Combo-Platter Powers: Difference between revisions

'''Col. O'Neill:''' How do those two go together?|''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' }}

 

 

This can happen through accretion, as with [[Superman]]; as a deliberate change to the character, like the [[Fantastic Four|Invisible Woman]]; or even at creation, like the [[Martian Manhunter]]. Sometimes there will be a [[Hand Wave]] as an off-hand explanation ("Secondary mutation", anyone?) or a later [[Retcon]] to explain how the powers actually work together; other times, it just happens. The most common set is the [[Flying Brick]].

This does ''not'' include abilities gained by learning them or some other method of choosing them, as something that can be learned is only random if the ''character'' wants to learn it random things. This means most magical abilities are excluded.

 

 

{{examples}}

** '''Sharingan''' (the regular ones are based on sight/perception/analysis, but the [[Deadly Upgrade]]'s powers are all kinds of crazy, {{spoiler|including hypnosis, setting things ablaze with immortal flames, and '''[[Reality Warper|bending reality at will.]]''' Also, with [[Applied Phlebotinum|Senju DNA]], an Uchiha gains the Rinnegan's powers as well}}).

** '''Rinnegan''' (become an [[Instant Expert]], use all five [[Elemental Powers]] when no one else can, see chakra, {{spoiler|summon an [[Eldritch Abomination]] that lets you animate six human bodies with their own unique power, and summon the being that has control over life and death}}), and the ones with them can still learn other regular techniques.

* ''[[Kamen no Maid Guy (Manga)|Kamen no Maid Guy]]'': Kogarashi has [[New Powers As the Plot Demands]], most of them completely unrelated. In addition to the standard super-strength, inhuman toughness, super-speed and the ability to defy gravity with jumping, he has a paralyzing voice, x-ray vision, levitation, [[Prehensile Hair]], the ability to hypnotize people even without direct eye contact, hands that can evaporate all liquid from anything he rubs on, 37 senses (don't ask), knowledge of every gourmet recipe ever made, the ability to summon and direct underwear-stealing crows, and USB connectivity in his brain. For starters.

* ''[[Noein (Anime)|Noein]]'': The Dragon Knights have: [[Nigh Invulnerability]], [[Intangible Man|the ability to walk through walls]], enhanced perception of time, teleportation. Most of them have some form of energy blast and a secondary [[Personality Powers]] set.

** '''Marrow''': mutation is to have bone weapons growing out of her body, a healing factor to survive said outgrowth and for unknown reasons pink hair and skin. She also has two hearts... to explain how she could be stabbed in one and be back later when she goes the way of all dead mutants.

** '''Rogue''': the power and [[Life Energy]] absorption, and used to have the [[Flying Brick]] package permanently absorbed from Ms. Marvel. For a time, she had Sunfire's flames-and-flight combo. Even more recently, Rogue has gained voluntary control over her absorption along with the ability to recall any and/or all of the powers she has absorbed in the past.

** ''[[Superman]]'': His original powers were mainly exaggerations of normal human abilities; in the first story, simply because he was from an older planet and more "[[Evolutionary Levels|highly evolved]]" than us mere mortals. Later this was [[Retcon|Retconned]] as from being born on a world with high gravity and a thick atmosphere. Around the same time, [[Power Creep, Power Seep]] caused [[In a Single Bound|Super Leaping]] to become [[Flight]]. Later [[X-Ray Vision]] split off [[Eye Beams|heat vision]], and so on.

* ''[[Superboy]]'': Conner Kent and Chris Kent a.k.a. Nightwing have Kryptonian powers ''and'' tactile telekinesis. Chris' girlfriend Thara Ak-Var aka Flamebird has Kryptonian powers ''and'' [[Playing With Fire|pyrokinesis]].

* ''[[Sub-Mariner|Namor the Sub-Mariner]]'': has everything you'd expect from a being built to survive underwater: strength enough to survive ocean pressure, agility and speed to swim quickly and efficiently... and tiny wings on his ankles that allow him to fly, making him a [[Flying Brick]]. This last was eventually explained as a mutation caused by his [[Half-Human Hybrid|surface-dweller/Atlantean hybrid]] heritage. Thus he's considered one of the first mutants of the modern age in the [[Marvel Universe]].

