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 Mind Manipulation. The power can also induce sleep, or create the feeling of sickness or disorientation.
People with the Super Sense of smell (The Nose Knows) can be vulnerable to this power.

- SPH or Space Pheromones, from ēlDLIVE, are select chemicals released by aliens. These pheromones are used for communication like insects but are more powerful. They can be used to send a signal to a target and can be used as a form of offense. An alien's SPH has a unique scene that can be used for tracking. There is also how it can be augmented by specific equipment to be used in combat. Humans cannot use Space Pheromones unless they are implanted with an SPH organ or used as a host for a Montialien.
