That would be good. Then they just need to keep him unconscious until they can figure a way to ‘fix’ him. Like some sort of induced coma.

I can very easily visualize that. Especially since it’s a common theme 🙂

True about Max being able to be convinced to do it willingly. Especially by someone like Patrick, who knows exactly how to convince people to do things.

Also true about it possibly not being intentional.

Honestly I hope this was natural though, because if Patrick’s powers can go from reading thoughts to being able to project thoughts, that means Max’s power might be able to advance naturally from ‘augmenting powers’ to ‘suppressing or removing powers.’ Which would be a really good way to get back at Alison (which I’d consider a good thing since removing the power of an unstoppable tyrant who is all too willing to use violence to force their way of thinking on others against their will). Plus Max could also really do some other good if he wanted for some people – biodynamics who’s lives have been ruined by their powers (like the girl who is trapped in water, or the girl who is in a gaseous state, or who cannot live normal lives anymore in a way they’d like to do (like Amanda or the girl who got angry at the green girl) or people who are dying slowly and painfully from their biodynamism (like Cleaver) or others who have used their powers to murder people and might cause real harm to the planet (like Patrick now).

Makes me think more about Magneto from the first X-Men movie, but yeah – Manchester Black works for that comparison too 🙂

He would probably be a lot more willing to use his powers to protect himself from being brutalized and threatened with murder by Alison a second time though. He already knows Alison will do it again if she wants, so if he had the ability to nullify her power to force him against this will and remove his autonomy, don’t see why he shouldn’t consider doing that.

Although if you mean the part about Max augmenting Patrick, I do think that his willingly augmenting Patrick would probably be against Max’s nature as well, just like he didn’t want to use his powers to augment Feral (although his main reason for that was more because of how Alison went about ‘asking’ – demanding, belittling, and threatening). But still have to remember that Patrick is extremely good at manipulating people, finding their mental weak spots and knowing which buttons to push to get them to do what he wants them to do. He’s a lot more subtle than Alison’s blunt force approach.
