* Quite a number of characters in the [[Whateley Universe]]. [[Power Incontinence]] is more common in the [[Whateley Universe]] than in other superhero universes -- as are [[Body Horror]] side effects of powers. So you might gain the [[Most Common Superpower]] -- but at the same time, you might shift into a [[Half Human Hybrid]], something out of a horror movie, or a perfectly ordinary human -- of the wrong gender. You might gain some sorta standard superpower... but be missing the [[Required Secondary Powers]].
** The titular school has an entire residence set aside for students whose powers make them dangers to themselves or others, such as the most powerful psychic in the world -- who looks like something Lovecraft would have thought up during an absinthe bender. Or maybe the kids who constantly emit toxins, or [[Love Potion|LovePotions]], or radiation. Or how about the cute little girl who has so much [[Super Strength]] that she could probably juggle the hulk -- but can't control it at all, meaning a casual hug could destroy steel. And that's assuming they even survive long enough to have their powers start to suck -- "Burnout," fatal or near fatal side effects of superpower use, is common enough that it's a constant threat even for fully grown, trained mutants.
