Stretching: Revised

Stretching: Revised (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

This is a modified version of the power appearing in the HU2 main book, p. 291-293.

This power makes the character's body super-elastic and malleable, enabling him to distort and elongate limbs or the entire body.

1. Stretching Appendages: The most notable plus to this aspect of the ability is the vastly increased range of reach.

Neck: PE number in feet maximum length

Fingers: One third of PE number in feet maximum length

Arms: Twice the PE number in feet maximum length

Legs: Four times the PE number in feet maximum length

Body: Ten times the PE number in feet maximum length

2. Stretching Contortions: Use subability in the book as written.

3. Bounceability: The character is able to puff himself up like a balloon and bounce. In this form, punches, kicks, collisions, explosive force and falls do no damage. The height of a self-initiated bounce from ground level is one third of PE number in feet, double to triple if deliberately struck or pushed by a powerful superhuman, explosive force or speeding vehicle. Propelling himself withe the elongated arms and bouncing will triple his normal speed.

4. Special Maneuvers: The same as for the regular Stretching power, except that gliding is done at half the PE number in miles per hour speed requiring a wind of 2mph or higher. Maximum Speed if dropped from an airplane or great height is only twice normal gliding speed.
