[QUOTE="Elric, post: 4391588, member: 1139"] There's definitely a tension between the idea that a Power Stunt should be something your character could legitimately have as an AP and the idea that a Power Stunt represents your character being able to do something kind of off the wall that wouldn't be suitable for you to have as a general ability. For example, Wolverine's Adamantium Claws probably do not merit the Affects Insubstantial power feat but if Wolverine power stunted Affects Insubstantial for an attack because his claws were "dense enough" to affect a particular insubstantial opponent, I don't think that would feel so out there. If Wolverine tried to power stunt Autofire Affects Insubstantial claws to hit a bunch of insubstantial opponents, though, that would feel pretty out there. I think it's a matter of degree. Force powers and Telekinesis are definitely fairly close thematically. Think about Jean Grey having Telekinesis (usually Range: Perception) and Force Constructs and [Force] Blast and Force Field, likely in the same array. [/QUOTE]
