@darkazrael999: he would only be impervious to physical harm if he dematerializes in his smoke form, but he cant stay like that forever, he is much more likely to be tired or run out of energy before alex does. when delsin is in normal form alex only has to give him one good punch to destroy him. I agree with the last statement if it was another conduit or normal person, but alex is leagues ahead of any conduit when it comes to physical force. delsin flipped a car when he was supplemented by his smoke powers but alex flips tanks with no enhancements whatsoever.
side note: whats a good way to rationalize th video ability. because I agree with what you said, he seems to control pixels or digital information and be able to express it in the natural world or something like that. Is there a name for that power because I don't know it. Concrete is terrakinesis ( I don't know why they want just refer to it as rock lol) neon powers are a specializes version of photokinesis, so on and so forth but I have very little understanding of the video power.
Well, do you remember when you have to face those drug dealers for the first time in that tunnel? And Delsin get's shot in the chest, point-blank, by that goon. And he recovers right after. That 'healing factor' that he has; I think that it's not so much healing but more of a side-effect of his whole body being composed of Smoke-Particles.
I came to the conclusion that upon activating a specific power, Delsin automatically changes the composition of entire physique. For example:- Upon activating 'Smoke', he can make it so that his entire body is composed of 'Smoke/Ash' particles as evidenced by when he uses his 'Smoke Dash' or 'Orbital Drop' maneuver. And he hasn't mastered his abilities to the fullest. I believe that upon mastering them, he can be impervious to physical attack (just change to smoke everytime someone is about to throw a punch, just like Marvel's Sandman does) and he may not have to keep draining Smoke or Neon after every 5 minutes of combat.
VIDEO
I have been thinking about Video and I believe that potentially, it's an incredibly powerful ability. I mean look at how Eugene wields it. He can actually bring to life, the characters from a game and the way he changes the entire landscape of his hideout. Not to forget, the giant Angel-esque being he loves to make.
The only conclusion that I can reach is that he somehow harnesses digital media and creates hard-light constructs and he can either subsequently control these constructs or give them sentience of their own. I believe it's the former. And all that 'opening portals' thing, I believe that's just his sub-consciousness trying to 'rationalize his ability', so to speak, and telling him that he can create portals from the game-world to the real-world.
But I believe that he just creates Hard-Light constructs by harnessing Digital Data. I hope I make sense, lol.
