Roy's amazing. He's very intelligent but some times it looks like he is dumb, like when hawkeye leaved on "vacation" and he talked to her by the telephone, it's was cool and funny at the same time. About his alchemy, it's very powerfull regardless of it's weekness.

I think we can all come to the conclusion that state alchemists are lazy bums who can't try to be more innovative once they've found a shtick for themselves. A good policy would be to stop naming them after what they specialize in. Makes them want to stick to it all the more.

The fact that Mustang can create a simulacrum of a human body including detailed enough dental work that the doctor could pass it off as real (note that I do not same detailed enough to FOOL the said doctor) shows that his skill is quite good.
Also, he is a candidate for opening the gate. This alone is proof enough that he is greater than the average alchemist in more than just fire alchemy. Besides, even if he had the key to let him read the flame alchemy left behind for him, he still needs to be better than average just to understand it. |

I wonder if Roy would become Furher in the end of the manga. If he doesn't... Well, that just wouldn't do his character justice... He's surely powerful enough to become one? We'll have to see what become of Wrath, I guess?

I'm more interested in seeing what will happen regarding what Riza told Ed... that when a time of peace would come, those who fought in Ishval will be will be tried as mass murderers.
Which is of course tied to Ed and Roy's promise for 520 Cenz, in which Ed tries to force Mustang to live a long life. It'll probably all come down to everyone accepting that Roy will have already done his fair share of atonement. |

Good point. I wouldn't know what else to name Roy; after all, the flames are such a big part of him. Roy seems to be most dependant on his specialty alchemy... We've never seen him use any other kind.

we've seen him transmute a somewhat passable human body out of a pig corpse, and hydrogen and oxygen gas out of water.
I just realized that his alchemy doesn't even technically set the thing on fire itself. What he does is just transmute a fuse from dust and adjust the air pressure. The sparks are responsible for the flames itself.

I don't think his weakness is widely known though. Only people who are close to him or once fought by his side should know how his alchemy works and therefore its weakness (for example Isaac). Lust is an exception, she had observed him for a long time and knew him well.

The basics of starting a fire: spark, fuel, oxygen. What Lust did was to deny the "spark" part (created by his gloves, most of the time). Seriously, if Roy had been a smoker, even fewer people can stop him.
