The power to change the direction of moving objects
Sounds stupid but can be really cool

That’s would be op as fuck, like no one could ever shoot you, but you could still be killed with non moving objects

So best powers to read/watch imo
>Shapeshifting
>Specific material Telekinesis
>Illusions
>Minon creation.

Shapeshifting because its such a versatile ability. Love intrest acting weird? Shapefshifter. Hero has to save the president but Oh oh the villian is a Shapeshifter and blended into the crowd.

Object specific telekinesis is waay more interesting because it can be more creative that standard telekinesis and doesn't have the same problems it has. Magneto can control most metals and using it he can also vaguely controle machines.

Illusions are just fun. Any mysterio comic can show you that.

Minon masters are always fun to read

Force fields
Depending on how creative the writer is it can be soo fun to read/watch.

Superpowered cyborg is the best concept. Bonus points if power is earned for skill.

How would you creativly use force fields? Would it be like creating constructs?

That's assuming it's an always on kind of thing. Depending on the speed of the object you're probably not gonna be fast enough to even react.

I’m a sucker for powers that sound bad on paper but are used to deadly effect against opponents with much “stronger” abilities. JoJo is a goldmine of these.
>Sticky Fingers: add zippers to things
Tears people apart without even causing damage, travels through solid surfaces effortlessly, rides zippers to different points
>Super Fly: traps someone in an invincible pylon
Causes significant trouble to not one, but three MCs and almost kills one of them
>Survivor: make your enemies angry
Used to make inmates tear each other apart and allow another Stand user to almost take down the MC
>Stone Free: turn your body to string
Used for listening, tripwires, slicing, ropes, shields, defence against body-warping attacks
>Tusk: shoot your fingernails like bullets
Constantly improving due to applying existing knowledge of the Spin in different ways
>Speed King: apply heat to small areas
Used to make stag beetles become stronger for a period of time and create vital oxygen in a chemical reaction
Also Hamon with how Joseph uses it in crazy ways.

>small, thin force fields can become razor frisbees
>force fields can be shrunk around an enemy to crush them to death
>force fields can be made one after another where the user is about to step to form stairs, or moved around while the user stands on it for flight

Portal creation within eyesight Give them nothing but this, don't just have them huck steak knives through it.

Here’s a fun variation on force fields that I’m using in a story I’m writing
One of the mcs has the ability to create and shape an elastic force field that absorbs all kinetic energy that’s thrown at it. Bit as soon as he deactivated the force field, all of that energy is released in the form of a shockwave

Adding on to this
>Force feilds applied over a gass trapping it. Now it can be used as a gass grenade
>Force feild can enhance projectiles making them stronger.
>Can be formed inside an object cutting it in half.
>Can be used to black out sound and gass based attacks

Wonder how Araki would write X-men

Magneto would just kill people the same way Risotto Nero did.

True but there will all ways be a twist to powers he writes(Unless its Jotaro)
But still you know how broken he can make a few obscure X men?
He could make ForgetMeNot a fucking Big bad villian

Part of what makes Jojo so good is that Araki always finds new ways to use what would normally be boring powers.
>Josuke han repair things with Crazy Diamond? Make him cover glass with blood to use as projectiles against Kira and break a motorcycle then repair it in mid-air to avoid killing a baby.
>Beach Boy is just a fishing rod that can go through surfaces? Have it nearly kill everyone due to the "go for the heart" tactic Pesci uses.
>Vitamin C can soften objects through touch. The user nearly kills everyone who fought him and even killed Kira, who had fucking Killer Queen as his stand.

telekinesis
that's telekinesis

Super strength. If you aren't a cape comics writer you could probably think of dozens of applications beyond merely punching, lifting and breaking things.

Yes, essentially just lantern constructs. Danger from the X-Men was creative with this, she would choke people out by putting them around there head.

Lets see.
>Throwing objects at the speed of a bullet
>Sculpting with hands.
>Grapple In inescapable submissions

That's more limiting the negative affects that super strength would have on the surrounding. If 2 guys strong enough to lift the weight of the world start seriously punching each other in the middle of a city then people are screwed.

