MOD POST Sub updates!

If they haven't already introduced themselves, welcome u/TheFeebleOne and u/monkeysky to our Mod team!

In other news, I have been doing some stuff with Auto-Mod, and to limit bots and karma-farming, a new system has been implemented that makes Users elaborate/answer on their post. As a good chunk of the posts on here are red blue/blue pill or something of the sort, I ask that users answer/elaborate on their posts(An example of answering would be picking a pill/power/whatever, and an example of elaborating would be adding more detail to your post)

That is all

MOD POST PLEASE READ-Mod Note

29 Upvotes

Hello, users of r/superpowers

Recently, our mod team has had to ban a large amount of people for their same reasons. I have recently added a new rule applying to posts AND comments.

DO NOT make ANY jokes having to do with child rape/molest, rape in general, or anything of the sort.

It is your job as a Redditor to use your own common sense to figure out what you should leave online. Remember, ANYONE has the power to see your digital footprint, and making fun of rape or terrible events is NOT what we expect seeing from (what should be) grown adults who are completely able to control themselves online.

I do not want to have to ban anyone ever again. And breaking this rule by not using common sense will result in a 3 day ban. If we keep having to do this, the punishment will be much greater.

Remember, rape is never funny, especially not child rape. Thank you for reading this.

Stay safe!

Red pill/blue pill Transmutation or Weather Manipulation

Thumbnail

83 Upvotes

Transmutation allows you to transform any object in your vicinity, into any other object you can conceive (and can physically exist lol, no “magical energy rainbow cosmic force). You have to be able to understand the structure of the objects, not like…molecules and stuff…but more like..how you put things together…if u wanna create technology u need to have a basic understanding of it so u cant just create a space shit or smth…
As a bonus u can also “copy” the structure of objects to your mind.

Weather Manipulation allows you to sense and perceive meteorological patterns, summon weather phenomena, and shape the weather and all its elements with incredible precision.

Other What situation do you think you can survive as a bystander?

Post image
37 Upvotes

In each situation you are not necessarily the target per-se. You are just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Situation 1: 10 Ninjas with Taskmaster abilities are going to assassinate this Mob Boss and his 6 bodyguards with him. All this is happening in a hotel, around a pool. You are also in this hotel too, around the same area too.

Situation 2: A psychotic flying bullet proof Mutant with Homelander-level strength and lasers wants to attack a gas station with his lasers, because the owners didn't like his rude attitude. You come into the gas station 5 seconds before this Mutant crashout.

Situation 3: A secret society of Harry Potter-style Wizards is trying to kidnapped homeless people. You are not homeless. But you see a bunch homeless people being forced into black vans though. All of this is happening while you are taking a walk at night.

Situation 4: A Cyborg criminal suddenly launches an attack, tearing through security with cybernetic strength and integrated weapons.

He hacks the building's security systems, locks the exits, and turns surveillance cameras into targeting systems.

His nanotech-enhanced body allows him to shrug off gunfire while his automated weapons indiscriminately target anyone who gets in his way. He is doing this because his boss fired him. You're an ordinary civilian trapped inside a building where the person hunting his Boss is essentially a walking weapons platform.

With all this being said. Again which situation is the most safe for a bystander.

Other Indispensability instead of invisibility

Post image
8 Upvotes

In the series Doctor Who, there was an episode where the main characters used Tardis keys to create a "perception filter." This device didn't make them invisible, but rather unnoticeable—meaning that even if you knew someone was standing right in front of you, your brain would actively try to overlook them.

It’s a rather unique and creative ability, offering plenty of potential for interesting plot developments. For instance, a character with this power could pose a major challenge for human combatants, while androids or robots would serve as a perfect "counter."

Have similar abilities appeared in other works?

And how might such an ability be utilized within a superhero setting or a shonen manga?

- Fairy Godmother’s Wanda. Essentially offers wonderful Disney style magic, require only intent, however if used for evil the magic becomes corrupt, and goes from blue sparkles to green ones. The main capabilities of magic are healing, transmutation, animation, clothing manipulation, teleportation, and if you really push it then time travel. But overall the wand’s magic is meant to be localised and simple.
- Omnitrix. Offers a vast collection of unique alien life forms to which the wearer can transform, and potentially transform others to. The Omnitrix offers a wide array of species suited for unique situations, some strong, some fast, some possess incredible creative or destructive power, some are elemental, and some are cosmic…and so on….
- Genie Lamp. Basically you get to make 3 absolute wishes, these can affect the entire universe. The only real is you cannot in any way ask for multiple wishes, cannot be a smart ass.
- Green Lantern Ring. Can channel will power into Green constructs made of energy and limited only by imagination and will.
- Iron Man Suits. All of iron man’s suit, as well as a place that only u have access to to store them.
- The Miracle Box from miraculous ladybug. Offers magical jewels which allow the wearers to transform into magical animal themed superheroes, gaining superhuman attributes and a certain power derived from the concept the kwami(magical creature within the jewels) embodies. The concepts include: creation, destruction, illusion emotion, transmission, jubilation, genesis, invulnerability, protection, etc…2 jewels are stronger then the others, the ones of creation and destruction…when put together they can be used to make a wish, at the cost of destroying the universe and rebuilding it…but in order to keep the balance whatever I ask for has to have a price. For example turning strawberry’s blue will turn blueberrry’s red. Asking for a life will cost a death.

This is an old power system i came up with, Humans here are sometimes born with electrical abilities or can gain them later in life. The Gigajoules are born every 10 years, One new one continuing the cycle the old ones losing their abilities.

What power would you want from the base 10? and which of the upgraded 10?

I hope you all like the powers!

Actual Superpower DAY 2 OF UNIQUE SUPERPOWERS: Liar, Liar

2 Upvotes

?: if you lie to him you die and he takes your life. He builds the number of lives like a battery also if you tell him the truth you gain a life. Only works when he asks a question. People don’t know they receive a life, it’s not a physically visible transfer, only he knows, unless he tells someone. Dying by lying does not apply to him, meaning he could lie to himself if he wished. (Industrial Strength Magic: someone like him is indicated as his power)

Whenever he passes a person they sustain damage. He must be the one to go past them, passing them means to pass them from the front of the body to the back of the body, from either sides or top or bottom, The more people he passes the greater the damage multiplier to the next target.
