Ordinary #2

[history79]

"I’m big on theme being the controlling spine of a story. Here it’s ‘finding something extraordinary in the most ordinary person’, even if you can’t see that in your day to day surrounding. The title is something of a misnomer. Michael has to discover that he is far from ordinary. That plays into the narrative when it turns out that he being the sole human not affected by the plague means that he carries the cure somewhere inside him. But a lot of powerful people don’t want a cure, so suddenly Michael is hunted."

So she's a brilliant Scottish scientist who drinks beer as a 'screw you' to an asshole superior? I think her power is being a Warren Ellis character.

I was thinking "miraculous recovery from some kind of degenerative disease," but yours sounds better.

I would think being able to produce pints of lager out of thin air would be the greatest super power of all.
