I saw a similar post to this on another forum.
Basically, you just go to this page (http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Superpower_Wiki), and press the button marked "random page".
Whatever comes up is now your superpower. What will it be? How will you use it? For good or for evil?
I got
Matter Melding.
QuoteThe ability to graft, meld, mix, or fuse any type of matter together. A variation of Elemental Manipulation.
Clearly, a burgeoning career in the construction or pharmaceutical industry awaits me.
And if that doesn't work out I can always fuse a bunch of stray animals and orphans together and create a travelling freakshow. What a great power!
From this day forth, I shall be known as
Meldo!
'Unknown alien or futuristic capabilities. Not to be confused with Magic or Reality Warping, these skills and capabilities are not yet known to human beings.'
Well, thats a bit boring, isn't it? Suits me down to the ground! :lol:
Mnemokeneses - Mental manipulation not to be confused with memory reading.
so i can put thoughts into people heads and alter their perception of the past memories etc. Hmmn see that coming in usefull at the Pub, waves hand Obi-Wan style "yes you will be going home tonight with this man, he is a stud and you will be completely satisfied".
boringly i think i would be called Mnemoman.
CU radbacker
Omniscience.
"The user's mind is unblocked to the entire universe. They know every answer to every question, past, present, and future."
So what's tonights sodding Lottery numbers then?
Enhanced Intelligence.
The user has immense memory and other mental capacity, allowing thinking on different levels at once and while...Shit! The grill!
Amalgamation:
"The ability to form a mixture between existing creations. Also known as Merging, Body Insertion, Combining, or Mixture."
I always have been quite the ladies man.
Mobile invulnerability. Power to be unstoppable.
ALRIGHT THEN
Well to be honest I got super jump first but was so disappointed I cheated and had another go. I then got prehensile hair, which if you could see my shaun head you would realise had a very limited range...
...I'm destined to be a rubbish superhero alas.
Omnipotence
The titanically powerful ability in which one encompasses all superpowers.
That should come in handy.
Omnilingualism. A bit crap.
The innate power to decipher any oral language and speak any fluently. I'm going to go for the obvious here and call myself The Cunning Linguist.
Ironically i got:
Hive Mind.
The ability to assimilate new bodies, allowing the assimilator to use the new bodies as if they were the assimilator's own. Also called gestalt mind.
So nothing new then.
Oh groovy. This would be awesome to have RIGHT NOW as I set at my desk in my office on another lousy day when everything is going wrong.
SELF DESTRUCTION
The power in which one may let loose an explosion from their body and recover gradually afterward. Also known as Detonation, Nuclear/Atomic Explosion, Explosion or Self-Destruct
I got a bit of an odd one, which I think might be better suited to the ladies. (They even included a couple of hot babes demonstrating the power:)
(I did post a Jpeg link here, but it doesn't work...)
Here's the URL. (http://powerlisting.wikia.com/index.php?title=Claw_Retraction&image=Ladydeathstrike_vs_x23-jpg)
QuoteClaw Retraction
The power to instantaneously extend one's nails into sharp claws.
It goes into a bit more detail here:
QuoteCapability:
The user can grow bone-like claws and retract them. The user's fingers dynamically generates calcium and iron to extend forth sturdy light-weight nails. Can be used as tools or weapons. Can retract these claws, absorbing the calcium and iron back into the body. Nails may be enhanced with mineral injected to bind with their anatomy.
So... basically I'm a rubbish version of Wolverine or Feral then? I'd think this ability would be better if coupled with a bit of superstrength, or even just stamina.
I can see the claws coming in very handy if I get fit and learn to fight properly, mind you. Those muggers who robbed me at knife point might have had second thoughts if I'd suddenly sprouted a bunch of talons...
"Call that a knife?"
Snikt! "I've got ten of them..."
As for the business of "Nails may be enhanced with mineral injected to bind with their anatomy.", surely you'd need a healing factor to get the benefit of that, right? Be weirdly ironic injecting myself to strengthen my nails only to poison myself (or scorch myself from the inside out if we go the liquid metal route) in the process. On the plus side, as the nails seem to be the result of 'dynamically creating calcium and iron' and reabsorbing it when retracting, I won't have to put up with that ol splitting knuckle thing that Wolverine goes through. And if the claws get broken, I should grow a new one each time, if I understand he power correctly.
Dear me, I'm putting a lot of thought into these nail powers, aren't I? (This isn't a power I'd choose, but since it's the one that came up, I'm making the most of it...)
Oh, yeah, a name.
Mardclaw (Snigger. Yeah I probably should have put more thought into that. I was thinking The Shredder, but there's a guy with a similar name already. Dicer? No that sounds... camp. I'll stick to 'Mardclaw' cos it's stupid and appeals to me. I think I might need to jettison the secret identity though...)

