Combo-Platter Powers/Playing With: Difference between revisions

* '''Exaggerated''': Amazing Girl has [[Super Strength]], prehensile hair, [[Invisibility]], teleportation, the ability to [[Flight, Strength, Heart|sense the emotions of cats]], and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|changes her eye color at will]]. This is explained by "she's a Venusian."

* '''Justified''':

** Amazing Girl's powers were bestowed by a group who chose them on the basis of utility rather than thematic coherence.

** Amazing Girl is actually a Gadgeteer who gets her [[Super Strength]] from her costume, and the prehensile hair is actually a wig she made after a lab accident rendered her bald.

** Amazing Girl's only power is actually telekinesis, but it's limited to her own body. She discovers she can use it to add strength far beyond her own muscle mass, or move her hair around.

* '''Inverted''':

** Amazing Girl only has one major power (and quietly, the [[Required Secondary Powers]] to make it work properly.)

* '''Subverted''': Amazing Girl seems to have a nonintuitive set of powers, but it turns out the rest of the Justice Team has been using their abilities to make it seem like she has all these wacky powers as a [[Batman Gambit]] to fool Emperor Evulz into considering her more of a threat than she actually is.

* '''Double Subverted''': But the experience leaves her with at least one genuine new power that doesn't fit in with her others.

* '''Deconstructed''': The very different manifestations of Amazing Girl's power are due to an instability in her mutant DNA. If she's exposed to any further triggers, she's as likely as not to suffer a [[Superpower Meltdown]]. Worse, the powers actively interfere with each others' operation, so Amazing Girl is much less effective than if she just had one power.

* '''Reconstructed''': Amazing Girl still finds a way to optimise her power use for the situation, despite the interference, and becomes on par with her fellow heroes this way.

* '''Averted''': The rules of this superhero universe require all powered beings to have a properly unified theme to their powers.

* '''Enforced''': "You'll have to roll for Amazing Girl's powers on the random generation chart, just like everyone else in this game did."

* '''Conversed''': "Sometime it seems like Amazing Girl's writer is just [[Ass Pull|making up whatever power he needs to end the story.]]"
