We had a throwaway game where I had everyone fight Godzilla. One of the players decided a great tactic would be to fly up into his face and blast him between the eyes. Well, Godzilla responded with Atomic Breath and... the character died immediately. I still don't know what that guy was thinking.
If you are organized, it can actually be very rewarding as an added wrinkle in your plot once in a while. I hate gamer "traditions" that defy good story-telling and constrict character concept.
Re: Green Lantern Powers
No, but they should consider buying summoning for some of Hal Jordan's effects (he says as he spits into the wind.)
Ah, futility.
Yeah, that's good. I don't know if this is that embarrassing but it sure was mind-numbingly stupid AND it made me uncomfortable as gm. I was running a game at a con using Marvel Superheroes long ago (I hadn't discovered Champions) and one of the players (Superskrull knows him as... Wes) had his groin placed in a telekinetic vise. His solution: (He had crystal transformation powers) "I will turn my crotch into crystal." Well, he made his yellow feat roll to change his crotch into ?crystal? and then I told him to make a red Con feat roll to stay conscious as his private parts shattered into millions of fragments. Man! that was wierd.
Yeah, mixing of archetypes, even in the superhero genre, has to be done with some care. Just because there are no rules to it doesn't mean there is no "Art" to it.
Let's see if we can come up with 1,000 names for spells to be used by superheroes, you know, like Dr. Strange uses. I'll start with one I already brought up:
1. Cerulean (it means blue) Swords of Sarmanthyr
