Rebar

The running gag doesn't have to stop there.
 
Some 2-bit flunky comes along with his 15STR and a 2D6 billy club - does 10 body, smashing the glass in one blow.
 
It shows up on the news and suddenly, the two 60AP superheroes look like pikers with nerf guns. They become the laughing stock, and have to prove their mettle.
 

completely unrelated but the title made me picture a mental entangle/ego blast that traps the target in a nightmarish long-haul coach flight (screaming baby broken screen middle seat grandmother with Photo albums PLURAL!!!!!)

It's a pity Increased knockback is so expensive.
For a given max AP, you get no benefit.
 
For a given 40AP:
40 STR gives you average 8 BOD for KnB.
26 STR w/ 1.5x KnB (+1/2 = 39AP) gives you average 5D6 x1.5 = 7.5 BOD for KnB.
22 STR w/ 2x KnB (+3/4 = 40AP) gives you average 4D6+1 x2 = 8.5 BOD for KnB.
 
Thus the entire net effect is that ... you have a significantly reduced STR - and that's all.
 
Looking at it without an AP max doesn't help.
 
You've got a 40STR, which averages 8 BOD for KnB.
If you buy 2x KnB on that, it will cost you 30 points, and give you 16 BOD KnB.
Or, you could just buy +30 STR for and get 14 BOD KnB.
 
So, you're getting a whopping 2 BOD for KnB - at the price of 30STR (and all that you could do with that).
 

I just saw Incredibles 2.
 
Start with the corny punny name.
 
Build the rest of the character around that.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
This happened just last Wednesday
 
Ancient Japan campaign.
 
I’m a ninja sneaking up on an Inn, casing the joint to see if my cohorts have arrived. I carry a large bow, so to avoid trouble, I've disguised myself as a hunter, having killed some birds as I travelled and thrown them over my shoulder.
 
I listen at each window. At one back window, I hear the familiar sounds of my two teammates who are disguised as a married couple. The players say they are “doing what married couples doâ€. I tell the GM, that I listen a little longer outside that window.
 
Another ninja sneaks out of the wood. I crit fail my stealth roll and he spots me. I’m supposed to be quiet like the wind, so I’m annoyed. “I know, it was bad luck! One of the chickens wasn’t dead. It clucked.â€
 
So the GM then makes me roll to determine of *I* spotted *him*. I crit fail *again*. Strangling my dice, I try to save my dignity. “OK, I know! I didn’t hear him sneaking up on me, because I’m busy wringing the bird’s neck before it blows my cover.â€
 
The GM turns to another player (the other ninja) and asks what he does next.
 
And the player says: “Let me just understand this. I come upon him outside a bedroom, with lovemaking sounds coming from within. He's outside, with his ear to the window, choking his chicken…â€

Visual Aid. 

Absolutely. I might not always use Ctrl+C, but I definitely right click and hit "Copy" on a daily basis...perhaps even multiple times per day.
