She could kill everyone there with basically zero effort and it's not even clear what it would require to take her down.

Psychic attacks, probably. But the only person with mental powers is a good friend of her.

Old age maybe?

Perhaps also radiation?


Nothing practical, really.

Sonar is probably tier one in that he can hear a pin drop during rush hour. Perhaps hear a punch coming and dodge (most of) the blow.

It's just that bullets travel faster than sound.

The really interesting thing when considering tiers, is that all the ACTUAL tier one (i.e. people with ridiculous, world-altering or world-saving powers) all got killed off...

Alison could change the world if she thought it through.

Oh no, Alison's greatest foe- 5 guys with guns! How will she overcome such a threat?

They'd be a distraction while Moonshadow does her throat-cutting. Not that she really needs it, but doesn't hurt to have some help.

She's a world famous superpowered serial killer. Would you run screaming at her if she just beat down your team without said team knowing what the gently caress?

It is possible she is doing this alone with the ton of money she has, but I would not be surprised if she turns out to have a partner.

Patrick has love affairs with all kinds of female Superheroes (maybe even some male) and is pushing them all ever so slowly over to the supervillain camp. Moonshadow just responded to the pushing faster than most.

Depending on how strong her invisibility is (hiding her temperature etc.) would it even matter that she's outed? Keep in mind Moonshadow is a deranged serial killer, she probably craves the attention. Probably wants to prove to the world she's now a better super than Mega Girl, killing right under her nose and getting away with it.

The best way to go about changing history:

Travel back to a set point in time, let's say 10 000 years ago. Find a safe place, wait for a few hours to see if you show up.

Go to the time where you actually want to change history.

Go back to the present, see if you like the results.

If you like the results, go back 10 000 years ago and tell yourself to go ahead.

If you didn't show up 10 000 years ago to give yourself the go-ahead, think of a better plan or scrap time travel all together.

If you're going that far back, you'll find nearly everybody was a colossal poo poo. It just so happens that in SFP, Patrick realizes what a colossal poo poo he is and tries to cancel it out by taking out the big conspiracy. After that is done, he'll probably aim to get into some form of powerful political or economic position.
