Another Gorgon Thread!

Another Gorgon thread?????

This thread will deal with Gorgon's telepathic powers, assessing their extent through their showings, and proposing some new abilities accordingly.

Along with Telepathy, Gorgon should have Mind Manipulation for being able to perform telepathic attacks by controlling a person's worst memories to attack them their minds.

This extends beyond the purview of Telepathy, as he's directly manipulating the mind/memories of his enemy offensively, as opposed to just reading or transmitting them. As mentioned in the Telepathy page (and consistent for Marvel Telepathy as a mutant power), the ability is often intertwined with Mind Manipulation in various works, so along with the feat, this adds further consistency.

I also suggest Power Sharing and Energy Manipulation, given his (and every other psychic) being able to share psychic Energy with others to amp them. Pretty basic.

TL;DR: This

Telepathy (Gorgon is a moderate level telepath capable of reading minds[6], and wordlessly communicating with others[19]. Gorgon uses these powers in combat to predict his opponents moves, and torment them with their deepest insecurities[15])

Becomes:

Telepathy, Mind Manipulation, Memory Manipulation, Energy Manipulation and Power Bestowal (Gorgon is a moderate level telepath capable of reading minds[6], and wordlessly communicating with others[19]. Gorgon uses these powers in combat to predict his opponents moves, and torment them with their deepest insecurities[15]. Gorgon can additionally harness and share his psychic energy at will to aid other psychics)

I was gonna ask for scans but they're on the profile already. Does the scans for energy manip work for you? I've got a weird issue where some imgur scans just... don't for me so I dunno.

 

[Armorchompy]

Alright it works if I view it through a separate image viewer. The power is fine but I'd consider this just power bestowal, I don't think actual tangible energy is being shared.

Wdym by tangible energy?

I feel like even something like psychic energy should qualify for the "internal energies" the page describes, given how its literally just mental energy.

 

[Armorchompy]

By tangible I mean "it's actual energy". Like it has physical power, or something. I think "internal energy" on the page means something like chi or whatever, but still something with AP.

 

[Arcker123]

Thats odd. I've seen psychic energy of this sort indexed with energy manipulation several times so idk.

 

[Armorchompy]

There's a lot of poorly made/outdated profiles out there. Then again I could just not be aware that's a way it can be used

 

[Arcker123]

Yeah I think this context meets the power. But its whatevs

 

[Arcker123]

Is everything fine to apply?

 

[Godernet]

this seems fine to apply
