Super You, Take Two (OOC)

[CCC]

I am sorry to hear that, Skitz and Kiroth.

[gregnier]

wait? What.. the.. glob?

[Kajin]

If Jimmy really is getting two powers then doesn't that mean he's the protagonist?

[Skitzophrenik]

That makes it sound like Jimmy wasn't already the protagonist.

[Grillick]

Martín has had, like, three or four powers since he was created, technically. So neener.

[Skitzophrenik]

Well so have most of us I think. Jimmy's flight is one power, but his extra-atmospheric flight is several powers.

[FreakyBoy]

I guess I'll go ahead and spoil the surprise for everyone, since the rule will come into play next time you spend points anyway: Jimmy's just the first to get dual powers. You'll all be allowed to branch out your powers by the end of the year.

[Skitzophrenik]

That's lame.

[FreakyBoy]

Don't worry; lots of characters probably won't bother with dual powers. Martín and the Speedsters, for instance, are already spending small fortunes on their single powers.

Also, no current character has a good justification for a powerset as diverse as the stereotypical flying brick.

[Skitzophrenik]

Even Jimmy is atypical of a flying brick, in that he only has the flight and the brick-ness. Usually a flying brick has some other (usually thematic) powers to set them apart from all the other flying bricks.

In explanation, I really wanted to be a flying brick ala Invincible from book of same name, and I thought up Jimmy's background before seeing Sky High. FB said I could do it in the first game and the Fortress-similarity and the resentment of people expecting him to also have two powers became part of Jimmy's character once I'd seen Sky High.

Actually given the nature of gary's powers I think i know one additional power which could be fit in...

[FreakyBoy]

You're right, Gary could do it if he wanted to be a jerk.

Invulnerability?

Hmmmm... Al's already got the swiss army knife of powers. I don't think he needs another one. (Though stretching, like Rubber, might fit thematically; or some sort of short-range extra-sensory perception that he can use if he takes on a non-living shape.)

Either way, I've got time to think about it.

[Kajin]

I'm thinking of having Adam take on some manner of Telekinesis. It might work thematically if I say it works as an extension of his shield, but if so it might have to be extremely short range when he first receives it. Power: Telekinesis. Flaw: Short Range. Would that work?

[FreakyBoy]

No, probably not.

I think you're looking for a way to do more damage, though, so might I suggest the "Strike" power? That would be a pretty natural extension of the shield.
