(A random superpower deathmatch. Except the superpowers are from https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/random)
(The first game)

You wake up. You feel incredibly cold, you can't move a muscle, and you can't see anything past the fogged up glass a few inches in front of your face.
"Rise and shine, fresh batch of disposable test subjects. Welcome to the next round of testing. I'm sorry we had to choose you but some sacrifices have to be made in the name of progress. I think you'll like our new arena. Welcome to the space station "New Frontier".

This time we're giving you each two powers to hopefully balance things out a little. If you don't like either of them, you can trade them both for a third one. The rules are otherwise still the same, kill or completely incapacitate each other to earn points and receive new powers.

Round 2 starts in 10...9...8...
Oh yeah, and try not to destroy the entire universe this time, we're starting to run low."

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

Power: None Yet
The glass of your helmet defogs and you see that you're in a spacesuit floating in space. You're surrounded by stars, the sheer volume and emptiness of space is overwhelming. Your suit is bulky and clumsy and seems like it's made for someone a few inches taller and wider, and your trenchcoat is awkwardly bunched up inside it. As you rotate the space station comes into your view. It consists of a small central tower surrounded by three large rings. The upper ring is slightly bent and has a chunk broken off. There are a few ships of different sizes and makes docked at the station. You are tethered to the station by a long rope with a clip at either end.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6byuc6/power_to_reduce_the_size_of_anything_by_4_over_a/
You have the power to give people the power to jump super high whenever both their feet are off the ground, like when running. But each person only gets to superjump for one day every four years. Also, you must be known as "Leap Year" otherwise you will be forced to use your powers for evil (or good) (whichever is the opposite of your alignment). You also have the power to reduce anything by 4% over a four year period. What a coincidence!

Your pod opens. You're in a room with a large futuristic looking cannon. The cannon consists of two long cylindrical barrels connected to a large boxy part at the back. It's half in the room and half out, poking through a sealed porthole in the wall. There's a seat attached to the side of the cannon that looks like it moves with it, it has controls and a screen showing lots of complicated targeting information. You can also see through a viewscreen that the room is on a track on the outside of the station, and there's a control panel beneath the viewscreen that probably moves it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6gi4s0/power_to_teleport_to_anywhere_thats_not_owned_by/
You have the power to never trip while standing still, which could actually be useful. You also have the power to teleport anywhere not owned by any country. You can't use any other powers as long as you have this teleportation unfortunately. Is the space station even owned by any country?

A generic looking man comes out of a stasis pod next to yours. And then a generic looking humanoid.

Name: Nix
Description: A really tall dude. Possible acromegaly.
Power: None yet
You find yourself in a very large room filled with plants. It smells very earthy in here. A few of the plants are familiar earth vegetables like tomatoes and squash and lettuce, but there are a lot of weird looking alien plants. All the plants are growing in tanks of water instead of dirt. A few of the tanks look like repurposed fish tanks and bathtubs. There's a few farmers in jumpsuits tending to their plants.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6vgt44/the_ability_to_shape_shift_into_anyone_on_the/
You can shoot spaghetti out of your fingertips, both raw and cooked, but the spaghetti always tastes awful. You also have the ability to shapeshift into anyone on the FBI's most wanted list.

A guy wearing a huge papier-mache frog mask comes out of a stasis pod next to yours.

Name: Froggo the Frogman
Description: A mysterious human claiming to be a frog. Wears a huge papier-mâché frog mask.
Powers: None yet
Froggo finds himself in the hydroponics bay too, right next to a really tall guy who might have acromegaly.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/65p14p/you_can_turn_into_a_fiftyfoot_giant_at_will_but/
You can make anyone attracted to you, but only when you say the word "The" to them. You can also turn into a fifty foot giant at will but you aren't any stronger and still obey the square cube law, so you will probably die instantly, also you can't turn back.

Name: S. G. Johnson.
Description: IT LIVES! Again!!!
Power: None yet
You find yourself at a four way intersection in a cramped dusty maintenance tunnel. It's about one meter tall so you have to almost crawl. There's an arrow on the floor pointing each direction, they say "Computer core", "Living quarters", "Power generator", and "Hydroponics". The tunnels are pointing off in random directions instead of at right angles, and gravity seems to be acting a bit funny.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6f8wtz/bugzapper_you_emit_a_lowpower_field_that_kills/
https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/69tjpm/the_power_to_sweat_profusely_at_will/
You emit a low power bug zapper field that kills any bugs and pests near you, and might slightly annoy anything larger if they're within a foot of you for a couple minutes. You also have the power to sweat profusely at will. You're not any better at hugging though.

A really tall dude in an awesome trenchcoat comes crawling into the intersection.

Name:Bob
Description: Its Bob
Powers: None yet
Your pod opens into the cannon room, right next to a dark brooding antihero wearing all black clothes.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6xv0sr/you_are_able_to_leap_tall_buildings_in_a_single/
https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/65wuda/ability_to_make_everyone_around_you_dance_at_the/
You can leap tall buildings in a single bound, but you don't have any special way to survive the landing. You also have the ability to force everyone around you to dance and start sweating profusely, triggered by dropping a hat. You should probably find a hat to drop.