I dunno! I'd quite like that power. You can go anywhere in the world and you'll be able to speak the language. Also imagine the amount you could earn with translation, etc.
Seemed like fun so I joined in and what do I get?
Mendacity Detection
I'm a human lie detector. I always knew I would be a crap superhero but I didn't think I would be have the same power as a machine that has been around for the best part of a century. :'(
Well, i got... MULTIPLY!
"The ability to multiply an object or person. Also called Multiplicity, Duplication, Cloning, or Replication. Not to be confused with Animation or Creation, each unit is a copy of the original, and not independent."
Now then, wheres that tenner gone...?

I got that too! I can have loads of fun multiplying rare items thus decreasing their value! Take that, jonathan Ross's comic collection!
this sucks Enhanced Durability
The power to sustain numerous blows of internal or external assaults before succumbing to the effects. Also known as Delayed Capitulation. yeay I can take a punch. :|
Dream Manipulation
'The power to mentally manipulate, project and control dreams or manipulate dream powers, also known as Oneiromancy or Oneirokinesis.'
My crime-fighting powers know no limits!... as long as I wait until my enemies go to sleep.
I got:
Incantation
"Naming a subject can allow limited control over the targets life or actions. Specific words or phrases may act like commands"

Now that sounds fun! The impoverished underclasses of Britian will revile me as a Super Villian of insurmountable power.
No benefit claim is too heartfelt to escape my steely gaze of truthiness! :D
I got:- Pheromone Manipulation
'The ability to psychically manipulate one's own pheromones as well as the pheromones of others for one's own purposes. The user can exude pheromones from the skin or mouth. With this ability, one could release pheromones that do everything from inducing attraction between subjects (or within a subject for oneself), to exuding amounts of pheromones strong enough to induce sleep, change emotions and draw crowds. These pheromones may induce a pleasure, or may put subjects into a state of high suggestibility (either of which is useful for limited mind control).
The user's pheromones may even increase stamina, slightly stimulate the healing process or (used offensively) cause foes to become disoriented, violent or extremely sick. One can issue a gas that makes people who inhale it more prone to seduction or suggestions. The victims are still in control of their conscious, but have weakened discipline.'
Sounds cool, not sure about 'issuing gases though' :-[ It all depends how I issue the gas I suppose!
Insect Mimicry ??????
Look forward to using my stink bug powers on my enemies and then scuttling to safety. May have to divorce my wife and take a vow of celibacy: bug life does not end well for the sexually active male bug.

