Here's an amusing dilemma: I received a perfect copy of all three of the Prana. But all of my former powers and abilities... gone. All I have is a healthy adult body and a blue teardrop-shaped crystal necklace. Oh, and an absolutely hilariously overpowered powerset, thanks to the Prana, because with a small bit of creativity I can stop time for myself long enough to replicate the majority of what I want. Even if it isn't a perfect imitation, it's enough to do the trick. Especially since I can get into my warehouse and wear my armor, of course.

After that, it's simply a matter of patience and seeing who starts causing waves. Sure, I have the Device Tracker, but quite frankly I feel that's better used once I have an excuse to do so. If one of the people who has my power is using it responsibly... well, it was mine first.

There may be some matter of misunderstanding, since one of the three who got my power was a heretofore unknown construction worker who decided to start playing Superman with the magic and FISS package he had, and even if I gave him powers after I took mine, I still ended up lambasted as a horrible villain by the media because we kind of wrecked a quarter of Seoul.

Or maybe it was because Bloody Queen, the chairperson of the Humankind Security Committee, got another third of my abilities and the battle caused her to create a handful of time-jumping chronoclones before I stripped my power from her, which wrecked another quarter of Seoul.

And of course for maximum irony, Metheos gained a hilariously massive power-up that turned him into an eldritch entity.

Actually, yeah, I kind of understand why literally everyone wants to take my head...
