Weird super powers that we'll never see in CO

This gave me a chuckle.
Post any super power or game mechanic that you think is too weird, too odd, or too pointless to make it in CO.
Keep in mind that we do have Ping-Pong Ball guns and Fish for beating bad guys with.
Not sure if there's a mechanic for it but wouldn't it be fun to also have a machine gun that fires Chocolate Eclairs that could cover mooks in whipped cream then drip-off or the ability to throw pies in faces of villains for a similar visual result.

Telephoneportation: can move from any point on the map to any other, but only if there is a telephone in use at each point.

Display normal Internet behavior. Come and make fun (yes, make fun) of my PRIMUS page.
Isn't that power already in the Infernal Supernatural set?
Seriously lacking animations for that. We'd need cloth physics effects for coat tails and buttcapes, too.

Also, Insect Control is a Super power in MSH RPG. I remember when one of my hero stopped the bank robbery of a villain that went by the name Itch Master. IM was very new and did not understand his main power was IC, the only thing he knew was that he could mae anyone have overwhelming desire to scratch like crazy.
Over a long evolution Itch Master learned more and more about his powers and change his name almost every time. Aphid Attack, Fly Trap, Bee Keeper, The Moth, Roach Coach, Stink Bug ( with his one time side kick Dung Beetle ), Lady Bug ( his cross dressing phase ), Ant General and many more.
After a long build up, our GM finally turned Itch Master into King Entomon and he finally proved to be a serious problem for our team instead of a comic relief side mission of the week. I was a pretty cool evolution.
Resourceokenisis - the super power to magically manipulate how many resources individuals or teams have available to them, as well as the ability to control how those resources are used.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.

You are in a Dark Room: You transform into a large black amorphous shape that fits with the visual style of Inky Ooze Tunneling, and engulf the target for ten seconds, doing crushing damage during which time both you and the target are both stuck in the same spot until the duration is over or they break the hold.
Sword Throw:Throwing your sword at your enemy, does a spike damage in Piercing, makes all Blade powers have a six second cooldown while your blade somehow returns to your hand.
Reload: Does nothing but an animation where you reload your last used munitions weapon. At most has a On Next Hit buff
Transform Other: AoE effect, transforms targets into a teddy bear, a frog, or a cloud of green gas randomly for a short period. During this time the target has a high resistance to damage but their attacks are made pitifully weak. Can be applied on allied targets.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!
Do you also make a sad face when the CPU sends over like 3 zealots/zerglings/marines and starts trashing your completely undefended resource gathering units? ._.

The ability to turn into a train . . . oh, wait.

Only problem with that superpower is that it is primarily useful against people you don't need superpowers to defeat.
Not particularly useful against people who are bulletproof and can fly.
'Caine, miss you bud. Fly high.
Weird enough?
Is this like a Pyro vs. Human Torch thing, where he can't create the tomatoes, but he can recolor them?

Yeah, you're right, but trust me it's nothing compared to the many levels of IC my old GM conjured up back in the 80s.
LOL That's cringe worthy funny. Can you imagine if our heroes had the power to send game npcs to fight for them?
I weep at the thought of all those dead hotdog vendors.
If this picture says a 1000 words, I think I need a translator.
True. So true. Heck, they'd put us Metas out of work.
Saw this power in a stupid anime once, wonder if anyone knows what I'm talking about( stupid being the key word)
Egg Fu used to be able to do that until he caught SPACE ALOPECIA!
In the DCUO mutant egg monsters with space alopecia are a thing.

Bobobo-bo bo-bobo, stupid doesn't even begin to describe it.
That pun was so bad that even Carl Jung is groaning from his grave from pun splatter.
:rolleyes:
Lol That's the one I was referring to
it is a parody anime, i loved it, but you had to have watched a hell of a lot of Japanese tv/manga and anime to get half the joke, and the puns were largely lost in the translation.. i still thought it was hysterical, but its very much in the absurdest humor vein. its loosely a pardy of fist of the north star, but it goes everywhere.
I am aware of this. I enjoyed it as well and have watched through the whole thing multiple times, but I still think it's pretty ridiculous.
In a fantasy setting those powers are actually really freaking good.
Considering Worms can grow upwards of 40 feet, have rows upon rows of teeth the size of kitchen knives and the ability to burrow through the ground faster than you can walk...
Lets not forget that 'Amoebas' family includes things like the infamous Gelatinous Ooze, which can eat through ANYTHING living one 10 foot by 10 foot square at a time.
Sure someone has 'rodent control', you laugh about it, you joke about it but then that guy proceeds to summon all the rats in a 100 foot area in an urban setting to eat someone alive and it all gets a little bit more Dishonoured in your respect for that guy.
In our own discussion of useless superpowers, one of us brought up the idea of the ability to control shoelaces with your mind, until it was pointed out that you can strangle someone to death with them, cause them to fall over, bind their hands or, if given a high enough concentration of people, essentially create giant shoelace constructs.
'Nuff said.
How about RNG manipulation