Omniscience.
"The user's mind is unblocked to the entire universe. They know every answer to every question, past, present, and future."
My wife and daughter have this.
I got Omnilock
Omnilock is a divine ability to exist outside of everything. Similar to chronolock, but encompassing negative energy as well.
Well, I got TURTLE MIMICRY. Users obtain TURTLE CHARACTERISTICS!. Useful that. Great.
That's easily the best one yet. And by best I mean worst.
We've got the makings of a super-hero team already!
So many strategies sping to mind... I can use my melding powers to mix up some titanium for Mardclaw. He can then inject it to make his fingernail claws even stronger.
Cyberleader can act as a human shield for Van Dom, so he can get behind enemy lines and blow them all up.
Mnemoman can use his memory-altering powers to help us get insects at the pet shop without having to pay. These insects can then be used to power up Ignatzmonster so he can tie up the baddies with silk from his arse, or something.
Keef Monkey can be our PR guy, since he speaks all languages.
davethomson would make a great attorney for all the inevitable lawsuits.
And if someone is drowning, I guess Exilewood could probably help with that, I guess.
Summoning
The power to summon forth a object or organism. Also known as Induced Teleportation or Conjuration.
The user psychically transports the person or object of choice by means of static teleportation.
Kylie: "Strewth, not again Minky, how do you always know when I'm having a bath ya pervy Pom?!"
Um, I got this?
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Power (http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Power)
Watt?
See what I did there?
Darkforce Manipulation
DarkForce Manipulation is power to control, generate, manipulate or channel dark force energy.
* Darkforce teleportation: They can teleport by entering the Darkforce dimension, moving a short distance within it and emerging back on Earth a great distance from their point of origin. A span of miles on Earth can be traversed in only a few steps via shortcuts through the Darkforce. Some can teleport other persons or objects along with themselves in this fashion, too, a rarely used since most beings cannot safely traverse the Darkforce.
* Darkforce Channeling: High-level users can channel Darkforce to create a field of darkness in their general vicinity. People enveloped by this darkness feel numbing cold and crippling fear, sometimes seeing disturbing visions. Overlong exposure to the darkness can drive people insane. Unprotected victims trapped in this dark realm are gradually drained of their life force, and presumably die unless they release them.
* Darkforce Intangibility: Very high-level users can become intangible.
* Darkforce Projection: High-level users can project the Darkforce into simple mentally controlled forms such as pincers, rings, columns, spheres, and so on. They can form objects with great resistance to concussive forces. They can form objects with a volume sufficient to encompass ten human beings comfortably. These objects are solid and well defined while they consciously will them to be. If they were rendered unconscious, they dissipate. Some can also project a beam of solid force, capable of impacting an object with sufficient power.
* Darkforce Flight: Users can channel their dark force energy through their bodies and allow themselves to be projected into the air.
I would use this power to take over the world.
V
I like Jared's attack plan, mainly because I'm not on the frontlines in combat situations.
Coincidentally (or did someone get a probability altering power?) there's a programme about dark matter on the Syfy channel at the moment. (Not that I'm watching it any more..)
Okay, I suppose that's not the same thing as 'dark force' so the only coincidence is the word 'dark'.
I think the recent titanium injection might be screwing with my brain chemistry.... Mind you I've always been easily fascinated.
Cheers though, Jared.
[spoiler]HNNNNNGH. Ooh. That's good.[/spoiler]
Super Reflexes!
Cool!
Healing Powers.
I'm a healer. Take a hike, Jesus. The System will heal your pain.
I was a Care Assistant you know. But I didn't care for it much.
Re-Animation.
Users are able to cause dead beings to regain life.
■Reanimated targets may accidentally become zombies, undead or ghouls.
Had to be really, didn't it? Well, either that of "Enormous balls".

Hang on there Jared. Granted I've just gained my new found powers of
insect mimicry, and I still have much to learn, but why and HOW does one "power up" using insects? Never saw Spiderman, Yellow Jacket, Ant Man, The Wasp (Marvel had a fuck ton of insect superheroes didn't they?) ever
consume insects to engage their powers. That said, still very much on board for your developementally delayed JLA.

No, no, no. All you need is to be in close proximity to the insect you're mimicking. We'd just give you an envelope with some squahed spider sin it or something.

Vzzbux - I like your style!
I got Omnipotence, the titanically powerful ability in which one encompasses all superpowers.
The user can use all powers, having an infinite mastery over all of them. The user is also granted the ability to use all their powers indefinitely, as they have an unlimited supply of energy.
* Can use almost any existing power and ability the user desires.
* Control the forces of the universe.
* Telekinetically move and alter a planets course.
* Shoot bolts of energy that can destroy planets.
* Immunity to any attack.
* Immortality.
* Immense Knowledge.
* Take away a person's free will.
* The divine power of creation.
* Warp the very fabric of reality and space-time on near universal scales.
* Change a person into another being.
* Control and manipulate multiple minds.
* Create exceedingly strong and powerful black holes.
* Destroy/Create planets, stars, galaxies and even universe/multiverse.
* Create sentient and intelligent life forms.
* Control and manipulate time.
* Omnipresence.
* Control the natural forces.
* Ressurect the dead.
* Elemental Control/Manipulation (control and manipulate the five elements of nature: Water, Fire, Earth, Air, and Quintessence (pure life energy)
* Omnilingualism/Zoolingualism
* Creation and Destruction Abilities (on planetary, intergalactic or even universal scales)
* Sound Manipulation
* Sonic Scream
* Portal/Vortex Creation: create portals, swirling vortexes, or wormholes to other planets, worlds, and interdimensional realms the user desires
Limits None, however, proper use of this power requires Omniscience, as otherwise the being will not be able to handle the incomprehensible, immeasurable power they possess, and will become intoxicated by it, going mad. Using this power properly requires tremendous levels of self-control, and the power and ability to resist the temptations the power presents.
God damn it. As if I didn't already have enough to do ::)
I don't care what none of you say. With my super-breathing-underwater power, I will dive below the ocean waves & begin my own Exiled-Exilewood community; & all my begotten legacy will be born with super-strong turtle shells, which we shall harvest & sell as decorative turtle-shell stuff for guitar pick-guards and the like; and we will grow rich & with our super-turtle long-life, we shall wait & plot & brood, like super-turtle-exile-aquapeopleturtles, until all of you fancypants ubermensch have grown fat & lazy in your stupid Shangri-la, Xanadu, Kubla Khan Pleasuredomes. Then we shall rise up & create a new turtle-order, of, um, turtle...things...and...stuff...
I'm more concerned now that my 12 year old son took one quick look at this threead and said "what a bunch of geeks". :lol:

