An earthquake?
Before the reporters could voice their confusion, Heros's right hand moved slightly, causing the trident in his hand to sway with it.

Moreover, neither of those abilities was something the Super Heroes under Vought could compare with.
Foreseeing the future was far more incredible than controlling geological activity.
Heros withdrew the trident and ignored the reporters who were still frozen in a daze. Instead, he conjured the Golden War Spear in his right hand and
