Question just posed by Alicia Smith - what sort of super powers would a super with a name of "Coronal Mass Ejection" have?

(And no, causing solar flares is not allowed.)

    If you're going to disallow solar flares I'm going to go with superhero tabloids getting the science of what they're seeing wrong and go with what's actually a volcanic eruption...

    I'm sure that's an easy enough mistake to make if you're trying to observe from a safeish distance whilst ducking for cover...

    Fry the grid, satellites, and all communications... bring warmongers and nations to their knees, selectively.

    You might be able to grow food crops selectively, in a comic book version; and heal 'dark sickness' and of course, cause radiation burns.

    Wreak havoc on weather systems, cause/relieve drought, control animal migrations and moods, tides, fertility, and... oooo, this is getting nifty!

    Hmmm ... Coronal obviously means pertaining to Coroners. Therefore Coronal Mass Ejection must cause all Coroners to leave their offices and by extension it probably includes all US style elected officials.
    Coronal Mass Ejection is credited with saving over 40% of Californian public servants when the big one hit by getting them instantly out of collapsing buildings.

    Would be good for removing the nobility come the revolution?

    Only if the nobility were stupid enough to get themselves elected as public officials. Most will just buy their officials in bulk as required.
    Or are you asserting that coronal pertains to coronets?

This Experiment Failed

(End credits, Excel Saga) Yes, today I have a very sad tale to share in my cyanography experiments. You remember last time, I shared this: Well, I have experimented further with inkjet photo paper, and made some very unpleasant discoveries along the way. The first is the streaking - without using a non-contact application method, I am not going to avoid it. The gel surface is just too fragile. So if I want to persist with this, it will be out with the air-brush. I somehow doubt I am going to find spray-cans of cyanotype sensitiser, after all.  The second is in washing. Because there is no cellulose for the Prussian Blue to bond with, the washing inevitably destroys the image, meaning that you cannot preserve the image long-term. This also means that you end up including the un-exposed chemicals in the scan, which adds considerable grain and loss of contrast - especially in the high-tones of the inverted image.  This second issue is essentially insoluble, which is a pity, as it would h
