Is it magnetic?  Does it show up on scanners? Is it detectable my metal detectors?  Does it give off a specific radiation signature revealing it's alien nature to those who know what they're looking for?  Depending on the answers may be worth complications, extra points for minor drawbacks, or require you to add an additional point for 'features'.ALSO, what is it like when it's not active?  Obviously there's some mass displacement going on if you gain density when it comes out of you, even though the 'blue stuff' is allready a part of your body.  Shalimar - What's carly's drawback?ALSO, just a side note to everyone - sooner or later (Probably sooner unless you try to prevent it from happening), your 'powers' will come out, whether linked to your true identity or not, your 'super' identity will most likely become known to the public.  At that time, if you don't have a super-name, the Media will create one for you.</blockquote>
