Author Notes:
That said, not sure how much I've got to say on this one, kind of speaks for itself and think Adam summed up a lot of what could really be said for it.
I do like though that the subject of Lenore comes up. All too often with healers you see stories just ignore them when it's convenient.

Well Jake is right MM's higher-ups are disciplining him, wonder what's going to happen next.

Especially since, like Jake points out, Marvelous Man wasn't really wrong in ripping the suit off. He genuinely didn't know the kids would be okay or that the suit being ripped off could potentially kill him. The outcome was still tragic, but Marvelous Man can't really be blamed for what happened.
I think the kids just needed it explained to them that events aren't always black-and-white and bad things can happen without anyone trying to do bad things. Nobody's really to blame for what happened to Quartz outside of maybe Quartz himself, and even then it's hard to assign blame given it's unclear how sane he is. When bad things happen you want to see people punished and they just needed to get that that's not always the case.
I do really like that the kids are willing to blow the whistle on themselves and come out and say they're super-heroes if they think that's the right thing to do. It shows that bringing a bad guy to justice is more important than their secret identities. Also while I think Lore's developing a professional jealousy over Marvelous Man, she's still reasonable about it and heeds advice that he's not that bad a guy after all.
