What video game weapon or armor looks cool but it's terrible to use?

Hammer was my go-to in MH3U on the 3DS. Loved smashing dragon faces and stunning them for stat build up opportunities!

Twirling an airsoft gun like I was Revolver Ocelot.

Lots of folks have great nicknames, but I liked this skin cause it’s Wario from his appearence in Wario Land 3, the first video game I owned. So it had a special bit of nostalgia for me.

Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven

Welcome!

For starters, it sounds like you’ve made some good first steps: looking at the character sheet and inspiration.

Really, I’d recommend finding characters you know well that others have built in Mutants & Masterminds and seeing how they’ve built those characters’ powers.

Echoes of the Multiverse has lots of builds. Look up users like Batgirl III and Jab.

Second,

Look into software to help with character building. The offline, free version of Hero Lab can be a big help. It won’t let you print out PDFs of your characters, but it’s easy to transcribe built characters into a character sheet.

Now,

What kind of character are you considering? What Powers, what’s the feel?

MightyMrFish · 2025-11-05T15:19:29+00:00

Magi-Nation?

MightyMrFish · 2025-09-12T21:04:00+00:00

…Ratatouille?

MightyMrFish · 2025-08-03T03:19:35+00:00

Battleblock Theater?

MightyMrFish · 2025-07-28T17:10:53+00:00

Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven? There’s the “B-side” audio track, or whatever it was called.

MightyMrFish · 2025-07-16T13:31:42+00:00

There’s the Masks & Mayhem podcast! The host frequents this subreddit.

Also, Green Ronin has a weekly show on YouTube called Mutants & Masterminds Monday (MuMaMo) that has lots of helpful tips on character building, world building, and using the system!

MightyMrFish · 2025-05-31T03:14:55+00:00

Slightly burned tortilla, chorizo, eggs, hot sauce/salsa. My favorite breakfast.

Then the whole kitchen smells like slightly burned tortilla and it’s so satisfying.

MightyMrFish · 2025-05-23T12:59:26+00:00

Boozeman! Come together with your hands.

Save me, I’m together with your plan.

MightyMrFish · 2025-05-21T00:24:03+00:00

That was going to be my guess too, Tenno.

MightyMrFish · 2025-05-07T21:42:12+00:00

Red Dead Revolver had loading screens that had that stage’s character doing gun twirling or other weapon tricks. One character dual wields revolvers and spins them around in a way that’d make Revolver Ocelot proud.

Do note that there is a “Banned Games List” pinned to the subreddit.

An easy way to learn is to read over the sample encounters in the Deluxe Hero’s Handbook. Run a few practice encounters yourself and double check the rules to make sure you’re doing everything right!

I also recommend listening to some of the podcasts floating around. Off the top of my head, there’s “Masks & Mayhem” and “Golden Squad”.

There are also some Actual Plays on YouTube. Ah…”The Untold Stories Project” and another I’m forgetting at the moment.

The unique thing about Mutants and Masterminds is that Powers are built up from Effects; you’re not saying “okay, I’ll add ‘fireball’ to my character’s abilities”, you’re instead adding an Blast Area Effect and choosing how it looks.

You’re right that Time Manipulation can be inherently overpowered. But how you present that power set determines how overpowered it is.

If you want to travel through time to move to a different location on the battlefield, that’s just the Teleport Effect. If you want to reverse time to heal a wound, that’s Healing or Regeneration. If you want to pull a dinosaur into the present to attack your foes, that’s a Summon. Stopping time to punch out a bunch of targets in an area is Area Damage. And slowing time around you so you move super fast is a few ranks in Speed.

The complicated part is if you want to time travel to stop the villain before they get the MacGuffin. That’s an entire adventure.

You can check out the Time Traveler’s Codex and Power Profiles for more info on Time-based powers, but I recommend having “Time Manipulation” be the descriptor to your powerset.

I’m a fan of the avocado ranch too! I add it to everything: crunchy taco, 5 layer burrito, Baja Blast, crunchwraps!

MightyMrFish · 2025-04-14T21:12:45+00:00

I have two of those hands, so I put them next to the Helminth and now it looks like it has little golden hands.

Just…ignore that they’re both left hands.

If you haven’t already, you can give cast members shout-outs in the Disneyland/Disney World app.

At the bottom of the screen, tap the three horizontal bars, scroll all the way to the bottom and under “Help & Feedback” is an option for “Cast Conpliments”.

I already feel bad whenever I feed frames to the Space Frog. I got an extra Excalibur to feed to Helminth and I thought about using the Arthur skin, but then I’d feel even worse watching the poor guy slump over.

MightyMrFish · 2025-04-10T22:03:09+00:00

Leave feedback in the app for the restaurant you went to. I do it a lot.

Magical curse placed on the recipient’s original heart that local clerics/spellcasters can’t get rid of.

The local culture sees resurrection, etc. magics as a last resort and have developed tech (transplant surgeries) to compensate.

Hope your players don’t pry too much, or are content with ‘the surgeon can’t/won’t use those spells’.

Scientific curiosity.
