Superpower Wiki Warfare

So I thought about running a game like TCM's Wikipedia Article Warfare, except using the Superpower Wiki instead of Wikipedia. A hole crap-ton of this is blatantly stolen from borrowed from other threads, with a few exceptions.

There will be a 48-hour time limit between updates. This may be shortened or lengthened depending on demand for either.

*New Gameplay Addition!*
Rather than pay for an additional power, you can choose to reroll all existing powers for the same amount of Kills as you have current powers. Maybe you like Precognitive Dreaming but feel like needing to be KO'd to use your powers is too risky? Just murder a bloke and reroll! You might get Heat Vision or something!

Gameplay:

The goal of this game is to incapacitate all of the other players to the point where they can not incapacitate you back. The simplest way to achieve this goal would be to kill the other players, or put them in a comatose/long-term K.O.'d state, but there are other viable methods including complete subduction or damage to one's mind to the point where they can't even cognitively function well enough to be a proper contender anymore. The first player to get 6 Kills will be the Champion. If you are permanently incapacitated, your Kill count will be reset to 0.

The game runs on a 10-sided die system for completing actions, so a rolled 10 will result in the complete satisfaction of the intended action, whereas a 1 will result in the direct opposite. Everyday simple actions require no rolls. Things like climbing a ladder, breaking down a door or hacking through an electronic lock, will.

Each player receives 1 Superpower, based on 1 random Superpower Wiki Article loaded for them. Superpowers have some sort of effect on the player, oftentimes a modifier to certain types of rolls, or access to a non-standard ability. For example, if the Random Article is Enhanced Swordsmanship, may give the player a +4 to actions involving the use of Swords or similarly-shaped Sword-type items. An example of a non-standard ability is Disintegration Beam, which lets you fire beams that disintegrate your opponents.
[Note: I may or may not decide to reroll super extremely OP superpowers such as Supernova Inducement. Maybe.]
Superpowers can be gained by paying for them with Kills (2 per new superpower), though the new superpower will of course be chosen at random. Some superpowers such as Consumptive Replication allow you to gain or steal superpowers for free!

But won't this result in huge disparities, with one player starting with Plasma Bolt Projection, another with Telekinesis, and another with Eye Colour Manipulation? Of course! That's what makes this fun! Be creative, that's why the goal is to incapacitate, not just kill. A player can be blessed with getting the article for Absolute Immortality, but that makes them far from unbeatable.

Abilities can be inherently bad, may carry risky side-effects, and could simply be almost useless. It's also possible for two players could have the same superpower but with functionally different penalties and bonuses.

The location of the game will be the first random article from Wikipedia I get that could physically hold all of the players simultaneously. This location will serve as the boundary for the game's first 3 Turns, after which the boundary will dissipate. The location could vary from a cruise ship, to the entire country of Moldavia, to a gas station in Central America, to the planet Vegeta, etc.

In till we need the dragon balls to destroy the planet.
Also not quite sure this fits as a RTD, you see a RTD is a roleplay where a 1 counts as epic fail and a 6 (or a ten in this case) means you did so well that something bad happens.

The true definition of RTD is hard to pin down.  There have been several that use different die, though it is true that they do have overshoots and this does not...

Yes, I know but the most important thing is the "epic fail" and "horrendous over shoot."

No. Most important thing is that player gets roll to dodge.
