Second, we never see him discover the word (though he hints at what
the word was when he asks her to tell Cap that he's "sorry").
Uh, is "sorry" supposedly the magic word? This strikes me as pretty
stupid idea (though strangely fitting for a 10-year old), unless it
comes with a "means it clause". And even then it'd be a close call,
even for someone like Hitler.
I think the point was that he changed it to something that Adam would
never say, or if he did, he'd only get around to saying it when he
truly *was* sorry. I thought it was kinda clever.
But even the strangest sociopath will *probably* say "Sorry" and mean
it once in a while.
But it is an idea that a 10 year old would think was very clever (and would
work in literature for 10 year olds, and probably did somewhere in the DC
Golden or Silver Age).
