To be fair, pseudo is the name of the game in pulp science, surely?

That's one of the things that makes MCU Iron Man one of the best superheroes on screen. So many films seem to have their hero not actually change or grow from one film to another, reverting back to their old habits of bad behaviour and such, just so that the sequels can repeat a similar moral again. The Iron Man suits, and Tony's initial relative personality flaws/mental health issues, allow for a constant self-improvement and power-up in every film. Shows his extreme self-awareness and self-reflection, mirrored by his increasingly advanced technology and refined skills as a superhero.

I could see running this without people noticing that it is just Die Hard, since you'd be having a whole team of PCs. You'd just need to avoid being *too* obvious... OR Lean into the obvious "this is you guys playing Die Hard", and let them have at it.

Assuming ALICE threw BOB during segment 1, after ALICE grabbed BOB with her Telekinesis and BOB failed to hold on to anything or whatever else BOB might have tried to avoid this:
 
Segment 1: ALICE, with TK Str 40, throws BOB.
Str of 40 - the Str 10 needed to throw a thing that weighs as much as a person = Extra Strength of 30 
Telekinesis used to Throw something counts as a Running Throw (Volume 1 page 294).
Running Throw with Extra Strength of 30 = 48m
 
48m distance = 48m up, which then means starting to fall 48m straight back down again.
 
Segment 2: BOB falls 10m, assuming an Earthlike environment.
BOB falls 10m in Segment 2 unless caught or otherwise affected by his own, or someone else's, actions. BOB falls in Segment 2, whether ALICE or BOB have a Phase in this Segment or not. 
 
Segment 3: BOB falls another 20m.
BOB falls 20m in Segment 3, for a current total of 30m. BOB falls in Segment 2, whether ALICE or BOB have a Phase in this Segment or not. 
 
Segment 4: BOB falls the final 18m.
BOB falls the last 18m to the ground. Unless he had reduced falling damage from something (power, an ally, or whatever), he will now take damage for his fall.
 
48m is officially a "Long Fall" 
20m or less would qualify as a "Short Fall"
 
Long Falls do 1d6 damage for every 2m of their current velocity (how far they would have fallen this segment if they fell for the entire segment without hitting anything).
 
BOB would be falling 30m this Segment if not for meeting the ground.
30m ÷ 2m = 15, so that is 15d6 of damage.
 
ALICE throws BOB, BOB falls for two more Segments, whether or not he has a Phase in either of those Segments, and then BOB takes 15d6 damage during that second Segment.

I didn't run it, and I wasn't sure if this was intentional, but the last time I was in a team of super-heroes, it happened to be a team composed entirely of X-Men style mutants. It worked out well, but then, we all had our own powers, which were different, so does that even count?

"Knife to meet you!" - Kale, the party's kill happy assassin, every time he kills people with one of his many knives.
 
"If I make the obvious pun after I kill this guy, does that technically make this murder?" - Osric, the party mage, when he finally ran out of charges on his magic spell attack and actually succeeded at killing them with a knife, after failing every time before. 

Is that Sherlock Holmes holding Bruce's blindfold and speaking?

Joe Mawma - in a sort of modern fantasy and scifi kitchen sink setting (basically low level supers, but you don't need to have an origin or powers) he was a con artist with specialty in convincing you that your mom had come to visit, even though it was him in a bad wig, a bathrobe, and slippers, and even when he tried to pretend to be many people's mothers at once, who were total strangers.

Speedforce
Alpha (as in the first letter of the greek alphabet, because you're always the first)
Sam 'Leggy' Johnson (faking not having a secret identity by having your secret identity sound like a public one)

Queen - the original soundtrack for Highlander. Amazing inspiration for roleplaying in any modern fantasy.

I have recently rewatched the Jumanji trilogy. Really forgot how much of a horror the first Robin Williams Jumanji film is.

Hm, we need to keep Dr. Catraphes doomsday weapon somewhere safe. Let's put it on my closet until we get back to base.
 
Does it need to be something besides a special effect no. A question was asked and I answered. You can disagree with it but say it's flat out wrong because...
 
 

Alternatively, just spend a couple of points on having a tiny base with no features, the use of which being just as a closet, then an Extradimensional Movement power with all of the disadvantages you mentioned. Put it in a ring (a Focus) and allow only a person wearing the ring, plus belongings, into that closet space (so the ringbearer cannot use it as a safe place to let the rest of the team hide when they want to, etc).

I am honestly quite curious what a Skor is. What words used in the name of any brand of chocolate look at all like Skor when upside down or something?

(The) New Mutants
 
Edit: Damn it! Distracted for five minutes (checking that it wasn't, technically, "X-Men: (The) New Mutants" - which it isn't by the way - in case that mattered. Ah, well, O it is...
 
Oblivion 

Did you know, thanks to a very old law that is still in place nobody living in London is allowed to be buried there? 
 
Apparently, you need to be dead first.

Oh, my god, yes! Tilda Swinton, *as* Tilda Swinton, turning out to be the secret leader of all vampires in the council of elders!? Such an amazing choice.

There are 10 kinds of people. Some can understand binary, and some don't get this joke.

There are 2 kinds of people. Some of them can extrapolate from incomplete data. 

Wait, did Ragnarok start already!? Dang it! I'll get my boots.

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica So close no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know So close no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never cared for what they say Never cared for games they play Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know And I know So close no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are No, nothing else matters

Currently watching a handful of my favourites of Tilda Swinton. 
Only Lovers Left Alive - A slow paced emotional drama with John Hurt, Anton Yelchin, Tom Hiddleston, and Tilda Swinton. Tom Hiddleston is a vampire with depression. He's currently going through a small period of suicidal thoughts so his old friend, and fellow vampire, Tilda Swinton, travels from her home in Tangier to visit him at his house in Detroit and keep him company, hopefully dissuading him from acting on it.
 
Orlando - The life of a person born a man in the 1600s, quite androgynous and a skilled poet, as he becomes Queen Elizabeth's confidante, ceases aging because she told him to, romances a Russian Princess and an American rebel (who may or may not be the spirit of freedom and adventure), and one day wakes as a woman, still being very androgynous, because the masculine world was no longer suiting her.
 
Constantine - A DC action film that totally butchers the DC trickster wizard and his world, not even pronouncing his name in the right way. But, at least it makes good use of Tilda Swinton as the appropriately agendered archangel Gabriel, who advises Constantine on the will of God as he tries saving the world from Satan's rebelling son.
 
The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe - Tilda Swinton plays Jadis, the White Queen. She's an immortal, albino, giant, who created Narnia after destroying her last world in order to have somewhere new to conquer and currently reigns over it as the Queen of an endless winter without a christmas. (Yeah. Fun fact: when Aslan said "Don't quote the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written!", what he's carefully not mentioning is that, though he was there, it was *her* who wrote and cast the deep magic. She actually *is* Queen of Narnia, rightfully, and the Humans from our world are colonial invaders.) 

Pretty much any of Lindsey Stirling's songs on youtube as inspiration for a game.
