Sound Manipulation
The hero can control existing sound. He can increase sound's Intensity +1CS by means of a Power rank FEAT or decrease it by his Power rank number. It also provides the hero with Resistance to sound-based Powers; again, his Power rank number decreases the Intensity the attack.
This is possibly the single most useful Power of all those that don't do actual damage. The uses are infinite:- Muting the voices of an opponent group, thus preventing them from coordinating their actions.
- Muting alarms.
- Magnifying distant sounds to make them audible at the hero's location
- Increasing faint sounds to enable the hero to perform certain actions (like cracking a combination lock).
- Destroying boom boxes if the hero doesn't like the music.
- Cranking up boom boxes if he does
Okay, a lot of the uses are somewhat frivolous. Still, the ability to knock out voice is a powerful weapon.
Sound Manipulation can also be used to reinforce sound based Powers. The hero can raise the other Power rank +1CS as long as this Power functions.
This has a Bonus Power of Sound Generation.
Optional Powers include Vibration and Vibration Control.
