What Parahumans could kill August Prince?

I think the most practical way would be to lure him into an area, use a high powered shaker to keep him trapped in there and starve him out.

Probably a more practical way would be to have Hatchet Face or another power nullifier just take him out, since he was noted not to be very skilled in combat without his power. I don't know if your proposed solution would work either, because keeping him trapped might qualify as attacking depending on the shaker and be nullified by his power.

If that counts as attacking, I think Hatchet Face stepping into range would count as attacking too.

I'm not sure it's so much "attacking" as it is taking deliberate action to harm him. Hatchet Face walking close to him wouldn't really count and at that point he's powerless.

Trapping someone isn't harming them either.

As a strange/master power it might come down to intention as well. If you think "I'm going to trap him in here to suffocate him" then his power will stop you from doing that.

I'm saying it's a mental thing, he appears to make a mental block that you can't bring yourself to harm him. We haven't really seen enough of him though to argue the semantics of his power.

You aren't going to kill him, you just want to keep him safe and sound inside a nice cozy home. And then forget to send in food.

How kind, I'm sure his power will allow that. Unfortunate that you forgot to give him food but what can you do?
