===Vulnerabilities===
If Gray Boy dies while his power is effectively nullified (e.g., his connection to his [[shard]] is disrupted), he will be permanently killed. For example, [[Glaistig Uaine]] killed the original<ref>She’d taken down Gray Boy, had attacked the King’s Men and slain Athrwys, and then she’d turned herself in. - [[Interlude 27.x]]</ref> by claiming him as a shadow (i.e., co-opting his power behind-the-scenes<ref>Other cases of the network being in play include Teacher setting up his own temporary networks of a narrow niche of shard (thinker/tinker shards), or Glaistig Uaine co-opting other networks and making them subordinate (ripping out the entire package and making it a ghost she can load/unload). - Comment by Wildbow on Reddit</ref><!-- https://redd.it/nt15eg -->) at the same time of his death.<ref>Another to duplicate capes.

[[King]]'s power can obliquely redirect Gray Boy's time loops away from him to other touched individuals.<ref name="SB1" /> [[Wildbow]] speculates that someone capable of disrupting their connection to reality, with weird relation to time, could theoretically escape a time loop.<ref>Blue Button - Little gadget by a time travel tinker.  Acts as an emergency button, disrupting one's connection to reality, kind of turning you into a Breaker, with weird relation to time.  Essentially lets you break free of some of the really nasty stuff (like, theoretically, a grey boy loop), and travel about 5-10 feet with no need to concern yourself about intervening hazards or power effects, before you return to normal.  Each use of the button makes it less efficient.  Each time it's used, it shaves off Xd6 years from the user's lifespan, where X is the number of uses, and has a cumulative 2% chance of misfiring, in which case it would shave off 6d6 and cause a time-based mutation.  No saying how many times it's been used, but they think it's only once or twice. - Comment by Wildbow on Discord</ref>
