Isn't there rules in the Beastiary for building "Swarms'? If so, thats how I'd go.

Reasoning from effect. What's the purpose of a piranha tank boys and girls? That's right, to kill someone slowy and horribly. Yes, you could buy the school of piranha as a Follower, but for purposes of a death trap this is what I consider the best approach. Ask Susano about the wasp swarm RKA he wrote up for a character from Ninja Scroll a while back.

But if you used it on Aquaman he could stop a swarm of piranha but the construt listed above he wouldn't be able to defend himself.

Then just count his Aquatic Telepathy and/or similar powers as an addition stop condition for the Uncontrolled advantage if you wish.

Repped.

Likewise. Looking forward to your next entry in this catagory.

Maybe they are mutant piranha that fall under the "Alien" mind catagory O_o

Or you could do that.

Yeah. Just change it to Uncontrolled (well, they're a bunch of fish) (+1/2) and let the GM go wild.

 

(Well, giant mutated fish with steel razor blade teeth and lasers coming out of their heads anyway.)

If those tiny little teeth are Armor Piercing I assume there has been some steel razor blade dentistry at some point in the process.

There is more than one way to skin a PC.

Which accounts for how they became ill-tempered.
