[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 5702911, member: 478"] Reporting in. :) Ok, the concept I was having in mind worked (I think) up until the "handed down" part. :p But I guess it would still work, just that the "spark" would have happened to a parent. Anyways... here is what I am thinking so far for a character concept: [b]Blitz[/b] has inherited her powers from her mother, who was (when she was young) struck by a powerful lightning bolt during a raging storm. Instead of burning her, however, she somehow transformed into lightning herself, or rather she became able to turn herself into lightning. I basically thought about a bit of a mix between Speedster and Energy Controller here. Her Powers would include [b]Super Speed[/b] (turn into lightning and zip away; no Quickness though, as that doesn't make sense), [b]Teleportation[/b] (within line of sight only, but with the ability to zap through an opponent and damaging him or her that way; which would be her standard way of attacking -- and I'm quite sure I have read exactly that somewhere as an option... just don't remember whether it was M&M2 or HERO, but I suppose it should be somehow doable with Linked or such ;)), [b]Insubstantial: Energy[/b] (maybe bought up to Reaction, if I can afford it, and it is ok in general), maybe [b]Fly[/b] (while Insubstantial), and [b]Regeneration[/b] (only when within reach of a source of electricity; a generator, high-voltage, lightning storm, stuff like that). She would be very agile, but not very strong (i.e. a lot more Dodge/Parry than Toughness, and a bit more Will than Fort). She would look like a cute, blonde girl with blue jeans, chucks, and a purple t-shirt with a white or yellow stylized lightning bolt on it. What do you think? Does that fit your idea of 4-color? And one question: "whisked off to a distant world/dimension" That means, we were born on, say, Earth, where the parents (still) are, too, but before the campaign begins, we (but not our parents or other people we know; other than the other PCs, that is) were somehow brought to a distant world (which is similar to our Earth, but not the same). Is that about right? And when did it happen (i.e. how long before the campaign starting time)? And another question... those Tradeoffs are standard M&M3 (or did you change them somehow, which I didn't really notice yet :))? Bye Thanee P.S. I'm not familiar with Secret Wars, but there should be enough information about to change that soon. [/QUOTE]
