do u like my mutant. i made him up

Started by wannabe5 pages

YAAAWN yawn What a boring and unimaginative character design...but wait, it actually isn't a character, just a husk filled with powers that can do almost everything and no weaknesses.
Electro at his max + Magneto + Cable + Wolverine comes to mind. IT can manipulate anything energetic, solid, liquid or mental and IT automatically becomes nearly untouchable and regenerative the moment it gets dangerous.
Aren't there already enough of these uber powerful characters around?
How about some interesting, if not even original characters for a change (as hard as it may be with so many heroes and villains around)?
If this would be a role playing game, i bet you would be a paragon of a "power-gamer" 🙂 (no offense meant).

Magneto, with telepathy, telekenesis, energy form, instant healing, and the ability to control light......... That doesnt sound too powerful to you?

But in all fairness, listing the different methods of producing electricity and saying he can control them all is giving him way too much more.

You've said he has control over radiation, solar power and hoydro electricity, so basically he can disintegrate life, control the sun and make the oceans electric.

Sometimes the key to making a good character is to give them limitations that they have to overcome, not just giving them vague, god-like powers that could overcome any situation.

Like I said, he's Magneto with the power to turn into energy... Everything else, Magneto can do... And pluse, most of the other stuff he listed as "Livewire" abilities don't even make sense.

Don't think by me saying he's not too powerful that I think "Livewire" is a good character... I think he's lame, and unoriginal... Even down to the name.

whats this guys weakness anyway?..and since he has all those powers he'll not live past 30 he'll just burn out one day..

weakness: an energy disrupter can be used to stop him. draining his energy. also think about leech. he can shut his energy off making him prone to physical attaks

occupation😖tudent
affilation group:currently x-men, former brotherhood of evil mutants, former horeseman of apocalypse

mutant powers: able to generate and control any form of electricity(radiation,magnetism,light,static,solar power,hydropower,electrons,electric currents ). can transform into lighting, and move through wires like electricity. also able to generate magnetic fields and control ultraviolet rays and spectrums.
when wounded his body turns into pure energy and heals itself

note: in recent years livewire has developed limited telepathy because of his ability to sense electric magnetic waves. he also has developed telekineses. some have come to call him the mega mutant(the first of his kind)

screw everyone that says it sucks i think he is awsome 🙂

That's expected of you...sidekick. 😉
But really, what exactly is so awsome about IT??? 🤨 I really don't find anything.

You cant actually list leech as a weakness, since that applies to every mutant.
So basically, there's only one type of weapon that can harm him, but since he controls magnetism, radiation, and the light spectrum, its not as if he couldnt disintegrate any such weapon instantly,

seriously, tone it down, he has too much power!

And give him some personality.

it looks like QUILL

Well, you have only given us a compilation of powers summoned into a humanoid husk, so...
The compilation is pure, lame, unimaginative powergaming and the...the...hmmm...what else exactly are we supposed to assess??? 🤨

Well, I like the electricity thing, in my opinion there arent enough good electrical based characters, that said, yours isnt one of them.

If you want tips for improving the character;

-First, actually create a character, some personal details and personality would be effective.
-a decent back story would give a good idea of who the character is and where they come from.
-Lose the telepathy, vague references to contolling the various types of creating electricity, (Since most of those dont actually create electricity, they just supply the heat or momentum to power turbines which generate the electricity), keep the magentism if you want, but lose the instant healing part of the energy form.
-Create more plausible, common weaknesses, not two, very specific situations that might arise. Give definite substances or occurences that can harm him.
-lose the Mega mutant reference, they already have Omega mutants, and I wouldnt try to make him one of them, it shows a lack of imagination.
-try to keep powers and abilities simple, but not so vague and unstoppable.

If I can think of anything else, Ill post it.
Dont give up on the character, just try to modify it until you're happy with it and it sounds like a character you could really see in the story of a comic, not just blasting all the enemies away and showing uo every character in the comic.

^thanks that was more helpful. but i feel if i create a story u guys would understand him better like he is now. but thats my bad i should have gave yall more detail like u said. i will take your advice

Ok, cool, I look forward to the story.

If you ever want more advice or an opinion on an idea, feel free to pm me if you want.
Sometimes a second perspective helps.
