Unofficial Powers and Abilities Addition Thread (There is a continuation)

I know plot manipulation is kind of an established power here, but I think the name should be changed to "Fiction Manipulation", that way more abilities fall under the umbrella.
 
Lol. Talk to an admin about it. I thought it should stay at the time too for the exact same reason.

Because I questioned if Mind Control/Hypnotism should really fall under the same umbrella as mind destruction.

Edit: @Elizhaa

It used to be its own page.
 
I see: I am not sure if you guys can see the history: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Undelete/Mind_Control

Nevermind, ordinary users can't; Here was the last edits as a page:

Martian Manhunter vs Joker
Summary
Also called brainwashing or mind attack.

The user can control the minds of others. The user also can manipulate, modify and control the thoughts, mindsets, and upper brain functions. Such attacks often are used to destroy, shut down, control, or deceive an enemy´s mind.

It can cause the target to follow orders without resistance, implant memories, cause mental breakdowns, shut down the motor functions of the body and even completely destroy physically and mentally the target.

It looks like it was unnecessary when compared to Mind Manipulation in 2017

 
Currently we list projected slashes as Air Manipulation which seems less than optimal to me as that is a rather broad ability to just apply to the power of generating slashes of wind.

So I think having a page for Razor Wind or Air Slices, etc. would be a good idea. Obvious canditates would be the likes of Zoro, Mihawk, Serpico, Qrow Branwen, etc.

This would most replace Air Manipulation on their pages (except for Serpica as he has air manipulation separately from just slashing attacks).

I don't know about that, not all webs simply produce a sticky effect.

But having a seperate page for sticky abilities and listing webs as a potential use is fine.
 
Definitions can be modified. It does the same thing and the word adhesivity itself means the same thing being described.
 
It doesn't do the same thing. It includes ways of standing/walking on walls/ceilings that have absolutely nothing to do with stickiness, such as simply being able to "defy gravity".

On an unrelated note, how about a page for Supernatural Misfortune, as an opposite to Supernatural Luck. The Minuses from Medaka Box would count for this, and I'm sure many other characters would too.
 
It foes in the general sense of "makes stuff stick". Like I said, our own home-made definitions of powers can be broadened pretty easily.

That I'd agree to considering the other pairs of counter-part abilities (Darkness Manipulation/Light Manipulation, Matter Manipulation/Antimatter Manipulation and so on).
 
The adhesivity topic was covered in this thread, you should give it a read to see if it addresses your thoughts.
 
How about a page for "Damage mirroring"? For characters who can do things like damage a person by damaging their reflection/shadow/etc
 
The only reason it's even named Adhesivity is because I couldn't come up with a more appropriate title back then.

It's also supposed to be renamed and rewritten as discussed in the thread Agnaa linked.
 
Supernatural misfortune I would honestly just classify as probability manipulation.

Damage Mirroring I also think should get a page. Tho we might want to use a more inclusive name.
 
I'd personally like to see a page on Enhanced Eating (being able to eat inedible objects.) Characters like SCP-524 could use it and it has some advantages in battle.
 
I would like to raise the idea for the power Ability Creation or Power Creation.

While there are many characters who can create new abilities in the long term, this page would primarily apply to those who can make notably potent or distinct abilities on a shorter time frame. This would not refer to characters like Luffy generating new techniques and application mid fight, but more so to characters like Nen Users who can generate new Hatsu for themselves. On the low end it would be Nen Users, or perhaps characters like Orochimaru creating new Jutsu, and on the high end you would have characters like Hanten Shiranui. Certain characters with high level reality warping or matter manipulation could likely grant themselves new abilities via their old powers, (like I am fairly sure Molecule Man could give himself super strength if he ever wanted to) but we would have to decide if that falls under the same catagory or just an application of their already existing powers.

Obviously this can hit NLF real fast so we should make sure we say that characters can only create new abilities on the same level or type that they already have.
 
Not even close. Modification is the changing of an already existing power, where as power creation is the generation of a completely new power.

Or for a character example of the difference:

Power Modification is Shiranui Hansode's Real Eater, the skill that modifies skills.

Power Creation is Hanten Shiranui's skill that creates skills
 
Then that's power modification, and not power creation, and thus has nothing to do with what we are discussing. If he did create a new power with no relation to an already existing power, then that shouldn't be power modification.

From the description of them, it seems that he just used his reactive evolution to amp his superhuman senses
 
As said above, "Body Control is already Self-Body Control, and these sub-abilities aren't worthy of being abilities on their own"

Body Control is controlling your own body. Doing it to someone else is biological manipulation.

No, that's just one application. Gamma Radiation in Marvel generally works the way you described, with people gaining new powers based on their psyche.
 
I mean, what I'm saying is they fit in with it now, as it's just modification to a already existing set of powers. Even new Hatsu sounds like it comes from Nen, so it would just be a modification to Nen powers.
 
No, creating a Hatsu is not a modification on Nen powers. It is them creating a new Nen ability based on a certain set of rules or gained properties.

Also, "modifying" a power set to create a new power is just... creating a new power. If I "modify" Superman's power set to give him mind hax, then that is just giving him mind hax. Power Modification is the changing of an already existing power, not of a power set.
