Terminally online lurker. Host to one cat lady, many cats, existential dread and more gray hair than I care to admit. Check Engine light has been on since 2011. Two spaces after a period—a habit it just doesn't feel right to break.

The old VW air-cooled Beetle / Microbus engines were made of a magnesium alloy and could be caught on fire.
But again, that takes deliberate effort... or a really catastrophic engine failure.

Good luck, you need a bit more surface area vs. mass to get magnesium to burn... but I remember reading about a test burn at Lawrence Livermore.

For someone who seems to have no shame... he certainly seems ashamed of what's in those files because he's spending a staggering amount of energy to keep them from seeing the light of day.

If Fen does end up turning into a dragon (which I probably should be writing as "draakin?") I can just see her knocking over her opponent, stepping on them while thundering "STAY." and the recipient suddenly developing a new kink.

Indeed!
About all we've seen in the matches are enhanced traction (8-116), CCs (8-121), simple grapples (8-123) and spawning what looks like a cudgel.
In 8-108, after climbing the giant tree, she takes the gravity-assist route back down & sprouts wings. Not exactly hiding a capability there.

Oh she's *really* pulling her punches.
6-28, she manages to hide INSIDE? AS PART OF a boulder?
6-39, she demonstrates she can alter her body mass and muscularity.
6-71, she can manifest wings & fly.
6-111, SHE CAN BE A WHOLE DRAGON.
And all that without Sha Vida's enhancement bracer.

We make a special fudge recipe for our nephew who has a list of food allergies as long as my arm.
The science of avoiding crystal formation is absolutely an art form!
We've been making it for *years* and we still can't quite get to "Grandma's Fudge."

Rubio's affirmation that to oppose fascism is to "undermine the foundations of Western Civilization" is telling in the extreme. The conservative movement hangs entirely on the belief that human beings are not fundamentally trustworthy and will not work together without the threat of punishment.
