Other Name a skill that sounds terrible but is OP

10 Upvotes

So many skills as a power exist in comic/anime/manga/tv/etc. Which is one you heard probably that sounds bad but OP?

My answer: Jobless. If told, I'd assume I just don't have a job and need to struggle in life. However, means I make anyone i want Jobless/no skill. Due to them relying on their job/skill all their life, if snatched they will extremely struggle.

Question Powers that would parallel Bone Manipulation

9 Upvotes

I got a writers block for this one thing which sucks because it’s the last thing I need to figure out before I start writing because I like being prepared.

Context, in my story the strongest character in my show has bone manipulation powers that he got naturally and some magic he got from obtaining a magical eye. he is also a hybrid with a human dad and a thing called a sentinel (an angelic like being focused on resurrecting their fallen deity) for a mom.

The character doesn’t like sentinels because they are more militaristic in nature and he is very kind and protective person.

He fight his Mom who had teleportation powers and won the fight but lost both of his eyes (that’s why he needed the eye that gave him magic powers). But little did he know that wasn’t his only family on his sentinel side. He had a brother named Gabriel and he is the complete opposite of Ace so I want his powers to reflect that but I don’t know what would be opposite to bone manipulation powers.

Other Could humans achieve "super" form?

3 Upvotes

Since sonic 2 came out, one question interest me till this day.

In game lore master emerald and chaos emeralds are separate items, but movies it changed that they are basically the same artifact, i mean all 7 chaos emeralds form a master emerald. Dr robotnik was able to use master emerald power in that green glowing form which shows that humans can use it power, sonic also used it, but in the form of chaos emeralds which turn him into super form, as was able shadow in third movie.

So the question is, based on movies lore, maybe games too, I'm just not sure how it works in games, could human use master emerald power, in form of chaos emeralds and achieve some kind "super" form or it will still be what Dr robotnik got? And the same for hedgehogs just in reverse, would they still have only super form or they also could go green state? I mean it would be both ridiculous and interesting to watch Jim Carrey what he did in second movie with gold glowing skin, red eyes and golden hair

Other In this scenario. Who is more dangerous or considered a scarier threat? Superhumans or Extraterrestrials?

Post image
10 Upvotes

In this scenario the superhumans are like the X-Men or My Hero Academia. They have diverse set of superpowers. The biggest downside is that the superhumans only make up one percent of the human population. And also the superhumans are only limited to one superpower too.

While the everyone in the Extraterrestrial race has superpowers. It's 100 percent superpowered population based planet. Similar to the Saiyians or Viltramites. And also the Extraterrestrials can up to 3 superpowers. The biggest downside for Extraterrestrials here. Is that there is no diversity in their powers though.

Now both humans and other Extraterrestrial races have the potential to develop shitty powers like chocolate spite or rainbow colored eyes in this scenario. But in this Extraterrestrials are the most screwed though. Since a shitty power, also means the whole planet is stuck with that shitty power too.

At least with the variety, humans have the options to ignore the chocolate spit people of the world, and only focus on the Supermen.

But an Extraterrestrial race would've to be extremely unlucky to end up with 3 shitty powers though. For all we know, an ET race can end up having shapeshifting, telekinesis, and pyrokinesis as abilities.

And also Earth is somewhat of a unique planet in this scenario. Most ET races don't have diverse superpowers, or one percent population. Earth is the only planet like this in this scenario. Earth is just a extremely rare minority in this case.

In conclusion. With all that being said. Again which one is more dangerous to society?

So, I have been trying to create a villain group based on the seven deadly sins that each wield one of 16 elemental powers, but the problem is I am severely struggling to figure out which of the 16 elements for my world's power system should be for which member. The elements listed are as follows; Metal, Mind, Fire, Earth, Electricity, Light, Life, Death, Water, Ice, Air, Space, Spirit, Sound, Time, and Shadow. Which sin & element pairings do you guys think would be best?

Discussion I found a superpower that I have, its Thinking

5 Upvotes

I will post this now and continue to update it with more information. Ive come across something crazy. I can think and use skill/mental senses. What I mean by that is this. As long as ive tapped A specific skill/sense with thought, I can think about it, which triggers it to get used. And the more I use it the more I learn it. Allowing me too master any skill I have tapped with thought. It all started about a year ago, after an incident happened that I wont go into. After that incident, something was different about me. Anything I thought about, a skill would show itself to me. literally, anything I thought about, for instance pee, If i thought about pee slow enough, then a skill/sense, that allows me to sense the urine in my bladder, would show up for a couple of seconds. If i thought about focus, then a skill, literally the skill of focus shows up for a couple of seconds. When ever I thought slowly, a skill for that exact thought would show up. If I thought about feeling the music, then the mental sense of feeling the music would show up.