On the plus side I can perform a splendid short back and sides now without scissors!
All I need is to team up with a partner with healing or melding powers so we can reattach the ears afterwards and we could be in business!
Self-Detonation
Ability To:
Explode.
The power in which one may let loose an explosion from their body and recover gradually afterward. Also known as Detonation, Nuclear/Atomic Explosion, Explosion or Self-Destruct
Not sure if I'm happy with that one, though is does explain one or two things..
As someone who works around delicate equipment and flammable materials, I imagine that the ability to explode would be extremely useful.

Air manipulation? :o >:( I'm going to fart a new universe in anger at this pathetic power.
Solar Manipulation. Nice. The sun really does shine out of my posterior.
QuoteThe power to control and generate solar energy with one's mind. The users can direct and bend the flow of the sun's power, causing sun spot reactions, UV emission, and promote plant growth. Can cause geomagnetic storms and generate solar wind.
Middle level users can induced power solar flares.
■Generate miniature suns/stars that could damage planets if not handled properly.
■Generate solar winds that could destroy all life in the user's surroundings.
■Generate Geomagnetic storms that could affect Earth's technology.
■Cause skin diseases.
■Shoot a beam of solar energy.
■Produce Light, to blind opponents.
■Charge solar-based technology ( Solar Panels)
■Become pure solar energy.
Goo Generation.
Pfft. Been doing that for years...
If someone hadn't got Turtle Mimicry I'd be a contender for rubbishest power, as this isn't teleportation, it is just moving fast enough to fool people into thinking you have. It could be achieved by shouting "over there", pointing and while everyone is looking strolling to your new location, because "A user of Flash Step doesn't nessisarily have to be fast to be able to use this technique."
QuoteFlash Step (http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Flash_Step)
The power to use short bursts of speed allowing the user to move faster than the eye can track, making it appear as if they have teleported. A partial power of Enhanced Speed.
I mean really, it seems actual using the power would break every bone in my corset and flay me alive:
QuoteCould be difficult to use, for the movement would be so fast they cannot be seen. For the movement would be so fast all one would be unable to see anything of the world except one big blur. ... Another potential problem for the unajusted, would be the physical body. The quick movements and the quick stops could break bones, or destroy internal organs, or more comonly the air pushing against ones chest would cause respritory arrest. The speed moving could theoretically flay both skin and muscle from the bone.
From the picture it also seems to be a subset of the homo-eroticism powers, not helped by "A common technique used in the anime Bleach where the user moves behind their target, then strikes." It won't lead to the world's best chat-up lines.
Also this entry is pretty poorly written, worryingly it didn't bother me too much - I think CL2K has made me have to adjust my benchmarks on this.
Never mind, Emps. I will protect your delicate bones and get you some girls using my omnipotence.
Does the ability to attract and then savagely beat to death internet trolls count as a super power? Because I seem to be doing awfully well on that front lately.

I guess if you were to meld a tree into someone's head, that'd be pretty offensive!
If you can meld substances into someone's flesh in such away that didn't harm their immunity you could pretty much upgrade other people and yourself.
Hmm. Good point. I've been looking at the article and it seems to imply that I could combine objects to make a new object, which would be a lot cooler than just welding stuff together.
Creating tiger-squirrels and helicopter tanks could be a pretty entertaining way to pass an afternoon. I could also meld all my enemies together to make it easier to keep tabs on them. Of course if they transformed into a fifteen-foot high jerk with super strength, that would be inconvenient.
