I thought of using Disruptive Touch as a sort of add-on to APS: Plant, causing them to act like additional chemical secretions.

Re: What is your own Twist to a power?
I love giving twists to powers.
I have a minor hero character that has invulnerability without the extra strength or sdc just the power with 48 S.D.C.
Sonic flight where the character can’t fly higher than 15ft +1ft per level in the air.
Combining E.E. Energy and Force so that they do more damage, have knock back, and those that are impervious to one will be damaged by the other.
combining disruptive touch or catastrophic system failure to intangibility to get some pretty devastating results.
With sonic speed the character gets all the bonuses because of being able to move super fast but cant actually run any faster
With shape change the character can use the power to create clothes too so they are basically naked all the time.
Everyone, including the character , think they are part of quintuplets but they actually have the multiple beings power at maximum level that was activated at birth. Another twist would be for each “sibling” to have a different minor power.
With weight control the character can only increase the weight but don’t have any movement penalties when they use it on themselves.
SN Strength gives the damage but not the actual lifting ability, that stays the same.

Re: What is your own Twist to a power?
I've took the Create force objects and made the power to be able to create clothing for the user. Posted it in near the front of the new powers topic.
It has the limitation that they can't use the power while <unconcuse> and they have to 're-set' the power when changing to the 'armor' type clothing.
<knows this is spelled wrong but it's one of those words that seam to defy me spelling it correctly>

May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.

I add SDC of APS powers to the character's existing amount rather than replacing the SDC to give varied amount rather than have them be identical for an APS type.

The character "Marble" uses the stats from the power sliding, but he's really just curled up into a ball and rolling.

Had a NPC with APS: Fire and Create Force Field.
I had the Force Field impervious to fire/heat.

Re: What is your own Twist to a power?
A character I created had an elemental earth theme. So in addition to the Control Elemental Force Earth and Matter Expulsion: Stone, I had modified Flying force Disc so that instead it was essentially a hugh chunk of rock that was created/ripped out of the ground that the character could fly around on.

Re: What is your own Twist to a power?
I made a couple power tweaks:
Invisibility makes you immune to laser weapons while it's on.
Also, Negate Super Powers makes no sense (unless you're talking about magic), so I whipped up the following options:
Negate Super Abilities (Bio-Manipulation Effect): This is the same effect as in the Heroes Unlimited 2nd Edition book, with a clarification. Only applications of a power which require a concious decision to activate are affected, so energy expulsion would be negated, invulnerability would not. Some powers would be partially negated. For example, the minor power of healing factor would still function, but the instant regeneration could not be used since that requires a conscious decision. Also, abilities which are naturally possessed by the race of the victim are not affected.
Negate Super Abilities (Negate Super Energies): This ability negates the energy based powers only. However, it negates those abilities in any being (even aliens whose powers are natural to their race).

Alter Limbs - fleshy mode, every weapon appear to be made of bone, tendons and flesh
Invulnerability - reduced sense of touch, like cyborgs, can't be conbined with heightened sense of touch-

Re: What is your own Twist to a power?
I'm tossing around an idea for a APS: Thermite that'd combine APS: Fire, maybe some aspects of Lava and Metal or somethin.....