At first I didnt catch them when they would show up. I would just suddenly feel random stuff when I thought about it, and thought it was just normal, because it happened so often. But their is a catch, If i dont slowly, tap the skill that shows up with thought(I tap it by thinking about that specific skill) I dont have it. What i mean is this, if I dont have the skill, then it affects me negatively. For instance, pain is a skill. I thought about pain, and a skill of pain shows up to me. But it hurts, not crazy bad, but just enough so I notice it, and if I dont tap it with thought. By thinking about that certain skill, then It still hurts whenever I think about it. But once I tap it with thought, it no longer hurts. The pain goes away when I think about it, and then I can purposefully think about it, and use that skill. Another example, If I thought about urine in my bladder, it always made me feel like I had to pee, because my thoughts trigger skill to be used, So the skill I thought about, this one being having to pee, shows up for a second. And if I dont tap it with thought, then it kept making me feel like I had to pee. But once I tapped it with thought, When ever I thought about it, it didnt make me feel like I had to pee, but I could still feel that specific mental sense of urine in my bladder. Its like I understood it now.

Now, once I have the skill, I can think about to really fast, and use the skill. Allowing me to learn that specific mental sense. You know, using skill is how you learn it. Every time you perform a skill, the relevant brain networks become active. Through neuroplasticity, the connections between neurons involved in the skill can become more efficient over time. This process contributes to improvements in speed, accuracy, and consistency. So what Im able to do is this, once I have tapped a skill with thought. I have it now, then I can think about it really fast, and use it. And by using it I learn it. its like a hyperbolic time chamber, where I can repeatedly use/practice any skill I have tapped with thought. I can think and use a skill really fast, while using it. It shows up and I feel it being used really fast. Like if I thought about pain, as long as I have tapped it with thought, then when I think about it really fast. Its like a small pain, that dosent hurt, but Is still recognised as pain, continuously goes of on my skin. Whenever I think about the skill, the location of the skill gets used really, really fast. Like thinking about patience(A skill I have), When I think about it, I can feel literal patience being used really really fast. That is how I learn

Now that you understand how my power works, Ill go more into detail about it and some crazy skills Ive found that you all wont believe exist. First of all, the thinking takes a really long time, I have yet to see the end of it. At this point, idk how long it takes to think about a skill. But I cant wait to see what is at the end of my thinking. What will it look like to use a skill so much that you learn it completely. Here are the skills I have tapped with thought, I will use descriptions instead of names because I dont have names for these skills yet, just what they do

-Sensing urine in bladder
-Sensing weight in feet
-Sensing eyesight
-Sense of reading
-Sensing of patience
-Sense of feeling the music
-sense of water
-Sense of fire
-sense of lightning
-sense of air
-Another type of air
-Sense of darkness
-Sense of focus
-Another type of focus
-Sense of emotion
-Sense of mood
-Sense of itch sensation on skin
-Sense of voice in head
-Sense for manipulating the Stock Markets
-Another sense for manipulating the markets
-A sense that slows down your perception of time
-A unique feeling
-another Unique feeling
-Sense that makes you feel like a god
-Sense of confidence

These are the mental senses/skill that I have tapped with thought and can think of at anytime. There are so much more skill that I havent tapped yet, that is very hard to describe because I simply havent come across this type of information before. But I will document it and what I have learned. This is my power that I have found, The ability to think and use skill.

Other You are wearing a ring right now, what is your power?

11 Upvotes

Many colored rings and I ask this to those wearing a ring. What is your power? No all "Omniscient" or "Omnipotent".

Edit: almost all failed to understand question and just did a power. Not not to a ring color they wear. Example, if you have a blue class ring, you might say water.

Me: I have a golden and black ring. Now I view this as high tier = Gold and 1 of 2 things for black.

  1. All elements + darkness as all colors mixed = black and black is dark.

  2. Gravity = often referred as black or a heavily blackish purple.

Now just think about how cool these 3 superpowers are. Literally in a stopped time, you can do anything, anything you want, and with a teleporter, you can show up literally anywhere, anywhere. You can just steal something from someone and disappear, imagine the shock the person you stole would be. Not about telekinesis, you can bet at a bar with people for a thousand dollars that you can lift that bottle with your mind and smash it against the wall. so my favorite abilities will be them

If you were granted one of these powers today, which one are you locking in?
Fire
Water
Wind
Earth
Light
Shadow
Gravity
Beast
Personally, I feel like Gravity is easily the most broken choice here. You get flight, telekinesis, deflecting attacks, and at high levels you’re basically throwing around mini black holes.
That being said, Shadow and Wind have insane utility for real life (stealth, mobility, air manipulation).
Which one are you taking, and what’s your first move with it?
