Primer vs

[Tami]

I just finished reading this TPB



About a teenager who gains superpowers through different colored paints.

She has up to 33 different superpowers to choose from

But can only use 3 at a time. Also the paints wash off with water.

Based on the powers listed above, and assuming she has enough prep info and time to decide which three colors to use ....

1. Who might be the strongest characters she can take out?
2. Who might be the weakest characters that can take her out?

Here is some additional information and a preview

Super-strength, super-speed and invulnerability ... but at what level?

Those powers could be possessed at Pre-Crisis Superman levels or at class one/mach one level.

If I had a nickel for every teenage girl with paint based super powers, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

Depending on how powerful she is, Power Nullification/Telekinesis/Force Fields would be all she needs. She'd be set to take out anyone who could be affected by Power Nullification, Telekinesis and Force Fields would handle any non-powered people who weren't tech'ed up past her own power level, and Force Fields covers her from getting the paint washed off.

Alternately, take out Telekinesis for Mind Control, and that helps her against Tech-people/unpowered people while still granting her the protection of Force Fields.

As Shai-Hulud notes, all of this is dependent on how powerful she actually is, feat-wise.

That preview showed her catching a plane and landing it on a runway. She picked Strength, Invulnerability, and Fire. That's not a bad starter on feats. Especially when she uses Fire to straighten the plane away from the river and move it to the airport.

I would want to see more (how good is superspeed), but I would move her past CBPH for certain.

As for fights, high-end, Her against Beast Boy or Wonder Girl would be interesting. Low-end, She wants no part of any WaterBender. No sonic protection so Bat-Girl (Cassandra) is a bad matchup.

I got that reference!

Although you aren't counting the entire Inkling female population.

Do her Duplicates share her powers or can they use different powers to give themselves different combinations?

Beyond that Invulnerability + Regeneration + Mind Control seems like a pretty potent combo, depending on levels as others have queried.

Art looks nice though, is the book any good?

[T51R]

She's screwed if she messes with either Ah Gou or Tian from Feng Shen Ji.

The moment they start spamming Divine Power: Monochrome, all colours go away.

Also, any Hokuto master.

"Why are my powers malfunctioning!?"

"They're not. Heaven Breaking Impalement: TENHA KASSATSU! I struck a pressure point that changes the blood flow to your eyes. You can't tell which colour is which anymore..."

I enjoyed it very much. It's aimed at a younger audience, but it was funny and well written and yes I liked the art work too.

I'm hoping that this was just the first intro to Primer and that we might see more of her. I'm not sure if she can duplicate herself with one color then use different colors on her duplicates.
