Powers

(not to be confused with "THE POWER")

"Powers are those things that all you people use every day to get things done. But those ones are lame and stupid because you all use them. Only the cool people know about all the super powers out there that make one an AWESOME!."' ~ a Trueist at the next convention

Space_Sheriff_Triple_Transformation — Space Sheriff Triple Transformation

All Awesomes have some form of power, even if it is merely the power that was inside of them all along. Not every power is good, some babies upon birth explode simply because that was their lame power. Some powers are so Awesome that they literally threaten to wipe out all life in the galaxy, and some powers drive the users mad or evil with power(scientists confirm this). Detrimental powers include the powers of prayer, or Traffic Light Telekinesis, or Left-Handedness.

Not all powers are Awesome, such as the power to recognize bread when you see it. But most of them are.

A lot of time people are born with powers, or they manifest at some point. Sometimes entire races of beings have powers. Other times it is the random genetic mutation of evolution in action. Powers can be induced by gods, extraterrestrial or extradimensional beings, a lab or military experiment gone awry, mystical dark arts conjuring or alchemy, deal with the devil, or a supernatural weather event such as a meteorite, solar eclipse or freaky-deaky storm, baby.

Powers can be affected by drugs, like, a person is affected by drugs. This causes the powers to take on the reverse of their original effect. An example of this is someone with the power to rewind time instead going forward in time.

In the Revengerists Omniverse, powers manifest in all of the following ways but are often later depicted differently by various fans. Trueists will tend to describe Awesomes who have very impressive high-level human abilities, sometimes bordering on supernatural, but are overall very skeptical that anything fantastical has happened, otherwise it is "fictional" and even then they will regidly maintain a self-consistent continuity and snark anything that does not or cannot adhere. Realists realize just what amazing feats of POWERS can and does happen erry day all around us with absolutely no limits at all just look around fuckers!! Members and writers of fin faction will most often depict powers manifesting as eight demon tentacle cocks, the ability to make chicks want to sleep with you by creepily staring at their legs, animophing, or characters holding each other and telepathically spouting some poetic bullshit.

Means[edit | edit source]

Examples of ways in which a character has the ability to generate an effect.

Type	Examples	See also
Inhuman nature[edit \| edit source]	Homo mermanus; Kryptonians;[1] Shinigami
The character belongs to a class of wholly or partially non-human beings for whom superhuman capabilities are typical. This includes, but is not limited to, characters who are aliens, demons, gods or hybrids.
Object-based powers[edit \| edit source] \| class="td5" valign="middle"\| Iron Man's armor; Green Lantern's power ring;[2] Sauron's One Ring	List of objects in the DC Universe
Powers derived from objects (also known as artifacts), such as armor, jewelry, weapons, and wands. Some members of the human populace can get powers from unexpected incidents such as the Wold Newton Meteorite giving off some myserious energies, while a few gained their power from exposure to Cosmic Rays. Others still derive powers from horrible diseases like the Techno-Organic Virus, others from terrible Curses.
Mutation[edit \| edit source]	X-Men;[3] Captain Comet;[4] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles	Mutant (fictional)
These powers are a direct result of some form of either induced evolution or natural selection, usually manifested during adolescent puberty when other mental and bodily adaptations take place.

Methods[edit | edit source]

Examples of methods by which a character generates an effect.

