Hey all,

I have a character who is a bit of a change on a traditional brick. He is normally 40STR with 15PD/ED and no resistant DEF. He has the ability to change mass, density, and size. He has an MP with 4lvls of Growth, DI, Shrinking, and Desolid – all ultras. He has a related MP with Flight, only when shrunk/Desolid and Armor only with Growth/DI.

I see him as a Vision/Henry Pym cross in some ways.

What are sneaky/cleaver ways he could use his powers? I have thought of get under a flyer while shrunk and growing to full Growth, getting momentum bonuses for shrinking and growth. I have thought of the Vision classic of flying high over an opponent then going full DI and dropping on them from the sky.

What other interesting tactics does this power set allow?

Get fully Shrunk, fly up to another flying character (preferably a non-brick), jump on his back, and go fully Dense.

Start small, more or less under a target. Turn off the shrinking, turn on the growth, and punch. Add the growth momentum from both powers to your damage roll. Don't count of being able to get away with more than once.

How about use shrink then activate DI and do a flying move through.

Better yet, fly up another character's nose and go full Growth.

Oh, come on, you can't say that's snot going to at least get their attention.

Fine, just hook one finger in there before you grow. Lead the poor chump around by the nose for a bit asking them who their daddy is.

How about use shrink then activate DI and do a flying move through.That'll work as a nice sneak attack, but the rules specifically disallow combining the growth momentum from shrinking with a move through.

I was suggesting using density increase with shrink not growth. Just be this tiny little thing that hits with the force of an 18 wheeler.
