superhero idea: the protagonist has powerful abilities, but it's a random set of abilities that gets rerolled every midnight, so each day they have to quickly figure out what their new powers are and how they work in order to get any super-work done
@typhlosion ahhh!! That’s such a fun concept
?? :0
@typhlosion Dial H for Hero works kinda like this! Protag has a magic rotary phone dial that turns them into a random superhero for a limited amount of time and they have no control over who they get.
@witchfynder_finder oh, interesting!
@witchfynder_finder come to think of it, didn't early episodes of Ben 10 also work this way? like, he didn't know how to control the omnitrix yet so the alien he got when he transformed was basically random
@witchfynder_finder @typhlosion The hero Eidolon from Worm has a similar powerset, where he has three powers at any one time that usually fit what he needs, if not what he specifically wants at that second
He shows up as a very experienced hero who is nigh unbeatable, because he more or less knows what to expect at this point, but nobody fighting him ever does
superhero idea: the hero's powers are functionally identical to those of Superman, but instead of truth, justice, and the American way, the hero is mostly concerned with fighting a constant legal battle with Superman's lawyers over the right to exist under the American copyright system
