Re: Random Superpowers
I'm at this again.
I got
Matter melding
Oh boy this is neat. You know where all those crazy DnD monsters like owlbears come from? Me apparently!
again!
Panoramic Vision
Well it’s cool, its useful but not particularly powerful as a super power. The best thing I can think of is to become some sort of spy or cop, maybe a schoolteacher bus driver or baby sitter. I’d know when they’re messing around when my back is turned. As long as I’m not stuck with compound eyes or something horrible looking like that.
Next:
night vision
Another useful but not necessarily powerful ability. Since others are combining two or three powers, lets do the same. I apparently can see all around me at night. This screams some sort of masked pulp vigilante like the shadow or the phantom.

Re: Random Superpowers
Wait, now it's three powers, right? Huh. The Amazing Asbestos Man now has Portal Creation, totally negating my earlier nemesis' glass sphere shenanigans. Those who follow fire's might cannot escape the Amazing Asbestos Man!

Re: Random Superpowers
I got petrifaction. Interesting.
I'd probably keep it as a purely defensive measure, and even then, I'd rely more on my actual combat skill than anything. I suppose if someone came near my family, though...
Yeah. Family protection. Lame, I know.
EDIT: Looks like I'm the first to get this one, actually, unless someone misspelled it.
And...looks like we're doing three. I'll get two more.
Sound manipulation -- I can fly, mimic voices even more perfectly, stop sound altogether with force fields, and be a male siren? Sweet. I think those are self-explanatory.
Selective invulnerability -- Cool. I'm not sure what I'd choose (except death, but I doubt that's an option) yet.Last edited by Temotei; 2010-11-14 at 06:15 PM.

Re: Random Superpowers
So lets see what other two powers the Human Remote if he was doused by magnetic radiation while passing by a chemical plant explosion...
Currently powers the Human Remote has:
Two new random powers....
...
...
Behold, the Universal Remote!
Why does Fate hate me so?
Okay, assuming I get to reroll those powers without my browser cache playing tricks on me:
Now we're talking. Perspicuity is the purely defensive power of being immune to psychic attacks, but that's useful what with everyone second person on this thread having mind reading or illusions or what-have-you. And Amalgamation means I can fuse stuff together or do the whole body fusion trick in case anyone else wants amazing Remote Control powers. I guess the Human Remote could fuse with something solid like a sheet of steel given his complete lack of physical powers, so that's something.Last edited by Trazoi; 2010-11-14 at 06:14 PM.

Re: Random Superpowers
Self-Detonation...
I think I would keep this one hidden and never, ever use it. If it's the type that's the last ditch effort, well, ok, sure, but I wouldn't enjoy it. If it's the type where I reform afterwords, well, I think it would still hurt like hell.Will be edited by Ryuuk : Sometime in the future.

Re: Random Superpowers
My random superpower from there was "Fourth Amendment: The ability to be defended against having your stuff taken". Woooo. Sounds mildly useful until the flavour text adds that the downside is that you can never get rid of anything you have, ever.
I think I prefer my universal remote powers.

Re: Random Superpowers
With great details comes, dumber powers, apparently. The first thing I get from it, NapKinesis. Yes, the power to fold napkins with your mind...
You know, that site never did give much restrictions on that power. It just says a portion of your body, but not if it has to be attatched to you, or even large, or close to you.
So let's say you use something like, fingernail clippings, or hair... or boogers, to blow things up from a distance. You don't kill yourself, your enemies go boom. Everyone wins, except your enemies.Last edited by lordyoshi01; 2010-11-14 at 07:14 PM.

