View Full Version : New X-Men's Powers: What would you like to see?

so, some of my ideas....



Trance
This is how I would love her powers to work: Her astral body is actually her vital energy (qi/ etheric body) which leave her physical body (made of matter). So her powers are basically to separate her vital energy from her physical body, leaving her body lifeless. Her etheric body as is made of vital energy/qi can both heal or cause energy damage, however her etheric body can only cause damage to others etheric bodies and not phsysical bodies. She can only hurt her enemies vital energy. Her etheric body is unbounded by physical laws, so in that form she is able to remain intangible, levitate, flight at great speeds, traverse into any of the astral planes, pass through magic barriers or realms (like she did in Limbo), etc. I would also like her to, at some point, be able to remain her phsysical body conciouss, like separating not all of her vital energy or by other means like training, etc. So she would be able to dulplicate herself into a phsysical body and an etheric body.

Loa
I would like her powers to work on controlling binding forces of inorganic matter. That would allow her to move through solid matter, and then choose wheter to leave that matter solid or break it down. It would also give her the ability to alter the density of an object and make it as hard, soft, creamy or intangible. However, she won’t be able to alter the binding forces of herself or other organic beings, her power would only work on inorganic matter. And I would blame her little knowledge on the use of her powers on her dislike on chemistry, so she only apply them to brake down stuff.

Pixie
I would add some other uses to her wings, like by vibrating them fast enough, she can cause ultrasonic blasts and sonic disruptions (like Angel Salvatore). I would also give her the ability to produce spores from her wings that when coming into contact with living creatures causes different reactions (not only illusions), such as sleepiness or allergies (like that butterfly pokemon). At some point I would like her to control her dust’s illusions.
Other powers which occur to me are: She would also be able to shrink her body down to six-inch height. She would be able to easily communicate with tiny flying insects like butterflies or bees and make them obey her commands.

Armor
I image her powers to be connected to her ancestors (like she said), like the more in contact her feelings are with them, the more powerful she became. I would make her armor immune to telepathic attacks. And at some point make her able to get so much bigger, like that time in Astonishing where her armor turned red and blue, and choose the way her armor looks like, like in a more defensive mode or else.

Surge
She would be able to control her absorbtion. She would be able to fire jets of electric energy from her fingers for simple things like turning off electrical devices. She would be able to hear electric radio waves (like police broadband). She would be able to perceive the world around herself solely as patterns of electrical energy. By "feeling" the course of electricity through a circuit, she would be able to override the system and make the device obey her mental commands (like disconnect alarm systems, etc). She would be able to give electric shocks to those she touch. She would be able to use an external electrical power source to recharge herself. When her electric charge is at a maximum, she would be able to transform into a being of pure electricity and travel through electrical wires or any conduct and possess any devices that use electricity including electronics, telecommunications networks and electrical grids.

Dust
She would be able to maintain a more ground-based solid and roughly-humanoid form by compacting the particles of sand. Consequently, she would be able to become as hard as sandstone, or disperse her body so that she becomes invulnerable to physical attacks. And all of Sandman’s powers too.

Mercury
I wouldn’t add her any other abilities, but I would show more uses of her properties like her molecular adhesion power.

The Cuckoos
I would like them to get rid of the Pheonix force and be able to tap into their organic diamond forms.

Bling
I imagine her being a inorganic violet diamond being able to control and create diamonds. This would give her several abilities. She can encase people in crystal, effectively immobilizing them. She can move through crystal. She can create crystal to form extra or armor-like appendages to her body. She can create crystal and formed into any object of her choosing; she can form ladders, slides, shields, spikes, and form long ramps to travel on. She can use her diamond control power to serve as a laser generator when light strikes her. She would also be inmune to telepathic attacks and won’t need to eat or breath to survive.

Anole
I would give him venomous fangs, a leap (a la Toad) ability. And make all of the bones in his body malleable (like those of a snake), making his body very flexible and pliant. He would also be able to telepathically communicate with and control all reptiles. Also, as a reptile, his blood would be cold and it would need warming (thought it may not only be by sun radiation).

Elixir
He would be able to control the biological structure and/or biochemical processes of other people's bodies by physical contact. But he would need a basic understanding of the biological affect he want to provoke. This would allow him to stimulate certain body functions in other to cause orgasms/ecstasies, vomiting, nauseas, rectal malfunctions and many others body reactions. He would also be able to put people to sleep or make them be frantic for a short period of time. He would be able to cause diseases on others or make them ill, generating headaches or stomachaches, etc. He would also be able to analyze a person's genetic code and catalyze the untapped genetic potential of latent mutants (temporally).

Rockslide
He would only be able to reconstruct himself with rocks, different types of rocks and minerals found in nature. I would grant him the ability to decide the amount of matter he uses to create his solid body, making him able to became a giant of any rock material. And be able to manipulate rocks and earth around him, but not completelly.

Gentle
Apparently his streght is given by some sort of energy release, which his tattoos help to control by absorving it. I would make him able to control that energy release and use it when and as long as necessary. He would also control his size growth and streght. And find some other uses for that energy, like self-healing, etc. His vibranium tattoos would also grant him some sort of resistance to energy attacks.

