I am reminded of that one single rose that changes hands over the course of the Demigod Saga... and also, a rose plays an important part in Arbiter's backstory as well... two roses, actually (I still need to reveal the second).

I've also noticed the thing about the Jacob's Ladder, if that's what we're calling it now... the power tiers could almost be considered exponential growth in power and might.

Adding to your mice/rodents + Anthros... basically, we have "sub-humans" like demons, vampires, superhumans, cartoons, aliens, and more who seem more human than the rest of humanity... this also seems to be a big part in several of my later stories, especially those involving Deathwalker and Ruby, who are striving to become "human".

Speaking of which, humans are dicks. And that is likely not going to change. However, I think we've done a good job overall in our stories of portraying them as a bittersweet aspect of the Multiverse. They may be dicks but we'll still oppose any villain that seeks to eradicate them completely... why? Because we're human ourselves...

The most unlikely redemption I'd have to say was the very first- Arbiter's. No, wait... Inferno's was pretty unlikely, too. Red, I don't think ever seems to become redeemed, yet the readers can still feel for her in her stories (and then she becomes Carmine).

If we're talking about the Voice, think Orwell's 1984- those of us who have read it remember that Big Brother had successfully destroyed the emotion of love in human society.

As far as infinity, I don't think I need to say anything.
