The worst superpower ever

Yes, worse than Ranged Shot. Worse than Barb Swipe. Worse than detention field.

I give you: shopping cart summoning.

No wonder I had to go save this guy:

"Worst"? Ehh... I dunno... I've been in the grocery store with just a little basket to just pick up a few things which then turns out to be a lot more... Being able to summon a cart would be good!

Also... Maybe this is a leak of the next travel power!!!

I once had someone stuck running around in-game with a megaphone. It was weird.

It was a strange weekend, some friends were doing an ITF and said that Rom was guarding one of the cysts in the second mission and Statesman was in the final mission.

I really wanted to go do an ITF after hearing that lol

That poster takes on a particularly dark tone if there's someone standing around waiting to kick you into submission.

Edit: Wait, that's not an MA/SR scrapper, that's an Energy/Energy Blaster. Eh.

Would that be you summon a shopping cart and then push it around the city making vroom vroom sounds, or would that be you summon that guy to push you around in a shopping cart. While you sit in it making vroom vroom sounds.

A shopping cart would actually be great to have for escort NPCs. You could push it and make them ride in it.

Oh, please let it be the second. And give the guy the most exasperated look possible.

How do you think he got up there in the first place?

And people say scatter is bad. Only when you do it wrong. When you do it right, the Tsoo speak your name in whispers for years.

I would not complain about paying 600pp for the latter. But it's gotta have the sound effects.

I figured crane kick would work.

I just thought "kick into submission" was more lyrical than "beat into submission" or "blast into submission."

I am in completely agreement with GlassGoblin.
Along with MajorDecoy... the vote is unanimous!
This is an official poll, right?

Worst power I ever heard was the guy whose 'gift' was the ability to change the color of any object.

Anything he touched, he could change the color to anything else.

That's it, just the color, not the material itself. So no Gold from lead or anything.

Well, see, now, that depends.

Are we talking changing the color of an entire object to a single other color, or are complex patterns possible? Could he change the color of just part of an object or does it have to be the whole thing? How long does it take to complete the effect? Can it be updated rapidly, or even animated?

If he has finer control over it than just "Red square is now blue" then while sure it's not a great "superhero" power, it could be incredibly useful for artistic endeavors.

Details man!
