Superhero name: Pheonix

Power: Energetic Reanimation - Exponential

Basically, most of the time I have no actual powers beyond peak human physical condition. However, upon receiving a fatal/grievous wound within a few minutes my body becomes infused with energy and regenerates back to peak physical condition. For a short periods of time after being reanimated, my physical abilities are supercharged as I 'work off' the excess life energy, or I can dump it out all at once in the form of a hard to control energy blast, or to bestow a healing effect on someone I can touch.

This makes me the one best suited to being thrown into dangerous situations instead of others, but I don't actually have superpowers until the shit has already severely hit the fan.

If I die while already in supercharged mode from a previous reanimation, things get dangerous. Every time I die in succession, the more energy I come back with. This isn't as good as it sounds, but after 2 deaths in a row I can only barely control it and after that it just gets worse, becoming a hazard to myself and others. Presumably, if I die too often in a short period of time I will just melt into energy entirely, take out a whole city with me, and never reform.

The good news is that my superpower lets me perform types of training that are outright suicidal. Even before my first death, when I still have only peak human physical ability, I have the advantage of having used my power to train against things that would kill me in a single hit often enough that I can get really, really good at avoiding that hit in the first place.

Think of it like having played a video game so much that you know the boss your are fighting well enough that you can perform no-hit runs. Maybe not all the time, but fairly reliably.

So my general combat tree goes:

> Try not to die
> probably die
> come back stronger, pick one of the following: fight at an enhanced level, heal an ally, or try and blast them

Nah, he still suffers from all the same downsides of regeneration type heroes. Even worse, in most cases, unless your ONLY goal is to kill him.

If your goal is to stop him, all you need to do is trap him somehow. Locking him behind a solidly build door will do it, because he doesn't have superstrength. Finding a way to immobilize him takes him out of the fight without giving him a powerup, and he is presumably still as vulnerable as anyone to psychic attacks and shit like being turned to stone.

Hell, if all you are trying to do is commit some crime, there isn't any reason to just shoot him. It takes a few minutes for his reanimation to go off, so you can just pump him full of lead, take the money, and leave. By the time he wakes up, he won't know where you are and you can make your getaway.

He also has the downside of being a timebomb if forced to fight anything way more powerful than him. If you put this guy in a room with Darkseid, Darkseid will just keep killing him until he blows himself up.

I wouldn't mind being a prophet of Kotal Kahn, honestly. Sunrays heal you, you can make a blood sacrifice to hit harder, and you'll probably be fine as long as you don't try drinking someone else's blood.
>>
Of course none of you want downsides or debuffs. You all pick the overpowered stuff to make you untouchable because obviously if you can just 'choose your power' you'd have to be retarded to have anything less than the best.

This is why comic characters don't get to choose powers (unless they make themselves i.e. ironman/batman). Heck, they don't usually have a choice in receiving them.
Villans are usually the overpowered ones, which from a storytelling standpoint is usually something for the hero to overcome.

Honestly, I'd want to have the power to debuff others powers. Neutralize the foe, and take them down in a street brawl. Maybe gain a small strength buff per person i weaken. I'd be ineffective against tech users (unless they use powers to control machines).
And let's add in the ultimate power to remove another persons power permanently (Amon style).


I'd be more interested in what kind of themed hero you guys could come up with.

The ability to enhance the powers of a team mate to go beyond what they could normally do.

If I have a team mate that can control air, I could let them go full air elemental. Some one with shape shifting could have size changing on top of it. An alchemist could bypass the law of equivalent exchange!

It would actually be pretty cool for a hero to have the one-punch ability without any of the other super feats.
So, a normal guy with a hand of death. Since he's a hero he'd probably be pretty fit but nothing incredible.
He's fights would essentially be him trying to get into punch-range without getting killed.

3. The ability to make anyone or anything I touch completely dissolve into nothingness if I want with no way to to reverse it, that leaves nothing traceable to me or that they disappeared.


The first two would be the powers I'd use around everyone. The third power would only be used in conjunction with the second to make people think I have an ability to make things explode with my mind, and in secret when I execute individuals or criminals who I think should just be killed or who get away.

Naturally of course, this type of power set will probably end up with me outing myself and I'll get the "YOU DON'T GET TO DECIDE THINGS LIKE THIS" and I'll be labeled a criminal but that's part of the fun. Also my ability would prevent me from ever being held in any sort of prison because any types of restraints or walls I can just dissolve. They'd be forced to keep me completely drugged up/comatose and then they'd be pretty much killing me themselves in all but the action of doing so, so I'd get a moral victory over them.

I recall reading something by that name years ago. Is that the one where they band together heroes and villains to fight against the three unkillable Kaiju that pop up randomly across the world? After looking it up I remember Japan got leveled by this macro hydrokinectic one and lost like 80% of it's landmass and became a super nationalist dictatorship and a third world country, basically North Korea 2.0
Was it ever finished? If so I might just go back to reading it.

Hunter x Hunter is a fucking masterpiece in doing this. And it's really great how in-universe, the more rules your power has, the stronger it is. I still really like how versatile Hisoka's powers are with his glue and texture change powers.

That would be the Leviathan, pic-related,
>macro scale hydrokinesis, bringing in waves and rain
>when attacking a city, he can lift up or sink a chunck of the city by controlling the running water from the plumbing system
>city effectively gets billions in damage and sewer everywhere, spreading desease if the city survives the onslaught.
>If this wasn't enough, Leviathan can eventually reach the water tables of a region if he spends enough time in it and just bring in even more water for him to control
>If all this wasn't already enough, his skin produces water with every movement he does creating a water echo/clone that imitates his momentum, so he can hit people from far away in a maelstrom
level of power equal to hitting a brick wall at full speed.
If you stopped in the Endbringer Invasion arc you are missing the fuck out on some shit. The other two endbringers are even worse with Behemoth having control over all forms of energy and Simurgh having perfect clairvoyance and city-scale telephaty and telekinesis. Leviathan sinks, Behemoth leaves a nuclear/magma wasteland and the Simurgh makes cities to be walled off or bubbled, since minutes of contact with the people in there makes them potential terrorist/psychopaths that you never know when will snap from seeded thoughts.

