Title: Super Powers!!!
Post by: Mad Dr Jeffe on September 23, 2005, 10:12:18 PM
Ok its a bit of fun people, time to tell me what kind of super powers youd want to have... within reason of course. Think in the Terms of the Basic X-man team. Then give yourself a cool name.

Me, I'd like to have the ability to alter gravitic forces, allowing me to fly, lift heavy items, add a lot force to a punch or slow bullets to a crawl.

Call me Singularity.

Rifter.
I create wormholes or transdimensional gateways.
of course, this makes me bullet-proof too, since I can just gate them to an alternate reality. It also makes travel a cinch. Enemy needs to be contained? I got a pocket dimension he can go to.

Didn't he say Rifter was the his chosen name.

Personally, I'm into psion super-powers. I would have a psychic power spread. Primarily focused on telepathy--able to read minds and feelings, as well as alter the minds of people by sending messages. In fact, I would be able to form hallucinations in the minds of others. My secondary ability would be to create invisible force fields that could shield myself, others, objects or areas. I could also lift things telekinetically with these force fields and even levitate myself. My final ability would be being sensitive to objects and areaas, permiting me to read past events of areas and objects. And maybe the occasional vision of the future.

As for a name, no one would know my name. I would never let it be revealed, though many rumors and speculation of who I am would abound.

Immortality. Invulnerability. Some ability that lets me teleport out of any concrete blocks or whatever that clever enemies use to get around the invulnerability.

Name is my own.

Wow Entropy, you sure have a great grasp on that 'within reason' thing.

:D.

I would have the ability to alter the atomic structure of objects, thus changing them into something else via touch.  Of course, equal and opposite rules apply, so I can't change a blade of grass into a gun, or a rock into a hamburger...

As for my name, I'll let the tabloids figure that one out.

Entropy cares not for limits and reasons.

Rifter drops Entropy into an alternate dimension and seals the rift.

Entropy lords it over the locals as a god unto maggots.

I guess everybody wins.  Except the locals; but then again, the locals never seem to win.

As a disgrunted local, I'd like to file a complaint.

what do you expect your complaint to accomplish?
Title: Re: Super Powers!!!
Post by: Entsuropi on September 24, 2005, 09:03:21 PM
/me oppresses harder in recognition of a complaint. They shouldn't be able to speak at all.

Non-grunting, of course.   ;D (Couldn't resist. The word looks funny without the L.)

That was the first thing he did when he oppressed them--took away their power to grunt.

You know, I think I'd just be the Jade Knight.

Superpowers optional.  =รพ

I'm working on developing my own superpowers and secret identity so I can stop being an oppressed grunting disgruntled local and thwart Entropy. and his evil plans.

So obviously I'm not going to reveal them here.  ;)

I need a costume. Something that shows my character and motivations...

Scarlet jacket with gold buttons sounds about right.

That was perfect Mad Dr. jeffe.

Now as for my powers I would have the dark arts of magic at my finger tips, and my name would be Lockwood

More like it! :P

In other news, can I just say that I find this (http://www.redcoat.org/) site to be kind of creepy?

Wearing that outfit exposes your weaknesses and they are legion. Like the fact that a piece of paper robs you of all your powers.

Heres a taste (http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/images/uc06330.jpg)

It was either keep america or conserve our strength for a good round of vigerous french killing 15 years later.

It wasn't much of a choice, honestly :P
Title: Re: Super Powers!!!
Post by: Spriggan on September 26, 2005, 11:05:02 AM
Ya I'd take the Vigorous French killing too.
Title: Re: Super Powers!!!
Post by: Mad Dr Jeffe on September 26, 2005, 11:59:24 AM
So they let us go to kill frenchies later, when they could have kept us and killed frenchies then. Heck we even sent away to paris to recruit frogs for you to kill. Spurious logic. I think they were just cowards who didnt have the stomach to kill their own. Course they did put Howe in charge in the US... and he was about as savvy as a turnip. Pity about Cornwallis though.
:P

Not that you couldnt argue that without the American example that the french revolution later and the rise of old Boney probably would not have happened.

Jeffe, that thing you posted was riddle with proofing errors. "Legiflation?" Honestly.

We need to clean up our government. Starting with the literature.

I blame it on our roots in English Common law.

....

Actually the f's for s's thing .... really common for everyone at the time, due to a lack of truetype fonts.

Really? You mean that wasn't spelled wrong? I had no idea.
