![]() It is revealed that Megan betrayed the Reckoners as they began to target important parts of Steelheart's infrastructure by infiltrating the organization and feeding information to Steelheart. While fighting Nightwielder, David finds Megan and comes to the conclusion that she is the Epic named Firefight as reincarnation is one of her abilities. The Reckoners abandoned the base and burned everything they left inside, including Megan's remains, in order to cover their tracks. After Prof rescued the two of them and brought them back to the Reckoners' base, Megan died of her injuries despite Tia's attempt to treat her. David defended her from their pursuers and confessed his infatuation for her while she lay unconscious. The vehicle crashed, mortally injuring Megan. Eventually, she grew fond of him anyway, and the two developed a rapport.Īfter the Reckoners' hit on Conflux went awry, David and Megan attempted to escape together on a motorcycle. Megan later explained that she became hostile towards David after he started convincing the other Reckoners to target Steelheart because she believed that killing Steelheart would do more harm than good. David found his interactions with her to be inconsistent and confusing initially, she seemed impressed by his skills and suggested to Prof that they take him on, but later she dismissed his plans and arguments related to killing Steelheart as absurd and generally treated him with irritation and disdain. After Megan and David take down the two Epics, Megan takes the eager newcomer to her team. When another Epic named Curveball appeared, David assumed that the plan was going awry and he intervened, ruining the entire plan. She actively works with the Reckoners towards their goal to defeat Steelheart.īy Miguel Coimbra Meeting David Charleston ĭavid encountered Megan while observing the Reckoners' attempt to assassinate the High Epic, Fortuity. She appears to have joined the Reckoners with his knowledge (at least as far as no lenience is shown towards her or her cell from Enforcement or Nightwielder). ![]() She appears to have a genuine hatred for Epics, but she is willing to accept Steelheart as a ruler because he maintains stability and order in Newcago. Megan joined the Reckoners sometime before the book starts. Her house burned down when she was very young, and she has nightmares about this. Her father believed that a nuclear apocalypse was on the horizon, a belief Megan scorned at the time, and trained his children in hunting and other survival skills. Megan's weakness comes from when her house was burned down when she was young. Megan confronted her fear, dispelling the majority of the darkness, but she still feels its effects if she overuses her abilities, or after reincarnating. She thinks that if she is killed by fire, she won't reincarnate. The ability to reincarnate makes her a High Epic.įire causes the shadows that Megan summons to be dispelled. For this reason, she had a camera to send a recording to her new incarnation should something happen to her. ![]() However, a big portion of her memory is lost in the process, also causing part of her personality to change. Megan has the ability to reborn with a new body roughly one day after her death. ![]() However, stretching her ability makes her prone to the corruption of Calamity. When Megan stretches her ability or within a very short time after her reincarnation, she can be powerful enough to make her illusions become real, creating actual effects and bordering on omnipotence. ![]() This can be used to somewhat predict the future if something is going to happen, it is possible that it will happen the same way as Megan's illusions. Also, since the ability tends to pull things from a "nearby" parallel universe (among the Reckoners Multiverse), a tricky fact is that the illusions she creates are actually possibilities. This caused the illusions she creates to be extremely realistic, nearly impossible to distinguish using any detecting method. Megan's power was originally assumed to be the ability to create illusions, but in fact, her power "pulls" items from another reality into this reality. She is an extremely accurate shooter, which helped with the fact that she has no offensive epic powers. By Jamie Knierim Portrait of Megan's dimensional double, Firefight ![]()