Resourcefulness is one of the best superpowers of all

I kinda how My hero does it with the whole wind pressure thing, like I’ve seen that used before, it makes sense and adds creativity other than “punch hard”

Ehhh, like it can only go so far. Like it’s basically Batman’s power and it’s kinda bullshit what he can pull off. Like why the he’ll hasnt there been a comic run where Batman has scars all over him because he fuck up, loses his nose (both as a symbol of greatest loss and reinforce the whole bat angle), and looses a arm so he has to have mechanical arm gadgets

MHA is pretty good at handicapping powers

Reminds me of an anime/manga called Kekkaishi. They used force fields/barriers both defensively and offensively, which was pretty damn cool.

most IP's other than the big 2 are good at it.

Spawn- has a magic meter.
JoJo- Always a weakness and or Gimmick
MHA- all powers are only improved via training
Worm- Powers are literally handicapped and have in universe reason.

Spring body. Spring loaded punches, high jumps, extended reach, no fall damage

The chrolo nen ability, the fact he can learn a steal the other abilities, plus select them and almost had an huge different Index of different powers is fucking absurd

You also launch stuff like a catapult

I like the ability to replicate the attributes of a substance by touching it. Like Absorbing man and Kevin Levin

Batman is resourceful, but ultimately his biggest resource is his wealth

I'm thinking more along the lines of MacGyver

I meant more like Twice clones being fragile and based on measurements. Also the Spawn meter is a bad example because that was thrown out

I like how one pieces does it too, like it’s plant cover with like 90% water, and if you want superpowers you need this rare as fruit, so even if you’re like the “god god” fruit user someone can just push you into a puddle or something and you’d die, plus I think Haki was a good addition, even though it was controversial at first. Like fighting does boil down to will + strength, so having actually willpower be a power up is cool

Plus the meter was kinda stupid, because it’s up to the writer how much power x move even does, it’s a weird limit to have. 99 days would’ve been better instead of a magic cap

>Spawn meter is a bad example because that was thrown out
Oh wow completely forgot.
Agree with twice part. MHA has some really good stuff if only some parts were improved upon

That’s pretty cool

Bump

Temperature controle.
This is by fare the most versatile power in any setting

>Eye Beams.
>Teleportation
>Multiply Self.
Cool abilities I feel would be the most useful in serious situations.

Duplication

MHA use to limit it but now characters can get power ups under stress which could mean if a characters fighting the writer could give them one.

like what?

Random powerups due to stress. Deku getting even more powers. Small stuff lile that.

Instead of Deku getting smarter with his powers he just gets more powers.

Kek, user I...

You haven't read the latest arcs have you? IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE HOW YOU WANTED.

I like Lemillion's power. He was beast mode before that bullet got him.

My favorite always has been that guy from the X-men which only power is to translate things from any language.

Depending of the writter he is just a portable google traductor, or the guy can read and use alien tech, or read body language making him a master of hand to hand combat or to understand what a whole city (the city itself as an ent) thinks

Heck he can also be a master hacker as its just another language.

I don't know if this counts as simple but I've always thought assimilation/absorption/power replication is really cool. The only example I can think of is Aptom from Biobooster Armor Guyver or The Thing and I guess Amazo kinda.

It's probably not that simple, but I've always wanted to se a copycat power that imitates an ability but is weak where that ability is strong and strong where that ability is weak.

though dragon ball isn't known for creative attacks (Super especially) android 17 gets some pretty creative forcefield uses in the tournament of power, most notably using it as a gauntlet to strengthen his punches (pic related) and forming it around an opponent to amplify an explosion within

even kira himself: sheer heart attack and bites the dust aside, the bomb bubbles in his final fight with josuke is a super unique way to use a relatively simple stand power

SunEater had some neat limitations.
Replicating animal body parts isn’t even necessarily that OP, but limiting it to animals he’d eaten in the last 24 hours is a fun restriction.

Cool

Thanks, one of the things I’m trying to do to make it more unique is having the energy released in both directions, so he can’t deactivate the force field when it’s still around him or the shockwave will hit him too. Alternatively, if he molds the field underneath himself when it has already absorbed a lot of energy, he can use it to launch himself upward

>that's telekinesis
Mind bullets

Polymer Control.

Tsubasa from Symphogear gets pretty damn creative with a powerset that is limited exclusively to swords.

Make a sword. If you want to hit harder, transform it into a bigger sword.

Get above an enemy and make a sword the size of a building to crush them from above.

Throw a sword into the ground, and make it a building sized sword to act as a wall between yourself and an enemy attack.

Throw a sword into the ground, step up on the guard, and make it a building sized sword as you shift your weight onto it to fling yourself into the air and make a jump attack against a flying enemy.

Just keep using more swords and bigger swords to solve your problems.

How about the power to move you?
