I have been rewatching the series recently, and while I'm not up to HEROINE yet, something triggered a thought after watching THE 200 MILE PER HOUR FASTBALL.
In HEROINE, the greenguys say that the world will forget once Ralph gives up the suit. He will just fade into the past and people will forget. For all of us fans, we find that incredibly hard to believe and we keep saying that they have to use the suit's mind control power or something to make it happen.
However, we saw the foreshadowing in FASTBALL. Bill takes Ralph to a bar after the season has been over a while and asks the bartender a sports trivia question about Ralph. While it is a little different because no one knew of the suit then, Bill makes the point that people forget easily. Especially when it is not happening in the now. The bartender eventually remembered, but it proves the point that people forget.
While it might take longer for them to forget Ralph as the celebrity, it's easy to forget celebrities once they are gone too. It might be really easy then for the suit to transfer to Holly without having to do a massive mind sweep.
(Although if I was the opposing team in FASTBALL, I might look up that year and try to argue the series was stolen by a super suit wearing guy.
)
