    Just to stir the pot, I had Utility publicly accuse the PC gadgeteer (Maker) of stealing the tech designs of others (including him) for her own use.  She wasn't (except for outright stealing VIPER flyer bots and their plug-and-play modules for her own use), but the accusation certainly pissed off the player.  :)

     

    I've had Foxbat build a force field dome generator to cut off part of the city so he could rob the Federal Reserve Bank (actually replaced some of the existing money with FoxbatDollars).  As an aside, he also generated snow inside to effectively create a half-mile diameter snow globe.

     

    Enemy of My Enemy:  An anti-American supervillain group breaks into a Russian missile silo to launch missiles at the US.  (The reverse could be done, with an anti-Russia group firing US missiles at Moscow.)

     

    Return of the Third Reich:  A dimensional travel experiment goes a little ca-ca, switching a chunk of the city with it's counterpart in another dimension, where the Nazis won WWII and subjugated the US.

     

    All Your Armors Are Belong To Me:  A brilliant gadgeteer discovers how to override the neural controls of high-tech battlesuits, causing them to sneak off and commit crimes while their normal operator is in secret ID.

    the last one sounds too much like the armor wars storyline

    Hi tech polluter - A big business man is pumping toxic waste into the sewers/subways where the homeless have been hiding out.  The toxin in true comic book fashion is mutating them.

     

    Alien Nature Observation - The Galactic Union, a conglomeration of alien world, has mark Earth as a pre-spaceflight applicant, meaning that due to unusual activities (i.e. supers) there is a chance that humanity might encounter a space faring race outside their solar system.  The aliens have put a group of 5 alien races to monitor and intercede in Earth affairs to see if membership into the Union is possible.  1 of those alien races has found that while they do not have mental powers on any other alien race including their own, they can mental dominate and control the human race.  Another alien race has discovered that humanity's brains make a perfect aphrodisiac/hallucinogen.  The other three are doing the work unbiased and have differing view points on Union membership.  The Dominating race wants to put the Earth under its wing as a territory in a "mentoring" position.  The druggie aliens want to make Earth a nature preserve so that they can hunt humans in culling operations.

     

     Adam - Adam is an AI which is making human replacement androids and warbots.  It has several goals.  1) the creation of another AI (propagation).  2) the spurring of research and development (ingestion of data).  3) And world conquest for the BETTERMENT of humanity.  That's right, the AI wants to make the world a better place, but humanity is fearful of machine based rulership so its doing both a subversive tactic to take control and an overt FUD tactic to get humanity to unite for the better.

     

    Clone - Scientists are looking to use the genes of mutant supers to create a superhuman soldier.  Unfortunately,  the newly created superhumans decide to rule earth.

     

    New India - Humanity is finally able to travel the stars using the stargate technology.  Their first planet they encounter outside the solar system is inhabited by intelligent cute small blue furry creatures.  Unfortunately, the planet is full of a rare metal (Nth, vibranium, etc.) and companies are scrambling to exploit the natives and strip the planet of its resources.  The aliens though have a horrifying secret which could have jeopardize all mankind.

     

    Spread the wealth - the government has prevented the wide spread adoption of futuristic weapons (blasters, beam sabers) to the general populous.  Unfortunately one unscrupulous super believes that knowledge should not be restricted for the betterment of humanity and starts sharing blaster weapon information on line.

    i'm for the last one

    As someone who's been watching the CW shows it seems to  me most of the characters avoid getting hit instead of just shrugging off damage.  Supergirl lets bullets hit her body but uses her heat vision to deflect attacks.  Flash uses a lot of dodging.  I'm just trying to figure out how that all works.

    the characters are seen to be acting naturaly to deflect/doge bullets

    Watched the latest episode tonight. I was less wondering about her having to hold her breath, than her inability to break out of something that a giant toy dinosaur could break with an accidental swipe of the tip of its tail. A toy dino that Mon El could wreck handily. The writers just wanted Kara trapped in that thing for a couple minutes, and weren't going to let logic get in their way.

    a superhero's powers are only as good as the special effects used to simulate them

    Boy, honestly, when I saw Ultra-Human, Superman did not cross my mind.  Batman, Captain America...those were what came to mind.  Not any one physical thing is better, but most are.  But no powers per se;  I don't count gadgets or Cap's shield.
