Three days later.
Over those three days.
He had barely stepped through that door.
He had finished copying Stormfront's plasma lightning, Mother's Milk's and Black Noir's super physique, Hughie's teleportation, and Butcher's heat vision.

The half-meter-thick alloy target plate was erased outright.
The edges were so smooth it made his scalp
