KMC: Choose ONE Power

Curious how you think that applies to my Karate Kid choice from way back on page 1.

I was wondering that exact same thing - you out of everyone has chosen....his skills? A special exception may need to be made for you.

Otherwise, I guess it would be just your 'chi'. So (I'm assuming) if you don't know ANY MAs, you could just throw haymakers left right and centre, and it would have the same effect as a 'karate punch' or whatever they used to split those 80,000 tons of ice.

You'd have the same reflexes to deal with speeding Daxamites etc etc.

You'd know what your end product was, sure. Like how I can watch a star athlete do something amazing.

But without the training? I too possess two legs, two arms etc. I have the same ability David Beckham has - the ability to kick a ball. I have seen videos, I know what he can do.

Doesn't mean I am replicating his freekicks, let alone his running ability.

@kris there're so many. Fantomex, for example.

Hmm, still not seeing it.

1. You need to be activated. The only way I guess for you to activate, is under stress - so if someone kills you, you'd die without ever activating it.

2. Even when activated, you still won't be THAT skilled without practice. You will need SOME practicing. Running is natural to everyone - doesn't mean we're all suddenly world class sprinters.

3. I doubt highly that God Blair would grant them to you, considering he said no to Britain for the precise same reason - that it gave you multiple powers.

Not saying you're cheating, but as Blair is God here, he decides if he'll say yes to granting it - I can just be talking out my ass.

But still, on points 1+2 - how will you activate it? And then, you'd need to 'level up' through use. EVERYONE here starts with no skills and experience in using their powers, btw. Abhi and h1 won't know how to stop, do nifty Flash tricks, Sin does not have teleportation etc....

We don't get anything, and we are dropped in a version of our world.

Delph won't have access to arc reactor tech, nor Shi-Ar tech, or weird exotic materials. Just what he can get his hands on.

Abhi doesn't get a speedforce suit - they don't exist in our world.

Time doesn't get Magneto's funky helmet, etc etc. It is you, as you are now, with Cole's powers, without Cole's experiences and skills, and a location device.

EXACTLY.

All of us are noobs with powers. Sure, we KNOW what we can eventually do if we work hard (so Carver knows if he trains his little heart out, someday, he can be as powerful as a woman), and Sin knows if she keeps throwing herself into danger, she would emerge super powerful (she hopes).

It shouldn't take me long to learn storm powers. I control weather.

Course not. I mean, Storm never trains herself to use her powers, and doesn't need experience.

As soon as her mutant abilities manifested, she was able to create global freezes and lightning storms and tornadoes and lightning cocoons etc.

Lol...not saying I would be doing all of that. I'm just saying that it would take me long to learn the basics. Create high level tornados, hail, lightning, etc...now global destruction, I'm not saying I would be capable of that.

People need to realise..

I control my legs. Doesn't mean I'm suddenly Usain Bolt level. There are some abilities here that needs training, and some that don't.

Sin doesn't need training. Blast her with fire, she will evolve.
Delph doesn't need training. He tells machines what to do, and they do it.
Reflasssh doesn't need training, things just work out for him.
Even I need SOME training, not much, admittedly, but I have safety to practice.

Yes but can you control it? Be to careless you might hurt yourself with your own storm.

Lol...naah, she can't hurt herself with her own Storm. I think I would learn my powers much faster than a lot of people here. I just control weather. It can't get any simpler than that since I know everything I need to know about it. Basic powerset but powerful.

Well, I have my relevant scans ready for the BZ.

My opening post will be the same as the one I've already posted, as it would be grossly unfair to change it based on prior knowledge.

I'm working off the assumption we start in our respective locations, I have no idea who else was chosen, nor what powers they have (until I get into a 50 mile radius of them). A speedster could be coming for me, a telepath, a weather b!tch...the possibilities are endless. It could be my good friend carver, or my worst enemy krisblaze (how I hate him).

I don't know what Reflasssh's powers are, or that we are allied, or anything like that, yet.

All I know is that I now have powers, and I need to get to safety. Easy enough for me. The rest of you can figure out what to do. But I'm assuming we all have these same stips.
