"...dude, how much about myself should I tell?" Enzo knows about the bit regarding his parents.
"I come from User-space, I'm about ten years old, which'd translate to being close to 1-0 here. And I go to a school for superheroes." Tyler shrugs, a good feat in and of itself. "I like eating cheeseburgers, reading comics, and when I'm not studying for school, watching silly old movies."
"Sort of, i've been going to this school since I was 6 years old...I don't know how that translates in binary..." Tyler shrugs. "If you're asking if we've got normal classes like history, or science, or physical education yeah, we got those. I'm an un-powered superhero, so I gotta take different courses though."
"Like this one girl I know has to go to classes on how to handle her pyrokinesis, which is how she makes fire move about. I got to classes about how to build things, like this grappler gauntlet." He's holding up the item in question so it can be seen by the crowd.
It's not that such devices are terribly unusual for Guardians. Grapples are just cool.
The podlike flying contraption which has been providing the stage lights moves closer. "Latch on here!" hollers its operator, a young man the colour of bubblegum. The cadets cheer some more at this.
...Is he ever so glad that he removed the components for the electromagnet before coming here. After lining up the sights to focus on the pod there's a quick -pffthunt! as the grappler probe itself shoots out, unfolds and grabs onto the pod trailing line behind it.
Then Tyler is flying through the air and trying very hard to figure out where the heck-butt his center of gravity has gone. Then the claw actively releases from the pod and he's tumbling midair before...disappearing midair.
"Get him back on stage!" Someone else shouts as Tyler is passed not unlike a beachball overhead. Halfway towards the stage, he reappears laughing at the whole thing.
Look, you try not to laugh, crowdsurfing tickles darnit.
"Stun charges, sleeping capsules, smokebombs, and a bunch of other stuff. I'm not wearing the full kit today....But I take a lot of the same classes you guys do for combat!"
"All different kinds, some of them come from other worlds, some of them have superpowers, some of them don't but are really smart, and some of them aren't bad, just really cuckoo in the coconut....er.." There's a pause before he finds the words of digital equivilance. "Really crashing random in the processor."
"Yeah, pretty much, some are pretty tame too, and they'll steal money or food, but anyone talks about harming kid around them's gonna find a squid in their bed." Some villians have families too. And are very doting parents.
"Getting superpowers isn't always guaranteed either, both my mom and dad can fly and shoot lasers and throw buildings around...but I don't have any powers myself."
Tyler would like to say something nice about this but...
"It's frustrating. Really frustrating. You know all the comics you guys read? Well the kids back home read em to, but they think that's how they should act with their powers, or sometimes they let their powers do the thinking for them." Tyler sighes. "Some of them are really good at using their powers to help, but like some Guardians here, some charge in without a second though to the consequences."
"...like say...charging into a room and announcing yourself when you're trying to catch a rogue teleporter."

There is a certain amount of exclamation, then laughter, and then a cry of "Invisible crowd-surf!" to general acclaim.
