It was obvious this was where his career was heading, when he started questioning the happy thoughts. He’s just been digging himself in deeper with all this continued talk of ‘sense’ making, whatever that means.
What about “suspension of disbelief killer” or “reality awareness lad”?
If he starts talking about guys looking at them through a screen we can call him “4th wall breaker”
No, no. If it’s the origin story that means he hasn’t gotten his powers yet. Maybe pointing out that the world makes no goddamn sense is all he can do right now, but he doesn’t become a full fledged supervillain until he learns to exploit the fact that the world makes no goddamn sense.
Trough
trɒf/
noun
noun: trough; plural noun: troughs

“a thirty-yard trough”
Of course it makes sense, all those that didn’t have the required secondary powers either fell to the center of the Earth and died or got flung off into space and died leaving only those that had the support powers necessary to remain on the Earth and not fall through floors and other walking surfaces like that. An example would be that Batman Beyond villain who overused the device that gave him phasing and as a result died when he fell through the building that they were fighting in to die at the center of the Earth.
Actually, a phasing character probably walks along the floor as a matter of will…Or more accurately, a Force of Habit.
Kitty Pride (Shadowcat of the X-Men) can indeed phase through floors & even “skywalk.” What keeps most others on top of the floor surface could just be the general expectation that the floor will hold them up, built up from all of the time that they might spend NOT being phased.
Since there’s a “scientific” explanation (for something that just doesn’t live up to real world science) for why that seems like a mistake, where can I pick up my No-Prize?
:D
This HAS to be Todd’s origin story. He’s starred in 3 strips in a row. He’s the villain that this world deserves, The-Only-Sane Man! (Plothole-Pointing-Out Man?)
Behold the origin of Reality Man, soon he will develop the power to make logic apply to any situation he pleases just by saying it, like a looney tune who stays afloat only until its pointed out he walked off a cliff.
God dammit Todd stop trying to apply real world logic in a city full of superheroes.
Yeah, playing Sancho Panza in a reality where the very laws of nature are big Don Quixote fans isn’t good for the blood pressure.

“What you seem to keep forgetting Todd, is that we’re not a charity. We do this job to make dollars, not sense.”
No,no,no. Corporations are for world domination or preventing world domination, not making dollars.
Todd should harness his talent in being a critic.
Episode 10 find JACKA….VILLAIN who is messing with the laws of reality.
Is the origin story for supervillain the Logician?
Maybe. But he won’t get caught.

Being fired for having common sense means that you have to start your own business and become a billionaire.

What? We’re nitpicking aren’t we?
Trough wall walking isn’t as easy as Todd makes it sound. You lose your balance, you’re falling through the floor!

Called it. :D
My happy thought protecting the psychic was you getting tossed out, Todd.
Keep this up, Todd, and our entire company is likely to vanish in a puff of logic. The stockholders won’t be happy.
Or breathe, for that matter. All those “out of phase” stories forget that bit.

Here an political uncorrect joke:
Man got X-ray vision.
All woman got breast cancer.
