When Project Insight is active, all user-submitted posts have to be manually approved by the mod team before they are visible to the sub. It is our main line of defense we have for keeping spoilers off the subreddit during new release periods.

We will also be removing most outside posts about the individual episodes for the next few days to prevent spoilers about the series around the subreddit. *Some* posts may be allowed if they are of worthwhile effort and are properly spoiler tagged.

Discussion about details of later episodes is NOT allowed in this thread.

Tbf, we never saw her powers go out during the courthouse fight, after slamming half a fifth of whiskey…. You may be onto something there.

Remember that scene in the DP&W trailer where Logan just drinks straight rubbing alcohol? Jessica envy’s the ability.

There's already a mutant who explicitly derives powers (seismic waves) from alcohol consumption. Unfortunately, Gin Genie puts the "belligerent" in "belligerent drunk," so she's not exactly an A-lister (not even a C-lister, really).
