Title: Random Superpowers Game
Post by: Zen on April 22, 2011, 08:47:49 PM
Hey there folks, here is a new game, hope you guys like it!

OK so let's go, to play this game you must go to the Super power wiki:
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Superpower_Wiki

And them click the random page button on the right. The page that comes up is now your superpower (no rerolls). Only if your power really sucks major, them your allow to get two new powers.

Assuming the rest of the world remains the same, how do you use your new ability? For good, evil or for the lulz? You can be a Evil scientist, super hero, super villain, get money with your power, or just destroy everthing around you. If you want you can roleplay with other guys powers.

That's it, lets rock!

Possession

I think I'd just goof around with this one, maybe pester an annoying acquaintance by making him punch himself.

Chronolock.

I think I'd travel, see the world, pop back home occasionally. Very occasionally travel in time, when I could be sure I wouldn't screw up history.

Also be a supernaturally helpful person, collapse criminal empires and take their money to fund myself.

Mendacity Detection

Not the greatest power for taking over the world/saving it, but a downright useful one if you just know how to ask questions.

Reality Warping.

I really wouldn't know what I'd do with this; on the one hand, I am aware that at times I am a perfectionist, and may or may not use the power to ensure things go the way I want it to be, yet also at the same time I would be afraid of becoming corrupt, going against the rather off-beat moral code which I myself subscribe to since absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely. I would probably not go out of my way to "save the world" or such, since we cannot have a common consensus on what one means by "save", but I'd probably help someone in need in a form of reverse bystander effect if something obvious can be done to help a situation which would benefit everyone involved.

Matter Melding


Sweet! Besides repairs, disappearing into the floor or walls, and essentially swimming through is pretty sweet, never mind the possibilities for body modification (becoming a practical cyborg for example, masquerading as someone else,) . If that wasn't enough, any fool getting into my range can be disabled by disrupting his vital organs. Oh, did i mention grafting together atoms to produce any element i like?

Cosmic Manipulation

Just reading the article it appears there isn't anything this particular ability can't do. I'm not sure I'd be able to do much good with something like this because messing with space time and cosmic energy seems like a really good way to mess things up. I suppose being cosmically aware I'd go out and explore, see all the neat stuff the universe has to offer, maybe help the scientific community somehow. Might just hang out in space, because I can. Kinda wish I'd gotten something on a slightly smaller scale than this, I'd probably just go and find out if there are aliens or something.

Adaptation.

Much depends on the specific type I got lumbered with. Adaptations that I keep, cool. Ones that I lose? Less cool.

I'd probably start looking at increasing my ability to work on my job and/or hobbies, and generally cause havoc on online games... Failing that, idly poking about the scenery and setting myself up to live without problems somewhere - work hard, save up to buy some land somewhere, set up a house off the grid, etc etc.

But then, I'd like to do that anyway, so...

Air Manipulation!

This is actually one of my top desired specific super powers so I am very pleased with this result. Apparently I already have luck powers. (For those wondering, my top non-specific super power is imposing my will upon reality which is somewhat unlikely anyway >.>) Anyway, I'm a meteorology major currently so this would probably be applicable.

"I predict there will be three tornadoes passing through the state of Arkansas this afternoon."
"Sir, the skies there are completely clear, there's no way in hell that could pos-"
"I SAID THERE WILL BE THREE TORNADOES!!!!"

Not as broken as reality bending ;p

A lot of powers can be used for defense in some way really... matter manipulation for instance can just keep their body running without air. Morphers can remove their need to breathe, and several powers don't need to breathe in the first place. It takes a while to pass out from suffocation during which the other guy has time to retaliate with something of their own too. Just gotta hit me with a fireball or even just a nearby stapler to break my concentration and release my control on the air so you can breathe again.

Your probability manipulation on a subconscious level demands that you have that superpower.

Adoptive Muscle Memory!

The power to copy any set form of movements that usually take years of practice for the people I watch perform them. I could have a promising career as a card shuffler or I could learn all the dance moves of the world so I'm never served again. :mowignore

Does anyone think I got the short end of the super power? You have to be really active to make this one work for you.

No, not really.....

You could copy something simple like massage skills and start your own masseuse business; think about all the pretty clients you might get.... :3

Enhanced Durability

I'd probably use it to get back at people who have been or are mean to me, and then use it to help stop criminals. And if you don't know what it is, it mean I can take a lot of damage and not feel the effects until later.

Possession.

Well, it would make dating really interesting...for once, my body-switching fetish would be useful in the bedroom!  >:3 But I can't imagine using this power for evil. As Inumo said, I'd either use it for laughs, or in emergencies only.

I got camouflage.

Well, I guess I would be the best hide and seek player while growing up, only bested by that one invisible kid, and then start working as a spy or anything.

Enhanced reflexes.

I practice a martial art, so this could be awesome for me. Being fast isn't the same as being good though, alas.

Self-Spawn! Because the world needs more of me :)

Seriously though I'd just keep it a secret for as long as I can and use it to make comic books faster. Multitasking at a new high  :eager
