Plot Tailored to the Party: Difference between revisions

* This trope is the bread-and-butter of the [[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Bookcomics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]] auxiliary, the Legion of Substitute Heroes. They were teenagers who applied to join the Legion, but their powers were [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|too lame or]] [[Crippling Overspecialization|too specific]] to be considered useful. But gosh darn if they didn't manage to save the day whenever fate conspired to present them with a crisis that only their lame and specific powers could handle. Example: Color Kid had the power to change the color of anything. Not very useful in a fight. But then he discovered that if he changed the color of green kryptonite, it no longer affected Kryptonians ... while the Earth was engulfed in a green kryptonite cloud.
