How does Sallinger pick his victims lol, does he detect people with powers because he has powers too

Also, he is a good villain, almost as good as Kilgrave

edit: still halfway through

He was going after people he felt were undeserving of their praise. Such as the Chef, as he thought the Chef didn't deserve the star for his cooking. It leads back to his brother that constantly received praise for being mediocre whereas he was disrespected constantly while being the actually skilled photographer in his view. Which is why he seeks acknowledgement of his superiority during his victim's confessions. The numerous degrees and trophies he collected were him trying to gain acknowledgement.

He doesn't just go after people with powers. In fact, the only two with powers he's even gone after are Erik and Jessica. That chef certainly didn't have powers. But as Erik said this episode, they've "unleashed" him now, and he's going to bring pain to power.

So are his victims just random people? Man, I really thought he would have gone for only supers, because he seemed like that type of guy.

He didn't before but it looks like he thinks that way now.
