Why does he need to be so OP? Why does he need to have so many abilities? Why couldn't TDL be shown to have some kind of resistances or counters against victim? Does TDL have a cognitive dampening device that makes everyone around him stupid?

No joke, just making him suffer more and more

This is the Chosen Emerald a combination of TCO and The Emerald a character of TCO and a character inspired by Crystalisedemerald

• hey okay so i just came up with a CRAZY theory and i NEED someone to hear it! okay so what if The Second Coming might not actually be a randomly overpowered god stickman, but instead his true inherent ability could be power mimicry, meaning he acts like a blank canvas or a living compiler that copys, indexes, and permanently adapts the code of everyone and everything around him.
• If you look back at his creation in episode four, he literally shapeshifts into The Chosen One and and we see TCOS fire abilities, which explains why TSC's later awakened state includes stuff like super speed, super strength, flight, and laser eyes, mirroring TCO's abilities but we haven't technically seen any of the elemental stuff yet.
• This mimicry could also explain why he is the only stick figure who can make his drawings come to life, just like Alan Becker can, we also see some of the clones in the factory trying to figure out how he can bring stuff to life which I don't think it would be included if it wasn't important. So yeah, he most likely copied Alan and learned to channel that raw green animator code/Energy into his drawing pen,
• which is why his very first creations back in episode four—like the woodpecker and the strongman—became fully sentient!. That green animator energy was also most likely mixed with TCO's abilities to create his green laser vision, Green telekinesis and green super physical abilities. maybe the elemental abilities were mixed in with the green animator energy or something? he most likely is using that same creative, green animator energy to power his healing and revival abilities.
• This mimicry mechanism also explains his strange list of latent powers in episode thirteen, because when he got close to Victim—who famously used computer tools to duplicate himself way back in episode one, he most likely kept that data in his program to a extent "accidentally/unaware" and After he became hacker that most likely became a ability on hackers own power list, which is why when hacker comes back and scans TSC, TSC might have scaned hacker passively and it caused self-cloning to pop up on TSC UI, which the UI is then scanned by hacker and then thats when we see TSC UI and thats why it would have self-cloning on it. "edit" the way I explained this makes it kind of hard to understand!!! sorry but i hope you get the point I was trying to make with it!!
• This means the other locked abilities on that screen could actually belong to his friends or the digital environment itself, like animal communication being a latent power he copied from Red due to Red's deep bond with creatures,
• or water breathing from Blue because Blue's code could be saturated with the alchemy data from him brewing countless Potions of Water Breathing—or even because TSC copied the raw environmental code of Minecraft during their ocean adventures.
• As for the incredibly high-tier powers like gravity warping and magnetic field manipulation, those probably don't belong to any stick figure, it could be that TSC is mirroring the root computer software itself, translating the program's built-in physics engines and object-snapping alignment tools into abilities that allow him to bend the environment.
• If this is true that means hackers machine isn't just using TSC, but is actually using a copyed database of every single character and software tool TSC has ever passively copied!
• don't get me wrong I don't actually think this will be revealed in season 3 but something that could happen in season 4.
• but yeah i just wanted to tell SOMEONE about this BECAUSE THIS COULD LITERALLY CHANGE EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE SECOND COMING "edit" hope what I changed makes it easier to read now!!!!!!

Second lost his old friend, namely Chousen. In pursuit of his quest, he created an entire company to help people like him, but he still couldn't let go of the thought of Chousen. In this au, the Four are working for the Second. Mitsi and Victim both live in their computers until they are forced to stick together due to the explosion of the universe. What's up with Dark and the others? Dark — just like in the original, he creates virabots, but there they perform a completely different function and are called “kaθaˈrobot”, and based on the name it acts as a purgatory of the mind, a religious thing. Dark was a good friend of Chousen's, and he always listened attentively to his nonsense, even when it was three in the morning. And when dark made the initial prototype of the cleaner, Chousen, as his best friend, volunteered to test it on the skb. But that was not the case, yes, it worked, but not at all as it should have. It literally turned him into a vegetable with no memories. Dark, panicking, immediately turned off the device, and began to look for all possible solutions to return his emotions and memories to his friend. And he hid Chousen from everyone, while taking part in the search. I didn't forget about the Purple one either, he's a rookie among the agents. His father (KO) is very worried about him, Fiol doesn't say much about work, most often he just distracts his father by starting a conversation about what good colleges he has. The mentor for Purple was chosen Green, as always. Green is Second's right hand, was with him from beginning to end. I saw him enthusiastically looking at the sky and pointing at Orion's Belt, saying "us!", and also saw how close he was with Chousen. It is very difficult for him to see his friend fade away.
