List any superpowers and what they do here.
PostPosted: Wed Sep 09, 2009 2:44 pm


This is a list of powers and genetic mutations from Wikipedia.


1. If you are an Elemental, you CANNOT have these abilities, except for your elemental power. Because Elementals are stronger than Mutants.
2. If you are a Half-breed, that means you are half-elemental and half-mutant. Either one of those powers inside you is stronger, NOT both. A Half-breed can choose one and only one ability out of the below list.
3. If you are a Mutant, you can have two abilities. One of them should be the dominant one while the other should be a sub-ability, which won’t be stronger than others who have the same ability as their main ability.
4. Just remember that you don’t have to be the most powerful of them all. At least you are better than those humans who don’t have any powers at all wink.gif


Different ways of having an ability.


Mutations:
Abilities resulting from either induced evolution or natural selection in humans. These abilities range from enhanced physical abilities, such as strength, speed and accelerated healing, to phenomenal psychic powers, such as telepathy and telekinesis. These powers are sometimes caused by a genetic birth defect, which shows up later on in life as supernatural powers, but exposure to chemicals or radiation has also been known to cause superhuman mutations.
Examples: X-Men or Captain Comet



Non-human physical feature:
The power may stem from a non-human feature of the user's physical form (a creature made up entirely of fire, or of rock, for example). This could include physical defenses such as claws, sharp teeth, quills, thick skin, or webbing. This is often a feature of space-aliens.
Examples: Thing or Swamp Thing



Object-based powers:
Powers derived from objects (also known as artifacts), such as armor, jewelry, weapons, and wands.
Examples: Juggernaut's Ruby of Cyttorak or Green Lantern's power battery and ring
