The new TV show Lucifer does a fantastic job of demonstrating this, albeit with a hell of a lot more humor than I could have drummed up.

How about The Blob, a classic that would make for some fun.

Rápida Tiffany Tortellini’s father arrived in Mexico from Italy in 1949 with his new bride to pursue his dream in the ring. During the war he had been an unwilling test subject for a VIPER contingent masquerading as Nazis. So many tests and treatments were done to him that he can’t really say which particular one manifested his sonic speed powers; but when they did, he immediately escaped. His abused body had difficulties handling great speeds and in his first bought in the ring his heart burst. He collapsed at his opponent’s feet in the third round. As Tiffany grew up and grew into her super speed powers she used them in the ring to honor her father. However, she discovered how corrupt it all was and turned to committing small crimes in the guise of Rápida. Tiffany convinced herself it was all to support her emotionally devastated mother but really it was for the thrill. Soon she caught the eye of Profesor Caótica and was persuaded to join.

He's been dubbed Nightstick by the other USA 5-O members.

The power to defelect any attack shot at you. Sounds cool; till your freinds start dropping or buildings explode from the deflected attacks.

That's why chicks dig vampires, or am I wrong. There are and have been several vampire themed shows that have vampires seducing women with mystical attraction. Their primary target audience is female, and the shows are quite popular. Not sure why you had to turn this ability into an IIF used to drug women. The ability could simply be that one would be soooo darn charming that no female could resist that person and want to be with them. –which is how I intended it. Maybe I should have called it "Got Game" instead. One of the reasons why I love this game is the ability to create your own special effects to the powers crafted. So I don't know what is creepier, me producing a talent/abiltiy to seduce women, or you subverting that ability into a drug (IIF) and relating it to criminal activity.

Strobe Felix Garner discovered his super speed the same time his epilepsy manifested. It was a horrifying experience, one he will never forget. He was eight and playing on the monkey bars when he froze, then spasmed, then froze again--going back and forth bouncing throughout the monkey bars, blood spraying everything. It all ended with Felix lying on the ground, shallowly breathing, coated in his own blood. For those children looking on it was frightening. Felix's best friend, Tommy, later described it by saying Felix looked like a humming bird trapped in a cage, who was slamming itself into the bars in a desperate attempt to free itself. Fortunately for Felix, as he grew older, the tonic-clonic seizures happened at such great speeds that he just looked like a person moving through a strobe lighted disco. Felix's first attempt at being a hero accured at a grocery store where a crazed lunatic began to shoot up the place. The would be killer was unable to get a bead on Felix as he closed in and delivered a supersonic punch that sent the shooter flying out into the street where he laid unconscious. Soon after Felix created a silver and white costume becoming the hero known as Strobe.

Nightwind's pose reminds me of one of my favorite comic book heroes: Badger

Chap A true gentleman. A man whom always dresses his best and acts the part. Chap typically wears a suit, tie/cravat, proper shoes and hat. An accomplished HTH combatant, he can come out of any scuffle without spilling any libations he might be imbibing. His favorite pastime, besides any gorgeous feme fetal, is to match wits with men of accomplishment.

Thanks trib for the heads-up. Theme: a 7 member team based on sports jargen, i.g., Fastball, Sweep, and Flatliner.

Al dente From Italy comes, Al Dente, the culinary wonder that possesses fleshwarping powers. His opponents flail before him as their bodies become like wet noodles.

I was thinking paranormal as defined in the Stronghold supplement. I was hoping their might have been a write up on it somewhere. I just read in CC that the peak that humanity has to offer is Legendary, which is 2x to 3x a Noteworthy Normal, so I think those stats you listed are right on. For my group I need to drop Green Dragon's SPD from 7 to 6.

What would be considered the max obtainable characteristics for paranormals? I'm mostly concerned with the individuals who train to reach their abilities and not those who use gadgets.

Nice!

For Russia I have their version of a young, albeit crooked, Tony Stark: a Metvie Losev who dawns his Red Sormovo armor and commits crimes. He came up with the name for his armor when robbing a military museum that housed the first ever armored tank that Russia manufactured.
