![]() ![]() ![]() Phaedrus is able to stop the detonation but the extensive use of his powers drives him over the edge and makes him a full Epic. This culminates when Regalia detonates a bomb made using Obliteration's powers to destroy Babylon Restored. Due to Regalia's plotting, Phaedrus is forced to use his powers more and more. Despite being an Epic himself, Prof consistently tells David that all Epics are evil, including Megan, after David tries to assure him that Megan was fighting the corruption of her powers. He later fights Steelheart and helps David in eventually taking the Epic down.įollowing the events of Steelheart, Phaedrus travelled with David to Babylon Restored to take out his old friend Abigail Reed, now known as the Epic Regalia. Jonathan is revealed to be a High Epic and a Gifter that shares his powers through the guise of advanced technological equipment such as the tensors. Jonathan later plans to free Newcago from Steelheart's influence by killing the Epic after David reveals that he saw Steelheart bleed. After he helps her as the Reckoners plan a hit on Fortuity, David convinces Jonathan to let him join. Sometime later, he and Tia founded the Reckoners.ĭavid manages to track down the Reckoners, a rebel group fighting against the Epics, and finds Megan Tarash, a member of the Reckoners, in Newcago. ![]() This venture ended in catastrophe as every member of the group other than Phaedrus succumbed to Calamity's corruption. Sometime prior to the events of Steelheart, he was part of a team of "hero" Epics consisting of himself, Lincoln, Abigail Reed, and Amala. The details of this incident are unclear, and it is possible that the Epic in question was Phaedrus himself experiencing his Rending. At some point after the arrival of Calamity, the school where he worked was destroyed by an Epic while still in session. He was involved in a romantic relationship with Tia, who at the time worked for NASA. Prior to the arrival of Calamity, Jonathan Phaedrus was a fifth-grade science teacher. This can be seen as he refused to enter a contest pre-Calamity and his reluctance to use his abilities in Steelheart, instead gifting them to others. Prof's weakness is failure, and the risk of it. It could also be his forcefields doing the lifting. This could be a separate power, or it could be a form of bio-feedback resulting from his Accelerated Healing. In Firefight, David states that Prof seems especially strong. Enhanced Strength Prof is often described as having a solid build. When spread among the team, it can heal critical or traumatic injury in a couple of days. His healing factor can heal injuries that would ordinarily be fatal in a matter of seconds. A rare occurrence, Prof is a High Epic with two prime invincibilities. Accelerated Healing Disguised by the harmsway. The forcefields give off a greenish color, which is related to the name 'Limelight'. He usually gifts a much weaker version of this ability to the Reckoners, providing them with full-body shields that offer limited protection against falls, bullets, and other dangers. When he used this ability to its fullest extent, he was able to contain an explosion powerful enough to destroy a city. Prof can use his forcefields for many purposes, such as blocking incoming projectiles, creating a disc to fly on, traveling quickly and safely along the ocean floor, trapping or crushing people in bubbles, creating a walkway or bridge, attacking with spears of light, or simply illuminating an area. Because the ability is controlled by the mind, each person has a different mental trick for activating this ability. He can also carve improvised weapons such as swords using this ability. This dust seems to have less volume and weight than the original substance. Prof can turn inorganic matter into dust. Matter Disruption Disguised by the tensors. By gifting his abilities to others, he also lessens the psychological effects of being an Epic. He disguises his giftings by attributing the effects to various devices. Powers Transference As a " gifter", Prof can loan his Epic abilities to non-Epics, often the members of the Reckoners. "Tensors" redirects here.
