I suspect that the Phantasm was being sarcastic.

Perhaps a bit flippant, but not sarcastic.

I consider sarcasm to run from flippant-teasing to mean spirited rudeness. And off to Google to make sure I'm not misusing a common English word.

"the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny."

Nothing to apologize for.

Mostly, though, I'm just pondering which characters that I've already done would be more likely to use the perk's move on a semi-regular basis.

CF is for broad cultures that take lots of time to be familar with. Other things are better handled by normal familarity rules

I guess it was a matter of whether to lump the British with the Western European CF or the North-American and Anglo-Oceanic CF (as is currently the case under the name 'Anglo').

The problem is that CFs need to be broad enough to worth that whole point, but are written such that they make more sense at a higher specificity. I think I'll make a new thread on the subject...

Edit: new thread over yonder.

Also that woman that tossed Piotr around in Deadpool, and then got tossed back by Negasonic Teenage Warhead (who has a different powerset in the comics), though they're not quite in the MCU yet (agreements are being made, IIRC).

Biometric Chameleon†
You can shapeshift on a minor but useful level, whether through innate biology, symbiotic nanotechnology, or the artifice of enchantment. By making a HT roll, you can distort your fingerprints, retinal prints, DNA residue, or other biometrics (each a separate specialization) into unrecognizability. The change is random – you may not choose to emulate a specific individual (for that, use an appropriate fully-fledged shapeshifting ability). The change may be permanent (until used again), or you may be able to revert it with another HT roll – pick whichever is more appropriate for the power behind this perk.
