Well, it is Counterpoint, would it really be horrific if he got what's coming to him? I mean, according to There's an Angel in Dickenson Cottage, Counterpoint has a list of A-list super villains that he is going to deal with WHEN the New Olympians take back their rightful place as gods among men. 1. This is an incredibly arrogant view of the world and 2. According to the (very) biased opinions that we get of the New Olympians, they're total nutcases almost to a man, (Erin and Richard being the exceptions, along with Knick-Knack). Now, it's not as if they will have an easy time ascending to Godhood, but come on.
it's an ell damnit

Pretty much all the "exiles" (Prism, Judicator, Tracer, Feral, and Knick-Knack) are (and sorry that I have to use quote marks again) "sane".

What makes you think they have god-like powers? We've seen their POV; they don't have the powers they used to, and that pisses them off, and they'll do whatever they can to get that power back (c.f incidents with Seraphim and Eldritch).
To return to the subject, we've seen that Jobe is really good at the retaliatory strike through bio-warfare. Now that she's a regen-5, she can bounce back from most attacks. So I would say that Jobe is someone they'll want to avoid antagonising as a group. I doubt Counterpoint will learn that though.

Jobe keeping her abilities was intentional. She designed the serum so that whoever took it would retain their initial mutant powers, and it seems that he is just that damn good.
On Belphoebe, guess it's Power of Plot.

It would also explain why her Devisor power set is so close to Belphegor's. By that, I mean that she excels at adaptation, even of other Devises.

Also...
1. Have we seen evidence of Belphy actually devising something? I don't remember -- I remember her using Belphegor's and Jobe's stuff.
2. Belphy is magically active, and there's serious in-canon suspicions that devising and magic may be more alike than previously thought.
3. Jobe is a bona-fide genius besides the devisor trait. That makes it harder to tell if she is still a devisor or not.
Don't call me Shirley. You will surely make me surly.
