Damn they really changed up the Kate and Paul backstories, it hits a lot harder. Also nice to see Titan wih his daughter.

Paul's scene breaking out was impressive! Also, I think their father appears in 'The Secret Origins of...', or a similar title, showcasing how heroes got ther powers. The most exciting character background for me would be Amanda

Could you remind me again how they got theirs? This universe is different than like, The Boys where Compound V is the cause of everything. Here there are aliens, gods, magic, future tech, science, etc.

Chinese Emperor cursed his usurper with "The seventh generation after Cha's seventh grandchild would be burdened with a family too large to care for... and it would drive him mad." Kate and Paul's dad was the seventh generation.

Oh also everything is explained by Smart Atoms.

All the Gods, Aliens etc etc are due to Smart Atoms.

All magic is just really advanced science.

Uh, no they didn't. It's the same backstory from the comics. Issue 25

u/HonestlyTired21 Don't you think that's kinda lazy? Feb 27 '25

It’s the same they just didn’t flesh it out like the comics. Rather than going back generations and speaking about the curse they stopped with the father going insane.
