[HoE] [HOPLER] The Phil. Kid *some possible spoilers*

[Steve Crow <crow_steve@hotmail.com>]

Again, while rereading the Children of the Atom book (always a dangerous 
past time), we noticed something...


*SPOILER SPACE*















It's noted that the Philadelphia Kid is _real_ good at jumping.  Mad Jack 
certainly describes him that way (page 34).  But...his stats don't seem to 
indicate anything of the sort (page 102).  In fact, his Nimbleness and his 
Strength (the two things you think would be most useful for jumping) are 
just a tad above average at best.  Neither he or Blue Note seem to actually 
have anything power-wise that would make him a good jumper.

Speaking of which...how do folks know that the Kid is a Doomsayer, anyway?  
Granted, he wears purple and has the Omega sign on his chest.  But in fact, 
he actually doesn't seem to have any...well, visible Doomsayer-type powers.  
All he's got is Sustenance and Tolerance.  And yet Joan and her folks are 
suspicious of where he got his powers (again, page 102).  Ummm, what powers? 
  How do they know he has any powers?  Sustenance and Tolerance aren't 
exactly what you'd call high-profile stuff.

I suppose the Kid just wanders around the Wastelands Toleratin' people, but 
this doesn't seem to jibe with his normal tactics.  But me, I'd be wondering 
if he actually _was_ a Doomsayer, rather than how he got whatever alleged 
powers he has...
