@Stuzzie you are next!
@Zapdos
Heyo! Pretty tempted here, but what I want to put in here may or may not work, because of the plot of the virus crossed with this has alot to do with time. A while back (I don't exactly remember when.), I started experimenting with a character whose life in crime-fighting was an experiment of the practical ups-and-downs of having time-related powers. (It was inspired by The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, among other things.) That was how I came to make Chronos, and then I made not only her alternate self (Timekiller), but a slew of other characters that were essentially the same person with somewhat-differently-nuanced time abilities and skills, each one hailing from another timeline where things are radically different. Because of the virus that killed off the supers, the time-related hero of this universe would've been killed, as well. So, unless you'd allow this one to have managed to use her power to 'skip' the virus, I dunno if I can use this one.
I could probably come up with something else, though, if we're lacking a particular dynamic. Let me know!
@ZapdosI think I might've mis-stated some things. Firstly;
1: Pete doesn't have much control over said adhesive quality at the moment, and even once he does, it won't change the fact that as far as stopping power goes, he's very lacking; he's only good for stalling adversaries unless he can put his noggin together for a creative solution, which he...Understandably struggles doing. Or assist other people, but in general this team lacks much stopping power right now lol.
2: I mentioned it rather simply. While killing him is a questionable prospect, if you can force him into something, like a jar or the sort, his liquid-like form will shape to fit the new home, and while he's stuck like that, he'll be unable to change back until he can re-assume at least a human-like shape in his slime form. Also, while he won't be dead, it's possible to tear/blow his slime body into pieces, making him take time to reform, which can take several minutes; a lot of valuable time to be effectively out of commission in a combat scenario.
3: This was just me overstating a bit; it can dissolve most things with time. Such as him absorbing theatre garbage and letting it stew for a couple of hours. It is by no means an instantaneous process, and things that strike at him aren't at any risk of being liquefied (until he can figure out how to concentrate that acidic quality some more).
Point is, yeah, he himself isn't under too much risk (unless he acts stupid....Which he certainly will), though he's vulnerable outside of this form. Not to mention, the tension is still there for him; while he's had a few times of being torn apart and put into pieces since his powers manifested, he isn't certain of the limit, nor is he eager to test it, whereas plenty of baddies would be happy to. And sure, maybe he won't have as much personal, bodily stake as some of the other heroes, but that means his stake is his fellow heroes. As the one guy both willing and able to put himself in harm's way, it falls on him to be the frontman of the group, so to speak, and any harm the others might take, he would likely feel falls onto him as the one who should be bearing that weight.
But overall, if I can't get this by, I'll shoot a different concept instead. Sometimes ya got the image in your head, and thinking of it any other way sorta scuffs the whole thing, ya feel? So I'll leave this in your hands.