I tried to read Worm, but it's really poorly written and the execution is just ass. I assume it gets better as it goes?

I'm not THAT much of a reader, so I have to admit I don't have a big basis on what the public would refer to being "well written books" that haven't already been read by the majority. I'm a simple guy with simple tastes and I like my Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and Tolkien.
Maybe I had too much of an easy time relating to some characters with the whole premise of the novel being "doing the right thing through the wrong means". I can understand the character not wanting to report a problem because it lets her stay out of the spotlight. I can understand people angry at the system and I can understand the way the author deals with people's feelings like a father's conflict with his lack of courage to talk about his daughter's problems with her.
I had to allow some characters to grow on me and I have to say that it just worked. You get steady input as the story goes on the mysteries surrounding it like how powers work and where they come from, secondary character's motivations etc; and the author managed to make the stakes always higher to a level that always surprises me over and over.
So yeah, in my opinion it gets better, if not in the way its written, in its setting. But that's because I became a fan of it and I like creative powers like Tattletale's or Accord's. But you should always draw your own conclusions.

You all have shitty taste in Jojo villain powers.

I'd pick D4C, becoming a wanderer across multiverses. It'd be easy to get D4C to go running off on various multiversal errands, like, say, getting D4C to go find a universe with an arrow, and someone from another universe with healer powers.

Then, you can just use the arrow, give your friends nice Stando Powahs, and dick around with your newly made crew of metahumans.

Oh, I'm just saying it reads like an adolescent's fanfic from 10 years ago and it seems mostly concerned with painting a nauseating atmosphere with the typical gross accommodations and pranks involved with the average public school than setting up a superhero world.

We have similar tastes in books and what you're saying it does is exciting, I'll give it another shot.

energy absorption and manipulation powers derived from a mutant gene. I could absorb solar/electricity/ or even cosmic energy if I'm a marvel character. Can use it to power myself up, fly, throw beams of energy. I am a super Saiyan. My ideal power. Something like Vulcan.

I've always liked the idea of having Ebon's powers from Statick shock you get the works

Pseudo-invulnerability
Sort of intangibility (shadow slithering through porous surfaces)
Shapeshifting
Ability to teleport yourself and others

That or poorly explained information powers guy that sits in the base giving support to the team

Oh the whole school thing in the very first two chapters? That gets thrown out the window pretty quickly as shit goes down. It comes back later as merely a way to show how much the main characters perspective has changed on whats really worth her time in a problem. It turns out to be an actual liberating scene where thegirl who bullied her insistis on trying to get on her nerve but the MC has so much shit going on already that she just basically spits a "fuck off" and walks away. It becomes a subplot real quick without it affecting her personality and behavior though. I can see where it bothers you, and I can see where some chapters might bother you again with their focus being on stupid kids and teenagers, because, well, they exist, except in this setting they might have powers.
I'd say that the first Interlude in arc 1 (essentially chapter 6) is the first effort to set in the world as a world with super powers and it's a damn good one.
If you want to have a quick read at one good interlude you can check out this one that doesn't have a focus on any character in specific that you should know about at the time yo ureach this chapter.
https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/29/interlude-16-donation-bonus/
Its just a mission for a squad of the Parahuman Response Team sent to investigate a city that became deserted as soon as a man with superpowers appeared amidst its population.

There are better Interludes, like "The Most Powerful Man in the World" which is about a homeless dude with depression, but this is the only one I remember that doesn't need input to understand.

Teleportation and/or healing. Both would be great.

At least you can still majorly affect your own body and that of other people.
Fuck it you an make someone feel tired and depressed to the point that they will just drop to the ground and want to kill themselves. You can invert a person's concentrarion of testosterone and estrogen and fuck his sexual identity real good.
>>
Healing. Healing would be pretty baller. And clean healing, none of that "you feel the healing process" gore shit. Bam, you're better.

Secondary, teleportation.

If I can pick a third one, being able to make unbreakable forcefields would be perfect.

make a get game out of this concept. post your random powers in a thread, and the first 5 dubs are the chosen superhero team.
so for example, our 5 person hero team here is
>>84391100 Life force/Soul/Ability drain
>>84391177 Invincibility
>>84393133 Long Range Possession
>>84393700 (whatever)
>>84393866 Elasticity
then discuss how well that team would actually function

Giant, invincible, glowing, yellow, bear-shaped aura powered by righteous anger and fury.

Or just Hulk powers.

Or just indestructible bubbles. Oh no a mugging. Bubble the innocent, myself, bubble the gun, bubble the bad guy, float him down to the police station. If I ever turn to the dark side I can just remove all the air from the bubble. Or float the badguy into space. Toss him in the ocean and make the bubble super dense so it just sinks. Would be pretty neat. Sort of lazy green lantern.

Oh also I always wanted the ability to make my drawings come to life.

Id rather be a sideline hero with the ability to increase other heroes powers like that one guy from HEROES. It would be limited by being time based maybe only last a couple of minutes.

>>84390554
Kinda specific, but I'd want generic flying brick powers... with the addition that I can generate a kind of healing light at the cost of temporarily lowering my overall strength/speed/resilience.

If that counts as too many powers, then biological manipulation is fine too.

TIME

STOP

But only for 30 minutes a day.
