Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

It's kind of a tacit rule that it's about comic book super powers so we don't go biblical with it, but I get it. Hell, marvel has reality benders. I use "pick a mutant power" so at least we're working in x-men lore.
And still, something like Prof X is almost always the correct answer. IIRC he has the power to just make the entire world drop dead if he wants to
I mean, technically his power is telepathy, just dialed up to 11. You could probably specify limits on magnitude.
Any power can be OP if you up the magnitude of it all... E.g. I shapeshift into the sun, ending all life on earth.
I think shapeshifting is different from matter transmutation. So you're just be a big Sun made of flesh. Which would probably still bake the planet, but not for fusion reasons.
I think something as simple as: You can't break the law of conservation of mass, law of conservation of energy or exceed the speed of light would cut out most bullshit.
