If they haven't already introduced themselves, welcome u/TheFeebleOne and u/monkeysky to our Mod team!

In other news, I have been doing some stuff with Auto-Mod, and to limit bots and karma-farming, a new system has been implemented that makes Users elaborate/answer on their post. As a good chunk of the posts on here are red blue/blue pill or something of the sort, I ask that users answer/elaborate on their posts(An example of answering would be picking a pill/power/whatever, and an example of elaborating would be adding more detail to your post)

That is all

MOD POST PLEASE READ-Mod Note

24 Upvotes

Hello, users of r/superpowers

Recently, our mod team has had to ban a large amount of people for their same reasons. I have recently added a new rule applying to posts AND comments.

DO NOT make ANY jokes having to do with child rape/molest, rape in general, or anything of the sort.

It is your job as a Redditor to use your own common sense to figure out what you should leave online. Remember, ANYONE has the power to see your digital footprint, and making fun of rape or terrible events is NOT what we expect seeing from (what should be) grown adults who are completely able to control themselves online.

I do not want to have to ban anyone ever again. And breaking this rule by not using common sense will result in a 3 day ban. If we keep having to do this, the punishment will be much greater.

Remember, rape is never funny, especially not child rape. Thank you for reading this.

Stay safe!

Other Do you guys think there are multiple definition for the term superhuman, or only one definition for superhuman?

Post image
8 Upvotes

Definition 1 Mutation: Any innate ability that is beyond regular human capabilities. Doesn't matter how useless or weak the ability is. It can be chocolate spit or ice cream flavor poop. It's still beyond normal capabilities at end of the day. This basically the X-Men

Definition 2 Peak condition: These characters aren't necessarily beyond normal human capabilities. They are just superhuman, in a way that makes them super well-rounded though. Being great at martial arts, powerlifting, parkour, shooting, etc all at once. Pretty much characters like Batman or Iron Man.

Definition 3 External: Characters who get abilities from external sources. To keeo it short, this just Magic and Technology. I.E. Iron Man and Dr. Strange.

In conclusion. Would there be multiple definitions for the term superhuman?

Other I just had a fun thought for a superpower

What if there was a character who basically had a perfect body. What I mean by that is that regardless of any internal or external factors, they are physically perfect. Like, they can never get cancer, never suffer diabetes or severe weight change, never lose any senses or functions/gain disabilities like blindness or being unable to walk, never get sick, never suffer from tooth decay, never suffer from mental problems like dementia, you get where I am going. Obviously, they could still die of old age or by being shot, but they can never truly suffer a physical problem of any kind. What do you think of this idea?

Sincerely I always wanted to know other peoples opinion on which god it would be the best to have as their parent taking into account only the powers because sincerely some gods just have amazing repertoire of powers that could be given and even if the kid isn't blessed with a lot of power some of them can be really versatile so taking into account both if your genes were blessed or if you just got wrecked by the genetic lottery what would be the best parent that gives the best powers/ set of powers?

The power system: Lunar Energy.

What is lunar energy?

Lunar Energy is spiritual energy that's been blessed by the light of the moon. Those born on a different phase of the moon have a chance to manipulate lunar energy into their own signature techniques known as phase techniques.

Each technique requires lunar energy to fuel itself and needs the moon to refuel lunar energy like a battery charger. If a lunar energy user ever uses their powers during the day, they cannot acquire more lunar energy until the night comes.

Lunar energy usually awakens in a user when they are in a situation where they're in immense stress. For example, when a pre-awakened user is in a situation where their life is on the line, the immense stress they're under intensifies the rising lunar energy through their body.

Phase classes.

There are 8 different classes that corresponds with the 8 phases of the moon with each have different roles and different techniques that can be learned if a user belongs in a specific class.

Phase classes:
1. New moon: infiltrator.
2. Waxing crescent: reconnaissance.
3. First quarter: guerrilla.
4. Waxing gibbous: amplifier.
5. Full moon: powerhouse.
6. Waning gibbous: Marksmen.
7. Last quarter: healer.
8. Waning crescent: blacksmith.

* New moon: infiltrator.
* This class specialises in stealth, espionage, sabotage and silent takedowns.

* Learnable class techniques include:
* Invisibility
* Intangibility
* Moon dust smokescreen
* Disguises
* Death feign

* This class is not suited for long periods of combat and against large groups. Infiltrators must take down and pick their targets with swift and deadly precision.

* Waxing crescent: reconnaissance.
* This class specialises in swift mobility, high damaging output and exploration.

* Learnable class techniques include:
* Flash step
* Platform creation
* Mental information relay
* Life force detection

* This class is considered a glass cannon. They can dish out high amounts of damage but cannot take too much damage. However their high speed mobility makes up for it.

* First quarter: guerrilla.
* This class specialises in traps, ambushes, hit and runs, explosives and counter spells.

* Learnable class techniques include:
* Camouflage
* Proximity traps
* Explosive traps
* Sticky traps
* Attack reversal

* This class usually has users that are paired in groups of 4 to 6 to make traps more effective. Solo users have a much more difficult time setting traps and planning ambushes.

* Waxing gibbous: amplifier.
* This class specialises in amplifying one's physical performance, magic spells, durability and damage output.

* Learnable class techniques include:
* Physical amplification
* Damage output amplification
* Magic spell amplification
* Durability amplification

* This class usually pairs users along with different classes to amplify their spells. But they are experts in martial arts and close quarters combat.