A generic looking humanoid being exits another stasis pod beside yours.

Name: Aht Hisa. Gain
Description: A middle aged man with brown hair, brown eyes and a shaved chin. He has the look of someone who has overcome a massive pringle addiction.
Power: None yet
Your pod opens. There's slow synth music playing. You think you're in a bar. It's relatively quiet. A few patrons are sitting at a round table playing some sort of card game, a few more are scattered around drinking. There's stalls with helmets lining one wall, a few being used. You see the barkeep, a green woman with a robot arm, standing at what looks like a spaceship cockpit converted into a bar counter.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6tssi5/the_ability_to_figure_out_any_initialism_or/
https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6wnswq/you_taste_everything_you_look_at/
You get the ability to figure out any initialism or acronym on Reddit (do they even have Reddit on this space station?), and the ability to taste everything you look at. There's a lot of booze here.

You almost puke and get very nauseous from the taste of hundreds of different drinks at once. Not all the drinks are made for human consumption. Then you close your eyes and the disgusting flavour instantly goes away, replaced by the slightly salty flavour of your eyelids.

"Are you okay there bud? Let's getcha to the sick bay."

Name:Sugoi!
Description:A Typical anime girl. Wearing clothes that fit with their assigned superpowers. (optional)
Power: None yet
(Automatically wearing clothes that fits with your assigned superpowers is a superpower, and a better one than most here. You start with the same grey jumpsuit as everyone else who doesn't specify their appearance. :) )

Your pod opens into a room with a large holographic map of the milky way galaxy in the center. There's an obviously oversized hologram of the station at the very tip of one of the galaxies arms. The walls of the room are completely lined with consoles and screens. You see some of your fellow test subjects on some of the screens! Most of the chairs are empty but there are a few bored seeming people here.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6mp9jz/the_power_to_give_yourself_mental_disorders/
https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/673evs/you_can_light_yourself_on_fire_like_the_human/
You have the power to give yourself mental disorders which last about an hour, and you have the power to light yourself on fire but you lack any heat resistance. You probably need the first power to want to use the second.

A chitinous alien puts down his book and swivels his chair around. He says in a very raspy voice "You lost?".

....you know what? Why not?
Name: Senn Pae
Description: Sorta typical anime dominant male figure. Appearance slightly based on powers (optional)
Power: None yet
Your pod opens into a loud room filled with lots of machines and people working. There are lasers, robot arms, 3d printers, drills, saws, welders and a lot more that you don't recognize. One especially large machine is going ChugChugChug nonstop. It seems to be a machine shop. No one here seems to be taking any safety measures at all and no one notices you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/69yy6g/the_power_of_hindsight/
https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6sxeh5/you_have_super_healing_and_super_strength_but_it/
You have the power of hindsight, the ability to know what you should have done. It works on other people too. You also have super healing and superstrength but it only works on Wednesdays and Sundays. What day is it?

Name: Breadweed Fragment
Description: After being ripped out of its host and shredded in a celestial trashcan, pieces of the entity that once possessed/was the creature known as Breadweed have been slowly drifting through the space between worlds. Recently, however, these shards have begun entering worlds and forming mortal shells around themselves. This humanoid is one such shell.
Powers: None (yet)
Breadweed also finds himself in the same cannon room with the generic man and the dark brooding antihero.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6ubjxa/everyone_finds_everything_that_you_say_funny_all/
https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6etvgs/the_power_to_boil_water_by_drinking_it/
Everybody finds everything you say funny no matter what. You also have the power to boil water by drinking it, obviously painful and harmful to yourself.

Name: Johnny
Description: Also a really tall dude, but this one's wearing an awesome trench coat.
Power: None yet, but did I mention the trench coat?
You find yourself in the same cramped maintenance tunnel intersection as S.G. Johnson.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6ep4gw/anytime_you_reach_into_a_container_without/
https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6lzuod/the_power_to_give_others_minor_food_poisoning/
Anytime you reach into a container without looking, you pull out rotten tomatoes. You also have the ability to give people minor food poisoning. These two actually seem to follow a consistent theme.

Name: Signe Me Uppe
Description: optional
Power: None yet
You wake up at the bar right next to a middle aged man with brown hair and no beard or pringles addiction. He looks nauseous and has his eyes closed. A patron in a large pitch black cloak is getting up to help him.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/6m48mt/you_can_transform_into_a_sperm_cell_of_any_animal/
https://www.reddit.com/r/shittysuperpowers/comments/65vdqd/ability_to_manipulate_the_volume_of_sound_a_bike/
You feel like you can stop time, but then the feeling suddenly goes away.
You can transform into the sperm cell of any animal. You can also manipulate bike horn volume levels from a distance, but only up to the maximum volume of the horn.

All of your stasis pods shrink until they disappear with a small pop.
"Don't try to leave the station or the bomb in your spine will go off. May the least unlucky person win!"
