Will add to it as I remember things I need to deal with so I can unload them from my brain.

Dramatis Personae:
Viepuck and Izgil, who have complicated magical theory shit going on
Celyn and Robin, who hit things and heal people
When we left off we had retrieved an evil sphere and yelled for help answering what to do with it.
( So we sorted out what to do next. )

One of the most frequently reused plots of the Silver Age Superfamily titles was "supporting cast character temporarily gains superpowers, causing problems for the hero." Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane were the most common targets of this, but everyone got into the act, including some long-forgotten characters like the one we'll look at today.

Picked this up because I kept seeing it being described as literary SF – with that classic complaint, "no plot, hated the protagonist," that often signals a novel that may interest me. It's the tale of a depressed, isolated telepath in New York City in the early 70s who's gradually losing his powers as he enters his forties.
A reviewer on Reddit dismissed the novel as a clumsy metaphor for impotence. Having read it, and read a little about Silverberg's career – he had been churning out multiple novels per year before temporarily deciding to retire from writing in 1975 – I'm now 95% convinced that it's in fact a slightly less clumsy metaphor for the retreat of literary inspiration. Which makes it somewhat more interesting. Isn't fiction really, in some ways, based on the ability to see into other people's minds?
Not a great novel, but it has its moments. Very much of its period and setting, in both the good ways and the bad ways.

Marvel’s first family got their MCU debut. What did you think about it?
In my opinion it’s an upper-tier superhero film; the highlight was the retro-futuristic setting which made the film feel unique and timeless.
