Who gave me superpowers?!
[The camera flips from Nightwing's masked face around to a doorway. The door is lying on the ground, ripped clean off its hinges because Nightwing was in a hurry.
It's his first Sanguis...]
I'm not Superman! I don't want to be Superman! No offense to the big guy, but I've been working my whole life to perfect my acrobatics, my detective work, my martial arts, and now-- all of that-- is just going to waste?
[He is not Superman, but he's starting to feel like Superboy circa five years ago.]
Whatever. Now I have to figure out the exact extent of this stupid, stupid development so I don't accidentally kill somebody.
Who's got some heavier-duty doors I can rip off? This one is a good standard control. Actually, I have no idea what the control for this experiment would look like, just that I want to be gathering a lot of data.
[In other words, who wants a fight?]

Those are valid concerns and probably what you should focus on than being special at not being special, though.
...are you the reckless idiot with anger issues?

Not usually! This is not me. This stupid moon isn't just messing with my upper body strength but my actual brain chemistry? How does a moon do that? I know a guy who gets super strength because our planet has a yellow sun but his doesn't, but suns give off radiation, energy, stuff that can affect. Moons generally don't, do they?

Could just be gods and their magic, rather than any hard science.
[ At least he’s not always a reckless idiot with anger issues. Assuming he’s telling the truth, Minato feels a bit more sympathy now. ]
Not saying you have to like it. I don’t really like mine. Being faster than normal is fine, I guess, but I keep slipping on ice I accidentally make. But I guess just learn to cope? It is temporary, after all.

There's this guy, Captain Cold. Likes to rob banks and take over max security prisons, you know? Typical bad guy stuff. His M.O. is shooting ice at guys with superspeed. Eventually, they learned to just... Use the momentum to get where they're going.
Best coping I can do now is finding a new door.
