Original characters help please.

It's possible, but that's the default anyway. Everyone has to recover via a roll against the doom pool.

This is why I shouldn't post from my phone during break. I was going more for the fact that she doesn't automatically heal emotional stress during a transition scene. She has to actually work at it. Kinda like the adamantium poisoning limit, only with emotional stress.

I would flip that around, something like Thing's Moody Limit where he earns a plot point for stepping up emotional stress inflicted under certain conditions. Just make it so she can earn a plot point for stepping up emotional stress related to feeling homesick, missing that overwhelming sense of magic all around her, etc.

That works too.

I was also thinking of a distinction of Girl out of time, so she can use it as a D4 and get a plot point, both in combat scenes and transition scenes. Then, make a milestone about it, so she can earn enough XP to replace it.

Is it okay to have a power set that has more SFX's than powers?

The Fire mage in my group has Fire Control and Fire Blast, and a lot of the SFX seem to fit what she was going for. Area attack, burst, dangerous, focus, immunity, multi-power, unleashed and versatile.

She was trained very intently on how to use her powers because fire is so dangerous, and she was just a child when she gained her fire nature powers. So while the range of her powers are very narrow, just fire, the scope of using those powers are very wide.

Cyclops has one power and many SFX.

Generally the fewer Powers you have, the more SFX the characters have. Cyclops, as Cam pointed out, is One power with many SFX so he has alot of options despite only having one power.

The Golem could be run as two different power sets on one character. Atleast, that is how I would likely run it.

Power Set 1: Control Golem (dx)

Power Set 2: Golem's physical abilities/SFX

That way the creator is directly controlling the Golem, and thus adding his ability (Distinctions, Control Golem die, Specialties) to what the Golem can physically do. The only trick would be that you would then need two Stress tracks, one for yourself and one for the Golem.

This is exactly how Kitty Pryde is handled in the Core book with her pet dragon.

I think you have too many SFX.

Pick one of Versatile or Multipower. If either. With having two power sets you don't really need them.

Pick one of Unleashed or Focus (I'd recommend Unleashed...that seems more suited). You might want to consider an additional Limit (like Human Torch's).

The limit for Demon Hunting Training should be d6 Stress and probably should grant the player a PP as well.

Hmmm. Good points. I'll go edit her.

We tested her out, and she played really well. Teamed with the Thing and Deadpool and she stood right up with them.

Now, one of my other players built a teleporting kung fu master. In Mutants and Masterminds, he was built to be a goon sweeper.

The teleport effect he wants is like the flash step from Bleach.

Area attack makes sense. However, I would like to give him an option with more oompf when he is fighting mobs. Any ideas for a SFX to really showcase that he can take out large groups of minions really easy?

That would be Area Effect exactly. It is meant to be more of minion stopper than as a main source of damage due to adding D6s.

Right. I got that. However, what I am hoping to do is to make this player feel like he is better at taking out groups than the other players. One of the other players already has the area attack SFX. So, just looking for a just a little bit extra to help him feel better able to take out mobs.