Match
Pyro’s and Human Torch’s powers conbined. He would also be able to sense heat, and have infrared vision.

Indra
He would have control over how and where to create his armor of exoesqueletons. Like only creating an specific pointed helmet, or boots with spikes, etc. He would have different armor modes: defensive, ofensive, etc.

Wolfcub
Appart from enhanced senses, speed, stamina, streght and agility, I would make his reaction time twice as fast as that of a human. He would be to see into the infrared portion of the spectrum, which would allow him to see heat emissions of objects or people in total darkness. And I would make his claws and teeth extremely sharp and touch, enabling him to rend through a variety of substances including fabric, wood, cinderblock, and even some types of metals. And a healing factor.

Wither
He would be able to control decay forces. Both on organic matter (causing death or rapid aging on people, animals or plant) and inorganic objects (causing metals to rust, object to became dust, stop working, etc). He would have complete control over his powers. And he would be able to summon and control zombies.

Kid Omega
He would be an energy being, with powers very similar to those of Green Lantern (like seen in Pheonix Endsong). He would also has genius-level intellect.

I think those are all great ideas, except maybe Wither's zombie control. I could see any of these becoming reality in X-Comics.

you forgot the REAL leader and best charachter.
I think having my main man hellion have NO fine control over his power adds a nice edge to it. lifting large objects or doing something simple like a TK backlash.... doable. picking up a pencil? KABOOM!!
have it be kinda like cannonball when he first started out.... his powers are great but he has no control over them!

So in other words, you want the New X-Men to be an ultra powerful team of unstoppable mutants whose powers make the current X-Men look like C and D-listers? :p

That's an interesting idea(Especially the zombie part) though I also thought Wither would be able to decay both organic and inorganic material without the need of touching with his hands.

Hellion is the real leader of the team, but i think his powers need to be more like Marvel Boy/Justice.

idem. that, and i thought it'd be interesting to discuss how much potential these characters have, not only because of their personalities, but also because of how interesting their powers are.

Oh, I've got nothing against it! In fact, I like your idea for Elixir very much.

I had an interesting idea for Mercury.

After reading "Mercury Falling" my first instinct was that, because she can sense her bits everywhere and reabsorb them, she'd be able to eventually control them - and in do time, control Predator X.

Eventually, I could see her splitting off into several parts, like Madrox. I wouldn't say she'd be able to produce nearly as many duplicates as Madrox, and they wouldn't have their own personality. Instead, she'd be controlling them as she would her own arm.

I could see Mercury developing into quite the badass.

Oh i love the pixie idea.
I want her to have antman powers.
But for butterflies.
:D

And i'd like Dust to be able to go into sort of a glass shard form.

Like if Surge hit Dust in her sand form.

Yeah, and she'd be all melted and glass-like.
It would be a new perspective.
Glass-storm!

Mercury - I'd love for her to take on more organic forms with her body. Also change her body into less traditional human form, like grow extra legs, and limbs, sharp teeth, blades - and so on. Another cool power I'd like to see in her is to detach parts of her for offensive manuevers, such as flinging daggers at her opponent and possibly controlling it to do other deadly moves while still attached to the opponent.

Surge - Electricity is basically an excellerated form of fire, so I would like to see her experiment and break down her electricity into various intensities of fire. In addition, I'd like to see her convert her body into living electricity. In addition, maybe train more intensely with Storm to create various electrical anomalies like Ball and chain lightning.

Rockslide - I'd like for him to be able to transfer his essence into all forms of earthly rock. Sandstone, limestone, bedrock, granite, coal, diamond, and so on. On a side note, I would also like for him to develop a relationship with Dust, just to see where that goes. They seem to be a great match, in the sense that they are both opposites.

Elixir - I would like Elixir's powers to be autonomous, by finding the problem and heal it automatically. I would also like to see a change in his personality to reflect this omnipotent power, and become a little more darker. Like a younger version of Exodus' personality.

Gentle - I like the character, but he needs to be a little more on the "Prodigy" side, in terms of his thinking. I can see him using calculated moves to disable his opponents, instead of rushing in like he did when the Sentinels attacked, yet maintain his calm demeanor at all times.

this was the thought that came to my mind,
santo can reform his body out of rock, any kind of rock and control it
soyara can turn her body into sand

and since sand is just very small rocks
could that mean that........:eek: :D

ill leave the rest to you

cant have helion be exactly like marvel boy... its just to cliche'
I think if you take a telekenetic who is brash and arrogant and overly skilled. then make him lose control of his powers it would make for a great charachter.
when they were all in seperate groups.... and he was leader of the hellions I LOVED this charachter! its classic for american movies, comics and tv for the arrogant charachter to always come out the loser. but why? I mean... there usually is a reason for being arrogant, ITS BECAUSE YOUR GOOD AT SOMETHING! i liked how the hellions werent bad guys, bur always came out on top in a mischevious teen type of way.
So now you have an arrogant hellion, who is a "bad boy" that has semi out of control powers. immense power that he cant control... no matter how much training he has. I like the idea of an out of control student. I loved the origional cannonball who was indestructable and could only fly straight... thus giving him a flaw. he couldnt even fly or turn for the first 20 issues or so. and remember sunspot? ONLY superstrong..... no flight, no durability so he would always hurt himself punching things..... I love the idea of flawed student charachters.

