Thought I'd hide this here as I work on it hoping to perhaps find some imput
This is a world where Superman is a never was, Spiderman is a gadgeteer with a cool toy collection; more like Batman with a touch of Tony Stark. The strongest Gamma (They call us Gamma) I ever heard of could lift like 20 tons if he was standing on a reinforced surface, something to do with load per square. Try lifting 5 tons on a beach and you’ll sink to your knees or hips before you get it over head. Fliers we have our problems as well, you need to have the power to go fast, make atmosphere, eyesight, and well it's fun till you fly close to a chopper.
..Did I forget to mention that we have powers but not all that powerful, but thats mechanics
“How did we the people of Earthe get our powers?”……. It all started at a lovely little place both our timelines share
POWERS
I know thats what your thinking, So here goes
First let me point out in a world where Gamma take jobs with the local police killing the bad guys not a way to be in their good graces.
So I mentioned in the hook that lifting was an issue and it is, Can’t lift ten tons while standing on a common house floor unless you wanted to check out the basement; it’s all about spreading out the support so unless you want to wear clown shoes or something like them expect to sink into earth, sand and the like if you go over 2 tons overhead. Most streets will either deform (Tar based) or crack (Concrete based) if you try 5 tons overhead; some muscle jock tried to get laws passed to make stronger streets so he could juggle cars but it didn’t pass.
Hey how about running really fast, let me count the ways. Urban environments and their tight corners suck at over 200 mph and it isn’t all about turning but surprise; the streets and sidewalks ain't empty. Ever have to explain to a parent why little Timmy’s bruise looks like your knee put him in a coma? I think I heard of some guy who was running about 500+ mph out at the salt flats; he fell twice and it was only his reflexes that kept him from getting a broken arm or leg as he tumbled maybe 600 yards before he got his feet back under him.
Oh and if you’re gonna run or fly faster than 50 mph you need a face and mouth guard at least unless you like to eat bugs and your eyes bulletproof.
How do I get around these things?
Support powers, these are things like say a streamlining force field for a runner or flyer...oh and both might want to get the support Maneuverability both allowing top speeds but limiting powers outside of flight.
But those details are boring “Go for Indestructible, or maybe Telekinesis” just remember to not go overboard with power