Re: Random Superpowers
Three powers, eh? 'Kay.
So I started with Acid Generation, and now I get...
Avian Mimicry
Power to: become bird-like
The mutative power in which one takes on bird-like physiology and behavior. Includes talons and wings, gizzard, as well as enhanced vision. Difficult to revert back to original from.
Swan Song/Poetic Perish: Passes out a vociferous note heard amongst enemies/targets or even present allies. The purist of souls may be unaffected.
Okay, not bad. Flight, weapons and enhanced sight. And, erm, a gizzard, which I'm sure will come in handy. And, if I'm translating that last bit correctly, I get a sonic attack that knocks out anyone except paladins and saintly grandmothers. Difficult to resume human form, but humans suck, so that's fine.
I could be...Acid Eagle! Or Hawkburn! Or Melty the Cormorant!
Or...the Wyvern! In that I'm sort of a winged monster thing with a breath weapon. Sort of. Hell with it, it sounds cool.
Now for my third power...
Ki Manipulation
Power to: Control and manipulate Ki life force
The power to charge and manipulate life force (Ki or chi) in order to shoot it as a beam or a blast from the body.
The user is capable of charging a lot of energy in his/her body. They can then focus it on one part of the body and release it as a burst of energy. The burst of energy is capable of killing the enemy.
Right. So, I have a kill shot, basically. Well, I have a lot of offensive options now: talons, acid, sonic scream or death blast. And I'm sticking with The Wyvern.Last edited by Senator Cybus; 2010-11-14 at 07:13 PM.

Re: Random Superpowers
Since three powers seems to be the thing now, I got Summoning as my third power. Well that's pretty good.
So... I'm a frog-man who can jump through mirrors and summon things. Those are the least related powers ever. What's my super name then?
And let's not forget my nemesis, with Illumination, Energy Manipulation, and http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Equine_Mimicry.
So he's a shiny centaur who can manipulate different kinds of energy. I guess the whole light thing goes well with my mirror abilities...?

Re: Random Superpowers
I just got the ability to summon paranormal creatures through mirrors, travel through them and drag people into monster dens through them.
This is possibly more awesome than any of the other powers I've got through the Superpower Wiki (disregarding convenience and general usefulness, I'm going totally on the coolness factor here).cool avatar by araveugnitsuga

Re: Random Superpowers
Alright, the Lock Mocker already had the power to open and lock things, rolling two new additional powers got me: Simian Mimicry and Levitation.
So, now I'm a hovering monkey burglar. Maybe my name will be Hovering Lock Mocker Monkey?
Obviously, I was bitten by a monkey who had just escaped from a government lab* which radiated him with hover magic. Obviously.
*The government lab had so many locked doors. So many!

Re: Random Superpowers
Since there's a new site I may as well take a stab at using that for another set... that being said I still am in love with my stepping discs, nightmare realms, and reality warping combo I received earlier.
New powers are:
Dream Dance (ability to travel into a sleeping or unconcious person's dreams)
Tactile Pyrokinesis (ability to let someone control fire by touching something connected to it like a lighter, paper, wood, etc.)
and... is ths safe for the forums? Pregnancy Beam? (the power to point at a woman capable of giving birth and making them instanty pregnant)
Uhh...

Re: Random Superpowers
I got Objection!. But I can already do that...
The ability to object to anything that annoys you.
You can object to anything you want at any time. Things that bother you, tick you off, make you sad, anything at all. But if you do, you won't be able to bring back the thing or person you objected to. So watch what you object to.
The good:
You can object to anything you don't want to listen to.
If there is anything you don't like, you can object to it.
You can get rid of anything you want to.
The bad:
Certain things shouldn't be objected to.
Once you object you can't go back. If you don't think about what you object, you may object the wrong thing so think before you object.

Re: Random Superpowers
I got Transforming Dragon Master #1. I can become a master of any martial art.
Then I rolled again and got Summoning the Hat of the Hatter. I get to wear the hat of the Mad Hatter, but I become insane.
Yeah... I got the ability to tell when people are sleeping as on the the original 3 from the wiki.

Re: Random Superpowers
Ok, new random list, I'm going to see what 3 I get this time around.
Ok: First one death reversal...Ok, never get to use that hopefully
Next: Body Supremacy, and I love this one. Automatic Acrobatic skills, that is pretty useful/ entertaining .
Lastly: The Big Squeeze, seems fun to abuse, but tasteless none the less. Still hilarious .Last edited by ExtravagantEvil; 2010-11-14 at 10:06 PM.

Re: Random Superpowers
So the Powers I got are:
Transformation (which is apparently different from shape shifting but the site doesn't say how)
Amalgamation, I can merge with people and things, kinda odd, but it could be handy.
And... drum roll... Lightning Mutation, I can throw lightning that transforms people.
So one the whole kinda cool powers, but I don't know how I could use them in day to day life.Avatar By Kalirush
