As to the score, I'm only giving a slight ding to the rating (so far, though only seven chapters are out) because the story development is almost entirely just a fanfic version of the first Captain America movie, so I can't give it five stars until I see some real serious departure from the script into a new and unexplored territory. Everything else is exactly where you'd hope it'd be with a fanfic. There are a few small issues I take so far. For instance, I'm not 100% certain if the author has a full grasp on the powers he has shown. Two super powered people: Raven and John (Soldier Boy) have been shown, and both have shown a departure from their baseline canonical abilities. I'll be curious to see if they keep happening, if these were slips, or if the author just intends to make his characters 'vaguely based on' the originals.
Interesting that people take issue with the shield, and not with the fact that he can overturn a tank without just sinking into the ground. Soldier Boy (and the rest of the cast of the Boys) don't have the support powers of a character like Superman. In the first season, that's the whole thing with Homelander saying he can't just lift the plane because he'd destroy it in the process. I'm curious to see if he has the full 'support power' package, or if this was just a slip up by the author.
As always, I'll try to come up with a plausible explanation for 'the guy with all the coins.' Here's my made up reason: One of the guys robbed a coin-dispenser in a laundromat earlier that evening.
It may help, just imagine that this author is plotting Saitama's power as an exponential curve rather than a linear one. Then it starts to be a little less "what is this guy smoking?"
Could have done her as Joan Watson for Elementary.. just pre-Elementary by a few years.
Not that I expect to change anything, or that it really hurts--but accuracy with a pistol almost absolutely necessitates accuracy with a rifle and well.. a shotgun. Controlled breathing/timing heartbeats, being able to line up your sights, and a smooth trigger squeeze are all FAR more difficult on a pistol, and the skills translate to a rifle which is basically the same thing with a more accurate gun and clearer sights. A guy who is an ace with a pistol is never going to be LAST in a group with a rifle.
This character isn't autistic and has talked about how his brother has an issue similar to what Sheldon deals with. Therefor he is Ben Affleck's character's brother, who is played by... Jon Bernthal. Like I said.
"Bro" you're stupid. Neither of those things were true. In fact, libraries were more popular in the 60s than they are today. Less big public bookstores, way more "hanging out at the library."
