Eltab
Lord of the Hidden Layer
Does it have to be just one?
A lot (but not all) of my 'favorite super-powers' came from exposure to 1e Gamma World.
- You not only can hear other peoples' thoughts, you can make them do what YOU want. Your anger, through the telepathic link, can give them a migraine headache. (Darkover novels: Alton family laran.)
- Force field to absorb blows / attacks aimed at me (GW and no doubt many other sources)
- Heightened CON: so many HP that almost nothing can kill me before I have a chance to run away from it (GW)
- Chameleon Power: My very skin is an Elven Cloak of Hiding! (GW and D&D)
- Alternate chemistry in nerves for Lightning Reflexes (Niven's 'Man-Kzin Wars')
- Alternate chemistry in brain so I can think faster (Niven's 'Smoke Ring' novels uses an AI)
My 'ideal GW character' had Heightened CON plus a 'Zone of Stun' mutation.