Type	Examples	See also
Energy sourcing[edit \| edit source]	Nexus;[5] Ray;[6] Apollo [7]
Ability to draw power from large or small but abundant sources of energy, such as turning kinetic energy into physical blasts or converting solar energy into other forms. Sometimes based on proximity to source, sometimes stored for future use.
Chi[edit \| edit source]	Iron Fist;[8] Krillin [9]	Qi
Dragon Ball Z AMV -- Push Ki Many characters who train in martial arts gain superhuman capabilities by learning to harness chi life energy or some other such nonsense. This type of method generally provides extraordinary strength, speed, durability and reflexes. Your basic set. Also often used for superhuman awareness, energy blasts, elemental powers and sometimes invulnerability.
Magical powers[edit \| edit source]	Supernatural: Doctor Strange;[10] Doctor Fate;[11] Ganon Pseudo-supernatural(?!?): Mister Mxyzptlk;[12][13] Impossible Man;[14] Wizardmon	Magic in our hearts
This is the ability to use magical forces to varying degrees. Often used to simulate other powers, such as mind control and elemental attacks. Not all "magical" superpowers are actually supernatural, but are based on alternative or futuristic "science".[15] For instance, Moon Knight's strength, endurance and reflexes are enhanced depending upon the phases of the moon.[16] Uncle Sam has his powers in proportion to the people's belief in the ideals of America.[17] Basically, if it doesn't make any goddamned sense, one can simply say it is "magic" and move on.
Technopathy[edit \| edit source] Black Box;[18] Cyborg Superman;[19] Drummer;[20] Micah Sanders \| Ability to manipulate technology. Manifested as a special form of electrical/telekinetic manipulation, a special form of "morphing" which allows physical interaction with machines, or even a psychic ability that allows for mental interface with computer data. Hacking[edit \| edit source]	SkyeTHATISN'THERNAAAAME!!; Anonymous
Ability to see through the internet tubes, even the most secret ones.
High Tech[edit \| edit source] sometimes these aren't powers at all but just some cool new bluetooth enabled device that to lesser minds only seems like magic oh uhhhhh what Telekinesis[edit \| edit source] Real Life Super Powers Jean Grey; Maxima;[21] Battalion; Billie Jenkins; Sylar	Psychokinesis
Ability to manipulate and control objects with the mind, often in ways not visible to the naked eye. It may only be certain items, such as with Traffic Light Telekinesis

THERE ARE LOTS OF MANY CAN HAVE POWERS!!!!!!!!![edit | edit source]

Superpower interaction This section refers to the ability to manipulate or otherwise interact with superpowers themselves, not "power" such as electrical power or gravitational power. This is also not to be confused with energies. Many of these powers are god-like, others only act as a middleman or Powers Broker to facilitate the use of powers in others. Either way, it's a way to make a quick buck, or help others escape a halted or stale storyline.

Type

Examples

Fabian Cortez; Ando Masahashi

Ability to enhance or weaken the powers of others.

Adoptive Muscle Memory[edit \| edit source]
Ability to replicate movements after observation. Although most human beings can do this, it's really only impressive when superhuman Awesomes can do it after watching (or merely glancing) once. Even then, it doesn't grant them powers above and beyond what they are physically capable of anyway, so they could never do something cool like....

Acid generation[edit | edit source]

Anarchist;[31] Man-Thing;[32] Reptile

Ability to generate acid, can be manifested through touch or as a spray. This generation mostly lived in the 1960s.

Animal mimicry[edit | edit source]

Animal Man;[33] Vixen [34][35]

Ability to take on the abilities of certain animals. This is not the same as Animorphing, just people who gain enhanced animal-like abilities. This is also not the same as furries, as they do not need to dress up as anything or play pretend. Furries are also not the same thing as werewolves. In case you were wondering.

Biological manipulation[edit | edit source]

Elixir;[36] Shawn Farrell

Ability to control all aspects of a living creature's biological make-up. This includes, but is not limited to, genetic alterations, physical distortion/augmentations, healing, disease, and biological functions. One of your basic "God-like" powers.

Ability to replace one's limbs or other body parts with those of another.

Duplication (physical)[edit | edit source]

Jamie Madrox;[40] Multiplex; Naruto Uzumaki [41]

Self-replication

Molecular cloning

Ability to create physical duplicates of oneself. This almost always results in the "individual" learning what a douche they all are. When found in bisexual narcissists, hilarity ensues.

Duplication (temporal)[edit | edit source]

Flashback;[42] Damian Tryp [43]

Ability to bring past and future versions of oneself back to the present. If they touch each other, they will either blow up, de-atomize, feint, do a double-take, or do nothing.

Invisibility[edit | edit source]

Invisible Woman;[46] Invisible Kid;[47] Mew;[48]

Invisibility

Ability to render the user unseen to the naked eye. For some reason this power has a high probability of driving the user criminally insane and murderous, or at the very least 'all rapey'. Very few are capable of using this power for good, or even apathetically using it to live in society's shadow minding their own business, but it has been known to happen. It is important to ensure that this power is also paired with Revisibility, the ability to again be seen after having gone (temporarily) invisible. If one is permamently invisible, one is bound to get squooshed by a city bus.

