The worst superpower ever
Quote:
Ah, thank you. I more of less stopped following mainstream superhero books sometime after Crisis on Infinite Earths, during the era of the Invasion, Underworld, Final Night, and Zero Hour events. Enjoying comics is much easier when you no longer care about continuity -- I've been spared things like Superboy-Prime punching reality in the face.

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! ![]() |
Many many spots.

Anyone who doesn't think shopping carts are dangerous clearly hasn't read enough Discworld novels.

That's not rules abuse, that's a power in use!
A rules-abuse expert would try to color the ground beneath an enemy "high intensity infrared" and their internal organs "microwave."

I'm currently running a tabletop game where people have powers like the ability to turn forward momentum into muscle fatigue, the power to create alcohol anywhere, and the ability to amplify pressure on keystones, all of which are played off to have immediate, deadly combat applications.
...and that's not counting the bizarre and rules-lawyery power uses in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
I always get stuck with the -5 movement shopping cart with the wobbly front wheel.
'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.
