Capes come from Scion, and it spread from there.

@whisper_in_the_dark
Although this was popularized by the book "Touched by a God" (1984), it's been repeatedly debunked by researchers.
Scion has been documented in three independently corroborated cases to have healed a person's wounds or illnesses in the 35 years he's been active.
The current body of research does not support extraterrestrial causation. Nor does it support singular-source transmission models. The data is very conclusive about that.
Extensive research has been done about the radial spread of similar abilities among people. Although early theories did postulate the potential for a microbial-based vector, it's a separate and different mechanism that's still being actively studied. The Schwartzfield Theory is the best working model that we have currently, which states that it's largely the combination of proximity and environmental factors that can cause the spread of abilities. However, even that model is incomplete.

No offense, Glory, but I liked you more when you were the blonde bimbo who punched people through buildings.
Just kidding. You sound like a major nerd. Is there a term for nerds who can snap you like a twig? I feel like we need one. Please don't kill me.

Replied On Jul 7th 2017:
The burden of proof rests on the person proposing the alien hypothesis.
The fact of the matter is that, according to our current consensus, we simply don't know, and you shouldn't trust anyone who claims otherwise. Is it possible it's aliens? Yes, but it's equally unlikely as any other dubious claims you could make, such as the source of parahuman abilities being tiny invisible space wizards, or a plate of cosmic pasta. That's the problem with unfalsifiable claims. If one could be true, any and all competing claims could also be true.
There's a nearly infinite amount of potential theories out there, but Parahuman Sciences deals with facts. Observable, repeatable, verifiable experimentation, rigorous testing, and peer review. Anything less is edging into woo-woo territory, and I don't speculate on woo-woo.

Woe unto thee, stiff-necked generation.
Ye bow before idols of thine own delusion, though his angels walk among you in plain sight.
Ye trade the GLORY of the ONE TRUE GOD for Golden Calves!
Repent, lest the fires ye mock descend upon thee.
For the heavens are not silent, though ye have stopped thine ears.

BB11 ONLINE Presents: The Friday Scoop
The hottest headlines as we head into the weekend! Click the links for full articles posted publicly on our website [HERE]!
Brockton Bay City Council to Hold Additional Hearings on Homelessness.
The city council, having held hearings for the past three months on proposals and offers from various companies and contractors, was set to make a decision by August 1st on which of the proposals they are going to proceed with to address the housing issues and homelessness in the city. Last week's meeting on the matter was intended to hear the complaints from business and property owners in the potentially impacted rezoning areas. Proceedings were disrupted by the attendance of protesters, who argued that the plaintiffs were trying to profiteer off the rezoning proposals. A two-week extension has been granted for the final decision on the contentious topic. [Full Story]
Christian Charity Fundraiser Reports Massive Success.
Grace Ministries, in conjunction with the local branch of the Christian hero team, Haven, had a record-breaking turnout for their charity dinner and auction. Millions of dollars were raised through the sale of donated art pieces, as well as access passes to special private events hosted by the heroes themselves. Proceeds are to go to Grace Ministries, a youth outreach and charitable organization, also owned by Haven's parent non-profit organization. [Full Story]

Brockton Strong Throws Weight Behind Push for Workers' Rights.
Brockton Strong made an announcement this week that it will be backing and providing legal assistance to city workers pushing to unionize. Brockton Strong, having been a strong proponent for labor movements since its inception, is expected to have a major impact on the current battle between the state and the city workers. Tensions remain high as the looming threat of a general strike persists through the hottest months of the summer. Professor Erica Gladly joins us to discuss the potential outcomes and to describe the "stabilizing factor" of Brockton Strong getting involved in the full interview. [Full Story]
Brockton Bay University Announces Expansion to Athletics Department.
Chancellor Price released a statement this week about the successful funding drive to expand BBU's athletic department. As part of the proposal, a new gymnasium with modern equipment will be built starting in the fall. The old facility will be demolished, and the space repurposed to construct a new biomedical department for the university. Additional departmental shifts are expected, but "...disruptions to the educational programs will be minimized." The proposal will be part of a 4-year construction plan to expand the university by over 50%, and includes renovations and improvements for nearly every department. [Full Story]
Emergency Services Deployed to Water Treatment Plant.
Fire, Medical, and Law Enforcement units were deployed to a decommissioned municipal water treatment facility in northern Brockton Bay at roughly 10 AM this morning. Shortly after their arrival, the PRT responded along with the BBPD Crime Scene Investigations unit. The area remains cordoned off. BBPD has declined to comment, other than to say it is an active crime scene and under investigation. Local Super-Sleuth Insight was spotted by BB11 reporters entering and leaving the scene. She declined to comment beyond stating it was under investigation. It appears to be a joint investigation with both local and Federal authorities collaborating. More news as it develops [HERE].
BREAKING: Jogger Finds Severed Limb Running on Beach.
A local resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, spoke with BB11 about finding a severed human limb on the beach during his morning run. "It was gruesome. I thought it was a prank at first, or maybe a piece of a mannequin washed ashore. When I got closer, I could see it was... real." "I called the police. There were... crabs. I scared them off and tried not to disturb... the scene." "The cops showed up, and while I was still talking to them, the PRT showed up in big vans. The sun was barely even up, and there were all these people in uniforms everywhere." It is unknown if there is any link between this story and the incident at the water treatment plant.

