Drawing on her extensive knowledge, Psykos came up with a plausible explanation that held together.
In fact, her explanation came remarkably close to the truth.
Even Superalloy Darkshine himself did not know that his body had developed the ability to accumulate fatigue like metal.
The stranger part was that when metal sustained damage, that fatigue remained permanently. The process was irreversible: once the fatigue reached its limit, even the slightest force could make the metal break apart.