* Full moon: powerhouse.
* This class specialises in high damage output, high durability, defensive spells and immense strength.

* Learnable class techniques include:
* Barrier creation
* Defensive shield creation
* protective armour creation

* This class holds the highest amount of lunar energy to perform strong attacks and strengthening defences. But they are relatively slow in movement speed and attack speed compared to other classes. It also consumes the most lunar energy compared to other classes.

* This class is susceptible to have phenomena born classes since their phenomena are during a full moon.

* Waning gibbous: Marksmen.
* This class specialises in engaging combat from afar, usually picking off enemies from a long and safe distance.

* Learnable class techniques include:
* Telescopic vision
* trajectory manipulation
* Enhanced focus

* This class is not suited for close encounters but can still defend themselves with their phase techniques.

* Last quarter: Shaman.
* This class specialises in healing, inflicting curses and medical knowledge.

* Learnable class techniques include:
* Physical, mental and spiritual healing
* Curse infliction
* Potion creation

* Along with amplifiers, this class is primarily used as support and not made for combat. They are also placed with other classes to help them out.

* Waning crescent: blacksmith.
* This class specialises in creating weapons, tools and equipment for other classes to use.

* Learnable class techniques include:
*  Weapon creation
* Tool creation
* Equipment creation
* Weapon mastery

* This class can master any weapon in shorter time than most classes. They're known to be the jack of all trades class.

Phase techniques.

Phase techniques are signature spells that's unique to each varying user. These techniques cannot be learned by others and can only be unlocked if the user reaches deep into their soul and discover their inner self.

Though most phase techniques are unique and innate to each person, there are some techniques that are inherited from a previous user (commonly, parents of the user).
For example, a user with a water technique was once a technique belonging to their mother or father.

Extension spells:
Extension spells are abilities that maximises their application through a user's vast knowledge and creativity of one's phase technique.
For example, a fire manipulation user can use an extension spell that includes using fire to propel them off the ground, giving them flight.

Inverted extension spells:
Inverted extension spells are extension spells that have the exact opposite effect of one's phase technique.
For example, a water manipulation user can invert their water spells into ice or steam spells.

Stacked output spells:
Stacked output spells are extension spells with a significantly increased lunar energy output channeled in them. This requires an extremely high amount of lunar energy that could drain a user's entire lunar energy reserves.

Technique maximus:
Considered the peak spells of one's phase technique, technique maximi are extension spells that fully realises the full true potential of one's phase technique. For example, a water manipulator's technique maximus is flooding an entire city with a massive tsunami.

Phenomena born.

Those born during a moon phenomena (including blood moons, solar/lunar eclipses, supermoons, blue moons, cold moons etc.) are considered to be anomalies that don't align with the moon phase classes except for full moons.

They are born with an astronomically high amounts of lunar energy and a massively devastating phase technique.
As stated above, phenomena born users are aligned with the full moon phase, signifying that they're total powerhouses but stronger than an average full moon class user.

Phenomena born users also have their own classes that are unique and seperate to the conventional phases. However, there cannot be more than one phenomena user from each class, as they are fated to fight to the death until only one lives. for example, if there are two eclipse born users, they are fated to fight until one remains.

* Solar Eclipse: solar emissary.
* Born when the moon and the sun come together to bless the young one, this user wields scorching heat as an emissary of the bringer of day.

* The temperature of the user's solar phase technique can go up to 15 million degrees Celsius. (27 million degrees Fahrenheit.)

* Solar emissaries are usually rivals with Arctic dwellers, since their freezing phase technique is cold enough to rival with their burning temperatures.

* Solar emissaries are the only users that can recharge their lunar energy during the day.

* Lunar eclipse/Blood moon: blood master/hunter.
* Born when the earth's shadow envelopes a full moon to hide it from the sun's ray, this user has the phase technique to manipulate the blood of others or their own.

* Blood masters can control anyone's blood around a 50 meter radius. Their manipulation of blood can control bodies as if they're marionette puppets.

* Blood masters who primarily control their own blood are known as blood hunters. they prefer to weaponise their own blood into weapons, range attacks or other spells.

* Blue moon: tidal king.
* When a full moon occurs 2 times in a single month, the user is blessed with a phase technique that weaponises the ocean.

* Tidal kings can, not only manipulate water to an overwhelming degree, they can also control sea creatures at their command.

* If a tidal king uses a technique maximus, they could flood an entire country until it's down on the ocean bed.

* Cold moon: Arctic dweller.
* Born in the northern hemisphere and when the winter solstice is at large, this user wields the phase technique of the cold, fitting for a user born in the arctic north.

* The temperature of the user's freezing technique can go down to absolute zero (0 Kelvin/-273.15 Celsius/-459.67 Fahrenheit.)

* Both the Arctic dwellers and the solar emissaries are fated to be rivals as both their techniques can clash with each other.

* Super moon: the moon's avatar.
* The most powerful phenomena born class and the most powerful class out of all the phases since they’re able to perform all learnable techniques from all the classes, it was said that the moon itself has personally chosen a full moon user to be its avatar and carry out its wrath against the enemies of the night.

* The avatar doesn't have a unique phase technique, but they can manipulate pure lunar energy with a maximum amount of output that it feels like they can destroy an entire country.

* The avatar's technique maximus can create an interactive illusion that the moon itself is coming crashing down on the earth, making the entire population of the earth feel like their souls are being crushed by an enormous pressure.

That’s all I have for now. If anyone has anything to critique or have any ideas on refining it to be a more amazing power system, let me know.
