There&#8217;s no equivalent in Strands of the old Advanced Marvel Super Heroes &#8216;Power Stunt&#8217;, but I think it&#8217;s fair to allow a PC to flex their powers in new and different ways just by spending a Fate Point. This also allows characters to use Powers they maybe didn&#8217;t have a budget for, that they don&#8217;t actually use in the fiction that much, and\/or that Strands doesn&#8217;t actually have stats for.<\/p>\n<p>One example of such a Power is PC-capable non-vehicle FTL flight. In many ways, FTL flight is just an extension of the Fate fractal; your campaign extends through space? Okay, spend a Fate Point and tell me how you&#8217;re getting to the next star system. Done, simple.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing I&#8217;ve been hand-waving away with a lot of PC writeups is secret identities. You don&#8217;t have to buy the Alias Advantage to have a secret ID, of course, and many of these characters don&#8217;t really need the extra Aspects, so I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s a real need. If you really want, though, you can tweak the characters I post so they have a the Alias Advantage. I&#8217;d love to see alternate versions of any of these characters.<\/p>\n<p>Cosplayer unknown, sorry.<\/p>\n<p>The Surfer is an absolute monster in terms of points. A lot of his Powers could probably be folded back into Control (Cosmic Energy), but many of them he can just do, easily, so it doesn&#8217;t seem right that he should need to roll for them and risk failure.<\/p>\n<p>Character Name: The Silver Surfer \/ Norrin Radd<br \/>\nPlayer Name: Various<\/p>\n<p>Details<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>XP 0<\/li>\n<li>PL Infinity- Class<\/li>\n<li>FP\/Refresh 6 (4 sold back for Advantage Pts.)<\/li>\n<li>TL 6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Aspects<\/p>\n<p>Defining Aspect<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Former Herald of Galactus, turned Sentinel of the Spaceways<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Character Aspects<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ambition: To soar through space, exploring and protecting the innocent.<\/li>\n<li>Background: Dreamer and born explorer from a utopian planet that had turned its back on the stars, Zenn-La.<\/li>\n<li>Conviction: \u201cAll life is sacred!\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Disadvantages: Feels lonely and distant from other life, since he gained his awesome powers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Specialty Aspects<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exceptional Skill: Blinding Speed in the Air (Agility)<\/li>\n<li>Foes: Galactus, Thanos, various warmongering aliens (Persuasion)<\/li>\n<li>Gear: His cosmic surfboard (Resources)<\/li>\n<li>Help: The Fantastic Four, Mantis, Nova, the original Defenders (Persuasion)<\/li>\n<li>Inferior Skill: Widely feared as a former Herald of Galactus (Persuasion)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Physical Abilities<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Agility 4<\/li>\n<li>Endurance 4<\/li>\n<li>Perception 3<\/li>\n<li>Strength 4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mental Abilities<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Craft 0<\/li>\n<li>Knowledge 3<\/li>\n<li>Reasoning 3<\/li>\n<li>Willpower 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Social Abilities<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deception 1<\/li>\n<li>Empathy 4<\/li>\n<li>Persuasion 1<\/li>\n<li>Resources 0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Power Abilities<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Affinity &#8211; The Power Cosmic 5\n<ul>\n<li>Power Source: Silver Metallic Skin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Advantages<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Experienced *4 (-8, Increased Abilities, SoP pg. 16)<\/li>\n<li>The Power Cosmic (Total -24 -34 = -58):\n<ul>\n<li>Armor (-1, SoP pg. 43)\n<ul>\n<li>Modifiers: Improved Armor (-1)<\/li>\n<li>Passive (-2)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Breathless (-2, SoP pg. 58).<\/li>\n<li>Control (Cosmic Energy, -7, SoP pg. 154)<\/li>\n<li>Flight (-3, SoP pg. 72)\n<ul>\n<li>Modifiers: Super-Fast and Agile (-5)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Lifeless (-3, SoP pg. 91)<\/li>\n<li>Power Attack &#8211; Ranged (-2, SoP pg. 114)\n<ul>\n<li>Modifiers:\n<ul>\n<li>Beam (-1)<\/li>\n<li>Improved Weapon Rating (-1)<\/li>\n<li>Long Range (-1)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Super Agility (World Class, -8, SoP pg. 134)\n<ul>\n<li>Modifier: Passive (-2)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Super Endurance (World Class, -5, SoP pg. 135)\n<ul>\n<li>Modifier: Passive (-2)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Super-Strength (World Class, -6, SoP pg. 136)\n<ul>\n<li>Modifier: Passive (-2)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Transmute Matter or Energy (-5, SoP pg. 148)<\/li>\n<li>Weakness: The Surfer begins to lose all his powers when he\u2019s trapped away from cosmic energy, such as trapped in a lead-lined box (+1)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stress<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Physical 18<\/li>\n<li>Mental 6<\/li>\n<li>Social 1<\/li>\n<li>Wealth 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Gear<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>His cosmic surfboard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Lantern John Stewart for Strands of Fate I am a big fan of the old Justice League and Justice League Unlimited cartoons, so for me, the best Green Lantern is John Stewart.
