I'm working on a superhero RPG as a module for my generic RPG system. Obviously, the bulk of the work is in creating and, to an extent, balancing, the various superpowers. There are many, many kinds of superpowers, so I thought I'd ask around here and elsewhere for ideas for superpowers. What kinds of powers would you be excited to play in a superhero RPG?


Of course I already have a bunch of obvious ones like super strength and super speed, etc.

Ever feel like people on these forums can't possibly understand how wrong they are? Feeling trolled? Don't get mad. Report Post.

Id be happy with just Flight, although I guess invurnablilty would come in handy too just in case I "accidently" flew into a plane or something.
I survived Section 4 and all I got was this lousy sig


Off-topic and going downhill from there

The power to give myself powers, of course.  That and, you know, the ability to communicate with fish.

If you're terribly afraid of your character dying, it may be best if you roleplayed something other than an adventurer.

A note about character and world creation
Spoiler: Show

Character and world creation are a form of expression. The point is that some people don't have much to say...
