Editing Scion (section)

===Regeneration===
Scion's body is only an extension of a vastly larger being, and so cannot sustain any meaningful damage. Any damaged tissue is replaced within a fraction of a second with a practically unlimited supply of undamaged tissue from the main body. This happens so fast, it is almost impossible to tell that he was ever injured.<ref>Eidolon used his matter creation power.  As with the Faerie Queen's monster of steel, this was derived from a single point, an expanding creation of matter.  In this case, however, it was an ''explosion''.  Carbon unfolded from a single point.  Eidolon chose Scion's right ear canal as the center point.<br /><br />The carbon expanded as a sphere, and there was a glimmer of Scion's reaction as the orb expanded until it was a hundred feet across.  A distortion, golden flesh stretching.<br /><br />Blood?<br /><br />The sphere dropped towards the ocean like a comically large cannonball, and Scion advanced.  Intact, unhurt. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/interlude-27/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 27.x|27.x (Interlude, Eidolon)]]</ref><ref>"Because we aren't hurting him," I spoke my thoughts aloud.  ''We haven't touched him''.<br /><br />"We're hurting him," she said.  "Kind of like how people hurt Gavel.  He's… he's got a defense, not making him invincible, but making him a living portal.  So you hurt him, and faster than you can do anything, he just swaps out the damaged material for material from… this bottomless well." - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/21/venom-29-2/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.2]]</ref> This is an intentional design of Scion's body, one meant to demoralize his opponents.<ref>Yet Scion appeared untouched.  He was ''cleaner'', even.  Scoured of the blood and dirt.  Pristine.<br><br>“A bottomless well,” I said.<br><br>“Bottomless enough to matter,” Tattletale said.  “We take out pounds of flesh, but it’s really only removing a drop from the bucket at a time.  Then the ‘water’ flows out, high pressure, filling the gaps.”<br><br>“And morale plunges,” I said, staring out at the capes who were hanging back, staring at the scene rather than participating.<br><br>“Psychological,” Tattletale said.  “Just like Endbringers.  He crafted that body for a reason.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/21/venom-29-2/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.2]]</ref>

If his body is hit by certain powers such as [[Foil]], it will turn him into a portal that leaves his main body vulnerable to a more devastating follow-up.<ref>I discovered why he was concerned about the power.<br><br>It kept things from being ''contained''.  I got a glimpse, a flash of a look into the world beyond him, a world he’d shut off, to which his body was the only conduit.<br><br>The beam tore into him and into the well.<br><br>I moved the portals, and the beam turned to scour more of the landscape beyond Scion. - [[Speck 30.6]]</ref><ref>'''DragonConfident:''' I understand he had Path to Victory, teleportation, precognition, and a lot of others powers to warn him and let him dodge any Sting projectiles, but why risk someone figuring out that a specific parahuman can kill you permanently, why is essentially what ended up happening?<br><br>'''Wildbow:'''
:So typically, it's not a problem because whoever would be attached to that shard wouldn't have any way of getting to them to attack in the first place.
This basically answers OP's question. And it doesn't quite kill him. It just leaves him more vulnerable to more devastating follow-up. - Conversation with Wildbow [https://redd.it/t1azj8 on Reddit]</ref> Many other powers with an interdimensional component exist that can do the same as Foil and the [[Subway Cluster]].<ref>'''Whispersilk:''' Bow, would it have been possible for someone other than Foil and her multitrigger partner to access Scion's personal reality? There was conversation a while ago about Gold Morning if Taylor had died to Leviathan, and as I was thinking through the problems that needed to be solved to beat Scion, Foil appeared to be the only "linchpin", if you will, whose role couldn't be filled by somebody else. It makes sense for victory not to be reliant on her (and her partner) alone, and it also makes sense for some other power or combination of powers (perhaps involving Cauldron capes?) to be able to fill her role. Is that the case?<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' Foil is by far not the only edge case in the interdimensional fuckery, Whisp - Conversation with Wildbow on Discord, [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/37024231 archived on Spacebattles]</ref><ref>'''MugaSofer:''' Phir Se would have better odds opening a portal in Scion's head than blasting him, I think. (Which probably would still not work.)<br><br>'''XV:''' the portal cut would do... not nothing, but nothing significant<br><br>'''MugaSofer:''' might cause weird dimensional feedback, like the scrub+labyrinth combo<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' Even getting into the dimension doesn't necessarily break scion or disrupt much. - Conversation with Wildbow on Discord, [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/37024231 archived on Spacebattles]</ref>
