* Parodied by ''[[8-Bit Theater]]'': Red Mage is constantly showing his companions [[One Stat to Rule Them All]] versus a [[Dump Stat]]. Lockpicking can be accomplished, for instance, using the pickpocket skill because it's just removing a lock from a pocket in a door. The interrogation skill is simply emptying pockets of information in people's minds. This being ''8-Bit Theater'', [[Insane Troll Logic]] is completely applicable if you're stupid enough to not wonder how it's at all possible. Likewise, Thief can steal things that are intangible or that ''don't exist'', basically doing anything as long as can be called theft.

The current king has the power of sound; so he can control sound waves, [[Compelling Voice|make whatever he says perfectly believable]], and put anything into a perfect (sound) state.

* The Number Man from ''[[Worm]]'' has power over mathematics. Beyond the financial uses he normally gets up to, this allows him to, among other things, read vectors in real time to [[Critical Hit]] a [[Super Toughness|Super Tough]] parahuman in the right place to shatter his skull, horizontally wallrun, invoke [[Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics]] to his advantage, shrug off an explosion or multistorey drop by spinning the right way, and simulate [[Combat Clairvoyance]].
