Team Dynamics
Okay, so say you're on a team that includes an Atlanean Wizard, an Atleanean water-bender, an angelic-type, a guy with just about every power under the sun, a semi-Kryptonian with tactile telekinesis, a pair of avatars of order and chaos, and a super-speedster... and you... have some acrobatics, martial arts, and a giant Bug-Ship.

How in the heck do you keep up with that? How do you deal with being the only person on the team without any super-powers?

	You fight back with tech, brains, and the fact that everyone is going to underestimate you simply because you have no powers. And if ya ever visit my universe, I'll lend ya a few Goblin Pills. That way you can at least have temporary powers. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Brains, I've got. Skills I've got. Just hard to feel useful sometimes, compared to all of that. Goblin pills? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Superhuman abilities can make people sloppy if they're overused. It also makes them predictable. Keep your mind sharp, your body fit, and your eyes open. You can turn any disadvantage into an asset if you keep your head when everyone else loses theirs. (Reply to this)(Thread)
