Forums → The Tavern → What's Your Random Superpower?
| 685 | 226171 |
You know what's cool? Superpowers. What person wouldn't want superpowers? There's so many out there to choose from. There's flying, super strength, shooting lasers, etc. The list goes on forever.
However sometimes the people in fictional stories don't always get to choose their powers. I'm pretty sure Peter Parker didn't choose to get bitten by a radioactive spider.
So I've found this Superpower wiki to add some realism into the thread. This wiki contains thousands of powers. Some insanely powerful and those that are extremely useless.
What I want you to do is click the 'random page' link and then that's the power or powers you get. You can do this as many times as you want to get a combination of powers or just a single power.
For me, I'll keep it simple for now and do three.
Airwave Manipulation
Suicide Inducement
Warping Presence
Wow, that second one is going to be fun.

Property Conglomeration
This is a weird power, but it sounds also rather powerful. I can sort of copy the properties of everything in my area, including my opponent, and stack it all into my attacks. So if I'm in a particularly hot place, I can combine heat into my attack, and if my opponent (or someone on my side, doesn't really matter) is particularly strong I can combine strength into it. The more the merrier!
Interface Creation
I can create a holographic personal digital interface that allows me to access and manipulate data digitally stored, or other stuff one can do with computers I guess; except that I don't really need any hardware? I think this power is more fancy and flashy than truly useful.
Subatomic Manipulation
I can manipulate matter at the subatomic level (subatomic particles). As with the power KatPryde had three days ago, relativity manipulation, mistakes may have devastating consequences, so I should really know what I am doing. Other than that, this is uber tier alright.
Today, I have the power to manipulate subatomic particles. The first two powers don't really add anything I couldn't do with the third one, although having them as active powers means I don't necessarily have to understand the physics behind them.
Power Randomization
I can have Random Powers at any given moment. That's kinda...random honestly xD It can be potentially devastating or useless, depending on the power I get.
Technology Augmentation
How can anyone "multiply" existing tech? o.O
(Failure embodiment - Pretty good, but I've gotten it before. Skip)
Warp Energy Manipulation
I have this in my Daemon Form! xD Pseudo-Rand is laying a path that looks similar to reality in front of me! I have to be cautious.
Anyway, for anyone wondering what Warp Energy actually is, it is a form of energy that comes from another dimension, the infamous Warpspace, a completely unstable dimension and the Realm of Chaos. It allows me to perceive things that I normally would not be able to (extrasensory perception), manipulate tech, absorb this energy, transform my body so that it is made of pure Warp Energy, fire various Warp attacks and even warp reality to a limit xD
Combination Attacks
A.k.a. combos ^^ Longest. 'Known-Users'. List. EVER.
Cosmic Otherness
I am unique, a singularity, different in every aspect from everything that was, is, and ever will be. I am beyond life and death, beyond physics, beyond anything. And oh my goodness what a list of applications!
Rarity Detection
Ugh, this is so underwhelming after the last one... I have the ability to detect rare resources. Yay.
Today, I am an ungodly, living singularity with the abilities to do combo attacks and sense rare resources.
(Nigh-Complete Arsenal. Great but I've gotten it before. Skip)
Hypnotic Food
The power to control others via food. Too many limitations and only one application...low tier power.
Equipment Usage
This is a power? really? And it is even a good one? Artificial limbs, magical items, vehicles, proficiency in weapons and even weapon manipulation...oh well. I am impressed.
Illusionary Environment
It is actually pretty good, as it includes Illusions in general. Even invisibility and maze creation.
I can absorb the memories of people and utilize it someway. Like gain strength, create a shield, enhanced condition, etc. Sweet!
I can remove the sense of touch. This can also paralyze people for some reason. Meh, alright.
I can curve the trajectory of projectile attacks. Allowing to be accurate with shooting and also allow me to dodge bullets, fireballs, etc.
I can absorb memories, paralyze someone by taking away their sense of touch, and curve the trajectory of projectiles. The first two work pretty well considering I might have to get close to a person to absorb their memories. A pretty satisfying set for me.
Just one for fun.
Magical Trap Construction
I can cast magical traps. This is extremely practical, as laying traps instead of casting direct on-target spells does not require anyone being nearby, also it being magical the trap can have pretty much any effect as long as I am well-versed in the corresponding magic school. Hey, next time you get a small static shock when touching a door handle, it might as well have been a prank of mine
Ecokinetic Invisibility - Ability to become invisible in nature.
