The Periodic Table of Superpowers

Thanks due to Comics Alliance, we now have an awesome visual and acronymic tool for codifying super-powers: The Periodic Table of Superpowers.
As mentioned in this article, Superman can be described as: OAFSISpVxVhSn; Wolverine: XWxHSn. Etc.

Statesmonkey pops out as FSIAn, and interestingly enough, my other favorite toon amounts to MyDzPq - my magic spines/dark scrapper, Tattered Man.
How odd, to have delved so quickly into the 'sub-legionic' powers.

I'm wondering which CoH characters you can and cannot make?

I'm not real happy with the size of the image, but what the heck:

PERIODIC TABLE OF SUPERPOWERS!!


Pretty clearly, in the CoH multiverse, the elemental table needs to be expanded in the W (Weaponry) Tc (Technology) Ar (Armor) and G (Gadgetry) categories.


Statesmonkey Sez: Lighten up! It's a game, for Lincoln's sake!
Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.

Needs a tragedy origin. I've a character that was born with "unusuable" magic until he found his wife covered in blood, dead, with her wedding ring finger amputated.

But... mine dares to throw the image at you full blast! BA-POW!

I also now want an Infectious Color Control set for Doms and 'Trollers.

Hm... Silver Gale would be RcSoMyStLF. Fairly standard except for the Origins.

This player would agree I think.

This isn't really a "periodic" table. Periodic means that characteristics of the elements repeat in a regular fashion. That's why all of the elements in the last column are noble gasses -- they all share the characteristic of being non-reactive. This is just a list arranged in a familiar shape.

That being said... NEAT!

What the heck is "arms fall off"?

Surprisingly enough, this was not the first superhero with detachable limbs. There was also Captain Marvel. No, not the legendary hero published by Fawcett, nor the semi-legendary hero later published by Marvel, but a lame robot hero published by a totally forgettable comic company in the years between the other two Captain Marvels.

No need to pee in someone else's Cheerios, this is the fun forums.

It's really light on origins. No sentient robots, much less more exotic backstories.

Hmm, lessee... Quinch would be VMHTpT, VTcGSp or VTcFmSp. {depending on which one}

Untranslatable is ALsGeGv {with the Ge indirectly via the computer that put him together}

And others... can't be bothered to look.
