Potent Pheromones

 TZpG7i6H_LA Pheromones are natural chemicals produced by species that create a social response from creatures of the same species. These chemicals act like hormones outside the body, which can affect the behavior of the receiving organism. Different types of pheromones exist, such as alarm, sex, food trail, and others that can affect behavior and physical body functions. It rather commonly found with insects but can also be found with some vertebrates, plants, and single-cell organisms. It is an element used in fiction where even some would have it as their superpower.

Potent Pheromones are a superpower where pheromones are emitted to induce an abnormal emotion or some form of physical response in another person. The typical example would be pheromones causing an intense infatuation with someone, usually a woman, having an effect that would lead to something close to Mind Control. The least intense examples of this ability would be a form of communication between members of the same species. The power can also be used to not only manipulate the emotions of a person but other's bodily functions. There are some odd instances where they can be used much like a weapon or a means of defense. The most extreme instance of this application would be to cause one's death much like a poison.

People with the Super Sense of smell (The Nose Knows) can be vulnerable to this power.
