KMC: Choose ONE Power

Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.



Blair Wind
While scrolling through KMC, you are suddenly approached by a god like being willing to grant you one super power. You are told that everyone who has ever been on KMC will be granted the same opportunity and you will all be transported to a battleground world. Only the victor of the KMC Tournament will be allowed to keep his/her power, everyone else will simply revert to being normal (even if they died, they will come back to life as they were before).

Rules:
1)It must be low herald or below (ie: no green lantern ring, no power cosmic, no reality warping, no time). Pick something interesting that doesn't make you god.
2) By choosing one power, you'll get all the passive powers it takes to make the first power work (ie: Superspeed won't kill you, you can breath shallow air fine while flying, etc). This does not mean that you can choose two powers in one.
3) There will be other people who have super powers, but you cannot choose a power like Peter Petrelli's, Rogues, Mimics, etc

What do you choose and which KMCer comes out on top??

Even if that's a disqualification, if we're on an actual WORLD, I'd pick immortality without regen (so I could die), and would just hide out and wait for y'all to die.

That's bullshit. He's basically a god-like being himself, who said that?

Actually, having not used a knee jerk reaction....

The Spot's powers.

I've always wanted them; the ultimate power under herald for me.

Need someone killed? I port their head off.
Need transport? I'm there.
Need to BFR someone? I love that.
Need to hide from telepathy? Sure.

I think the argument against Manhattan has always been that in implied power Manhattan's basically Solar, but in on-panel application he doesn't have the feats to beat someone like Silver Surfer or Superman because he never faced another superhuman being the lone superhuman in his entire universe. He can't really be argued because there's no way to accurately gauge where he'd stand in combat.

You're not getting Manhattan, k? Play by the rules. Besides, it's a single power. You chose a character, not a power. In a ton of peoples' opinions, DM is nowhere near low herald, so I'm not sure where you're getting this. If you picked him in a low herald tourney, you'd be laughed out of the draft thread. But you're still violating the one power rule, so there's that.

Also, I'm not entirely sure that would work on Savage, though I'm not sure what his best regen feat is. But in no world is he > low herald, so I'm definitely within my rights unless Blair decides on a "no cheese" rule with these things.

Dunno, but it's irrelevant. He's immortal. Like, Mr. Immortal, Jack Harkness, can't-be-killed immortal. You can mindrape me and KO me for decades...I'll just outlast you.

I wouldn't disqualify it, but if someone chops you up into pieces and keeps your head from your body, you'd be DQ'd unless you could get back together. Essentially, if it's just one last KMCer and you're head in a bag, the other KMCer would win.

Well, gross, first off. And lol, second.

But I wouldn't be cognizant for any of it. It might as well be a lifeless husk. Which is appropriate, given what I'll do to him in retribution. I'll have eons to think of appropriate desecrations for him. He'll be equally as oblivious, of course, but it will be the world's most interminable, spiteful, metaphoric and literal teabagging.

It also assumes Mindset wins the melee between you lowly mortals. I still say I have a decent chance of just hiding under a random rock or something and waiting you out. It's on a damn planet, after all. Even with super powers, anyone besides the telepath has almost 0 chance of finding me.

My tactic is cheap, granted. The rest of y'all are being way more creative. I just felt like brute forcing my way to a possible win. Too many considerations to work out if I was actually trying to counter everyone's powers.

Not only does it make the fight easier, but many of these other powers require bloodshed, or even killing others to win. We're up against our fellow KMCers here: I like y'all too much to seriously injure you. I'd just mentally tell everyone to forfeit the match.

Why would I want the medusa mask? It makes the most one who wears it go insane. I used Psycho pirate as an example, we were asked to choose a single power. The single power I choose is to magically completely control the emotions of everyone I want.

And I wouldnt get "wrecked" because all of you would be dying to protect me from any harm from unfettered love, devout devotion, adoration. No one would even allow me to be harmed with that power.

With a similar power Glorious Godphrey turned the earth against those who risk their lives to defend it. All the powerhouses around were routed by him.

Again your under thinking it.

Where did I say I wanted eye contact. I gave a character example AFTER I chose the power to give an idea. OP states not to think of character sets and I wasnt.


Nor did I state a range, etc etc. And based on where I start no one else would even know I exist so i win by default using that argument.

Consider it like the effects of the holy Grail or the spear of destiny in All Star Squadron. The instant someone comes within a certain radius of me (in the case of those two items it was all of europe and all south east asia) they love me beyond all others and.

A power lkke that is an auto win. Applying li mm itations I never stated (and corrected to say not) doesnt change the fact.

3) There will be other people who have super powers, but you cannot choose a power like Peter Petrelli's, Rogues, Mimics, etc

What do you choose and which KMCer comes out on top??

I dont see how. It was pretty clear. One power, there was never a need to have it based on a character.

Choosing tp as an example means that any power that grants tp resistance (or tp itself) allows you to fight it.

