“As you can see here, this graph shows the relationship between cost and the rising ‘P’, ‘O’ and ‘R’ values.”
It was a cube broken into a multitude of smaller cubes, with P as the X axis, O as the Y and R as the Z. They ranged from white to sky blue to darker blue, purple, red, and finally crimson. The key at the bottom of the graph suggested that anything beyond dark blue would cost several million dollars.
I guess you gotta settle for something in the lower reaches of each category. Or the very low reaches of two and the higher reaches of the third.
By the time it hit crimson, it was ranging into the hundreds of millions.
Damn, that’s a lot of money.
“This… is what you can afford.” The Doctor hit a key and the graph was reduced to the white and light blue cubes. “You could theoretically push into the seven range of ‘P’ values, to put yourself at this Madcap’s level in terms of raw power, but you would be forfeiting a great deal in the other two departments. Your powers would be relatively simple, defaulting to the sort of abilities that countless other heroes already have… and with the low ‘R’ score, you would be risking getting something you do not want.
Honestly, high O seems more interesting. Maybe she’d get something really unusual to use cleverly against Madcap.
Physical changes, perhaps, or powers outside of the area you wanted. Super strength when you desired telekinesis, for a crude example.”
I suppose those both fall under the theme of lifting things. Telekinesis is just remote super strength, and that’s when it’s strong.
