That's right folks, it's back, but with a twist!

As usual, you'll be going to the Superpower Wiki [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Superpower_Wiki] and click "random page". This time around, however, we're rolling twice. Your first roll is your starting power, and the second is a power you gain somewhere down the road.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to figure out and explain how the heck the second power stemmed from the first. If you get something stupid overpowered for your first roll (like Omnipotence or related abilities), treat it as your second power. If both rolls are ridiculously overpowered, pick your favorite of the two, treat it as your second roll and reroll for your first power. Because, let's be honest, it's nothing special if you have "Boomerang Proficiency" as a subpower of "Omnipotence". But starting with Boomerang Proficiency and gaining Omnipotence? That's an interesting story right there.

Let's begin, shall we?

My starting power was Sleep Manipulation, which evolved to include Aethikinetic Combat. Now comes the tricky part of linking the two. In this case, I'm inclined to claim that the realm of dreams that I control exist within the aether itself, and my powers grant me control of that aether, but only when I have a 'portal' to it in the form of a sleeping mind. Aehtikinetic combat thus becomes a learned application allowing me to force those 'portals' open a bit more and - with great effort - draw a small amount of aether from the land of dreams to use in the waking world for a limited time.


NOTE: The interplay between the abilities seen as above is NOT required for this activity. That was just the explanation I came to for it. The idea is just to have fun with it, so let your imaginations run wild.

First power: Healing Beam Emission.
Secondary Power: Aspect of Valor.

I feel these two overlap fairly well in terms of alignment. Someone who started out as a mere healer trying to help people in need but eventually healed enough people to prove their genuine desire to help others and be made into the Aspect of Valor by the Supreme Being when one is required.

It's kind of a big leap to make all at once, maybe the healer would slowly start developing the Aspect of Valor's ridiculous list of godly powers as they see more and more tragedies that merely healing the victims won't solve, starting with meta power manipulation/enhancement, courage inducement/aura, and amortality and progressing from there. Healing beams is piddly by comparison, but it certainly won't hurt to heal someone up while you're also giving them great courage and enhancing their own powers. I will go around doing that for anyone who stands up against the odds for a righteous cause.

I must say, Aspect of Valor is by far the most powerful thing I've ever randomed in these lotteries. I'd be happy with just courage inducement or healing.

First power: Daytime Walking.
Yes, it is as lame as it sounds, I am a noctural beast that can't withstand sunlight (for example Vampires in some stories)
So basically I am a beast/creature of some sort that is weak to sunlight.

Second power: Stochastic Mimicry
I become a mathematical equation, basically I become nonexistant, invisible and all bodily needs like taking a shit or eating vanish from me. Also anything I touch... or my "spirit" thouches... or my equation touches... I can do anything mathematically possible with that. For example short cirquit anything with electricity or drowning a fish...

Basically I am a nocturnal creature who through long search was able to create a sun cream so powerful even I could walk along the normal people during daytime. When creating this substance in large quantities, and trying to make it even more powerful. I became a math teacher at harvard to work with the brightest young minds on the planet. From here I gave them tests to make equations on how to make this sort of substance even better (I also did this test with chemists and physicists) and then when I thought I found the answer I created a large amount of this sun cream, and in the middle of the process I fell into the tub which was filled with so many equations and formulas that I was given the power of Stochastic Mimicry!!!

Damn I suck at this -.-

First Power: Mutagen Empowerment. So, I am basically like the TMNT in a sense that made me more powerful than a regular human.
Second Power: Tranquil Fury. The ability to channel my rage to fuel my powers without actually loosing control.

Decades of being bullied for looking like a weird mix of a man and a rat has made me extremely angry at the world but, as people say, it is not good to corner a rat, as some bullies learned the hard way. With practice, I learned to trigger the advantages of adrenaline fueled animal instincts without actually falling prey of the beast.

First power: Rain generation [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Rain_Generation]. Pretty straight forward.
Second power: Lust constructs [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Lust_Constructs], as in the ability to make constructs out of manifestations of lust.

You've got to be fucking kidding me...

Moving on.

