'''Potent Pheromones''' are a superpower that uses one's natural chemicals to induce an abnormal emotional or physical response in another person. The typical example would be [[Smells Sexy|pheromones causing an intense desire for a person]], usually a woman, having an effect that would lead to something close to [[Mind Control]]. However, this power can go beyond merely brainwashing someone into becoming a lovestruck pawn happy to do their master's bidding: more creative uses of pheromones can include using them to mark a target to unleash hordes of bugs or other creatures on, poisoning people or otherwise making them violently ill, and even empowering them with a strength boost or in some cases, brand-new superpowers. As you can see, pheromones can be quite the flexible superpower.