Skitter
Aliases:
Bug Girl, Queen Bee, Hive Queen, Swarmer, Biblical Plague
Civilian Name:
Taylor Hebert
Status:
Active, Unmasked(1)
Age:
24
Gender:
Female
Classification:
Master 8(2)
Thinker 3(3)
Team(s):
Brockton Strong, Independent
Protectorate ENE, Hero
Location:
Brockton Bay
Synopsis:
Skitter is a hero and active member of the Protectorate ENE. She is the cofounder of Brockton Strong, and serves as the leader of their independent parahuman team in Brockton Bay. Skitter originally debuted as a villain and member of The Undersiders in April of 2011. Following the Brockton Bay Battle Against Leviathan in May of 2011, she switched sides and joined the Wards ENE, along with Several Other members of the Undersiders.
Skitter was an active member of the Wards ENE until her graduation in 2013, where she was immediately recruited by the Protectorate ENE team. Following major rumors and speculation, she publicly unmasked her civilian identity in 2012, along with several other members of Brockton Strong. Among other capes in Brockton Bay, Skitter is noted as having a strong presence(4) and work ethic. She is often seen leading the Protectorate ENE team in the absence of Miss Militia, and it is the subject of regular debate(5) whether Skitter or Eclipse will become the next leader of the Protectorate ENE team. Skitter often collaborates with New Wave in addition to her work with Brockton Strong.
She is a second-generation graduate of Brockton Bay University with a Master’s Degree in English Literature.
Abilities:
Skitter holds two official PRT classifications as a Master 8 and as a Thinker 3. It is known that she can control insects, worms, and some sea life.(6) She most commonly uses flying insects in combination with non-flying species, using one to transport the other. Her abilities synergize well with some of her teammates, notably Deadlock(7) and Vista.
She is able to perceive insects in the area around her and use them to gather data(8), giving her a Thinker classification. It is speculated that she might be able to gain additional types of information from her insects, but she has declined to answer details. It’s not known how far her control extends, but it has been documented to have a radius ranging from a few hundred feet to several miles. She does not appear to have a limit on the number of insects she can control at once.
Appearance:
Skitter has worn a number of suits over the years with varying levels of complexity. She’s stated that she’s both crafted her own suits, as well as worn suits made for her by her friends and allies in the past. She holds multiple patents for high-end fabrics, notably DuraWeave, DynaSilk, and FlexShell. These materials are used almost exclusively for the manufacture of Parahuman Suits. Based on the timing of changes to her past suits, she appears to perform testing for these materials by incorporating them into her own suits before they’re available on the market.
Skitter is known to use several different suits presently. She wears a composite suit consisting of hard armor plating and fabrics of a similar design to her Wards Debut Suit. She also wears an Organic Exoskeletal Suit of a similar design to suits worn by Praxis. It is rumored that the suits are manufactured by Ambrosia Biotechnology, or by Praxis herself. Her exoskeletal suit is capable of flight and has enhanced performance similar to Tinker Exos. The suits incorporate some technology, according to Kid Win.(9)

Aliases:

Civilian Name:
Morgan Rivera(2)
Status:
Deceased, Unmasked(3)
Age:
18
Gender:
Female
Classification:
Changer 8(4)
Brute 8(5)
Stranger 4(6)
Team(s):
Brockton Strong, Independent
Protectorate ENE, Hero
Location:
Brockton Bay
Synopsis:
Apex was a hero, former Team Leader of Protectorate ENE and member of Wards ENE. She was the cofounder of Brockton Strong, along with Skitter. She is most well-known for assembling and leading the team(7) that killed Leviathan during the Brockton Bay Leviathan Attack. She also served as the leader of Brockton Strong from inception until the time of her death.
Apex was formerly known by another cape identity prior to her debut as Apex: Phoenix Strike, who was a member of Wards ENE from 2010-2011. Speculation about Apex was rampant on the Parahumans Online boards when she first made her debut with Glory Girl. Theories ranged from potentially being a nascent Endbringer to being a Case 53. One board user(8) correctly drew a link between Apex and Phoenix Strike after examining cellphone footage of Apex subduing members of the Azn Bad Boyz using a “tentacle whip” and comparing it to previous images of a Wards ENE battle in February 2011. It was speculated that Apex was a Second Trigger cape due to the radical change in her anatomy.
Apex was killed in the final battle with the Slaughterhouse Nine. She was attacked with a Tinkertech Device created by Bonesaw which caused her to disintegrate a few minutes after exposure. A life-sized monument of her was erected on the site of the battle, in the middle of Brockton Bay University.
Abilities:
Apex held two high-level PRT ratings as a Changer and Brute, along with a secondary classification as a Stranger.(9) She is described as being a self-Biokinetic, although according to reliable sources,(10) she has used her ability to render medical assistance on more than one occasion.
Apex was able to shape-shift on a limited basis into other forms, including a human form. Contrary to popular belief, her “base” form was that of Apex, and not how she appeared as Phoenix Strike. She was only able to hold other forms for a limited amount of time before having to revert back to her “base” form. Because of her sudden disappearance and shapeshifting ability, there remains a number of conspiracy theories that Apex faked her death. Both her family and the PRT have issued statements debunking these allegations.
The following abilities have been confirmed and are categorized into two groups for each of her known forms.
Human Form:
- Enhanced Strength
- Regeneration (low)
- Tentacle Whip(s)
- Knockout Darts
- Martial Arts (skilled)
- Color/Pigment Shifting
Apex Form:
- Superhuman Strength (high)(11)
- Superhuman Durability (very high)(12)
- Armored Body
- Enhanced Stamina
- Superhuman Reflexes
- Enhanced Senses
- Flight (physical)
- Enhanced flexibility
