[QUOTE="Relique du Madde, post: 4648232, member: 42169"] For me the difference in magic and the supernatural is this: The supernatural tends to be limited in what it can do and is often based on cultural expectations. IE. A monk can live for thousands of years if they meditate, eat right, and live a life of celibacy and devotion were as magic can do that with a flick of the wrist. Superpowers are like the supernatural, however even when their abilities are set they are highly fluid and up to interpretation. This means that even though superman has a generally accepted range of powers, new powers and abilities can be added in or taken out depending on the need of the film. IE. Superman was able to travel back in time in one movie but not in the next. Aeson, that was sort of what I planned. Depending on the number of "contestants" we get I was going divide the contestants into several equal numbered groups and have each group battle it out. The winners then are divided once again and set after each other and the process would continue until there are two people left who would battle it out to the title of Ultimate Bad Ass. [/QUOTE]
