while he was modifying them. Still hard to quantify due to the weird nature of the ship though. It could have survived crash landing on the planet due to a combination of shapeshifting (like deforming on impact so absorb some of the shock) and regeneration (like repairing damage from re-entry heat as it happens). I mean we see it now. Might have looked a whole lot worse when it arrived.

At least this wont be shoved aside like the Netflix shows were given Disney is now the majority holder of Hulu after the Disney/Fox merger.