Since the second power is evolved from the first power, this suggests my ability to generate rain is generated through Empathic Creation [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Empathic_Creation] as well. I'd imagine the backstory to explain this is something like I only initially learned I could apply my empathic powers as generating rain due to the ease required for the emotion that creates rain. I'd imagine sadness is the one that most resembles rain, so I lead a really crappy life not made easier by my equally crappy super power or I have an okay life but feel sad a lot. Then one day that all changes when some Blithe Spirit [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlitheSpirit] or (God forbid) Manic Pixie Dream Girl [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManicPixieDreamGirl] enters my life and provokes an outburst of lust. From then on I am a part of a team or duo with this other person as a source for my now more useful power, at least until I figure out other emotions stimuli for new results.

That explanation doesn't show an evolution of a second individual power as much as it is the same original power manifesting in a new way, but it's not like I was dealt a good hand.

Well I got Enhanced Roar [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Enhanced_Roar]. The ability to roar really lordly to the point of breaking things.

then I got Death Whisper [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Whisper]. The ability to hear the voices of the deceased (not kill people with a whisper. Then it could have been a story about years of training, learning control are figuring out how to use my powers as a scalpel rather than a sledge hammer. OH Well!).

I roar so loudly that even the dead can hear it and they broke though the veil just to tell me to shut the fuck up. Alternatively I am a new take on a Banshee. I use my voice as a weapon and can hear the deceased who tell me who is going to die. Probably whoever I'm screaming at.

Another pair of closely related abilities.

Fourth try;

I guess my platinum manipulation abilities were just me being too specific about which elements to use. i'm not much of a storyteller as you can tell.

First power- http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Artificial_Heart
So how is that different from the usual pacemaker?

Second power http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Feral_Mind
Plot twist, the artifical heart originally came from an animal thus the artificial heart started to corrupt my mind thus making me think more feral like!

I got Absolute Intellect [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Absolute_Intellect] and Physical Godhood [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Physical_Godhood]. So here's what I'm thinking.

Space radiation gives me absolute intelligence and I test this by devising a way to become a god. I do so and I become a god. Afterwards, I get bored. So I start beating up criminals and giant monsters for fun!

Memory Absorption [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Memory_Absorption] evolving into Banishment [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Banishment].

Seems fairly straight-forward. My ability to absorb memories from people has, with enough refinement, allowed me to cause an individual to forget about certain locations or desires to go to such locations, effectively banishing them from them. With sufficient effort I could selectively remove the memories of an individual from all those important to them, making returning to family and friends very difficult, again effectively banishing them from their previous existence. Fun times for all involved.

Cold weather manipulation: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Cold_Weather_Manipulation

followed by...

Chi augmentation! http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Chi_Augmentation

So I can generate and manipulate awesome ice powers and have the ability to use chi to kick the ass out of people with my body that use to be weak and fragile?

WELL THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE A GREAT DAY! XD

I honestly can't complain at all, that's an awesome combination "CHI ICE DRAGON SUPER MEGA ULTRA PUNCH!" ... well I had to say something cool!

Thing #1: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Life-Force_Manipulation

Not bad. Not quite a blank check, but I could work with that.

Thing #2: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Embodiment

WELL THEN, apparently I'm just all Alpha and Omega here today.

Real talk: I'm not sure I'm ready for this kind of responsibility.

Let me try again...

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Labyrinth_Creation

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Artistic_Creation

...this is still kind of too much, too obvious.

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Organic_Weapons

Now we're cooking with napalm.

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Psionics/Gallery

...I don't...

Okay, so, /what had happened was/...in a previous incarnation I apparently ascended to some form of local psychopomp. Got into a dispute with some other members of the local pantheon about the responsibilities and entitlements of having power over the lives of the mortal realm, coming down on the side of minimal interference. Since letting things sit is boring, got challenged to trade spots with one of the Muses: since I was trying to prove that meddling in mortal realms would inevitably lead to catastrophe I was challenged to take their power and show just how much damage I could do.

Why would I accept this? Because apparently I had a gods-damned plan. Started out fairly scribbly, but got in plenty of practice while the muse I traded with handled the whole 'moving dead people around' thing. Created an identity among mortals as a sort of mad scientist promising secrets and power to anyone who could navigate my mazes.

Team of enterprising mortals gets to the center of the great labyrinth and I unveil the pinnacle of my imaginings brought to life: a Device that will transpose the powers of Gods into the Mortal realm.

I invite them to press the button, and after some dithering, someone does.

