First off: Jacob as a part of 4chan (or what I assume is 4chan)- hilarious. It's also smart in-universe since that's probably the greatest force the internet has to offer against any government of the world.
Next, SAAAAAAMMMMMMM. Of course he does the worksheets that no one else bothers to do. Of course he wants to be a superhero like batman but still thinks about the possibility of having all of the superowers. Of course he's the one who has to plant the seed of heroics in their brain. Because this is all of Sam's dreams come true (until he inevitably dies because I honestly cannot fathom how the plucky kid who wants to be a superhero and gives motivational speeches can ever live to the end in a superhero verse no matter how sad that might make me... Unless someone else close to him dies like Mercedes and he vows to avenge her).
I am soooooo glad that you averted the All Swords Are Katanas trope and did not give Kurt two katanas because, yeah, that definitely would not be feasible for when Kurt wants to be acrobatic stunts because they are long. Not anywhere near the longest sword, but I'm pretty sure this verse is not supposed to be run on the Rule of Cool (... Most of the time).
(Okay, I need to drop tvtropes speak before I accidentally venture over there and then I'll never come back and finish this review *sigh*)
I'm glad that Sue pointed out one of the fatal flaws in illusions. It really puts into perspective how Kurt should make sure he is adequate enough with his secondary powers such as the weapon handling just in case there are people fighting against him with cameras, electronics, mirrors, etc. It also makes me wonder, since I'm not familiar with the Marvel verse, what happens when two people with psychic powers use against each other (do they cancel each other out?). I mean, this might not ever be addressed in your fic, but it still makes the hamster wheels in my brain turn.
Anyway, I also like the contrast of Sam/Sue/Blaine about Kurt's future in maybe-heroics. What I liked the most about that is that it was all done in one chapter and not spread out, so it's easier for the reader to feel the almost push/pull effect between what Kurt will do in the future and basically his internal struggle.
Also, okay, I'm a total Kurtsie, so seeing Kurt in pain or conflicted or anything really is sort of painful for me as well (but putting him through that in my own fic or art? Nooooo problemo). So, how you depicted him struggling at the end really spoke to me (Punched me in the face emotionally, more like, but yeah).
Pairing wise, but: It's weird, reading the comments last chapter that other people left, but I feel sort of alone in that I started this fic off wanting Puck and Kurt to be reunited and ~rekindle~ their love (Because being a Kurtsie somehow made my brain also like any [or all at the same time *cough*] ND-boy/Kurt pairing combination my favorite ships), but the more chapters that are released and information is revealed, the more I don't want that to happen. *shrug* I just thought I would put that out there.