Invulnerability[edit | edit source]

Epic Beard Man; Emery Schaub;[49] Supergirl;[50] Brit;[51] Doc Strange [52]

Ability to be immune to one or more forms of physical damage. If it is only one, then your invulnerability pretty much sucks. Seriously, that's like, most people. Most people are invulnerable to attacks from soft white bread. Invunerables may still age and die (see: Immortality) and they may still somehow be defeated (see: Invincibility) and they can probably still have their feelings hurt. They may or may not also be "immune" to other types of attacks, such as psionic daggers, disease, emotional distress, or immunity from getting voted off the island.

Kinetic absorption[edit | edit source]

Strong Guy;[53] Sebastian Shaw [54]

Ability to absorb forms of kinetic energy into oneself and utilize it in some way, such as by converting it into physical strength or using it to power energy blasts!!

Juggling[edit | edit source]

Goku_Teach_Vegeta_The_Fusion_Steps — Goku Teach Vegeta The Fusion Steps

Ability to temporarily merge two beings into a single being, which results in a completely new and stronger being. This is also a power that can be learned by some beings through training, the powerful Fusion Technique (not the techno dubclub duo). When the fusion technique is undertaken by two platonic men, it is a beautiful and manly thing.

Pheromone manipulation[edit | edit source]

Wallflower;[60] Crimson Fox;[61]

Ability to generate and control pheromones which may have various effects. People with this power often full under the category of "Creeps". It may result in Instant Sexual Arousal.

Poison Toxin generation[edit | edit source]

Cobra;[62] Poison Ivy;[63] Maya Herrera

Ability to assault others with one or more varieties of toxins, with widely disparate effects. Technically, unless they are injecting it in you or some shit, they are actually releasing toxins. Snake or spider bites or scorpion stings injecting you are poisons, secretions or generation of chemicals that get on your are toxins. I'll shut up now.

Prehensile/animated hair[edit | edit source]

Medusa; Spider Girl [64]

Ability to animate and lengthen one's hair. There are many other body parts that could have their own 'Prehensile' powers, but we won't have room for all that. We refer, of course, to fingers.

Cellular_Adaptation_to_Stress — Cellular Adaptation to Stress

Reactive adaptation/evolution[edit | edit source]

Lifeguard;[65] Doomsday

Ability to develop a resistance or immunity to whatever they were injured by or exposed to. This effect can be permanent or temporary. Many Awesomes born with this power are not also born with Immortality, and thus die before learning how to use it. Unless some mad scientist keeps bringing them back for his own sick amusement, that is.

Self-detonation or explosion[edit | edit source]

Nitro;[66] Damage [67]

Ability to explode one's body mass. This trick can usually only be performed once.

Sonic scream[edit | edit source]

Banshee;[68] Black Canary [69]

Ability to generate vocal sounds of a higher amplitude than a normal human. They really fuck with those with that Echolocation power up there.

Superhuman breath[edit | edit source]

Awesome Android;[70] Superman;[71] Kirby

Ability to inhale/exhale with superhumanly powerful strength. This can range from exhalation on par with gale force winds to inhalation on par with the power of a gravitational vortex. In some cases, freezing temperatures can also be achieved. People who have unhumanly awful breath or who can hold their breath for ungodly lengths of time can also be included on this list, but we'd prefer not to.

Superhuman durability[edit | edit source]

Luke Cage;[72] Solomon Grundy;[73] Tick;[74] Yasutora Sado

Ability to have a higher resistance to one or more forms of damage before being injured. If you don't have at least some teensy bit of this power in addition to any others, you have no business calling yourself an Awesome.

Superhuman reflexes[edit | edit source]

Blade; Midnighter; Son Gohan [75]

Ability to react faster than a normal human, even when stoned. Spider-reflexes do not count, because I have smashed hundreds of spiders who were not able to react quickly enough.

Superhuman senses[edit | edit source]

Ability to know anything and everything, or "all-sciences". These people are very tiring to be around.
