Make up a superhero name, other anons come up with a power for that hero...

Leidenfrost has a force field 1cm over his body, its strong enough to stop a nuke(though he's never tested it) the downside is that it needs to recharge for five seconds after taking damage, no matter if the damage is from stubbing his toe on the coffee table or blocking a round from a machine gun.

He knows everything that no one else on earth knows.this has turned him into a stark raving lunatic, confined to a mental hospital.

telepaths sometimes visit him in hopes of learning great secrets about history or religion but mostly leave with useless trivia and a terrible migraine.

Blast Tyrant

A heroic figure with control freak issues.

Turbopleb

He has super-speed that scales to how mundane and boring the task at hand is.

He can complete taxes and pick up some groceries in the blink of an eye, but slows down to merely "very fast" when doing superhero work.

>Lukewarm

Blast Tyrant can fire a beam of energy capable of splitting skyscrapers in half, even wielding it like a sword.

resigned from leading the super league after a hidden camera video of him saying he refused to let any niggers or spics serve on the super league. he is worshiped on /pol/.

lier lier.

He's called Luke. He maintains a constant healthy temperature regardless of surroundings. He can still suffocate through lack of oxygen in a fire though.

Shadow Boxer

A man with strong hydrokinetic abilities, but has the drawback of not being able to change the temperature to anything other than lukewarm, so no freezing or boiling opponents.

>Flyfist.

Flyfist's arms are home to a colony of unique flies that are linked to his mind. He acts as a living hive for them and he can control them, and sense what they sense, making him an excellent scout and harasser.

Rageaholic.

He was a world rebounded martial artist before an accident involving super science and an unlocked door turned him into a swarm on common houseflys.

Shadow boxer can animate someones shadow, animated shadows have no powers and are extremely hostile towards the person they come from.

the shadows size is determined by by how long the shadow is(sun overhead=weak shadow, sun on horizon= strong shadow, sun down= no shadow)

Can punch people via their shadows so long as his shadow connects to theirs. Also knows shaolin kung fu.

Has a friend who is a Master of the the Wu tang sword style.

She's a villain who uses a magical device. Stare into it, and it will capture your soul. Shadow Boxer can then use it to either puppetteer you, have it act as a ghost, or use as currency when dealing with diabolic forces.
A quirk of the device is that the shadow of the target will follow the soul and not the original body, and that any change made onto the soul will reflect on the shadow.

The villain's goal is to get enough souls in the box that her beloved, tricked by a devil to sell his soul, could use them to raise in the diabolic legions and then somehow reunite with her.

>Rageaholic.
He feeds on other people's anger, growing more powerful the angrier the people around him are. Unfortunately, this process also inebriates him, and too much anger can actually cause him to become functionally catatonic. The experience is also addictive, and if he's not careful, he can become physically dependent on other people's anger.

Lady Bang

The Situation.

A woman who can turn parts of her body into guns

Lady Bang is trained in the use of over 948 unique firearms, >800 of which are illegal under the current Geneva convention. She is currently looking for work as a mercenary assassin.

> A.T.M

Automated Terror Machine, a sentient semi-mechanical horror engineered by the brightest and most twisted terrorist minds on the planet. Its only two functions; obey the commands of its terrorist masters and kill without remorse.

>Lord Jammenstein

Filibuster

Gestalt, the many-man robot

By day, a simple barrister working in the Anti-Corruption Congressional Hearings.
But by night, he dons the legendary wig of George Washington, assuming the mantle of a true leader and gaining the powers that the once-great statesman himself had - a charisma powerful enough to charm any man, the ability to turn into a bald eagle and fly, the constitution to breathe radioactive acid, and elemental prowess to freeze any body of water so that four score and twenty men may cross it!
With these powers, he uses the privileged information he acquires in the courtroom to punish those evil-dooers in the Senate, charming the seductive but no-nonsense Rhonda Richards, Supreme Court Judge into draining the swamp!

Mr. Synapse

Monday Maniac

fuck yeah.

>Polygonina

A serial killer who only attacks on mondays, and on mondays becomes filled with incredible strength, rage, and hunger for lasagna.

An eldritch horror bound to the material plane in the form of a man by a powerful warlock eons ago. The arcane ward that holds his evil spirit in weakens every Monday since he was sealed in. It was prophesied that the ward will break after 666 thousand Mondays. It has been 665, 999 Mondays since the ward was cast.

