Alternate Identity [minor] by Iczer

'No one must suspect that I live a double life'

The character can suppress his powers and abilities, compressing them inside himself to appear more human. It takes but one melee to transform between his 'powered' and 'unpowered' selves.
While 'unpowered', the character's attributes normalize (are averaged towards 10) and unwanted mutations and side effects are muted. He has no access to his powers during this time, and his SDC becomes 2D10, plus any bonuses for physical attributes and training. While unpowered, he does not register as a superpowered being.
When powered up he has all his normal attributes and powers, as well as any side effects and mutations. His powered self is more attractive and vital, gaining +2 to MA and PB, and gaining about 10-40lbs of muscle and definition. His appearance doesn't change overmuch between forms. The powered self and the unpowered self are pretty much the same barring any obvious alterations or mutations, though the powered self is a little more...heroic looking. Friends and family will not be fooled, though the rest of the world will find it hard to believe that 'Parker Kent' is really 'the Superspider'.
