Or the chip in Luminery's brain, that has become infected by rogue Nanobots.
You don't even have to go that far. Johnny Sonata's personal hell, aka Johnny Sonata's personal guts is just that in a nutshell.

There's also the tiny veteran fairy pets, which appear to have been modeled at normal size then shrunk down.

Due to the mixed reactions of adding this, maybe it could be done as a mini-paid enhancement like some of the extra costumes. It'd probably have to be all sorts of unique powers specific for a mini-hero or mini-villain. Stuff like:

- Ear Disruption, which has the character fly to the target's head, disappear, and appear to cause internal ear damage to the opponent
- Multi-attack, which had the mini character fly to the target and appear to strike multiple times over the opponent's body
- Confusion, which has the character fly around the opponent to make them dizzy
- Bullet, which has the character strike his opponent with one swift sharp attack which does massive damage

These are ones I came up with right off the top of my head. There are probably others.

It would take some real creativity and imagination to pull it off, but it'd be the kind of add-on that would add extra flavor to the game.

You would have to be carefull using this one. If they had the unique lvl 51 enhancement "EAR PLUG +DEF" slotted your damage might be negated completely leaving you open to an attack.
