Powering Through 7: Hypnotic Combat
Dream a little dream with me this week as we dive into Hypnotic Combat. Really happy that the random button gave us this power. Let’s have some fun mixing hypnotism with martial prowess. But first, it’s time for the …

Powering Through 6: Sound Symbiosis
This week we’re looking at the power of sound, but before we start, we begin with the powers that didn’t make the cut, AKA the ♪♫ Reject Rundown! ♫♪
Drumming Mastery: Because there is no ability beyond playing well, we can start with Art: Music, and a Specialty for Drumming. What may be an important call out here is that, Talents a [...]
Powering Through 5: Mythical Bestiary
As always we begin with the ♪♫ Reject Rundown! ♫♪ <Air-Horn Sounds here.>
Technorganic Symbiosis: This is fun power, and would be a great example, except, it’s already an example. Take a look at Tecnica in the Metahumans Rising core book (Pg. 185.) There are a few differences in the narrative, but the results are extremely similar. [...]
Powering Through 4: Bike Mimicry
We begin with the rundown of random rejects!
Trophy Attacks: As described, this would be a narrower version of an Improvised Weapons Specialty. Played for comedy, one might want a Serendipity Specialty for finding Trophies, along with the aforementioned variant on Improvised Weapons. Fear Masking: Fear Masking would apply whenever a [...]
Powering Through 3: Demon Inheritance
We start off once again with our overlooked powers round up:
Therianthropology Mastery: A Shape Shifters Specialty in Occult and Tracking will cover most things listed in the Superpower Wiki. From here, adding a (S) Shape Shifters Supports Defense should get you the rest of the way based on the description provided. Primordial Light [...]
Powering Through 2: Coral Constructs
For fun, let’s start off by going through a few random powers that we skipped and why:
Personal Potential: This can be represented through taking Specialties such as: Beaten Not Broken: Applies when reaching 0 Stamina. Focused: Spend 1 Turn “powering up” with no other actions. (This might be the closest to the source image.) Prevail [...]
Powering Through 1: Supernatural Flui...
This month, I’m taking a vacation, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still have some fun content and updates along the way. In this series, we’ll be creating powers inspired by random entries on the Superpower Wiki.
Ground Rules:
Powers are built, ready to play, which may include expanding on, but not reducing the functionality of [...]
Power Tricks: Control
In the various Power Boons, Control may be the most flexible option, or tied alongside Alter. Control allows a hero to manipulate a chosen thing, forcing it to act based on how it aligns with their own intentions, assuming it has intentions. Control also has a lot of implied functions that, if the Power doesn’t include them by default, may e [...]
Power Tricks: Devastating … Stopper
Alright, so maybe Devastating itself isn’t all that interesting. It’s a direct Damage boost, no strings attached. However, inside the Boon, there is one very fun Advancement that deserves exploring: ______ Stopper.
As written, ______ Stopper gives Penetrating on any attacks where the target’s Armor meets a specific criteria, such as [...]