Tomorrow is a Monday.

A robot designed to kill all humans, but is crippled by being a mainframe the size of a factory.
His masterplan was mass producing cars that released a "rage pheromone" into the driver's face once the speedometer exceeded 80km/ph, causing them to be involved in deadly car accidents.

Fortunately his plan was foiled by
Monseigneur Parvati, PhD.

Royal T

>peanut butter baron

Master magician by trade, her early experiences as a novice have made her dependent on using polygons as her spell foci. Simple spells fall under Triangle magic, while more complex ones are likely to be cast using octagons or nonagons.

The Memetic Magician, or Meme Mage for short

What can she do with three dimensional shapes?

Powerhouse

Powerhouse is a poltergeist that can fling around objects and gain further, temporary powers by absorbing electricity. With your average home's energy, he can do little more then the standard fare, but with a nuclear reactor's amount of juice he can crumple cars and disintegrate people.

Incidentally, she has a crippling fear of being trapped in three-dimensional containers. Years of n-dimension pranks in her school are responsible for her phobia.

Can temporarily make broken electronics function, and cause batteries to discharge at triple their voltage.

At first a noname repairwoman, an incident involving a robbery, 3 tasers, and an electric eel inspired her to use her powers for the benefit of all. Her hideout is a technological utopia that unfortunately does not function if she is not present, which rather turns off most mad scientists. Constantly receives anonymous gifts from fans who think she gets off on gadgets, in the hopes that she'll moonlight in pornos.

A golem of steel and purple yam, its body is composed of a unique alloy that grants it sapience, the ability to partially meld to other metals, and a slightly sweet ube flavor.

His arch-nemesis is Harrow Marrow, a skilled blood mage with a lethal yam allergy.

Heigh of the cold war, a soviet factory worker is forced to become a spy in the United States, he almost manages to steal secret nuclear codes, but falls into a vat of green atomic liquid stuff.

As he wakes up apparently alive, he realizes he has the power to grind the mental tissue of any human within 5 meters of him by telekinesis.

Super Hear-o

Jayne, go back cleaning Vera

Steam Punk

The Magic Negro

Can manipulate shadows and solidify them into solid objects. Makes his superhero suit on the fly out of that solid shadow and can fly while wearing it or grow weapons out of it - basically like Spawn, just not powered by Evil.

>Thoroughfair

A magical mesmerist who meddles with minds, modifying memories for mysterious malevolent motives.

Ivory Tower

Most people assume Veritas' power is a 'Truth Aura'. This is only partially correct.

Those around him must act true to themselves, actions and words. While this is a godsend for figuring stuff out, things can get out of hand. People cram parts of themselves into deep corners of their minds for a reason.

Cockbruiser
King Queen
The Basterd
Injun
Black Cog

Royal Flush

Everyday he gets to choose whether to stay himself or become one of the heroes in his Deck of Many Gods. He must perform a ritual to do this that takes about an hour and controls a very small amount of his own sentience, though it is enough to choose his own objectives like "stop robbery" or "save girlfriend".

Woman able to open portals to her own pocket dimension; The Ivory Tower. Also able to bring the ivory tower into the real world for short amounts of time. The Tower itself and all its rooms are under her own godlike control.

RagTorn

Tomorrow is a Monday isnt actually a super hero but is a man struck by fate. He has to keep reliving the same Sunday, which he dies at the end at of no matter what he does, never able to reach the next monday.

A small-time mage who made his living as a party performer, cantrips and charms enough to impress children at parties but little more. As he returns home with a meagre envelope of earnings and his overdue rent on the mind, he finds a tome in his backpack; the words are not in any language he learned, yet reading the runes somehow grants him greater and greater insight into the elementary nature of the universe itself.

Naturally within a week The Great Phantasmo is nowhere to be found, only a shambling creature overflowing with tainted magical energies, desperately clutching a tiny hard-back book and repeating its half-remembered name from eons forever past.

>Transistor.

Gina Comastia

A lawyer cursed by a leprechaun that he unknowingly respresented in court and lost.

Now he can never speak a lie, but has the power to enforce deals to the letter.

