Above the Herd

Achilles Heel: Above The Herd by Senator Cybus

Whether it's due to a condition imposed by some empowering, supernatural force or simply the result of an out of control superiority complex, the end result is the same: the superbeing must not walk upon the ground!
If he wishes to retain use of his powers, he must float or fly at least 12 inches above the floor at all times. Coming into contact with the ground (which for the purposes of this flaw includes soil, sidewalks, bridges, carpeted surfaces and any other surface that a normal human being would have to walk on to move across) will cause all of his paranormal abilities to instantly shut down. He cannot regain his powers until he is once again at least 12 inches off the ground, and even then he must wait 1D6 x 10 minutes for them to return!
Obviously, the superbeing prefers to keep airborne. However, this makes it effectively impossible to blend into a crowd or disguise oneself. It also makes social interaction more difficult, as the ceaseless hovering is somewhat intimidating: reduce M.A. by 4.
Note: This flaw is only suitable for characters with one of the flight powers; it should never be used as a way of getting Flight: Hover for free.
