Quote:From what you imply, this sounds rather like Thunderd!ck from the God of Sex manga - and if so, I do hope he had some form of armor-skin power too!
had Stretching, but linited to only a certain part of the body
For my part, the only overachieving spot-on-the-wall supers I've dealt with were a villian with heavy kickboxing skills who could make socks harder than steel, another villain with the power to speak with and compell reptiles (though after he started breeding dinosaurs that was rather more useful) and a girl who could create spices at will. who was/is half of the title duo in my utterly comatose Superguy series "Spice Girl and (Undefined)" (nothing WHATSOEVER to do with the band).
Spice Girl, AKA Rosemary Cayanne Coriander, could manifest spices hot enough to melt the workings of locks, turn a cinnamon stick into a bo staff to fight with, and cause crippluingly painful cases of heartburn at a touch, but had a bit of trouble toning it down to use the power in actual cooking - fortunately, she was also immune to all spice-based damage. I suspect UF-Zoner might describe her chili as 'Notably warm.'
Thinking about it, there's one more character from that who'd have had oddbal powers if I ever got around to writing the bits where he showed up, a gardener who was a Hedge Wizard, the kind whose flower beds are laid out with mathematical prescision, grow irridescent and glowing flowers, and can be activated to become Major Circles of Protection with a mile or so radius.
(Undefined) was basically a living Infinite Power Pool, who never used the same power twice, and had been a local hero since anyone can remember, with his UndefinedCraft (which fits into a siongle parking space, but is larger on the inside, has been seen driving and flying, moves at great speed, and recently gained a projector apparatus on the underside that can be used to produce large, golden donuts of destructive energy) and providing accomodations in the ndefinedBase which is, naturally, in some undefined location near the outskirts of Velo.
Actually, (U) is almost equivalent to Doug, if Doug didn't need music, but was limited to effects doing no more damage than a good handgun with special loads, and no fooling with the time/space contimuum beyond an effect similar to Doug's field, due to being a vaguely man-shaped blob of indefinite color and therefore hard to locate precisely to hit. Oh, and when (U) moves a certain way he can confuse people trying to watch him enough that the weak minded pass out, and even the strong get a nasty headache, but he can't attack while doing so. Move right next to someone so he can whack them with a stun-rod he wasn't holding a moment before, yes, attack while moving, no.
Of course, Superguy is all about being superhero parody, so you get things like Flannelman, protector of Seattle, Spam (the allegeged food product) as the ultimate power in the universe (Althouh as the three-dimensional representation of a fourth dimensional vector, I'm not sure if it actually qualifies as being in any one universe precisely) even stronger than cola/uncola reactors, supervillains who become teachers at private colleges because Mr. Destruction just doesn't have that ring to it, and claiming to be a doctore without having a degree would be wrong, so he can be Professor Destruction, or - coming back to mine - world domination through stale vending machine food and genius lawnmower inventors who turn to evil after being fired from the local country club for building an aerial assault mower in comapny time. (He stole the prototype, fifnished it in his garage, and leter attacked during the Branmuphin Cup golf tournement to get revenge...)