* ''[[Martian Manhunter]]'': [[Super Strength]], [[Intangible Man|intangibility]], [[Shapeshifting]], [[Size Shifting]], [[Psychic Powers|telepathy]], [[Super Speed]], [[Eye Beams|heat ray vision]], the ability to strain gold from seawater, the ability to create ice cream cones with the power of his mind, the power to animate clothing, underwater breathing, and control over magnetism. Oh, and fire is his [[Kryptonite Factor]]. Yes, ''even though'' he has heat vision. And the explanation for all this? He's Martian. That's it. The more ridiculous powers (ie everything after heat vision) have been mostly dropped in recent years. In his [[Justice League|cartoon incarnation]], his powers are strength, flight, intangibility, shape-shifting and telepathy.

* ''[[Fantastic Four]]'': Susan Storm, who started out with just invisibility, then gained force field powers to allow her a more active role in the stories. A much later [[Retcon]] claimed that her invisibility was actually an instinctive use of the forcefield to distort light around her. Johnny Storm also has the [[Flying Firepower]] set, and is over on that page.

* ''[[Comic Book/Danger Man|Danger Man]]'' (nee [[Sue Donym|Dan Jermain]]) was a hapless worker in a nuclear plant who was caught in an industrial accident that made him bigger, stronger, and more powerful. And also gave him energy blasts, the ability to breathe underwater, and he can have a meltdown if he gets angry. His head and hands glow and have little spheres orbiting around them, atom-style. Although he's also a huge subversion of the whole "radiation accident" origin; He's not a superhero. He's still a hapless worker in a nuclear plant, but now when he rolls over in bed he crushes his wife, tears his clothes up with one false move because he's so strong, and gets stared at on the subway because of how obvious his situation is.

* ''[[Static (Comic Book)|Static]]'': almost anything as long as it can be given a [[Hand Wave|vague connection]] to [[Lightning Can Do Anything|electromagnetism]]. Including listening to CD's without a player.

* ''[[Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|The Hulk]]'': He has [[Super Strength]], is [[Nigh Invulnerable]], can create a stunning sonic boom with his hands, [[Healing Factor|regenerates]], okay, all fit sort of with the "unstoppable force of rage" idea. However, two other, lesser-known powers: he can see, and HIT, ghosts and astral projections, and can home in on the site where the gamma bomb that created him went off. And [[Super Intelligence|supermath]]. The ability to automatically reduce collateral damage when levelling down entire cities. Officially, this is explained as Bruce being a 'hypermind', able to analyze and predict the consequences of his actions near-instantaneously. Hulk is also highly resistant to telepathy and mind control(it's mentioned that he was the only one who wasn't effected by the [[Cosmic Retcon]] that wiped out everyone's memory of the Sentry, and neither [[X Men|Professor X or Emma Frost]] can [[Mind Rape]] him), occasionally capable of absorbing radiation, and has limited reactive adaptation. He's shown adapting to being able to breath under water and survive for a fairly considerable time in the vacuum of space (while still needing to breath eventually). [[Ultimate Marvel|Ultimate Hulk]] takes it a step further, adapting to the atmospheres of Mars and Venus after limited exposure.

* ''[[Spider-Woman (Comic Book)|Spider-Woman]]'': Mattie Franklin, one of the numerous heroines (and villains) who goes by the name. has the powers of [[All Your Powers Combined|all of them]]. This includes powers such as: Strength and agility, flight, energy blasts, some low-level psychic powers, psychic webs, psychic spider-legs... Logically she should also have Jessica Drew's pheromone powers, but they were never demonstrated.

== Films -- Animation ==

* ''[[The Incredibles]]'':

 

 

** '''Bowser''': As of [[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story (Video Game)|Bowser's Inside Story]], Bowser has [[Super Strength]], [[Breath Weapon|fire breath]], [[Big Eater|inhaling enemies and food]], and the ability to [[Selective Gravity|momentarily defy gravity]] letting him [[Grievous Harm With a Body|body slam]] and use the momentum of his punches to fly over gaps. Within the series, he also uses dark magics.

** '''Wario''' in the ''[[Wario Land (Video Game)|Wario Land]]'' series. His transformations range from the somewhat normal (on fire, flat, etc) to somewhat odd (become a vampire, zombie, invisible, frozen) to the completely insane (head puffs up like a balloon to float to various areas, dizzy/drunk Wario in ''[[Wario Land (Video Game)|Wario Land]] 3'' and the weird hats in the first game allowing a head mounted jetpack or flamethrower).

* If Shepard asks Thane about his beliefs in ''[[Mass Effect 2 (Video Game)|Mass Effect 2]],'' one of the deities Thane reveals he prays to is Kalahira, Goddess of Oceans and the Afterlife.

{{quote| '''Shepard:''' Oceans and Afterlife don't seem to have much in common. <br />
