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 foe uses Intimidation or other Fear based powers on the hero. As a Specialty the hero may need multiple instances, for different roles. Fear Masking would probably fit best as a Drive with a caveat similar to Discipline, or Perseverance, where any penalty applied needs to meet or exceed the value.
- Hatred Empowerment: Interestingly enough, this probably fits best as an Origin, and variation on Immortal, representing the hero being too filled with anger to die, and being the source of their abilities.
- Mud Bestowal: Reading the description I was on the fence about using this as this week’s power. However, as it’s only focus is to give others mud based powers, without any a large amount of detail, this might be better stated as adding Aid and any Advancements from this Power Boon to one’s Mud powers.
- Transformation Attacks: While the implications can be broad, this is probably too narrow a power to merit a full write up. Instead, this is a form of the Alter Boon.
Onto the main show!
Bike Mimicry allows the hero to turn themselves into a two wheeled vehicle, such as a bicycle, moped, or motorcycle. For the purposes of our article, we will focus on a motorcycle, if only as a nod to the Go-Bots, and the leader of the Renegades Cy-Kill. A Bike Mimic gains the powers of a motorcycle, for the purposes of this article, let us assume toughness, being as hard as metal, enhanced strength, as they can carry two people without any issues, and speed.
Side Note: I feel like I’ve talked about Turbo Teen in the past, and if we haven’t done a power for him, this might be a good place to start.

This represents a character with some machine-like characteristics as a baseline and the ability to become a superfast bike. Adding Ranged, and investing further into Offense can be added to represent the very common energy blasts we see with this style of transforming character. However, this is only the start of all the various tweaks and adjustments one can make as they chop up this power to fit their personal needs.