I could have chosen empathy, but again that would mean any feats that allow resistance give a means of combating it.

I chose a VERY selective and obscure sub set of a power that within it self has no counter. The reason i even suggested psycho pirate was because his example has no counter. I was careful to say al la and not list Psycho oitate as the power I chose because as I understand it, it means in the style or manor of (so isnt a direct copy of that specific power, just similar in some ways).

The fact that you choose to see the similarities only in its limitations and not its unstopability is short sighted IMO. There is no counter to a power like that, if I'd said empathy ot telepathy there would be. In fact the power I chose is a counter to those because they require focus to use which blind uncontrolable emotion removes. Obciously it would be stupid to choose the limitations if I can "choose any power i want"

Pheromones could accomolish the same also but an air bender could counter that. Soul manipulatiin also but again there are canon counters tomit, like strong will.

I chose a power soleley because the way I selected it has no counter. Every other power listed does and every other power requires the one possessing it to control it. If they dont control themselves they dont control the power and the one I chose means even powerful TPers cant control.

Also the op clearly doesnt have us starting where we are because we are transported to a new world.

Choosing tp as an example means that any power that grants tp resistance (or tp itself) allows you to fight it.

I could have chosen empathy, but again that would mean any feats that allow resistance give a means of combating it.

I chose a VERY selective and obscure sub set of a power that within it self has no counter. The reason i even suggested psycho pirate was because his example has no counter. I was careful to say al la and not list Psycho oitate as the power I chose because as I understand it, it means in the style or manor of (so isnt a direct copy of that specific power, just similar in some ways).

The fact that you choose to see the similarities only in its limitations and not its unstopability is short sighted IMO. There is no counter to a power like that, if I'd said empathy ot telepathy there would be. In fact the power I chose is a counter to those because they require focus to use which blind uncontrolable emotion removes. Obciously it would be stupid to choose the limitations if I can "choose any power i want"

Pheromones could accomolish the same also but an air bender could counter that. Soul manipulatiin also but again there are canon counters tomit, like strong will.

I chose a power soleley because the way I selected it has no counter. Every other power listed does and every other power requires the one possessing it to control it. If they dont control themselves they dont control the power and the one I chose means even powerful TPers cant control.

Also the op clearly doesnt have us starting where we are because we are transported to a new world.

Yeah, lol. If we all get sent there, and are in eye contact with each other, then I don't win.

If we get scattered across the world, then as long as I last the first half second or so, I'll be fine. Sounds like a lot of you will be dead before the month's end, of starvation and what not.

If only SOMEBODY could continue porting supplies back from the home planet....

I'm taking donations now. You know the only currency DarkSaint demands of you.

Beatboks: Ha depends on how far your powers extend.....if for example, you're in the battleworld equivalent of Australia, and I'm in the UK, your powers won't work that far. I'm using Psycho Pirate as an analogue; I know you're not using the Medusa Mask.....

Whereas I could just open a hole beneath you and into space. Or open a hole in the sea, then over you. Distance means nothing to me when I'm in my own separate dimension evil face

krisblaze
^That's what I was trying to explain

DarkSaint85
Yeah. I'm NOT saying he DOES start in Battleworlds analogue of Australia, merely that it depends on the locations we're placed in. If I'm placed next to a telepath or speedster, I'm phucked, obviously. But if I can hide in my dimension, I'm safe.

I can see beatboks' point. But having a default global power level empathy field is not low herald level, IMO. Like beatboks himself said, that's Spear of Destiny level, but I'd argue its an Amped Spear. And that's one of the most powerful artifacts in DCU.....

beatboks
I'm not suggesting global level influence. In the case of the spear in ASS its area of infkuence was the area conquered by hitler who possessed it. I would say the area of a city would be within the limits, and really all I require. Hell a little more would be too.

In order to defeat me anyone would have to come into my area of effect. In your case darksaint spots power allows him to move the spots on his body that link him to spotworld to teleport things through that dimensional gateway. Once you have one of those spots near me you effectively put yourself in range of my abikity via a dimensional bridge. Spidermans arm for examole doesnt get any longer when it goes through a sootmon spots head and hits himself in the backmof the head it just warped there.

Lets say a TPer with massive range assaults me from range. By doing so they just put their psychie (and by extension their emotions) in range of me.

Lets say a flash level speedster blitzes, as soon as hes in range he no longer wants to attack me and stops.

The only attack I dont counter is long range energy attack, that is of course if I dont encounter someone who can counter it before its launched. If I do then they'll counter it on my behalf

Excellent, I now know it's city wide evil face

What I'm saying is, a portal like this opens at a beach somewhere. Or under the sea, where the pressures are incredible:

Dude spots body is covered in spots that link him to spotworld. The spot you put under the ocean or beach and the spot above me, also linked to spotworld. In terms of our dimension your as close to me as the spot you open over my head. You always will be.

There is literally no way you can never be in range unless the spot you have releasing the attack against me is out of my range. If it is then you miss with your attack because it's out of range.

