Zip Boy : I... I don't.
The Strobe : How about the time we captured and drained the Amazing Blister?
Zip Boy : I enjoy my job. I enjoy recruiting other superhumans into a better, more profitable lifestyle. And I can still utilize my powers. I ran here from Yemen this morning, for Christ's sakes. 28 minutes.
