Re: Super Power Lottery
From what I've read, this is more of a form of empathy that draws energy from the people around them, much like a succubus or Mexican masked wrestler. The more of a certain type of mental energy is around you, the more powerful you are, filled with energy and strength.
A famous person or music idol would be all powerful with this. |D(ノส้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้ ωส้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้)ノ LASERS

Re: Super Power Lottery
Besides, most people tend to forget that Aquaman is actually a total badass.
"lol he talks to fish"
No, he commands them to do his will.
"rofl fail comic relief"
The only member of the League that is stronger than him is Superman. In fact, going underwater, he's on par with Superman in every aspect except for durability.
"Aquaman is a joke"
Only applies to the Superfriends Aquaman, who did talk to fish and was a complete joke.Steam username is Triscuitable.

I try not to think of how sad that is.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Not an exact analogy, but I present the Coconut Effect. Even if he was strong, failure Aquaman is still too ingrained in the internet to be forgotten/replaced

Re: Super Power Lottery
The best part is that even in the DC Universe, nobody takes him seriously. He just shows up in the middle of Metropolis to stop two robbers, the police ask why he's there (not close to any water), and he takes his trident and flips the car over.
He also eats fish in that same issue, and is interviewed by a dork who asks him why everyone thinks he's a joke.Steam username is Triscuitable.

Re: Super Power Lottery
One thing I like when creating heroes is to take classically villainous powers and make heroes with them. Not anti-heroes, dark, broody and violent, but out and out heroes who like helping others as best they can. This one is a tough one, but not impossible. A charsmatic type who surrounds themselves with fans so they only have to take a sip from each. Even other heroes might think they are only in it for glory and fame, but they know that they are doing the best with the hand fate dealt.
Think a vampiric Booster Gold.

Re: Super Power Lottery
I got law manipulation and my initial reaction was that it was kind of lame until I read that it can be used to create, change, or erase the actual rules of reality, right down to fundamental laws of physics.

Re: Super Power Lottery
As far as I can tell, we seem to have a group of people with powers that frankly, are useless except in very specific situations, myself included. And another group who have practically divine power over the consequence.
Nestled in between, is a group who possesses powers that have a greater application but don't grant the user dominion over a large proportion of the cosmos.
I suppose that's the difficulty of these lotteries.Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Not the strongest of the linguistic powers, but still pretty awesome as these things go. Out of curiosity, what happens if I write, oh.. 'servile genie' or something along those lines?Last edited by Ajadea; 2012-08-16 at 01:36 AM.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Fireball Projection...
Well, I think that disqualifies me from LUTAS... and indeed from heroics in general. Fireballs are generally fairly destructive, and there's not a lot of subtlety involved... So Villain I guess? Or Anti-hero at best?

Re: Super Power Lottery
I think we should basically categorize this to:
- People with (possibly borderline) useless powers, like superfarts.
- People with non-universe breaking powers, like Pyromancy.
- People with powers that totally ruin it for everyone, like changing the laws of reality. NOT ALLOWED! You won't ever use your power!
That's really a cool power. Seen it, but I still love it.Last edited by Triscuitable; 2012-08-16 at 01:56 AM.

Re: Super Power Lottery
I got Disease Mimicry. Which was kind of confusing when I first read it, but apparently I'm Alex Mercer. So, uh, yeah. No LUTAS for me.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Well, with all the superheroes teams popping up I think it's time to spice things up a bit.
Let's face it, no matter what kind of person you are, some powers are just evil. Take mine for exemple. I disintegrate stuff. I basically can't apply non-lethal force and if anyone challenges me my only answer is to erase them from the face of the Earth on a molecular level. Talk about overkill!
Also, if I ever get really really pissed off with the planet I could start disintegrating it chunk after chunk, beholder-style.
Why not just embrace it and bring terror to the world?
So come on people, join the "Bad Powers" company or BP co., for short.
Just fill the form below:
1-Is your power unplesant, immoral or extremely destructive?
2-Have you got enough self-restraint to use it responsably?
3-Really?

Re: Super Power Lottery
This game really gets fun when trying to justify three powers in one char. Two... not so hard. But sometimes that thrid power is really the keystone that creates uniquness:
Aquatic Respiration
Not a bad start. I implies some interesting backstory element and allows the char to travel some roads others might find blocked.
Elemental Breath. A little random, but still somewhat fitting. Sea dragon or underwatter spitting cobra... lets see if that third power brings it all together.
Heat Transfer.
So there you go. I absorb heat from all sources around me and focus that as either a flaming or steam-based blast out of my mount. Seadragon.
Not bad :)
Others should try the thre-point reconciliation. It give the game a challenge.

Re: Super Power Lottery
You just aren't being creative enough. If they are a gadget villain, disintegrate their gadgets. If they are super tough, disintegrate things selectively so the objects drop on them. If you are up high, make a hole under them. Trapping a none flier in a deep, smoothly lined is an option for several power levels.
Villainy is for the uncreative.

Re: Super Power Lottery
Destiny_Manipulation
Hm, So I can perceive and manipulate destiny allowing me to manipulate reality, great start!
Grim_Reaper_Physiology
And I am the Grim Reaper, I see a trend here...
Eye_Color_Manipulation
and of course I still have my eye color manipulation from the first lottery
So I can see and change the destiny of those around me, instantly kill those trying to destroy reality or resurrect some kind souls who died before their time was up, depending on the task I am about to do I change my eyecolor from red to green etc ^^
I think I will self promote me to Guardian of reality now
