>> So Keane channels Damask's pain but how does he get rid of it? Is he constantly in pain or does he unleash it on his enemies? Or does he not know how his powers work yet? <<
He uses it as fuel. Pain is energy. A few people -- even here -- have the ability to harness it. You'll see more of that later.
>>Aww, Keane is this universe's Hulk then? <<
Both of them are what's called a "system scapegoat." Most multiple systems have a member who is essential but unpopular, and it's usually the one who is concerned with survival, because they don't care about social niceties. Hulk and Keane have different methods but the same job.
>> Does it get better for him? <<
E...ven...tu...ally. :/
>> Mira weaves illusions, does that also mean that she's a Master/Mistress of Lies? Or are her illusions purely visual-based?<<
They are external seemings rather than mental impressions, light and shadow and phantom sounds.
>>Clarity is a telepathic empath?<<
Yes: telepathy, empathy, truth sense.
>> Ham is telekinetic and already has a basic grasp on his powers? <<
Correct. Ham is another of the more survival-oriented headmates, which can make life challenging. He handles combat -- and as with Hulk, has a bit of a hair-trigger at times.
>> Clement has healing powers? Or is it more like healing magic? <<
Healing as a superpower, not healing as magic.
>> Maze is the one who is out in Front the most, if she handles the social obligations of the world? <<
Yes.
>> Or are there moments where she wishes she could also backseat drive? Is she the only one who doesn't have inherent powers? But then again social skills and secret-keeping can be its own superpower. <<
That's basically it: Maze got the lion's share of "ordinary" abilities from Maisie, making her by far the most equipped to handle everyday stuff. This is sometimes a bone of contention.
Each headmate got a similar amount of 'mass' or 'energy' but the superpowers make it more concise. Maze has a much wider diversity precisely because she didn't get the concentrated version.
