Maybe it was the whole package

Seal, Healing ability and Cool Green Shield all in one

You know, that way, the Seal doesn't mean healing powers, it just goes to the next person... all three things go together but independently...

Now, of course, I'm assuming that Michael aslo got the cool green shield, because Max wasn't able to use it. I've tried to find an explanation as to why would Max be unable to use his unique abilities but he could use all the "share" ones... :misha pauses to keep thinking: Okay, I give up... Maybe the Seal does carry those powers then

When it "deactivated" from Max, it also rendered him unable to reach those abilities... And when it activated on Michael, he was able to reach those...

Am I making sense?

The only problem I have with the Seal is that it changed Michael. Unless Antarians are like Kringlons (sp?) I don't see how Michael would be suitable to lead with that character and impulsiveness... But then again, this has nothing to do with the discussion about the Seal and Max's powers... sorry, ranting here

Now, if it was gender related.... I'll get back to this...

Okay, we know that Zan Jr. was ruled out by Khivar because he was too human (sorry, I can't swallow that he was *completely* human, at least some recesive genes must have gone there!), but, genetically speaking, he is Max's son. Why didn't the Seal go to him? What is it on Max's essence from the original Zan that matters here?

So, Zan Jr. didn't get any of that essence and the Seal by pass him... Why to Michael? Maybe we are looking at this from the wrong perspective. Maybe, on Antar, when things are not chaotic as now, the Seal would follow a logical path from father to son, or heir, or whatever. But when whoever was planning the Seal on Max, a hybrid, he/she/it decided that, in case of Max's dead, Michael should have it. Why? Who knows! But it would explain why we can't find a logical path here, since we know that Rath wasn't married yet to Vilandra, so he had no real claim to the throne yet, and that Isabel must have been a logical choice (yes, I'm keeping aside the gender theory here).

I think xmag's theory about Zan not wanting Khivar to gain the Seal and so choosing Rath could work. Maybe Zan knew about this plan and so told the bioengineers to ensure that, if his duplicate died, Rath's duplicate got the Seal.

Yeah, it might do....

Now I'll go to ponder these things over...
