So who do you think will actually become a villain? There's good arguments to be made in favor of almost all of them.

- Finesse is almost a sociopath, and has no real incentive to be a hero. However she also is smart enough to recognize why being a villain would suck, and go for more middle of the road shades of grey.

- Striker is in it for the fame. Being a criminal might get him on frontpages, but it wouldn't give him the right kind of attention.

- Hazmat carries around a lot of issues. If she didn't have any guidance from the "heroes" I have no doubt in my mind she would get into future trouble. One charismatic leader type like Osborn, or someone good at mind games like Moonstone could easily push her over the edge.

- Reptil wants to be a good person, so its very unlikely he'd go off the deep end. He's just emotionally fragile.

- Veil and Mettle both have this sort of wounded bird thing going. They seem like they're good people, but they keep giving hints about darker impulses. Mettle wants to be chill and upbeat but the fact that he may be stuck like that forever could really fuck with a guy. Veil meanwhile has all kinds of unrealistic expectations, and a small thirst for power.

What do you guys think?
