But even if Jack could make a bubble that last long enough, Jack's survival probability was the lowest among all the companions except for Mordin, Tali and Kasumi. And she fight half naked...not sure her tattoos have protective abilities that I'm not aware off. Samara could still wipe her off the floor at any time... gosh it would be glorious. a T.

 

None of that necessarily has anything to do with biotic power. Armor, which you mentioned, and all that combat experience over centuries rather than decades must be considered too.

 

 

 

Aria have dialogue in Citadel DLC where she said "she lived for over a thousand years old" and both Asari Councilor listened to her without question and she have her own kingdom in the Terminus system which she ruled for centuries. In Retribution, she had an adult daughter. Basically fit the profile of a successful asari elder to a T.

 

Only the age really matters. While it makes more sense if she is also a Matriarch, I saw that the Councilor accommodates her was because she was Aria and they were trying to sell us on the character still rather than just because she was a Matriarch.

Mass Effect Foundation, Mass Effect Ascension, Mass Effect Retribution, Mass Effect Homeworld, Mass Effect trilogy codex on biotics and Kaidan's talk about BaAT in ME1. 

 

Not of which give base line citations on average human feats for biotics. Provide page numbers, wiki entries, or something to the effect beyond (trust me it was in there). You offered a broad generalization, now back it up.

Which doesn't mean anything as we are discussing biotic ability, and not survivability.

Also citation needed.

 

 

You need me to give you an ELI5? Citations again? Are you sure you're not my thesis supervisor? But I'll entertain you! 

 

Mass Effect Revelation: (2157 CE)

Humanity didn’t have any individuals with latent biotic abilities; Edan suspected he wasn’t even aware such a power existed. But he was about to find out.
 
“Biotics,” Kahlee blurted out. “We were trying to find a way to turn humans into biotics.” The turian considered her explanation for a moment then asked, “What were the results?” “We were close,” the young woman admitted, her voice getting softer. “We found a handful of human subjects with latent biotic abilities. Children, mostly. Far weaker than what we’d measured in other species, but with the amplification nodes and proper training we still hoped to see results. “We just completed the implantation surgery on several of our most promising candidates a few weeks ago. None of them survived the raid.” 
 

Kaidan was born in 2151 and detected as biotic potential. Recruited to BaAT and implanted with L2 when he was 16 (2167 CE)  

 

Mass Effect Foundation #4 (2168 CE) (screencapped from my kindle)

Jack was born in 2161. Abducted in 2164. No specific dates of when she escaped but I suspect she was in her late teens so maybe it was around late 2170s or early 2180s.
 

Mass Effect 1 (2183 CE)

"Out of a hundred? Maybe sixty have no effect. Thirty suffer “adverse effects.” Little things like brain cancer. The other ten show enough ability to augment with implants. Not always permanent, though. Not like the cancer. Next thing you know, you’re out on Jump Zero. How’s a kid supposed to deal with that? A station at the edge of human space?"

 

"They didn't know where to start. Hell, it took a couple years to even link biotics and eezo. Forget trying to get the kids to move stuff. They had trouble just helping them not break their own limbs.."

 

 

Mass Effect Ascension (2183 CE)

 

But Kahlee only ever dealt with those students involved in the Ascension Project—a program designed to help children with biotic aptitude maximize their potential. Once fitted with microscopic amplifiers wired throughout their nervous system, it was possible for biotic individuals to use electromagnetic impulses generated in the brain to create mass effect fields. With years of training in mental focus and biofeedback techniques, these fields could become strong enough to alter their physical surroundings. A powerful biotic could lift and throw objects, freeze them in place, or even shred them apart with nothing but the power of the mind. Given such dangerous potential, it was no surprise that there were strict rules against the students using their abilities outside of properly supervised settings.
 
You know that!” Like all the Ascension Project students in his age group, Nick had undergone his implantation surgery a little over a year ago. Most of the children were still struggling to access their newfound abilities, practicing the drills and lessons that would allow them to coordinate their new biotic amps with their own biological systems. In the first two years, the majority could barely lift a pen a few inches off the surface of a desk.
 
^ They're using L4 implants.

What the hell happened to Kaidan's shirt?

Don't know. But I reckoned he gave it to his friend who Vyrnnus captured and humiliated. Also he want to impress a girl.

Man, and I thought "Kaidan hulks out" was just being colorful with language when describing this event.

Those comics were pretty good btw. Just about every companion. And Kaidan kind of becomes a more Paragon counterpart to Jack. I like it.

 

Although it doesn't make sense to me if Maya is actually the same chick.

Personally I like to pretend the Foundation series does not exist, in fact I like to pretend all the Mac Walters written comics don't exist. Though to be fair I have a tolerance for Redemption but that's only for a scene in the first issue.

My issue is the "Cerberus is absolutely awesome" vein that runs through everything he writes.

If they had always been like Maya or ME2 TIM, they'd be pretty awesome actually :P

I think I start to like the rest characters more from the comics especially Thane and James. But the only ones that Mac Walters wrote that I'm critical against was Liara's chapters in Redemption and Homeworlds since they're canonized and Liara transitioned from starry eyed dream girl to action girl for no reason. Its like they realize she was badly written and kept rewriting her over and over; LotSB obvious transition her to become the galactic intel broker (crime lord) because it was so cool then midway in ME2 and ME3, they forgotten that she's a prothean expert (in Redemption she knew all along that the Collectors were once the Protheans), they gave her a cameo in Paragon Lost and forced her to be the static companion in From Ashes to make her specialty relevant again.. except she blundered on Thessia with all the denials about the protheans uplifting her species. That's when I realized Walters make himself the George Lucas of the franchise.... *shivers*

 

Ashley's chapter was disappointing though. Basically it just another build up for her PTSD. Showing her relationship with her squad and stuff when it should act as a buffer, explaining her animosity with the aliens, her strained relationship with her grandfather etc.

I actually liked Liara in those comics.

 

And I'm not a big Liara fan. lol Something about the game-specific version that doesn't do it for me. Or even grates on me sometimes.

Lucas created Star Wars. I don't think this comparison works.

I'm merely compare the similarities with the way they constantly 'fixing' things. Liara went through a lot of changes and many of it was very inconsistent. She always jump between a Prothean expert and intel broker, damsel in distress and action girl whenever the plot requires her even if some of it didn't make sense.. like her knowing that the Collectors are former Protheans in 2183 when she rescue Shepard's corpse from the Blue Sun.
 

I'm also playing SWTOR at the moment.
