| - | Ahldorae's population exhibits a poorly studied phenomenon, thought to be a dramatic intensification of DNA mutations by Ahldorae-specific environmental factors, that result in the occasional births of individuals with super powers. Super powers range from incredible strength and being able to wield various forms of energy, to the more exotic ones, such as having a phantom live a full blown life while its counterpart sleeps. | + | Ahldorae's population exhibits a poorly studied phenomenon, thought to be a blend of DNA mutations and environmental factors, that result in the occasional births of individuals with super powers. Super powers range from incredible strength and being able to wield various forms of energy, to the more exotic ones, such as having a phantom live a full blown life while its counterpart sleeps. |
| - | The percentage of the population with such abilities is incredibly low, leading to a colloquial “rule of 5”, which states that at any point in time there bound to be no more than 5 superhero warriors. While an actual average based on historical data actually estimates this number to be slightly over 9, the rule does its job at stressing how rare the phenomenon is. | + | The percentage of the population with such abilities is incredibly low, leading to a colloquial “rule of 5”, which states that at any point in time there bound to be no more than 5 superhero warriors.

| - | The term “superhero warrior” is arguably outdated. It was common to use any super ability for conquest, but that hasn't been always done in the past, nor is it commonly done today. Nevertheless, the term is widely used to refer to persons with super abilities as either “superheroes” or “superhero warriors”. In fact, in spite of the latter term being longer, it is used more often. | + | The term “superhero warrior” is arguably outdated.

| - | Although being born a superhero warrior is generally considered a blessing, since the very early days of the Ahldoraean civilization there has always been a movement that considered it prudent to conceal one's abilities for a long period of time or throughout the whole life. Several shadow superhero warriors have been suspected behind a number of historical events, and some have come out as they reached older age. | + | Although being born a superhero warrior is generally considered a blessing, since the very early days of the Ahldoraean civilization there has always been a movement that considered it prudent to conceal one's abilities for a long period of time or throughout the whole life.
