Lets go with that. So instead of jumping about to avoid attacks parts of his body will go from black to a "blueish black with blue energy distortions" as some combination of pre-cog-triggering-minor-phasing.

Personally I think it's cool that incorp has different ranks that do different things, but turning into coherent energy seems to complicate an already complicated power-combo/charcter.
I completely missed the second paragraph.Shalimar said:
It seems like this could almost be a different flaw (limited uses?)
Thanks!

A couple questions:
1. Can I customize the visual component of Surge's powers? I was thinking that the military would have trained him to focus his powers by tying them to regular things that do the same thing, so that, for instance, his blast power occurs by having a pistol appear that shoots elecriticty, his strike manefests as a knife, his autofire blast a machine gun, if he had an area option, a grendade, a penetrating, homing effect a rocket launcher, etc...This also combines his electrical skills with his light-affecting skills.
2. Can I tie limitations to those imaginary items, for instance, (not that this would be worth much) his gunish powers not working in a vaccuum, etc.? And speaking of limitations, how could I handle feedback effects when so long as his force field is up (and there are ways to take it down of course), his imperviousness blocks the damage? He's not immune to electricity himself, after all, and it would be nice (and in-concept since they would correspond to different military equiptment) to be able to get things like autofire or area attack). Besides, it would also allow him to do an attack-damage trade to get up to twelve, possibly
EDIT: A lot more stuff posted in the description. So far I have not included any of the limitations I ask aobut here.

Tweaked Mnemonic so now when he is successfully Mentally Attacked not only does it wipe his absorbed memories but his as well, therefor taking advantage of being ably to have an alternate power. Now Mnemonic can alter someone's Memories during the Memory Synch insteading of Mimicking them.
Seemed like a natural progression of the Power.

So wait, he loses his own memories everytime he sucessfully attacks someone with his main power? Isn't that really dangerous? He'd have all these stolen memories and powers, but in the middle of combat forget who he is, what his objectives are, and who his friends and foes are. In fact, if all he has is his victim's memories, might he accidently think he's the villain? Am I missing something here?

No he loses his memories when someone successfully attacks him (i.e. he fails his save)
BUT that is fairly hard to do. He is Impervious for attacks PL 10 and below and has a +15 save.
If it were the otherway I would have said when successfully attackING and well that would've sucked.
Though yes, occasionally a very strong personality can supress his personality and he may think he is that person.
I myself enjoy characters with some flaws. Though I try to make it flavorful and not all-encompassing. The whole memory muck up thing probably will only occur every few adventures or so.

I think I'm done with stats. (unless I've made an oops somewhere). Thanks for the help everyone!
As for fitting in with the group Entrapper has some easy possibilities. If his precog isn't acting up he can have been at the "right place at the right time" to have earned other people's stuff. If people are doing techonological research (i.e. the university setting) then he might go there to see about how to 'take the suit off'.
He's also, somewhat inadvertently on my part, a decent "detective type": he's got information gathering/investigation type abilities.
Of course that may not be attractive for the one-shot in question.

Oh, my bad. That makes A LOT more sense.
