... Make an RP involving superpowers. Sure, it's not the most original idea, but the way characters get them is the important part. Instead of it just being "I fell into a vat of toxic waste and now I have powers! Yippee!", it'll be a bit different. I was thinking maybe that (correct me if I get any terms/spellings wrong) a certain rare strand of humanity (though it's in all races/cultures) is born with a "superpower"- erm, "special" ability, though it's dormant... Meaning that they cannot use it until the unconcious part of their brain decides that it's time to use it. Like if they are, say, being chased by alot of wild dogs and they need a boost of speed. After it is activated, (and used immeadiately) the subject gets a sudden surge of emotion (as in the good type this time) that makes them feel like they are invincible (for a short time), followed by denial (of what they did), followed by (whatever feeling that makes you feel like an outcast and think you are a freak), followed by (eventually) acceptance. So basically moodswings afterwards. ...And the next day they wake up feeling terrible. But if it is not used, it either goes dormant (if they're young) or disappears from their DNA (if they're old). Any ideas? Comments? Constructive criticism? (If you can). Anything besides "Superpowers suck."? |

Superpowers suck.
No, not really.
I think it's a good idea, though this isn't my area of expertise. |

| Cool. Of course, being me, we have to bring the government and have the "mutants" hunted down. |

Of course. We mustn't forget experimentation.
Who cares if they die? It's for the GREATER GOOD.
Or the lesser of two evils. |

| I had a thought that the power in the DNA, was actually a "Superadaptation". If the situation was you getting chased by wolves, normally, you would have the dna of superadaptation, basically a blank template. Since you are getting chased by wolves, and need extra speed, it would make it as if the entire human race has been chased by wolves for hundreds of generations, giving them an adaptaion of speed in the course of that time. It would be like that, except the DNA, allows it to happen very quickly, and suddenly. |

@KoolKid: You either have to make/obtain them yourself, or get someone you know that makes it on your good side. |

| So your situation would make the superpowers different depending on the situation. |

@Tay: But realience on technology has caused it go dormant. And living in urban areas with less and less wolves. |

Superpowers! Yeah I'd join.
Maybe there is a prison known as the M.A.D house.
Metahuman Assessment and Development.
Supervillians are taken there to be restrained, and drugged. And spit out as normal members of society. Told there last life is a lie over and over.
Most forget they even had powers.
But one day, a poweroutage happens when they're taking a new member in. He frees everyone else.
You break out, but you have no idea who you are. Due to the memory supressing drugs, also nobody would know how long they last.
Former connections would be after you, and try to trick you.
Or past enemies would want to kill you.
Superheroes would want you dead as well. Even if you believe you are innocent.
But since they're memory supressing drugs, you can choose to return to your old life of crime. Or become a hero.
And that's all I have. |

| I'd rather see a new/silver age version of it, a bit colorful but a sense of realism thrown in. |

| Wasn't exactly planning on something like MAD house, but I wanted a sort of prison for "mutants" where were not only kept from society, but experimented on. |

| Well. Basically, what I meant is..... It adapts your DNA and body to the situation at hand suddenly, speeding up a process of adaptation, that would usually take hundreds of hundreds of generations of the same situation forcing adaptation slowly. Except it would happen in a second or two of that situation. |

| Its about these small band of humans who have special abilities. Some get captured and get tested on etc. There is a gov agency chasing them. The main character sux at using his powers but when it is needed he is amazing. He finds his girl. (A chick who escapes while getting tested. She now has enhanced abilities in mind control.) |
