Well, he had it coming then.
So who are some of the more powerful ones?
Also, your namesake?

well that's hard to answer because some are powerful but others have abilities that make others weak against them. I guess in terms of over all powers though Lich, Little Boy, Seismic and Unstoppable are the most "powerful". Hitler is likely the most powerful because his power is basically "are you a living thing that is alive? when then being near me kills you" but someone like Tech could walk up and bitch slap him up and down the street all day
whats a namesake?

Well, your username is Tech, so your namesake is Tech.
I'm assuming from that that Tech is mostly some kind of technological thing?
Seismic, I suppose, makes earthquakes, but what about Unstoppable?

oh well Tech is the main character and a villain. Him and a friend used hacking of accounts and military computers to steal money and technology in order to make a portal devise that would allow one to travel through the Internet. the idea being that they could become rich selling the idea as a quick and easy way to move things from one point to another. they would be able to make the portal shooter and would also need to add a devise that could turn things into data to travel through the portals they could make. the first thing they tested was on a book holding inside it the three rules of robotics (that's important) and then they would test it on a living creature, a fox. they succeed in digitizing both but in a freak malfunction the thing starts firing off and targeting everything to turn it to data. boxes of left over metal, our main character who I'm calling Darrin (and yes that's my name too) and would then bounce it off a mirror and digitize itself leaving a rather empty room and a horrified friend. A few days later a portal would open and a humanoid grey fox in jeans would crawl out of it. Tech has the ability to make and move through portals, he is living, fisical data. his bones are dense as steel but his skin is still weak. he can break and instantly repairs his bones as well and can punch with a force of about 4 tones. he has night vision and inferred as well. his body though doesn't show up on X-Rays and has no heat signature.
thing is even though he could kill people he can't, his body won't allow it due to the three rules of robotics and to his dismay it also forces him to put his own life on the line even when he really doesn't want to. but that is also his biggest strength because he is capable of even greater strength and speed in the event he needs to save a life and in his current state can't.

Seismic is able to manipulate rocks and earth, bending it to his will. he can pull granit from the ground, hurls huge chunks of earth at people and split the ground in half. though he needs to be touching the ground to have full control. Think Earth Benders from Avatar but he can't manipulate complex metals just rocks, sand and things like that

Unstoppable is just that if she's heading for you nothing will hold her back or stop her because nothing can have a greater mass then her.
Lucy and her husband John were working on mass manipulation to create the Infinite Mass Suit that would allow the wearer to be unstoppable because an object in motion stays in motion till something of equal or greater mass stops it, but nothing can be equal or greater then the suits mass.
during an original test of the suit that left the eyes exposed Lucy was trying it on but sadly the suit made just her eyes increase and gain in weight and mass causing them to fall out of her head and crash into the floor. now blind but not willing to stop they continued to work on the suit to completion.
with the helmet now a screen for her husband to see through he gives direction and warnings so she knows where to punch and what parts of her to increase in mass. you can't punch her, you can pick her up but not for long because her weight will increase to the pound you can't hold her and you definitely can't shoot her.
she can though be hurt by sonic waved and things like fire and electricity.

Interesting.
The character comes out and is a villain. Fairly powerful, but not the tip top as it were (a good place for a main character to be). I find it interesting that they're a villain but literally without the ability to harm another person. I suspect that Tech would be forced to act like a hero more often than not just because of programming.
An interesting, perhaps, meditation on the morality of imposing such hardline rules on an actually self aware and thinking person.
Seismic seems interesting then. A bit like that one mythological person who drew his strength from the Earth. The only way to defeat him was to lift him from the ground, rendering him weak and powerless.

Unstoppable is also a unique concept. That is utterly terrifying of course. But the fact that Unstoppable is basically a team that make her work is a fascinating and somewhat original idea. I like it.
Though an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by another force. So presumably an object of infinite mass could be slowed down if it were not accelerating. That being said, it still works, and is a bit like Juggernaut but all around more interesting.

well Tech still sees himself as human. he wasn't the best person prior to gaining his powers and once he got them he figured "fuck the rules". he can still break and hurt people, he just can't go to far with it and to his dismay help those when he rather not. Him and his friend go about robbing banks with his new abilities in order to live life without working like an asshole

yeah Tech is far from the strongest, he actually loses a lot. his whole thing that gives him a one up his he's stronger then most but people like Unstoppable and Gelom he just can't out punch because they are stronger then him. and Unstoppable may have troubles dealing with Seismic but Tech could easily portal behind him and break his arms.

The one problem I see, though, is that these are the laws:
So... it isn't limited to killing. And he'd have to do what you say.
Then again, you could argue that the laws didn't really translate properly and blammo, you're fine.

Post by Tech on May 5, 2016 1:26:39 GMT
well it's more his interpretation of the laws are basically replace "harm" with "kill"

he's basically a big mix up of all the things digitized and something coming out of it is the inability to kill, allow others to kill or allow others to die. in fact just seeing people die hurts him

What about some of the weaker characters? Anyone like Batman, in the sense that they don't actually have any powers (who isn't dead?)?
