Fighting ability - 1
Durability - 7( only because I had 7 children without any pain medication.)
Speed - 1

"Condemn me not because of mine imperfection,... but rather give thanks unto God that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections, that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been." Mormon 9:31
we should consider modifying these superhero categories. specifically i think "energy projection" is too broad and should be subdivided. for example maybe telepathy should be a separate category. if everybody agrees on a particular change, then let's just edit the original post in this thread.
so let it be written... so let it be done.
Yeah, good call. We were just going by what's in the Marvel Encyclopedia, but I don't think there's any reason why we can't form our own categories. If there's a specific power that falls under a category not listed, post your ideas together with the 7-point scale for that new category.
Man, with all the new ideas floating around, I wouldn't be surprised if this simple little discussion leads to bigger and better things! I'd be happy to act as a reference for anyone who'll be submitting a resume to DC or Marvel in the near future.

Well, I just wanted to send a shout out and express my gratitude at being invited to join the team here at huntingtonfamily.org.
I shall be forthcoming with my thoughts as time frees itself within the next few days. And as my brain cells once more activate.
But I did want to agree that Ian would make a good Pharoah. It has been written, now if you will all join with me in saying it . . .
Good. Now I feel like a part of something big.
