I NEED IDEAS FOR SUPERHEROES/SUPERHEROINES

Name: The Dastard
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Villain
Power: Karma inversion. He has the ability to subtly alter luck, happenstance and fate to drastically increase the probability that intolerable motherfuckers will come out ahead. This power is limited to himself and to people and situations which he can physically see.
Personality: As a result of his power, he is not only needlessly ruthless and violent but intolerably rude, chauvinistic, and pigheaded. However, he has no actual disdain for others, he only treats them poorly to make use of his power.


Name: Perception
Gender: Female
Affiliation: Hero, probably
Power: Extremely good eyesight. Good enough to shoot a mosquito out of the air from miles away. But she would need a mounted turret to actually do that, because her power is limited to vision; she doesn't have a supernaturally steady arm. Her obvious uses in reconnaissance and other non-combat situations make her better suited as a hero, unless you plan on showing large sections of the story from the villains' point of view.

Name:The Human Continent
Gender:male
Affiliation:Good
Power:Can become the size of a continent in any way, shape or form, like weight/height/width and such.

Name:Eviladdicto
Gender:male
Affiliatition:evil
Power:With the fact that his name has addict in it, you'd probably be thinking he has the power to make people addict to whatever he wants, but he is made out of all of these drugs merged together. And I'm mean ALL of them.

Name:Roman Racer
Gender:Female
Age:10
Power:She is a animagus(a person who can change into a certain being at will), who can turn into a cenataur that can run so fast/teleport, that it seems to manipulate time, yes, this speed is called time speed, which is even faster than warp speed, meaning it's so fast, it makes everything either lose color/gain color depending if she goes forwards or backwards. And yes, she's pretty young to be a superhero, but ey, Pyro's 12(me)!

Titanium Man would be quite different of course, because being too similar would be a bad thing and look really cheap/lazy/whatever.

Actually Titanium Man is already a Marvel character... Sorry.

Name: Hyena
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Affiliation: Bad
Power: Uses laughing gas canisters to subdue advisaries. He is also affected by the gas, but loves to laugh. So, like... whatever.

how ironic.

Name: Endo
Gender: Male
Powers: He controls heat, but he can only control it in the direction of drawing it to himself. This allows him to freeze targets at distance, while surrounding himself with fire. He also cannot be harmed by heat (except ridiculous levels such as the sun).

Name: Exo
Gender: Female
Powers: She does the opposite of Endo, she moves heat away from herself. This allows her to put targets at distance at fire while surrounding herself with ice. Naturally, she cannot be harmed by cold herself.

I think in general I find the more subtle powers without obvious combat uses much more interesting, especially when those characters are then forced into combat. I like seeing characters with powers like stealth, mind-reading, and probability manipulation more than characters with power like electricity, super speed and demon summoning. Of course, once you get many characters with those kinds of awesome combat powers, it becomes extremely hard for the less combat-oriented ones to keep up, especially in a combat-heavy environment such as a video game.

I have to agree with LockeZ on this one, characters with nonconventional superpowers that are forced to use them in the conventional RPG sense are much mor interesting!
Here are a few more that I just thought of off the top of my head:

Name: Knocturne
Gender: Male
Power: Able to touch sound with his bare hands, identifying people not only by the sound of their voice, but also by the feeling of it. He can mold sound waves with his hands to change the way that others hear them (I.e. turning a cry for help into an "All clear" signal), or craft a physical weapon out of sound.
Personality: Very musically inclined, tends to be stuck up and call others out on any mistake that they make.
Looks: Huge, buff, typical Hulk kind of guy.

Name: Hocus
Gender: Male
Power: Can conjure mesmerizing flares in his hands, to attract all attention in the room to him. He is immune to mind control (As he can pull himself out of it using the fire) and mind reading.
Personality: Mischevious, cunning, swift.
Looks: Skinny, weak looking. Dressed in a long black cape.

Name: Pocus
Gender: Female
Power: Hocus' partner, she can flip through an unsuspecting targets mind as if it were a book, stealing any information she wishes. However, they have to be preocupied with something else for this to work, hence Hocus' powers. She is immune to Hocus' powers.
Personality: Very similar to Hocus.
Looks: Average person clothing, to blend in with everyone else.

Name: Rift
Gender: Male
Power: Able to move solid rock formations to create an opening or tunnel, instantly allowing others to access sealed caves and such. However, while he is using his power, Rift is unable to move through his created gateway, and if he stops using his power to move, the doorway will close itself.
Personality: Lazy, annoyed with everything.
Looks: Small build, dark sepia vest and jeans.

Name:Hunter
Alter ego:Xander Cole
Gender:Male
Age:52
Affiliation:Good
Powers:Enhanced physical abilities(strength, stamina, speed, agility, reflexes), Highly trained in un armed and armed combat, Expert in martial arts, Immune to any mind control, Immunity to aging, Regenerative factor.

Story:Born as an average child in a normal american city, Xander Cole grew up with little money and without a mother. He was an only child and lived in Brooklyn, New York.

When he was 15 he ran away from home as he was stressed and tired of living such a misserable life. After living on his own for 3 years he decided to join the army.

Xander was one of the best soldiers that anyone had ever seen. He followed orders, he was physically able for anything, he was smart and always knew what was best to do.

After being in the army for 7 years, Xander was chosen to be in an elite task force of soldiers. These were the armies best soldiers. They were tasked with the hardest missions that were deamed unsafe for the rest of the military.

One of his targets was a powerful mutant known as Wolverine. This was the hardest task they had been given and took up months of there time. After many failed attempts to capture Wolverine Xander was approached by some military scientists. They offered him the chance to bring down Wolverine once and for all. They told him that they could make him into a super soldier. Xander was sceptical at first but went ahead with it.

The proceedure was a total success. Xander had become more than he could have dreamed of. He had amazing physical attributes. Every day he discovered new hidden strength within him. It was time for him to do as he had planned and capture Wolverine. The military gave him any weapon they had. He simply asked for an axe. No ordinary axe though. It was an Adamantium axe, the same metal as Wolverines bones. He also requested specially made armour to protect him from whatever may come his way.

He finally caught Wolverine, and they engaged in a fight that destroyed a whole town. As Xander was about to finish Wolverine they talked. Wolverine told him about what the military tried to do to him and that they would do the same to him.

Xander came to realise how evil the military could be and went AWOL. He decided he could help the world more on his own, so he did. He let Wolverine go and they went seperate ways.

Xander realised that if he wanted to stay away from the militaries grasps he must take on another persona. He decided he would be called The Hunter! Along with changing his name he changed his outfit. He kept the specially made ultra strong armour the military had given him but modified it into a costume for himself.

This is how The Hunter was born!