Whole world goes sideways: There are no gods, but everyone is god-like to some degree. For the old gods, this is the apocalypse, and not all of them adapt well to the loss of power or the sudden rush of competition.

In my specific case, I retain a dim echo of my power over Life, being able to mold my form as I see fit with a little help from the Artist's brush. In time, with the death of the Artist, my insight into the souls of others returns as well, allowing me to serve as a very dangerous therapist for very dangerous people in a suddenly very dangerous world.

Sorry that went on a bit further than the intended scope, but when I finally started getting 'smallish' rolls it all started clickin'.

I seem to be really lucky with these

Power 1: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Infra-sound_Hearing
Power 2: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Feral_Mind

Mine is really simple. My character has the ability of hearing sounds above and below the range of human hearing. He later discovered that this was due to the fact that he tapped into the primal side of his brain due to an overly large neo cortex and he has heightened senses of smell and sound, an intuition with animals and an incredible survival instinct

Rerol!

Blood resistance [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Blood_Resistance]

I assume this means I am a vampire or other blood drinking monster? cause, y'know the ability suppress a thirst for blood I don't actually have is not exactly useful. Marvel at my ability to not make a crisis situation worse by trying to eat you! Could you imagine turning up to a superhero groups?

"What power do you have?"
"I can suppress my hunger for blood"
"Oh um...you hunger for blood?"
"no"
"But you just said..."
"Oh no! you see if I was ever hungry for blood I would be able to suppress it."
"right" *backs away slowly*

Although I suppose if knew this before hand you could intentionally get vampirized to fight fire with fire without being a danger.

Trick arrows [http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Trick_Arrows]

Well this is easy and boring.

Good vampire that has trained themselves to hunt other vampires using a bow with various specialised arrows. I'm fairly certain this plot has been used many times. Or maybe just lack of blood lust doesn't get in the way on me finding new and exciting arrow related ways to kill people. That sounds more fun.

First: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Pride_Embodiment -Powered by pride. Vague

Second: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Variable_Manipulation -Reality warper. Always vague.

So these are both vaguely defined powers that kind of let the user do what they feel like. Obviously I rolled a villain for an X-men miniseries. Maybe from the late 90's. It's probably a relaunch of a silver/ bronze age villain, making them a credible threat and distancing them a little from the pride gimmick.

"Do you really think you can defeat me? Excellent!"

I got decelerated aging (doesn't specify how slow) and meta teleportation (can teleport to any place and or time or do the same with any object).

Well, with my decelerated aging, I had plenty of time to bone up on my knowledge of quantum mechanics. After 37 years of experiments, Me and my elite team figured out how to teleport a human and their clothes without fusing them together or fusing with anything nearby.
Eventually, this technology got more advanced, compact, and efficient and it could fit in my pocket and I could teleport anywhere instantly. By this time, my team has died of natural causes and I'm the only one who knows about this technology. Eventually, someone else invents a time machine, I easily steal the prototype and improve on it until it's the size of a brick and can teleport me anywhen instantly.

My first power: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Intelligence_Transference - The ability to transfer the intellectual capabilities from one being to another

My second power: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Web_Generation - Well basically the ability to generate webbing

So I suppose the way I could link these is that I would use my Intelligence Transference to obtain the intelligence of a top genetic engineer, preferably one studying in the field of gene splicing, and use this knowledge to somehow combine parts of a spider's DNA with my own to allow me to generate my own web for whatever use I may want it for. Can;t really think of another way to do it.

First Run:

My first power was: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Unnoticeability - LAME! Although it made me laugh all too hard, kinda reminds me of the heavy solider in Fire Emblem: Awakening, the guy no one ever notices.
My second power is: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Meteor_Summoning - This... Makes up for the first power in any and every frick'n way possible!

Ladies and gentlemen, that is the true essence of going from zero to hero

Second Run:

First: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Ionikinetic_Constructs - Ok actually this looks pretty cool.
Second: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Needle_Manipulation - I can... Manipulate... Needles? MOVING ON!

This does sound like it could be an interesting combination

Third & Final run:

First: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Electrical_Beam_Emission - Hot damn!!!
Second: http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Corporealization - Kinda useless but I do have some idea what it could be used for.

(Evil thought machine): kill people, bring them back to a physical form, and blsat them again destroying their souls! Mwahahahaha! >:D
