Superpowers (5)

1 Name: NoirGrimm : 2012-04-23 10:55 ID:+tNMohk5 [Del]

Been having a story in my head for awhile now. but it needs more action. So, I think I'm going to add some Military aspects to it. but, i want there to be some superpowers in there to. but i don't want to knock off the DC and Marvel super-humans. I been checking this out Wiki-List of superhuman features and abilities in fiction. But I always think about what I'd have if i could pick 3-5 powers, one being a travel power. What I'm asking is for some people to pick 3-5 powers, one being a travel power and also make up a weakness. your powers and weakness doesn't have to be on the list. just nothing to retarded please.

2.) astro projection
3.) Flight (that counts as a travel power, right?)
4.) morphing powers
5.) control of electricity.
Weakness: Water.

3 Name: BarabiSama!!C8QPa1Mt : 2012-04-23 17:11 ID:Y4rH7eu4 [Del]

1) Omnipresence (this was listed under travel)
2) Empathy
3) Superhuman Mentality
Weakness: feeling emotions

With those three powers, a person would be able to control another's actions. It's simple. With omnipresence, you can know anything about anyone. With empathy, you can control how a person feels. With superhuman mentality, you can make someone think they want to do something even if they don't. If you combine these three, you can know anything you want about a person, then make them feel an emotion of your choosing to an extreme degree, then use those two and your superhuman mentality to convince them that they want to do something.

I chose these three because it's basically brainwashing, but in a more intelligent way. Then, you can have everyone do as you say. You can control everyone, and anyone who opposes you, you can kill them.

About the weakness now. Basically, if you can make the person with these three powers feel any type of emotion, then you've hit their weakness. This person is meant to be an unfeeling person who doesn't care about other people. This person should not feel emotions, because they know that emotions can be used against you. If you can make them feel emotions, than you can manipulate them. In that case, the manipulator will be manipulated.

The superhero name will be The Manipulator!

>>4 but wouldn't a weakness like feeling emotions either make you go insane or not be able to understand the emotions of others? either way though, that would be interesting. I can see this character slowly going insane from being in peoples heads and feeling their emotions. I think the perfect side kick for you would be someone with power negation. like >>3 but also, better if y'all both annoyed each other or had some conflicts. comedic or otherwise. but needed to stay around each other to keep from going insane.

>>3 I think the only one that seems kinda odd on that list is biological manipulation. not complaining, just seems out of place. though it would make for an interesting ace in the hole.

>>2 I like your list, but water seems to easy of a weakness. but still good choices.

So far I'm liking it. y'all have given me some really good ideas on how this world should be and how the type of people with powers from be. Thanks, and keep them coming.
