Skies opening up into hellfire
Weather Control: Ultimate
- Ranged Attack Only
- Area Affect
- Target Seeker
- Multi-Attacks
This is what piqued my interest in the AoC disasters in the first place. When the description of a natural disaster involves hellfire, you really want to look at it more closely. Like I said, I'm not willing to tell you exactly what made these things happen, but I'll warn you that you should look into aluminum foil headgear until this stuff blows over or you'll be getting nasty headaches a couple decades later.
Records of a distant rumbling
Earth Quake: Ultimate
- Ranged Attack Only
- Area Affect
- Multi-Attacks
This thing and the weather phenomena, I was surprised to find, were completely unrelated to each other. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why the weather would cause geological disturbances like this. When I finally figured out that it was a complete coincidence that they happened at the same time, I began to wonder more how exactly the city managed to stay erect when by the time it was over.
From here to there
Teleportation: Standard
I'd visit the location of a disaster about a hundred times to make sure that everything is looked at by a fresh mind. By that time in my life, I'd become a master at popping into a time no more than a moment after I'd left from a previous excursion. You really have to be careful when you're doing this kind of thing. You pop too far forward in time, you miss part of the show. You pop too far back in time, you risk meeting yourself and generally screwing up your own personal timeline. I can never forget that one time when I told myself not to watch that one movie about the talking dog under any circumstances. I also kind of wish I'd listened to me. Man, that was a terrible movie...
Vacation Time
Regeneration: Standard
The best thing about time travel: You can always take a week's vacation without anybody noticing. More to the point, you can recuperate from a nasty gash on the head for a week without anybody noticing. Okay... They do notice. You don't disappear for half a second bleeding from the cut on your arm and then reappear with a bandaid and a new set of clothes without generating a few questions. Not that people noticed during the AoC Disasters. They tended to be more worried about getting out of the way of those falling blocks of masonry or avoiding the next lightning strike. Strange how people tend to ignore the important facts while their lives are in danger.
The Palaeontolgy Department
Weapons Creation: Standard
Okay, I've got a buddy in the palaeontology department who's able to sneak me a couple hunting weapons when it looks like things are gonna be difficult. Nothing really useful or that can be missed. Maybe a hunting knife or a hatchet, but nothing more complex. I'm surprised, actually. These palaeontologists must be really tough cookies to be able to fend off a raptor with just this stuff. But I'll bet they'd be wetting their pants if their raptors could fly and breathe fire just like I did when I saw my first opponent.
The History Books
Tactician: Standard
As I settled into my routine of travelling back to one of the AoC disasters and fighting off the odd mutant, I began to wonder whether any of these fights might have been recorded somewhere. I looked around now and then until I found a document that said that I was a fighter in the Fantasy Powers League. Back then, I figured that I was given the title automatically for killing metahumans, according to their primitive laws. In my records was a transcript of my "battles" and how I finally managed to defeat my opponents. I figured that using this, I could stop these guys faster and get back to studying the disasters like a good historian. It worked, you know. I'm alive, aren't I?