Contortive Ingestion - The ability to ingest objects whole by distorting their dimensions.
Temporal Inversion - The power to cause time go in the opposite direction.
Interface Creation - just had it a few days ago.
Earth Embodiment
I am a physical manifestation of the element earth (not the planet) and thus have full control over it. Having full control over soil and stone is pretty neat.
Alternate-Self Learning
The power to learn from one's alternate self, usually from... the future? Paradox incoming!
Fairy Dust Manipulation
I may generate, shape and manipulate fairy dust, although generating it is not guaranteed. I suppose this is limited to fairies, pixies and their ilk. It can be used for various magical purposes, 'surfing' on waves of fairy dust, or even creating constructs/weapons/armour out of it. Meeh.
Today I am an earth elemental capable of learning from my future or other alternate selves and of manipulating fairy dust.
Exorcism
My ability to remove spirits, souls, ghouls and demons out of living beings. No matter how strong the demon is, I will pull it out with some effort. If that doesn't work I'll just shoot you in a head with shotgun, Doom style
Enhanced Strenght
As the title says, I have power to increase my muscle's strenght. I can lift cars, crush buildings or even impale a human with bare hands. The only problem might be the physics. I hate you Newton.
I can accelerate the age of myself and others at a rate that I choose. It doesn't just work on living things, it can also work on objects subject to aging. I can essentially turn everything and everyone to dust. Awesome!
Step aside omnipotence. Itching Inducement is the most overpowered power now.
Omnidirectional Electricity Waves
I can send electricity in every direction. Sweet!
I can accelerate age and send electricity in every direction. But who needs those powers when all I need is itching inducement? Definitely the best set.
Step aside omnipotence. Itching Inducement is the most overpowered power now.
lol ^^
Object Immortality
I am immortal, though this immortality is guaranteed by a certain specific item or being or place, most commonly an item though. Destroying the item may end my immortality or outright kill me. Better hide it well then.
Luck Magic
The power to do luck-related magic. Hmm, luck mode, jinx... probability bolts? Oh cool, I can pretty much cast spells that cause highly unlikely events. Chaos!
Organic Entity Creation
The power to create, shape and control beings out of any organic matter. Like flesh golems, or actual walking skeletons, stuff like that.
I am a lich with the power to raise creatures out of organic materials and jinx my enemies. Onward, my minions!
Regeneration using sand. Packing my sun cream and a pair of shades. Beach life it is!
I get power from following orders? Seriously?!?! Guess I've got to decide between power and my pride. -_-
I exist only within photographs as a creepy black outline, even if I was never in the picture in the first place. Like Slenderman. The sole purpose is to scare people.
I am a non-existing shadow who regenerates using sand and follows orders. Oh well. At least I'm scary.
I'm an expert at hand-to-hand combat. There's a lot of applications with this so I'm definitely happy.
I can turn into, or have a body made of ash. Hmm, acceptable.
I'm immune to all power-altering abilities. Such as copying, negating, erasing, absorbing, and other things to that effect.
Ash Mimicry
Hey, that's the power I use in the forum RPG!
Supernatural Voice
This comes with a huuuuuge array of potential effects; it can be anything, really, though my favourite is Belief Vocifery: the power to alter reality by stating "I believe so-and-so". Hmm, I find it weird that Saruman from the Lord Of The Rings is not on the list of known users.
Revenge Empowerment
The power to get stronger thanks to feelings of revenge, either mine or someone elses. Meh.
Planetary Empowerment
Now that's a much better empowerment power (ugh). This is the ability to draw power from the planet I'm on, to various effects like supercharging my attacks, gaining great physical strength, or effects specific to the planet itself, whatever this can be...
All in all, I gain power from revenge but can also draw power directly from the planet itself; I also have a supernatural voice that can be used to virtually any effect, potentially. Hear me and obey!
I don't know if this means I would have abilities of them all or if I would have to pick just one....
At the top of the list with the different protogenoi is a section called 'All' with a list of powers that most certainly are meant to be common to all of them, while those below are specific to each one of them. Though I'm not certain every single one is meant to have the full scope of the 'Creation' superpower, for example.
