“Leave one of them in a state to be interrogated. Make it Leet, since Über’s powers make him annoying to keep contained. Give him a chance and he can figure out how to do anything like he’s a goddamn expert at it, and that probably extends to escaping from ropes or handcuffs. Alright?”

Uber, more accurately, can learn techniques
Wildbow said:
Über and Leet are really problematic in that they're two characters that people tend to overinflate, powerwise.
 
I'm exaggerating, but man, am I tired of reading, "Why doesn't Leet just make a machine that turns him into a god!?"
 
Über is in the same boat. It would perhaps be better to say that he's able to learn techniques.
