Powers you'd never want
« on: May 10, 2015, 11:22:39 PM »
A list or brief description of powers or power sets you're glad did not exist in game.

I'll start
Spoiler for Hidden:
Rocket Ass; various posterior related powers with unpleasant poses and even more unpleasant animation sets.

Whip Spine: An effective weapon with nice reach and barbed to boot, but whilst your enemies won't be standing around to feel its effects something tells me that neither will its user :P

Demonic Halitosis- Sickening stench from your pie hole subdues all foes...and friends
It takes a village to raise a child. And it takes a villain to explain the value of lunch money.

Parasitic Control

Your bond with the various vermin that infest your body has grown so strong that you can manipulate them as a tool to plague your enemies. Including such powers as; Tape Worm Impale, where you send your own tape worm out across the ground to lung up into your opponents and root them in place. Ring Worm Hide, where you cause your enemies to grow thick ring worm across their body slowing them down and reducing their accuracy in combat. And Pubic Lice Swarm, a tier 9 pet that hinders and afflicts your enemies in various ways, but mainly by making them itch vigorously.

Team Jinx: self-explanatory.

Confuse Allie

If this was supposed to be Confuse Ally then I would have loved that power and used it more than any other power in the game on my friends. One of my favorite moments was during the Lord Recluse Strike Force, getting confused as the granite tank, turning to my best friend (our biggest damage dealer) who was NOT confused, and taunting him. We nearly team wiped that fight because I fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard at his response over Skype.
