[QUOTE="CuRoi, post: 5476064, member: 98032"] Going off of what you mentioned - this is might sound cliche, but perhaps the way your players characters get powers is precisely because of the dimensional rift or whatever wyrmhole this guy opens. Gamma Rays/Theta Rays/Dimension X Rays whatever wierd pseudo-science explanation you want to throw in here leaks through the rift in large amounts as it is opened. the radiation tags these unsuspecting characters (who yes magically happen to be in the right place at the right time) and suddenly they are manifesting super powers. This Dimension X radiation could even lead to how the players start figuring out what is going on. They begin trying to figure out what happened to them, they key in on the radiation as a cause, and then start looking for the source of the radiation. You could control the pace of the plot by having this radiation leave traces where ever this big bad guy and his goons go. So the newly minted superheroes slowly figure out cluse as to what happened ot them, why this guy is here, and how to stop him (or her!) EDIT - OOPS Sorry, didnt see you said you already had a way planned for them to get powers. At anyrate, perhaps the whole latent radiation thing could work for sloly tracking down this guy. Some sort of uncommon energy signature they can detect (side kick with a gizmo, maybe one of them is a super intellect like Reed Richards, etc.) [/QUOTE]
