Solar Battery 100
Due to his Kryptonian physiology's interaction with yellow solar radiation, Kal-El's body has absorbed a lifetime of solar energy, which he can tap for a number of purposes. Superman can currently store up to 100 stones of Solar Energy, which can be spent for the following purposes, and regenerate at a rate of 1/hour if he has access to yellow solar radiation (being indoors, nighttime, cloudcover, etc do not stop this regeneration, but being deep underground or out of the solar system of a yellow star will).
- As Strong/Fast as he needs to be: Superman can spend stones from Solar Battery to increase his Strength or Speed for 1 panel.
- Heat Vision: Solar Battery stones may be spent 1-for-1 to provide a "Weapon Modifier" to Ranged Combat. Heat Vision includes X3 damage.
- Super Breath: On a 1-for-1 basis, can be used as a Weapon Modifier for Ranged Combat. Area Affect, but does no damage. Can be used to put out fires, create high winds, etc. When used against moving targets, stones of effect reduce target's Speed (or other movement power) on a 3-for-1 basis. If the target is reduced to Zero, they cannot move that panel.
- Ice Breath: As above, but Superman's breath is super-cooled. Area Attack vs. target Speed & Defense. Target is frozen in place for a number of panels equal to stones of effect
- Absorb Damage: Should he take damage, Superman can lose stones from his Solar Battery rather than taking damage. Superman cannot use Solar Battery to absorb damage from Kryptonite.
- Resist/Throw Off Mental Assault: Superman may temporarily boost his resistance to Telepathic Assault, including such assaults from magic. Mental Resistance is increased at a rate of 1-for-1. Superman can use this even after a Telepathic power has been successfully used against him, but only if others are in danger.
- Self-Sacrifice For the Greater Good: In dire situations, Superman can commit feats that even he would not normally be capable of, but doing so requires his willingness to be hurt or even die to succeed. Superman can spend 10 stones from his Solar Battery to stop a nearby target from taking damage. He instead takes the damage himself, and may not block/absorb the damage in any way. He can can effect multiple targets this way, spending 10 stones from Solar Battery for each.
- Effective Immortality: So long as his body has access to yellow solar radiation, it will repair itself even if he is "dead." His Solar Battery will recharge at it's normal rate, then repair his body at a rate of one Durability/day. This can be accelerated with greater exposure to solar radiation.
[CHALLENGES]
========================
Compulsion to stick up for the underdog (+5)
(Clark is young yet, and hasn't learned that he cannot save everyone. He burdens himself with the belief that all suffering is somehow his fault)
Conflicting interests (+4)
(Maintaining his secret identity and having a "normal" life vs. doing as much good as possible)
Deadly enemies (+5)
(Clark doesn't know it yet, but he's a magnet for trouble...)
Elemental sensitivity (+3)
(Red Solar Radiation: Clark loses 1 point from his Solar Battery each hour that he is subject to Red Solar Radiation. When the Solar Battery is empty, all of his Superhuman Abilities, Actions, and Modifiers begin dropping by 1 per hour until they are at human norm.)
Haunted past (+3)
(The last son of Krypton, feels like he is always alone)
Prying relatives, friends, associates (+1)
(Ma & Pa Kent, Lana Lang)
Special vulnerabilities (+5)
(Various forms of Kryptonite and Magic)
