Let me swing this back to the "Cookie Monster assault" for a minute. 
Everyone keeps saying "He beat up Cookie Monster!  He beat up Cookie
Monster!"  The *hell* he did!  He beat up a guy in a Cookie Monster suit
at a themepark.

However, could an Iconomancer of a different color channel fictional
characters?  Or perhaps the gentleman was the proxy for the *real*
Cookie Monster.  Then we can tie that back to muppets being possessed by
demons.

As for the morality syste of SS, remember that while most every
character is flawed, they are also basically good.  Compare that to UA,
while an avatar of the Masterless Man is bashing out the brains of an
adept with a ball peen hammer.
