18: Dimensional Travel - Choose either travel to and from one particular dimension (e.g. hyperspace, null-space, a dimension that looks like a point in Earth's history or future) with no chance of error, or the ability to travel to and from any other dimension with a chance of error.
16: Disintegration Ray - "the ability to vaporize solids and liquids" (but not living beings; they take damage instead until they're dead)
63: Mutant Power - Make something up
93: Vibratory Powers - "powerful patterns of vibration", which can be used as an attack or as armor
45: Heightened Strength B - Increased strength (the version with the higher possible roll, so Superman-level, not Aquaman-level)
If I recall correctly, Squishy was going to give your SI the Disintegration Ray and the attack part of the Vibratory Powers... and that "nullifying ability" can be your Mutant Power. So, pick one of the other three to keep: Ice Powers, Dimensional Travel, or Heightened Strength. (Considering that Squishy is a Masu, he could give you the Dimensional Travel or the Heightened Strength. And you don't need two attack/armor powers.)
Hmmm. I don't believe I ever mentioned anything about vibration powers. Mainly just a low-end regeneration ability (Deadpool level, mind. Not Wolverine. Example: DP can get riddled full of holes by gunfire and regenerate that in a few minutes - about five or ten minutes. But cut off an arm? It's gonna take a day or two for that to grow back.) Also, heightened strength is kinda part-and-parcel with the Masu integration.
So that covers Mutant Power (Nullifier), Disintegration Beam (M/AM Cannon + X-Ray Laser), and Heightened Strength. This is actually a great Tank-build that lives up to the name, because while IRL tanks can be taken out if you know how to hit them (either special AP ordnance or guerilla tactics), they can also strike anywhere from close- to long-range.
So with that in mind... I think I'll go for the Dimensional Travel in the form of an inaccurate teleporting ability. Ben is capable, he just can't perform the math in his head the way Nanoha and the other mages can.
However, I don't think it would be cheating too much for him to have a Boost Device to actually perform the mathematical equations for him - it acts as a navigational aid and he simply executes the jump using the figures it gives back to him. (Unlike other BDs though, it doesn't augment his power. It does the math, and nothing more.)
This provides a plot-convenient weakness in that if you separate him from his Device, he won't be able to teleport. (At least, not without a strong likelihood of killing himself and possibly other bystanders.)
Thoughts?
