[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5312652, member: 2710"] All the talk of kids of heroes has me thinking of some twisting on an old favorite of mine: Kai Pak always felt alienated, but when an <i>actual</i> alien, calling itself Aelfyre Whitemane, showed up at his bedroom window one night and saved Kai from the shadow cabal trying to kidnap his entire family for his scientist parents' advanced research, things got really crazy. Aelfyre was mortally wounded protecting Kai, but gave him the ability to rescue his parents by transferring some measure of his otherworldly abilities over gravity, mass, acceleration, and energy to the teen. After freeing his family, Kai found he couldn't go back to living a normal life. That might have had something to do with his parents insisting he 'owed it to the world.' He never could say no to the folks. And thus [b]Power Pak[/b] was born. :) M&M isn't especially good at exactly recreating the kids' powers, but I figured I could do a vague approximation. I also thought it might be interesting if each 'aspect' is an alternate power, so he can only access control over one at time. So he can use the gravity power to do heavy lifting, but couldn't fly or blast; he could fly at super-speed, but he wouldn't have the pseudo-invulnerability of the density power, etc. [/QUOTE]
