Just so long as you know that if the attackers are mages, they have to be without Barrier Jackets to be under the Stranger's effect.

Huh, that might change things for me. I'll think on this more and maybe change my vote.

This is why I asked. If the history of this quest has taught me anything, it's that if there are a bunch of options and people have asked questions about all of them EXCEPT the one in the lead, I need to assume that you guys have assumed something that's probably wrong.

For the hard light constructs, how tough are they? I'd assume bulletproof for the standard pistols and rifles, but armour piercing rifle bullets, close range shotgun blasts, and Taylor's favourite, RPG's can all smash them?
For the explosive mines, are they more omnidirectional explosion or shaped charges?
For the serpentine creations, could someone safely ride around inside one?

I wouldn't say bulletPROOF, but they'll take a few bullets before they go up in smoke. They are entirely replaceable, though, and the bigger they are, the tougher they are.
Depends on which one you want.
Inside? No. On top of? The bigger ones, yeah.

Ooh, good idea!
Actually, could we make parts of a T-Rex that work together? Like a giant lego set?

It would be a very small pack. And at that point, do you really want a T. rex or just one of the other theropods that actually has useful arms?
There wouldn't be much point to the size restriction if you could do that, now would there?

Just a thought: How many constructs could be active at once? And is the size limit for each constructs, or do all constructs together have to be not bigger than a car?
Give or take: there's some play there, with Sveta (I think? Might've been Shamrock) accusing Cauldron of taking her without consent, just because she was going to die. But there's enough plausibility that they were wrong, and Alexandria could just be misleading here and ignore that bit of info (which is basically how it went in canon if I remember correctly).

Four constructs active at once. The size limit is for each construct.

It's a dollar store Green Lantern Ring!
See, this guy gets it.
Utah Raptors, AKA "Jurassic Park Velociraptors"
See, even the number is just right to have the pack of raptors from The Lost World.

The thought I had regarding it was a combination of identifying targets without alerting them, such as with WAS, and hit and run tactics where the enemies keep losing track of the parahuman while the allies don't have to worry about forgetting where s/he is and hitting 'em by accident. My biggest reason not to pick this vial is that it doesn't seem entirely suited for the most likely candidate we have, Jujak. It seems like a power that would synergize readily with the existing power armor Tim has already made, reducing the need for him to make more gear.
The degree of utility for the hard light constructs really appeals to me on a different level. A Green Lantern ring is really high on my list of power sets I'd want personally. @Silently Watches How realistic are the constructs?
That my first choice has very few votes is leading me to reconsider, but it's just so hard to choose.
[ ] Force people to ignore the cape and up to two others whose hands they're holding
Because nobody else is questioning the power that everyone's jumped on let me think to see if we're getting what everyone assumes.
1) Does this force the affected beings to ignore the outcomes of actions taken by the power holder/their affected allies? IE if the power holder shot a gun would everyone ignore the bullet hitting something or would they suddenly realize that there's someone shooting a gun and potentially the presence of a stranger because of this? And if so how far does "Ignore" stretch? Would an affected target be able to point a gun towards the power user and fire knowing that a gun was fired from that direction a second ago?
2) Does this power have a max range and if so how big? Is a informed Sniper a hard counter here or how about someone standing 100 feet away with clear sightlines?
3) Does it work over computers/other tech? If not this power is practically useless against anyone aware of the power holder with any prep time. Even just grabbing a camcorder and holding it to your eye would counter them.
4) Is it limited by line of sight? If so what happens when an affected being passes out of sight? Do they realize there was a being doing strange things that they didn't register while they were there? Same thing for if there's a range limit.
5) Is there a time limit for how long the cape can keep their power up? If so how long? If there is is the time limit altered by having more people covered by her power? IE if the Power holder is holding hands with 2 people will their power drop faster than if it was just themselves? If there is a time limit is it affected by how many people the user is hiding from or is 1 person the same as 100 as far as the power in concerned?
6) Does this work on animals or other non human organics?
7) Going back to some of the previous points if camera's do bypass the power/if there is a range limit if an affected person has a Watchtower/Oracle type person speaking to them via radio or the like could that person order them "Point your gun north and open fire" and have the cape gunned down that way?

It looks like serpents won't win, so I'll go with my second-favorite of the options.

It affects the cape, not the actions. If the cape shoots somebody, everybody nearby is going to see that somebody got shot.
It isn't so much a range thing. It's that when the power is on, nobody is going to pay attention if they see the cape. This is not a memory overwrite like Aisha's canon power.
The cape can be recorded. This is a telepathy-based power, and telepathy won't affect basic, normal cameras.
There's no hard limit, but it will shut off when the cape is asleep or unconscious.
No.
It's an "Ignore me" power, not an "I'm bulletproof" power.

I wonder if we'll get to see Parahumans with the unchosen powers start to pop up later...
