Some say I’m a loner, others that I’m weak, occasionally they’ll throw in a rumor, but none of it is true… or at least that’s what I’d like to think.
Back to reality, I get picked on and can’t do anything about it. Bullies can smell your fear a mile away, if your facade breaks even slightly, it gets infinitely worse. They never let my best friend, Liam, have any space, but what would you expect with a Fluids Type Toughman?
They call it Li-Ren Syndrome, and Liam has a Toughman variant of it, with his sweat turning to stone in the presence of “the body’s natural fear response.”
Why bully him, you might ask, well, why not?
They like to back Toughman types into corners, usually next to a toilet or something equally humiliating, and force them to sweat themselves into petrification. He misses a lot of class to it.
Me? I have Elementalism, the Li-Ren syndrome where victims can move heat and electricity supposedly at will. Supposedly, but we all know that’s not how it works in reality.
Some people envy those with Li-Ren, but those of us who have it often wish we didn’t. Others call it Superhero Syndrome, because some of us have used our abilities to do great services for humanity, but for every hero there’s someone who would rather break the rules to their own will, something I know all too well....
Regardless, with most people dying before they even get a chance to drive, I certainly wouldn’t call it a “superhero” syndrome.
