Vic - Gay (canon)

Hope - Lesbian (she just gave off that vibe)

did u guys ever have any plans for match, he was strangely one of my favs members from the paragons!

We didn't have a lot planned specifically for Match, but we did know that we wanted to do a Paragons miniseries where they'd go to Nova Roma (we posted about that a ways back).

With Ben, we gave him some personality traits that matched his power (hotheaded) and others that rounded him out (very invested in being a leader), but didn't figure out what we'd do with those.

We had debated a lot about how his powers worked... did the flame turn off? Was it always on? If it was always on, it could give us great stories about him being unable to make physical contact with others (which is tragic at any age but would devastate his High School social life), but it got us into questions like "How does he eat?" or "Is it on when he sleeps? Does he need a special bed?" and we never knew if we wanted to go that route but knew we'd explore it if we ever got the chance at the Paragons mini.

We also briefly looked at various love interest options for Victor/Anole once the story of his death was cut. And we briefly thought about Ben/Match for that, but then we didn't want the gay romance to be limited to no-kissing. He ultimately wasn't who we pictured Victor with either way, though.
