I know Myself had an idea for the origin, but I don't think he ever said, so what do you guys think of this:
Justin, the master of every known power, and creator of several others, grew bored with his immense power and created the SPL. Within the SPL trainees could discover the many powers Justin knew and learn to wield them. With time, the SPL called out to beings that matched Justin's power, breaking down the dimensional barriers and bringing them to live within the SPL, where they could have a new beginning to freely use their powers. The beings did many things, including creating miniverses where they took on different personas for enjoyment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Justin, Vespert, and WHD had New Beginning powers, they would be something like this?
Justin: SPL controller, able to create completely new powers at a whim.
Vespert: The versatile, able to expertly control an overwhelming number of powers at once.
WHD: The knowledgeable, able to gain an understanding of a power to either enhance them beyond limit or break them down completely.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
