Project Prometheus (Original Setting Superhero Quest)

[Zetakille]

@Bitterman Are you CERTAIN it's a Potency 8 combination, and not a Potency 9? Because I think I found an absurdly synergistic combination that is Potency 9. Crimson Soprano + Dragonsteeth + The Outsider is some genuinely ridiculous levels of Energy Manipulation with relatively little downsides. CS's sunlight limitation goes out the window when you can just use the energy of your own body, and the limited control over the Dragonsteeth constructs is also mitigated by the high levels of control that The Outsider has over their own energy, which the constructs would likely be made out of. I'm not gonna put it in a plan, because less than 2 hours isn't enough for it to overtake the current frontrunner, I don't think.

I had a same vein of thought but didnt establish it since it went above 8. But yeah Hypernovae is the most likely to win.

 

[Derpmind]

This is a very good one, not gonna lie.

Also, I'll say it now since the front runners are pretty well decided, there is an absolutely *busted* combination for only 8 in here that I left clues for. I wonder if anyone saw them?

I'm going to guess this is a ploy to encourage more creative combos that it's Steadfast + Adamant + Dragonsteeth. If Dragonsteeth's constructs could be made of adamant, they'd be immensely more durable - and since Adamant's power made his body turn into said material, perhaps Steadfast's invincibility would also extend to these constructs as well. Steadfast+Adamant is already excessive amounts of super-durability, but an entire group of constructs that are invincible could take on entire teams of villains.

My other guess is just Deadman and Adamant. Turning into liquid metal would activate Deadman's abilities, and while Adamant was limited to creating said metal directly from his body, Deadman could summon magma from the ground - perhaps combining them would allow for far more flexible and capable adamant creation and control, in addition to combining two of the strongest defensive powers. Edit: Missed this one from earlier, sorry.

QM confirmed that isn't it.

Those are all great! That's also not the secret combo.

These three supers are all related by blood. You might be on to something with this one.

…we've done so much planning for the 9-5 Tolerance range that Rhys or whoever our next candidate will be will probably have an entire buffet of Ambrosia options.

It was these three.

 

[Kermie]

Praying for a good roll.

Kermie threw 1 100-faced dice. Reason: OH GOD Total: 86

 

[Kermie]

…of course.

 

[Bitterman]

Okay, now major side effect it is. Now I need a d20.

 

[Kermie]

someone else do it, I'm scared

I would point out the "Total Potency of Dose" bit on the winning plan was calculated wrong? It should have been 8 instead of 10, as it was 11 Total Potency before the 3 Reductions. Not sure if that changes anything?

 

[Bitterman]

Update tonight if I can squeeze it out. My daughter is teething like crazy, so no promises.

So we made a Goku lite, if we get more keywords relating to strength and invulnerability we can make Saitama!

For whatever reason, the vote omitted including Steadfast, which was the difference between Hypernovae and Unquenchable Star.

.......Mr. Kermie please keep AHA in your side of the universe. AKA, WHERE WERE THESE ROLLS WHEN WE SEARCHED FOR AKEMI! *ahem* carry on. Also the QM laughing maniacally feels me with Dread.

No, trust me, this rules. Ruuuules. If you knew what it was you'd swear I weighted the dice. I forgot I put this on the table!
