I would hate to see Cinder go down like that. It depends on how it's done. I think Peter Petrelli from Heroes was just stupid and vary quickly overpowered but someone more like Sylar who has to actually put effort into gaining powers could work.

The new theme song stated that there was a point when they don't hold back meaning that a villain could potentially get killed by a protagonist. Not because they want to but because they need to and an all powerful Cinder would fulfil that need.

This would mean that the episode would be used to develop the characters possibly before introducing a bigger bad.

I highly doubt that is her plan and was more an off the cuff response to ChaosSpud but if they play it right it could work.

I doubt Cinder and Yang are sisters as being in a team with Yangs farther would mean attending an academy together and Yangs farther would know she had another sister or half-sister.

The only other possibility is that Yangs mother disappeared for a while after the academy (maybe she got a job in another kingdom) before returning having abandoned Cinder. It would make her pretty messed up and I get the impression that isn't where Rooster Teeth is going.

They could be cousins but again that begins to get complicated.
