Not saying I hate a character if its powers doesn't make sense 😛 I'm just saying I have a hard time respecting the thoughts put behind it. To me, even in a fictional world, logic is everything.
The other day on an external forum I made a character with teleportation, superstrength, partial telekinesis and immovability. I don't mind characters that have an "illogical" combination of powers, but I do get a great deal respect for people that is able to tie the powers together. I did this with my character, which makes her powers make more sense than they would if you just write "Teleportation, superstrength, telekinesis and immovability".
I wrote an elaborate explanation on how she could do each of the things she does and what relevance to everything each power had. Everything followed a theme I set for the character at whole, even though they appear quite different from eachother at a mere glance on each power speperately. My elaboration would make people understand that they aren't that different.