Dimensional travel works on the basis of the einstein rosen bridge theory. The concept is that space bends to touch itslef where the wholes are. Using such a bridge to travel light years in minutes simply makes light years meters apart in actual space.

All those scans where spidey punches into a spot on spots chest and the fist hits him in the chin simply make spots chest the point in space right beside spidey's chin.

The only way you can do what you suggest and not be affected is if your using the last two spots on your body. That means you have none left to get to spotworld and get more soots so your left powerless.

If youmhad the ability to ooen demensional vortexes between any two places without a link to you you might have a case. I cant howecer think of a single teleporter in fictiin who can do that. Not to mention that to be able to do so would require practically omnipresence (to be spatially aware of which two points to use) and would therefore be over the limits.

He was stated on panel by Classic Fate to have a powerset that even the Spectre would have trouble with.

If you mean shade the changing man or from JLD then OK.

Shroedinger in the Hellsing-verse might fit that bill actually.

I don't buy anyone within your cide-wide area of influence is automatically won over by your powers.

I also don't buy that those with high-end telepathy or those whose powers are simply mind-contorl would be won over.

I also disagree with the idea that you need to connect with someone in order to effect them telepathically. Off the top of my mind I can think of cases where both Rachel Grey and Maximus the mad use telepathic attacks without being in contact with anyone. Xavier has also displayed the ability to unleash long-range attacks without connecting to anyone.

I'd also like to add that my forcefield protects me from possession, telepathy and various other forms of control.

DarkSaint85
I see your point thumb up and I understand where you're coming from. I was mistaken, although I will caveat that when I said I'd attack above your head, I was going for a fair few miles above you....yes, I was using sub orbital strikes (not moving the goalposts, btw).

I was also originally wondering if mental powers (telepathy, and your emotional powers of course) would work through the portal?

If, however, your powers work through the portal I guess I will have to save you for last then evil face and use my last two spots to kill you!!! Assuming my random strikes don't get you.....

Reflashh, I suggest a team up!!!

My one power, is the same as Captain Britain's, a connection to the otherworld energy matrix.

This one power increases my stats in the following way;

Superhuman durability, speed, strength, reflexes. Superhuman stats in other words.
Constant forcefield (which is immunity to any kind of mind-control with a few exceptions smile )
The ability to open portals to Otherworld and from there anywhere in the world.
A sort of danger sense, like the spidey-sense, but that can also detect "evil".
The ability to see magic, see through illusions and some other random shit.

If I get in the "modern" version that Captain Britain has, where it's all confidence-based, I can pull off other weird stuff where I "touch magic" and whatnot.

Now I didn't read all the previous pages, so I don't know if there are stips to TK. If not, suffice to say, you can mimic a lot of other powers with it.

You'd have to choose the TK of a certain character, if I understand it correctly.

I think it's telling, that Carver didn't go for the Hulk's powerset.

At least H1 was consistent, and went for a speedster.

I think OP should enable special dispensation for Carver, and let him BE the Hulk if he wants to. Then we can see just how limited the Hulk is in a forum setting.

That is, of course, if Carver dares to put his money where his mouth is.

You can teleport boxes of puppies.

We should do a warworld type deal here.

Maybe even battlezone it!

DarkSaint85
Ok, so AFAIK, we've all been teleported to this battleworld - for the interests of it being a match, and to save myself, obviously, we all have the chance to survive an instagib attack from the telepaths/speedsters (which is to say, we are all placed a certain distance away from each other).

A BZ would be way too complicated, unless we each did a writeup (one post each) of what we'd do? Threats we'd focus on first, people we'd ally with etc. Obv, though, no one would post because they'd want to see what the others did, so we could all PM Blair our posts, and he'd post them up....

krisblaze
That'd be a lot of fun. A max word-count maybe or something like that.

I could paste a map or something and people could decide starting locations (doesn't have to be where you actually live if there are privacy concerns).

DarkSaint85
Yeah. So an analogue of our world. With all of its characteristics, barring human civilisation..

People don't have to say where they land, Blair as God OP places them there. So anyone who wants Swamp Thing powers gets placed in the Sahara for example....

I'm just kidding Carter, just wanted to make you sweat.

DarkSaint85
As there are only about 20 of us, I'd suggest a smaller world. Then plenty of supplies (about a month's worth?) so the speedsters metabolism doesn't kill them (although Abhi has the speed force).

Blair can play Arcade, and have death traps everywhere. And when we land, he announces everyone present and their powers (like in the thread) plus the fact we're in for the fight of our lives).

I could, but I would like Blair to clarify for me first. His OP seems to suggest that you don't take a single power that would put you over Low-herald, and if that is the case, then J'onn's shapeshifting should be eligible. If it's a blanket no against the abilities of those in the higher tiers though, I'll happily go Miss Martian.

Yeah, it's strange - because if we used the tier list, a lot of them are due to CIS - which for the majority of us, should not longer be the case.
