Suction(Major) by Taalismn

“You suck, man, you SUCK!”

The superbeing can cause atmosphere or liquids to displace themselves, moving through a narrow ‘bottleneck’ to produce a suction effect with the following effects/applications:

1: -Suction Draw---The superbeing can create the suction effect at a remove from himself/herself, to pull objects(and people) around. The ‘bottleneck’ can be defined as a space as narrow as 3 inches or as wide as 3 ft through which air is drawn. The effect can be used to siphon atmosphere from one locale to another, ventilate an area, pick up small objects, and, as an offensive power, slam people through opennings and into walls.

Range: The suction point can be created as far away as 10 ft +5 ft per level of experience, and the suction effects have a range of 30 ft +10 ft per level of experience(typically affects a 45-degree area of effect).

Damage: None normally. Suction Draw has a pull strength equivalent to the superbeing’s P.E. and P.S. combined, +2 per level of experience, and is considered Superhuman Strength(example: Doc Hoover has a P.E. of 10 and a P.S. of 12, and is 8th level...10+12+16 equals 38...x20 for carrying weight...His suction power can pull 760 lbs of weight!). Picking up and THROWING an object as a missile with this power uses the P.S. 38 for calculating range and damage....same applies for grabbing somebody and throwing them into a wall or deliberately too narrow openning for damage purposes.

2. -Adhesion---The superbeing can use his suction abilities to stick to surfaces, anchor himself in place(with a strength equivalent to that of the Suction-Draw ability above), and even climb walls and ceilings(reduce speed to 1/4)

3.-Vacuum Welding---By placing two perfectly flat, polished, surfaces next to each other, and then drawing out all the air, the superbeing can effectively weld them together. Takes about 30 seconds to accomplish, and the surfaces must be smooth, flat, and non-porous.

4.-Other Bonuses: +2 to save against airborne toxins, gases, and pollutants
