Gumdrop (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

"You can never have too much sugar."

The superbeing unlocks the explosive potential of sugar simply by touching it and can affect it in such a way to cause a timed explosion.

1. Sugar Alteration: The superbeing can affect pieces of candy or gum to cause them to unlock the potential explosive energy of the sugar contained within. This uses one melee attack/action to alter the candy, which will explode after the superbeing's ME attribute number in minutes, plus one minute per level, if not set to detonate sooner. 50 pounds of candy can be affected at one time, plus 5 pounds per level, if in a pile or crate.

2. Sugar Detonation: The superbeing can use his power to detonate the candy from a distance at any time prior to its minute limit above, or can set the candy too detonate automatically within that time.

Range: The superbeing can detonate the candy from a distance of 400 feet, plus 100 feet per level, maximum. This will detonate all altered candy within range when triggering it in this way. Using a timed detonation must be done by touch but will only detonate the piece of candy set to detonate. Blast radius varies with each type of candy.
Duration: Can be detonated or set to detonate at any time prior to the maximum duration of the superbeing's attribute number in minutes, plus one minute per level.
Attacks: Uses one melee attack/action to trigger the detonation or to set it to detonate at a set time. Since candy is sticky, it can be made to adhere to a surface before detonation for maximum effect.
Damage: Blast damage and radius varies based on the type of candy involved.
Pixy Stick: One pixy stick will explode for 1d4X10 damage, with an effective casualty radius of 10 feet. Tootsie rolls have the same blast radius but do only half the damage (1d4X5).
Gumdrop: A gumdrop will explode for 4d4X10 damage, with an effective casualty radius of 20 feet.
Bubble Gum: This can be used to form a shaped charge for opening safes and sabotage, doing 1d4X10 damage to an area of about a foot.
Note that damage is cumulative based on the amount of candy detonated at one time, multiplying in damage and casualty radius the more candy is used.

3. Other Abilities and Bonuses:

Resistant to Explosives: The superbeing only takes half damage from explosions and fire attacks.
