I feel like the QM is trying to tell us voters something, but I can't seem to figure it out.
That said, I'm late to the vote, but I do want someone who can punch good since that's what the girls are asking for, but I also want a power set that compliments Rhys' history as a spy and intel officer. To that extent, I've decided to make my own plan that's focused on punching good and also Espionage.
[X] Plan:
Sucker Punch
-[X] DNA Profile 1: Outsider (Potency 4)
-[X] DNA Profile 2: Adamant (Potency 3)
-[X] DNA Profile 3: Daggermaw (Potency 1)
-[X] DNA Profile 4: Soldier X (Potency 1)
-[X] Potency Reduction: (-3 Potency)
-[X] Total Potency of Dose: 6
Sucker Punch
- Potency 4 (Outsider) + Potency 3 (Adamant) + Potency 1 (Daggermaw) + Potency 1 (Soldier X) - Potency 3 = 6
- 3x Transformation (Outsider, Adamant, Daggermaw,)
- 2x Enhanced Strength (Adamant, Daggermaw)
- 2x Regeneration (Adamant, Soldier X)
- 1x Enhanced Senses (Daggermaw)
- 1x Fitness (Soldier X)
- 1x Energy Manipulation (Outsider)
- 1x Invisibility (Outsider)
- Side Effect Chance:
- Major Side Effect: N/A
- Moderate Side Effect: N/A
- Minor Side Effect: 99-25
- No Side Effect: 24-1
As can be seen here, Sucker Punch guarantees the appearance of Transformation, and mostly likely will be accompanied by Enhanced Strength and Regeneration. This fulfills our criteria for a brick wall that can get up in someone's face and knock their lights out while being able to absorb punishment.
Not only that, but, I think there's some really interesting power interactions here. Adamant's Regeneration and Transformation is a fountain of liquid metal that he forms into his body. The Outsider's Transformation meanwhile, is energy that they sculpt and manipulate as they need.
I believe this particular interaction means that Rhys can freely manipulate his body of flesh/energy/metal into whatever shape and form he wants. Need to cut something open? His hand is now a sword. Gotta pick a lock? Strands of his hair becomes a key. Someone trying to fly away? He suddenly has a lasso.
Need to sneak into a place undetected? He can get a new face. Hell, he probably doesn't even need to stay a man if the situation calls for it. He can change shape into an elderly woman to
really throw someone off, or a ferocious animal if he needs to scare them away. Fool people into thinking he's dead? Just rearrange his body to look like it suffered fatal wounds, and when they look away, stand right back up and punch them in the back of the head!
Sucker Punch gives us someone who is not only a bruiser, but also an operative with quite a lot of utility to offer.
