    From the same film (Mystery Men), The Shoveller's one liner just before entering the climactic mission that will near certainly be a suicide mission to save the city (so it is a phrase to used about a very big, hero mission but one which will be very difficult to pull off and you might all die, or worse, fail to save the city):
     
    We've got a date with destiny! And it looks like she's ordered the lobster!

    Lord Twig got a reaction from Pariah in Build Question: Nanogirl   
    Just noticed another Modifier that should be added to Nanogirl's Shrinking. Inherent (+¼). This would make her small size her natural state so it could not be drained, dispelled, aided or anything like that. So her full power would be:
    Nanosize: Shrinking (.125m tall, 0.25kg mass, -8 PER Rolls to perceive character, +8 DCV, +24m KB); Reduced Endurance (0 END, +½), Persistent (+¼), Inherent (+¼) for 48 points.
     
    This seems to me to fit the character concept that her natural size is tiny (4" tall), but without the Always On limitation you could still just turn it off and she could become human sized.
     
    I also noticed that, according to the rules, you can no longer have a negative strength. My old brain was remembering Champions 3rd edition when a -20 STR could lift a football and a -10 could lift a shotput. Now you can't lift less than 8kg with 1 STR, which is a little disappointing, but oh well.
