Why are snakes measured in meters?

Don't forget, the gold standard for intelligence on Earth is humans.

I went in for surgery a while back. The anaesthesiologist said there were two options. First, he could put me under using traditional, if outdated, anaesthesia. Second, he could just hit me over the head with a canoe paddle. It was an ether/oar scenario. 

The only reason this has never happened to me is that I don't drink coffee. The rest of it, though? Spot on.

Toys-R-Us To Attempt Brick & Mortar Comeback Again
 

Lego Releases Anti-Lego Slippers

My newest brilliant idea: Calling in healthy to work.
 
"Yeah, boss, I'm not going to be in today. I'm feeling fantastic today, and I don't feel like throwing the day away by spending it with you yahoos."

Has this happened to you as a player-hero?  Could your character punch over a hundred people in the mouth?  Or could you find a better way to handle the matter?

Actually, it's a short read.  The first 2 paragraphs:
 
 
I mean, they try SO HARD to suppress voting rights, then this stupid singer-chick disrupts their plans???  HOW DARE SHE?  DOES SHE KNOW WHO WE ARE??????

She’s allegedly dating Travis Kelce and is encouraging people to register to vote in high population areas. They’ll fixate on less.
 
 Oh and she’s an outspoken ally of LGBTQ groups and has been moving away from her historically apolitical positions to support progressive policies more openly. I figure they thought she was apolitical because she was secretly endorsing GOP positions, and there’s a sense of betrayal. 
 
People really really care what popular performers think about public policy and politics these days, so they’ve apparently tagged her as an adversary. 

Humm...
 
None of my heros have anything to calm down a crowd.
 
John Roberts (the man who was the teen superhero Sunburn): Will try to use his media skills as SSN reporter and infamous exsuperhero to calm the crowd. And if that fails, help coordinate the heroes. 
 
Elenjar (Tenchi Morosoto): His main focus is to protect his DNPC (she made a wish on the Goddess Help Line for someone cool like Elenjar to protect her forever, and the Ultimate Force WILL enforce the wish, no matter what). Once she is safe (and kept safe), he tries to call his mother Beldandy and his aunties to help calm the mob down.
 
Note: Elenjar is still just a concept, considering his origin as Beldandy's son and how bleeping powerful he should be but probably can't be just yet...

Yea, but Continuous's teeth grew back in a matter of seconds. 😁

Eel aka Fish Guy is a brick, not much in range or land movement (Good leaper though) so he might have some trouble. That said, he could do a ground stomp (A gentle one) and knock a small group of them on their asses. A smarter move might be to lock a few doors and guard the remaining exit. It would take a long while but getting past him would not be easy. Still, I'd be surprised if he even caught a third of them. He would definitely give a 'what the hell is wrong with you, people' speech while sending for back up. Top priority would be to make sure no innocents got stampeded.
 
Pogo- isn't as experienced as some, but if she kept her head and found her groove? She'd bounce around like a fricking pinball and clobber one squad of thieves after the other, chattering the whole time. She'd have a much better capture score than Eel. She might also knock down a lot of merchandise from shelves... but "crime stopped, you're weeelcome!"
 
Aspirant- A telepath, Aspirant would realize he couldn't tag that many minds but then he wouldn't need to. Read thoughts, takes names, plans, and addresses, and either inform the police, or, if he feels particularly cruel, go talk to each individual's mother later that evening.
 
Lady Obsidian - Matriarch of the team with force projecting power armor has this easily. Force domes, entangles for individuals or groups? And yes, if need be blocking the doors. They would not have a chance. And then they'd get that disappointed church lady lecture that would just.. just crush them!
 
Trailblazer - Another speedster (a runner) with fire blazing abilities... she has some anxieties and might be worried she'll mess up and hurt someone. So, it all depends if she makes her ego check so to speak. If she makes it? She hits her playlist for crowd control to find her center (Most likely the song "Riot" by the Dead Kennedy's. It's SUPER Old but Pinprick suggested it and she found she liked it). Speedsters are good at  crowd control, Area of Effect blasting speedsters? I estimate she would get 80 % of them. Now if she failed that Ego roll? She gets maybe 30% herself, and a few of them have some really bad burns and will need medical attention. She's working on it!
 
Pinprick - He would have a blast. He can be a jerk sometimes, and he would go for not just take downs, but humiliating take downs. The diminutive magic archer would shrink folks so they felt the store was a giant maze. He'd target belt buckles for a ranged take away and leave them with pants around their ankles.  You want to leave? Too late, doors are already locked thanks to arrows wedged just right. Oh a few might make it out, sure, but the would be thieves are about to be caught on security cameras and soon will be on the web as laughing stocks.  Actions like this may explain why Pinprick has a decently sized 'hunted' list
 
Valorosa - Another Brick, but one who relies on Density shifting. There are no barriers that stop her, that's for sure. If one seemed to be acting as a ring leader she'd target that one first and then take him down as a demonstration, announce to the others anyone who put their stolen goods down NOW could keep their faces from hitting floor. How well the PRE attack goes varies but it can't hurt. Besides, she now has their ringleader, trusting that detective work (Or a telepathic friend) could help uncover who was arranging these things and how to track down the members. She's not the detective her Uncle is, but she is no slouch.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

My character Devil Advocate that has a 50 PRE would destroy some large object and deliver a good soliloquy and hit them with about a 12+ dice PRE attack.  After that use his persuasion to get them to line up neatly for when the officers arrive on the scene from processing.  It’s been a while since I played the character, but I think I had a couple of skill levels that I can use for persuasion.  That should give me an 11 or less after taking the -10 penalty for extraordinary skill use.
