Super sense: [Minor] by Iczer

'Whoa Quickminx, you almost had me there'

The character posesses a kind of low level emergency response to the use of superpowers in his vicinity. More like a passive danger sense than an actual detection power, it does give the character an edge in super power combat.
Range: 100 feet centred on himself
abilities: enjoys an autododge (+3) against any super powers, and has +2 to initiative against super powered foes.
Cannot be suprised by the use of superpowers, negating any suprise bonus provided by them.
Opponents targetting the character are -4 to strike him with the use of superpowers, and the target has +2 to any saving throw agsints those powers.
When facing a superhumanly augmented foe (ex-ps, ex PP etc) the character enjoys a +2 to strike and parry agaisnt that foe.
The character also takes half damage from super powered enery. the character can inflict half normal damage agaisnt invulnerable characters and treats any superhumanly derived AR as being 3 less than normal.
How to counter: While the character enjoys a great many bonuses, the best way to defeat him is to simply not use powers against him. Attacks against the character without the benefit of inborn superabilities simply negates this power altogether. He has no special defence against a car hurled by superhuman strength, nor the punches of a superhuman lacking any enhanced attributes.