A machavellian villain with a flair for the dramatic. Whispers on the street tell of a handsome young hollywood stage-hand with an exceptional talent in smoke, mirrors and the art of pyrotechnics, on a one-way trip up the ladder. When one day a crate of prop explosives manufactured with minimal safety standards by Global Cogworks went up unexpectedly, it cost him his fine motor functions and his face.

To this day, he operates from the shadows, his face and his true origin masked behind a covering of rags, every calculated action a play in the great chess game that is revenge.

>Riptide

A big black hero, wears a small eye-mask and has his hair cut into a T-shaped mohawk (alter-ego wears a hat). Big purple cape with a fur lining.

>Stick shift

Is a pro race car driver. His car has the power to phase through walls.

Destructible Girl and Invertable Man.

Power Max

A rugged, determined upstart who initially rose to fame as a martial artist by partaking in numerous brutal underground cage matches. He doesn't seem to talk much, so people tend to assume he's just another aggressive strong-but-silent type who fights for the hell of it. In reality he wants to make the world a better place just as much as any other hero, and he believes the best way to fight crime is through fear. That's why he wants to become famous for his skills alone; so that once he starts fighting crime full-time, all the potential supervillains out there will be scared straight before they even begin their careers.

Riptide's superpower is his ability to sense the "motion" of energies around him. He can accurately measure the speed and power behind every punch, swing and projectile that comes his way allowing for perfect evasion and counterattacks. He can also detect and measure the power and direction of non-physical energies such as electricity and electromagnetic waves such as heat, though this feature is unknown to most people.

Lynchmann

The Acupuncher
>Haha get it, acupuncture?

15 year old superhero wannabe who saw his chance to fulfill his dreams when he accidentally rode his skateboard straight into an instance of ball lightning, somehow ending up with his powers.

Power Max's body can invoke instantaneous bursts of electricity that are accompanied by concentrated bursts of speed in certain areas. While he doesn't have straight-up lightning control or super speed, he can apply powerful electric shocks via direct contact, sending people and heavy objects flying on impact. He can also focus the ability on his arms to make his punches fly supernaturally fast and hit as hard as you'd expect from something with that much momentum. He can use it on his legs to immediately accelerate to his terminal velocity, giving him both immense jumping distance and instant acceleration when he needs that running start. And as the icing on the cake, his hands make excellent defibrillators.

Lynchmann is a heartless company director with the ability to manipulate people's anger and designate certain groups or individuals as focuses of people's anger. This power manifests in two equally terrifying abilities: Crowd Control and Public Enemy.

Crowd Control refers to Lynchmann's ability to redirect the collective hatred of any "mob" within his physical presence, such as protests or riots. As long as he is either inside the crowd or has the direct attention of a majority of its participants, he can change the focus of their outrage into whatever target he likes, from individual people to large corporations, to entire countries, or even to abstract concepts such as religion. This only works if the majority of participants are aware of (and believe in) the existence of the target; a crowd mostly consisting of atheists cannot be made to hate God, though they could be made to hate the concept of believing in God. This ability cannot increase or lessen the intensity of the crowd's collective hatred, merely redirect it. Crowd Control can technically be used on individuals, though Lynchmann would need to constantly have that person's attention as he cannot be "part of the crowd" in this context.

>cont.
Public Enemy is the ability to mark an individual who makes eye contact with Lynchmann. Marked individuals become focuses of hatred for anyone who looks at them or views an image or video of them, regardless of their previous attitude towards the person. With this power, Lynchmann can turn any popular figure into a public menace or drive an enemy to madness by making them the focus of their own family's anger. Why bother trying to kill a superhero when you can just destroy the people's faith in him instead? Public Enemy can only affect one target at a time. If a new person is marked, the attitudes towards the previous target return to what they were prior to their designation as a target. Like Crowd Control, Public Enemy only redirects anger - the anger focused on the target has to be taken away from whatever it was directed at before. Even if an individual has no anger at all, their attitude towards the target will be indifferent at the very least, even if they had strong positive feelings towards them before.

Lynchmann only ever uses his powers for personal profit and prefers to keep knowledge of them hidden. He mainly uses his abilities to destroy rival businesses and ruin individual opponents by turning both their friends and the public against them. It doesn't matter what the reason is, if Lynchmann doesn't like someone then they're reputation and self-esteem is going to come crashing down one way or another.
