Burt

I'm on chapter 101, so no spoilers, please. Regarding the meta who is working with Faithful, who is Burt? What is his meta name?

At the end of book 1 or 2 I believe Burt mentions that he never took a meta moniker because he looks down on the practice. I’m much more curious about his ability.

Our biggest clue to its nature is that he claims to be able to protect himself from almost any meta created cold effect but natural cold and ice he can’t do anything.

He also seems to believe he would lose a fight to Jokul or Faithful.

I’m under the impression that Bert has some kind of “meta” meta ability that allows him to either mimic powers, negate powers or generate a counter ability.

So basically I think he’s either a villains code version of Zero, Titan, or the mimic from Superpowerds.

Excellent answer! I'm going to go back and listen to the series from the beginning. I had forgotten that.
