All in all, not a bad speech, especially given that it was essentially dumped on her unawares.
Xel Unknown
She’s a born hero… And sometimes heroism is doing speeches to INSPIRE others to greatness… IT’s the best part of the job in my opinion.

Maybe that is Foraks real power as a hero? Bringing others into the situation where they can do the most good.
While they might be annoyed by what he does, they will be quickly swept away by whatever he started.
Rick
Well, while that’s subtle enough to escape notice, and thus death, back home, it would only be really useful on Earth. If it were powerful enough to get him sent to Earth, it’s no longer subtle enough to escape notice on Argos… so he’d be dead.
Final analysis: another case of God protecting fools and nothing more.
OTOH, I’m really starting to get irritated with 71, who seems to be pushing this agenda.
Unmaker
From reactions earlier, 71 is more “clueless fan boy” than manipulator. Remember that 71 himself believes Julie is behind a lot of this, so as a fan he works for “her” (Forak’s) agenda.

This makes me cringe for 84’s sake. I guess making you care about the characters is a sign of a good story line.
She is still not exposing Forak’s manipulation, which means he can and will continue to manipulate her.

She’s uncomfortable, but it’s making all these other people happy. Those darn heroic instincts again.
Rock
Not bad, as improvisations go. ^_^ 84 is doing quite, quite well, being basically honest while maintaining the renewed confidence of a group of people who had been marginalized in their ‘profession’.
Opus the Poet
I have seen (and given) much worse speeches.

A short course in public speaking might be useful at PS 238. Just as long as they don’t all start sounding like those two annoying super patriots.
Orion Fury
I think you misspelled ‘awesome’.
Rock
YMMV, but I think they won’t have a chance to become awesome until they form their own opinions, rather than parroting the political propaganda they’ve been spoonfed since their powers started manifesting…
Pietro
That’s about as well as I can do with speechin’. Good work 84!

Given that public speaking is supposedly one of the things a lot of people really fear, perhaps one of the metahuman abilities should be to do it without feeling anxious. (Not necessarily doing a good job – just not stressing about it.)

I am surprised that no one else is numbered yet.

I think a point to consider is how the average super-hero perceives things in the PS238 universe. 84 herself noted in an earlier issue that people gawking when she and Tyler’s clone showed up above ground when he rifted them there that the usual starting age of supers was like 10 or 11, making it sound like people felt it normal for people with super-powers to start at young ages. So it could be that from their perspective it’s much like in the Pokemon universe that relatively adulthood is considered to start much sooner than we consider acceptable today. Treating 84 like she’s just another adult may be the normal thing and the actions of 71 being something you could expect rather than treat as an exception.
Prairie Son
14, actually.
But yes, people seem to grow up fast in the supers genre. Well, most of them, at least. Probably related to how much time they have to spend in combat.
Faust
Responsibility and such are also factors.
Rick
I had the impression (and this may be from reading the game, rather than the comics) that super teens were, relatively seeking, common but super children were fairly rare… Hence the establishment of PS238!
The earliest books certainly make it clear it’s the first of its kind. And, given the level of political (as opposed to bureaucratic) interest, it’s evident that no others exist in the US.
