The Power Pessimist. "Downer Power!" :p

The funny thing is that a while ago I came up with an Anti-hero with a similar power. His name was Major Letdown and his power was negation of causality and reversal of fate. This power had a radius of about 20 - 50 feet. Basically what happens is that whenever a positive outcome to an immediate event is desired by any individual within his area of effect, the reverse (negative) outcome automatically goes into effect.

For instance, lets say Major Letdown walked in on Joe, who was about to win a mega millions jackpot. At the moment, Joe has 6 out of 7 matching numbers and is expectations of becoming am illionare are as high as possible since he can tell that 7th number is on the ball that is bing drawn. Suddently, Major Letdown's power goes into effect and without explination all of Joe's winning numbers are changed to loosing numbers leaving Joe perplexed as to what happened... OR suddently as Joe wins he runs to the corner store to turn in the ticket only to realize that it was a week old and thus a loosing ticket.

Actually, my power is to make everyone around me depressed, awkward, and uncomfortable. So even though Joe won the lottery, he couldn't celebrate his winning because I depressed him.
 

My screen name is, in fact, based on a Marvel rpg character I ran - my favorite one - so I guess to answer the question of the OP would be yes: Mycanid! (i.e. Latin for "fungus man")

So basically you have the super power of being a Buzzkill/Killjoy. Nice!


Imagine them working together....


Anchorwoman: "We're going to Frank who is live in the studio with Joe Smith who just won last nights mega millions jackpot...."
Frank: "Joe Smith, now that you are $340 Million richer, what are you planning to do with your money?"
<power Pessimist walks into the backgound>
Joe: "It doesn't matter... I don't diserve the winning ticket, you take it, I'm a bad horrible person... I really am.."
<Joe starts to weep uncontrollably and hands over the winning ticket as Major Letdown enters the room>
Frank: "Umm... thanks. As you just saw Joe Smith just handed me his winning ticket, but unfortunately, my wife called right before we went live and told me on her way to the court to file for divorse which means that I'm BEEEP since that BEEP BEEEP has one of the best BEEEP attornies that MY money could buy."
<The feed suddently is cut as Frank begins his mental meltdown. The program then goes to commercials.>