let pixie keep casting spells and messing them up like the wizard from D&D cartoon. let

what i think would be interesting.
is too see mercury control the color and texture fo her shape as wel.
would be interesting especialy for practical jokes

Victorious
01-15-2008, 08:45 AM
i thought about that, but...
color and texture control + molecular adhesion: too much like Anole
being able to change her appearence: too much like Mystique

of course she would be able to control that sometime (like she controls her hair color (¿?)), but i prefer her not to.

ChristosSoter
01-15-2008, 11:07 AM
I read an article where someone from Marvel said that Mercury had potential to be the next Apocalypse.

guess thats true
she still would have here own style though
but if u look at how she uses her powers now and whats she's cabaple of
there's still lot of room for improvement

It's not really a power upgrade.
But:
Mercury in her own solo series, in the slapstick style of Plastic Man.
She can have like, a serious sidekick. Possibly Dust.

The other day i came with an interesting idea on how Prodigy’s power would have evolved if he had never loose his powers:

Prodigy’s power would be to control knowledge and skills. Not only temporary absorb them, but retain them too for longer periods of time. He would also be able to absorb knowledge from different persons at the same time and know things about someone based on that knowledge, like if Loa really knows how to surf or if Trance plays or not the violin. He would know if someone is lieing about certain things or not. I also came with the idea of he being able to pass that knowledge or abilities to whoever he wants to, not only absorb them himself. He would be able to pass fighting skills to all his team mates, for example. He would also be able to erase knowledge from other people minds temporary.

Hellion is the real leader of the team, but i think his powers need to be more like Marvel Boy/Justice.Just wondering, but is Justice's TK particularly special or something? IIRC Vance Astro (his alternate Guardians of the Galaxy version) could only do TK "Force pushes" or something very simple/crude, while Justice seems to be able to do the "standard" TK abilities (flying, lifting, concussive, fine-control, etc.).

i think part of Shortpack's power should be a photographic memory but w/ limited storage space (to go along w/ his short-range telepathy). it would make him a more effective field-handler.

"that butterfly Pokemon"..! HE IS BUTTERFREE! How I loved him so...

Really like your ideas :smile:

Watch out though, I'm sure you'll be outraging the NXM fan haters by daring to post "more sub par fan w*nk" and outside of "that thread of ours" to boot! :rolleyes:

It be cool to see someone having mutant powers like Animal Man or Vixen from DC.

as far as working on controlling their powers, and seeint where they could go.. id have to say..
Loa
crumble, or dissolve a bit anything she touches. great for sneaking around, she can dissolve a door. or in a fight, turn someones arm into mush.

Pixie
she's gotta go learn under doc strange, get some magic knowledge. as far as the dust, if she can control it to where it can knock people out, that would help her out a lot

Surge
id actually like to see her superheat air and make herself something like a lightsaber, that'd be (visually) cool. the idea about turning into electricity would be cool. that way she can merge into powerlines and travel wicked distances without being found out. your idea of remote controlling computers would be pretty cool


Mercury
i like how she was able to pull her extra "skin" off the dead predator x. so she could split up her body and have 2 or 3 "dupes" to fight people. i wonder if her body is dangerous if she deposits a lil bit of it into people?

Rockslide
since he technically is just an entity manipulating a statue, id love to see him taking advantage of that when he can. like if they fighting in a graveyard, create an army of gollems.

Gentle
they should bring nate grey back just so he can give nehzno a genetic brand. if it keeps nate alive, itll work for gentle

Hellion
i remember in the x-man comics, how nate was able to use water particles and dust in the air to bend the light around him to make himself invisible. hell, just bring nate back to tutor the damn kid.

then of course these kids would be uber powerful and just start pwning people like no tomorrow, but it'd look cool!

I'd like to see an entirely new Mutant female based on a Skunk, but yet shes incredibly hawt for a feral chick but when she gets scare she lets rip a special stinky substance from a special gland under hear tail that not only stinks to high heavens but burns acidicly.

To hell with Docter Strange, he can barely control his own magic.

Pixie should train under a magic trickers, aka Loki.

04-24-2008, 01:12 AM
but would loki actually teach her? wouldn't he just play tricks on her, give her stupid spells that just pull a prank on herself?

The problem with this is? Besides shes a smart girl, all she really needs to know is the fundamentals, after that they can concoct some cockamamie story about how shes teaching herself magic from just gaining a exceptionally good understanding of the basics... then she can go all Harry Potter on people. Besides isn't Agatha Harkness looking after her now or something, I remember seeing some kind of preview with Pixie in some other school and she was talking about her time at the X-Men, I couldn't help but notice that the lady who came for her while she was on the phone reminded me of Agatha, especially considering the dialog, I just assumed she did some hocus pocus so as to get pixie off the phone and back under her supervision.
