We may have missed the opportunity to bring back our Day Job series with She-Hulk: Attorney At Law. Nevertheless, it’s time to look at some work when it comes to superheroing, and we’re starting with lawyers. It’s not just She-Hulk and Daredevil though, comics have a number of super powered legal professionals like DC’s Manhunter and Two-Fac [...]
Supe My Ride 3: The Super Robot

~ Written by Dave Silva
This one might be a little controversial as it’s not your batmobile or invisible jet. However, there is a history of heroes jumping into giant versions of themselves in robot format. Leopardon, I’m looking at you. But let’s not forget about Earth-616’s SJ3RX, the Red Ronin, or Oracle piloting a bat themed mech to take on the forces of [...]

While other energy types are more prolific, falling across the majority of archetypes, psychic cuts a narrower path through the non-melee types. One of the things that makes the psychic interesting is that unlike other energy sets you get a real mix of options, which in the context of mastery over the mind, makes a fun kind of sense. Also, e [...]

City of Powers 5: Energy
Apr 16, 2023
~ Written by Dave Silva
One of the classic tropes of comics, this week we are tackling that undefined force of power, Energy. A catch of games and comics alike, Energy skirts definitions to exist as its own power.

This week’s powerset is shocking!
It’s Electrifying
Many of the electrical powers impact endurance. Endurance is used to measure when a hero gets tired, with more potent abilities having higher endurance costs. Of course, Metahumans Rising traded endurance and how often one can use a power for Willpower and how oft [...]
