So, I'm trying to think up a special power for my main character, I want it to be something that on the surface looks stupid or useless, but by practicing with it and thinking about it he can pull of some crazy awesome stuff.
So far, some other characters & powers I have include;
A girl who can heal and buff, using these to give her superstrength.
A guy that can see... stuff through a camera lense, it works a bit wonky but generally shows him whatever he needs to see.
A guy that can do pretty much anything... provided he has the money for it. (Think general magic using money as mana, very versitle but not as individually powerful as a more specific gift)
A guy with... a very powerful gift, I still need to think more about it, maybe turning into light? This guy starts out as a decent guy but ends up being the big bad.
For my main character, I want him to be the type of guy that uses his head to deafeat his opponents, leaving the brute smashy stuff to his partner, the white magic girl.
Some options I've considered include;
-Creating... stuff. At it's most basic he can create swords or other simple objects without many moving parts, complicated objects are harder, and he cand adjust the parameters of the object, making the objects he creates soft or transparent, this is my original idea, but I'm worried it maybe to heroic.
-Manipulating the weight / density of himself and things he touches. This gives him a pesudo- superstrength effect by making say, a car weigh as much as a feather. But I'm afraid that falls under his partner's bailiwick.
-Manipulating heat. There was a part of one of the Dresden Files story where Harry pulls the heat from one mook, freezing them, then tossing it at another mook as a fireball. That really resonated with me. He could heat stuff, freeze stuff, create mirages, manipulate the weather (to a limited extent) etc, and so on.
-Creating barriers. Let's him well, create barriers, invisible mazes, swords, pressess... lots of stuff.
-Teleportation. Well, besides moving himself and others, he can shoot high pressure blasts of water or lava, utterly destroy something by teleporting it everywhere at once, bit too game-breakery though.
I'm currently liking the barrier warrior idea, but what do you guys think? Do you have any other suggestions for otherwise lame powers?
