Antennae
Antennae (Major) by Stone Gargoyle
This is a Major version of the power appearing in Powers Unlimited One.
The hero has thick rod-like limbs protruding from his forehead which cannot be hidden.
1. Keen Sense of Smell and Hearing: The antennae can hear and smell as if the hero possesses the superabilities of Heightened Sense of Smell and Heightened Sense of Hearing.
At 75 feet, he can hear sounds as quiet as 1 decibel. At 150 feet, he can hear sounds as quiet as 10 decibels. At 360 feet, he can still detect normal conversations. Loud noises do not really interfere with this.
