I believe there's WoG somewhere that Amy only seems well known to readers because the story is usually from the perspective of either a longtime member of the cape community or a character who researched the local cape scene. The average BB resident doesn't know who she is yet."I heal people," Amy said to Elizabeth. "You really don't know that?"

This from a girl that needed the Wards (and the unwritten rules) explained to her.Agitation 3.11 said:Glory Girl's sister had been among the hostages. Damn it. At least I knew who she was now. She could heal with a touch, and if what she'd done to my powers was any indication, that wasn't the full extent of her abilities. Glory Girl and Panacea were celebrities, even if Panacea had generally avoided the spotlight as of late. They were among the most famous of the local heroes, arguably among the most powerful of the kid capes, they were pissed at me, and I was stuck in a room with them.
So can Scapegoat. And Uber. And Contessa, Bonesaw, Eidolon, Lab Rat, Teacher, Leet, maybe that cape with the robotrees, and possibly Othala. As a matter of fact, anybody that Cauldron wants indebted to them can get a nice can of anti-cancer juice as well. Plus we only learn the powers of what, maybe 1% of the capes on Earth Bet? If so that means that there's easily 500+ capes who can cure cancer. Panacea was special because she could handle anything, while most people that can fix stuff have limitations (Cody would only be relevant on fresh injuries, Scapegoat can't fix any body parts he doesn't have in common, Teacher can only enable somebody to work on things that can be healed conventionally, etc.). If you've got a broken leg, you don't give a shit if the person healing you can also fix birth defects, and so Amy's abnormal versatility only matters to people with a variety of problems that would otherwise require multiple capes. To everybody else, she's just one of the many healers who could solve their problem(s).Sure, there's a million other powers out there, but she can cure feckin' cancer.
IIRC she didn't need the Wards explained, she just wanted them to be in case she had missed anything important about them while researching the local capes.This from a girl that needed the Wards (and the unwritten rules) explained to her.
Scapegoat cures cancer by contracting cancer. He canonically hates his power.So can Scapegoat. And Uber.

Wildbow said:There -can- be very few people with healing abilities. Bonesaw, Scapegoat, Panacea. Others with niches (neurology only, or cardiac systems only), others still with limited capacity (Othala with the ability to grant regeneration).
That's setting-relevant and a reality when healing is actually something monumentally complex.
