"You're going to have to just get used to the big head and maybe get refitted for a new mask because I have still have a backlog of kissing up to do," Jaime told Ted with a grin.

You improvise, but you're so smart about it that you come up with plans and change them constantly as you go. I can do that to a degree but for the really bad enemies, I usually have to go in with something, even if my plans have to change. You're smart enough to figure things out on the fly."
He went on, "Ain't nothing to feel guilty for. That's just being adaptable and the superhero version of an opportunist. And that's why everyone having their own style is a good thing. You get all the planners and the improvisers and the tough people that can just punch their way through things out of sheer tenacity all working together, and then the bad guys don't stand a chance."
