Okay, so super powers are pretty cool.



Like, people can do poo poo that other people can't do. It's all very impressive and, frankly, I can't get enough.



I mean, I can personally, but our culture seems to love this poo poo. So let us make up some sweet-rear end super-dudes and dudettes!

So choose a name, a power and a villian and tell us about them. If you are one of those artsy goons draw a picture.

I'll start:

So my hero is Liberty Dude! His power is shooting freedom fries from under his fingernails. I drew a picture of his arch-villain ROBO-FRENCHMAN:

My guy is Checkline! His power is to always pick the slowest moving checkout line at any store. He has no idea which lane is the fastest, but he can always pick the slowest!

Arch-Nemesis is Chatty-Bagger. Chatty is actually an A-OKay dude, but Checkline feels a bit sorry for him, wondering how many times a day he repeats the same banter over and over with each customer; but also holds him in disdain a bit because he has to suffer through the banter every time they meet at the the checkout line. Checkline feels a bit guilty though cause he knows it is his own super-power at the root of the problem, it just takes so loving long to checkout.

There's also Sunset Dan. He actually can see the "green flash" every single sunset over the ocean (weather permitting of course, wpoc). At first blush, it seems pretty useless for a power. Dan is an extraordinary person though. He's recognized his unique gift for what it is; yes, other people sometimes see the flash, but he ALWAYS sees it (wpoc). If You have seen it, you know its pretty cool. A little special glimpse of natures beauty, how fun! Dan recognizes his gift from nature, an opportunity to sincerely appreciate the deepness of its beauty, and has pursued enlightenment, sharing the lessons he learns with his fellow humans.

He mostly does this by hanging out on the beaches in southern California year-round, talking with anyone that will listen.

Arch-Nemesis: Surprisingly, its not The Man. Dan is so chill he can actually get along with and pacify The Man as needed. So many people think they are natural enemies. They are not, at all. His real nemesis isn't even mortal. It's Compu-Vibe. Compu-Vibe as we all know is a construct. At its core is always a human host, but Compu-Vibe has taken over and assumed control, sometimes spread across hundreds of hosts, sometimes concentrated in a few handful. A complete fabrication of identity; based on opinion polls, marketing research, and maximizing market penetration, the Compu-Vibe is a near perfect simulation of chill and cool, but doesn't really have a good appreciation of harmony with nature.

Has the ability to do one cool, pretty impressive jump every day. But just one. A day. Like she even tested it, and the power resets every night at midnight, time-zone dependent. It's pretty weird. She could wait all day til 11:59 pm and do a jump then, and then do another at 12:01 am two minutes later, cause it's the next day and the power reset.

The schedule so weird and precise though, she wonders if her power is from some governmental-type agency that has a stick up its butt about time tables. Other than that, she has no idea where her jump power comes from.

Its pretty cool though, and she has done a lot with it. She can't just jump 100' or anything crazy, but with a good start, she can easily clear 20' or so, no worries. She's also trained, to do awesome spin kicks and punches while flying through the air, so that is totally rad too.

She also thinks, but isn't sure yet, that laying off the power for a bit causes a bit of a build up, enabling her to jump even further than before. One time she swears she cleared 50', and she hadn't jumped for at least three days. She went to test that idea though, trying to clear 40' after not jumping for 3 days, and she ate poo poo into the side of a cliff wall. She was okay a couple of weeks later, she wore some good gear; but lol. She says she's going to work on it. Okay!

Arch-Nemesis: gravity. haha. Seriously though, she can jump like 20-25' its cool, but no one is all pissed off crazy about it. Though if she develops the big jumps into something, she's totally the type of person to do something with it, and probably piss some people off in the process, for the right reasons. So stay tuned.

Pogsman is the single greatest pog player you will ever see. It seems downright supernatural, because it is. He got one free wish from a Wizard back in the 90s and he decided on one that would make him the coolest kid in school. It did not work.

His arch-nemesis is the Wizard Who Granted That Wish, and Pogsman has spent over a decade learning the truth about real magic and training to kill those who use it to perform such cruel tricks on mortals. It's not really a fair match-up. The Wizard is actually the well-meaning, comically befuddled sort, so he is almost completely helpless against Pogsman's extensive anti-magic wards and rune-carved bullets. He's on the run, trying to escape the madman who has killed his way through so many of his friends and colleagues, but Pogsman is relentless.

Greatbow is the greatest archer in the world. If he had to, he could shoot down a bird in flight from the other side of a football field. If the arrow can fly that far, he'll hit his target dead on, first time, every time, whether it's moving or not.

But he has absolutely no idea, and his bow skills don't translate to anything else. He has never really tested his skill with a bow. Why would he? He did shoot a bow at a Ren Faire once, and he got a bullseye, but he really didn't think much of it at the time, or since. I mean, who even cares about bows these days???? Not that it's useless, he could totally be a competition shooter or maybe a trick archer if he knew, but he just really doesn't. He never even considered.

One of the things I've always liked to do is teleport. But I also like sucking dicks.

So, Cumoport! I can teleport instantly, anywhere, no restrictions. But I can only teleport to a place where a guy is orgasming. I simply concentrate. I dig deep, think real hard, meditate on where I want to be. And of course it's in front of a dick that's spurting. And there I am.

Probably a good superpower for infiltrating various secret government facilities staffed by nerds, where there are other teleport blockers in place (these people play Dungeons and Dragons, I think they're pretty aware on how important it is to stop teleporting vigilantes, but would never think of a bi-teleporter posessing one of their guys). Oh yeah I can possess the people I suck off but only if the plot demands it.
