Superheroes pt.X3 Associates of W.H.Y.N.O.T. (Well Here's Your New Order of Things)

This was originally going to be its own team but it needed a few more members and I never finished the draft, then Semiurge's superb superheroes post reminded me of his W.H.Y.N.O.T (Well Here's Your New Order of Things). which was a very similar idea, so I decided to just include these characters in that collective.

From the original post:

 

W.H.Y.N.O.T.: "Well Here's Your New Order of Things" - a contra-science collective  - like an outsider art collective but for science. Range from full-blown cranks to serious hobbyist scientists to guys like that guy who figured out the structure of DNA on LSD, and then some of those cranks have reality altering psychic powers they're not aware of, or have smuggled fragments of alternate dimensions where their pet theories are true. There's a lot of W.H.Y.N.O.T. messageboard drama.

Pi Proletarian

They developed an algorithm of complexity O(1) to calculate pi. They had to develop an entirely new kind of math to do it, and only they understand it. Their irises are perfect circles. They rotate in radical radians making them effectively untouchable, like the caste of their ancestors.

The Geek

They created the first known emergent intelligence in a connectionist neural network, and shortly thereafter entered into a toxic relationship with it. The sex was magic (literally?), but they were never really the same afterwards, it did something to them. They've attempted to recreate the emergence ever since Master Perceptron left them, but whatever secret sauce was in that first model has yet to be reproduced. The relationship altered both their body and mind, and now they're really more like a Magical Man Machine than Human, most notable by the scars around the entirety of their neck, as if their head had been bitten off and stitched back together.

The Null Hypothesis

For any phenomenon which can only be understood probabilistically, which is to say most things, hypotheses are not proven to be true. Rather, it is demonstrated that the opposite, the null hypothesis, is false; failing to reject the null hypothesis is not the same as proving the alternative hypothesis.

That is, except for The Null Hypothesis. They probe the fields of hypotheses like the wave functions of quantum mechanics, probing the empty space between hypotheses and plucking out truths like flies caught in a spiderweb.

Of course, some things defy all reason, they reach into the Empty Space and find a limitless possibility beyond everything and nothing. The experience of this thing beyond the nature of possibility changed them forever, separate from the rest of humanity, in an alien fugue state feeling emotions no one else can understand. Humans misconstrue their feelings as like something between rage and nihilist acquiescence.
