Veiled Malice

I assume it still takes a Standard Action to activate. I see no problem with it as such, but Tether, as per the Snare feat, only allows you to move it towards you. Calling the Extra "Moveable" might be better, but that's a semantic choice at best.

Another confirmation they were in the past. The Power Corps were at the cutting edge of technology back in the Freedom City Nanowire knew, and rayguns that would have looked more at home in the hands of an Astroboy villain were not a part of that arsenal. "Just a few months. And I suppose you could say this is my debut as a superhero," he said with a tone of playful humor in his voice. Nanowire gave Grimalkin a knowing glance, then turned back to Gravitor. "Anyway, does Centurion often show up at jewelery store heists? It would seem that he might have better things to do."

Yes, it is. Mighty Strike makes the your Strength bonus just like a Blast power or a straight Strike. It's the same reason you have to purchase Penetrating for all of your STR bonus if you want it, not just on your Strike power. And it's the second option. Example: STR bonus 9, plus Mighty Strike 1, divided by two, equals 5 per attack. Or: (9+1)/2 = 5.

Nanowire was honestly surprised with his actions in defense of a man he hardly knew. Yeah, he didn't like it if people got hurt, but for the most part, it wasn't his problem. Or maybe that was it; the situation would have been his problem if the man had gotten killed. And certainly Grimalkin's praise was more than satisfying. And then Centurion showed up. Reality had taken a radical departure from the it's normal course. "I sat on his head," Nanowire whispered to himself, gaping, in his own non-expressive way, at the greatest superhuman that ever lived. Then his brain woke up again and started hammering away at this quandary. The old buildings, plus the old cars, plus the appearance of a man known to be dead, equaled one unlikely, but somehow inescapable, conclusion. They were in the past. Occam's Razor strikes again. He shook off the shock of his discovery and said, "Roboman, sir. I'm... new in town." A lie, but far from the worst thing he'd ever done. Besides, he was fairly certain nobody back in... whatever bygone era this was would know about nanotechnology.

Feh. Nanowire's barely a villain anymore. And Grimalkin is going to have him curled around her little finger before the end of the current story arc. I'll be taking submissions for character plots in a little bit, but I'll make a specialized thread for that. For now, Kneel Before Zod! EDIT: (I like that Zod better.)

Okay, Nanowire's being all bodyguard-y now. I know that I took effectively three actions there (pushing the guy aside, grabbing the concrete, and flinging it at the bad guy) but I'm more than happy to burn a HP for a suitabley heroic surge action. Oh, and the damage from the stone I got from the main book, pg 166. It said rock had a toughness of +5, so there you go.

That certainly got Nanowire's attention. In fact, it managed to do more to occupy him than the bad guys, as all of them engaged their cloaking belts and began sneaking away. Not that he couldn't still detect them, but he figured they would be all the more surprised when he started beating them into unconsciousness while they thought they were protected. It was only after Grim gave him a mischievous grin that he realized he'd been fooled. Again. If she wasn't so cute when she did it... Nanowire grumbled mentally. Then the man who'd originally engaged the robbers started speaking to them. Before now, Nanowire hadn't really been paying attention, but with the lull in battle, his powers bore a certain resemblance to Heavy... er, Icarus's. The face, too. "That's nice, but..." He left off as he sensed the guy who'd stayed behind raising his energy rifle. With his helmet off, there was no way the man could absorb a shot from that thing. "NO!" He shouted, rearing forwards and pushing the man to the ground. With his other arm, he ripped a large chunk of concrete out of the nearby wall and flung it at the would-be murderer.
