I've been constantly bugged by trying to determine how "blackouts caused by a deranged alter-ego who seems to be the one ultimately in control of things" counts as a superpower. (Other than in the lead for "Suckiest Super Power Ever" -- even counting the super-strength bonus.)
Then it occurred to me watching this last one: What's a (good) Super-Villan, but someone with super-powers used for evil?
Who says Niki is (is going to be) a "Hero" in this piece...?
After all, while not very comic-book in style, the best villains are the conflicted ones you understand, not the random inexplicable monsters. And Niki isn't in control of this. And even evil!Niki is motivated by survival and love of Micah.
It definitely sucks to be her... I'm just starting to think it may never get any better for her. :-/
