Batman is the worlds greatest detective and has an above genius-level IQ, I think that counts. Also been exposed to numerous chemical weapons and mutagens...

Re: Ascendant
Doesn't count as an ascendancy for the purposes of this.
For the record, the accepted can all start. Do your owj thing for now, but we should all end up, eventually, in Ireland. For Futurecon. Then Plot will occur.

Vladimir boarded his flight to Britain. He was going to stay in London for a couple of nights before going to Futurecon. He breezed through security, and settled in for the long flight.

Oh oh but what if someone has a magic biological mutation thing but they can only use it with the assistance of mechanical apparatus?

And how is it cyberpunk if it's less than ten years in the future? When in history did things change?
