Character Superpowers

Okay, I’ve always been in love with superpowers. It’s one of my favorite styles and it’s incredibly exciting to play off character personality to create these abilities.

In the Soul world, there are a long list of characters who have superpowers and I figured I’d toss in a list of the biggest (and my favorite) powers.

Nate “Black Hole”

Umbrakinesis (shadow manipulation) - essentially, Nate can not only become a shadow, he can create and control them. It’s incredibly useful, and as the books continue, his skills grow. I won’t spoil anything about his ability, but I’ll tease this… Nate’s a very pure character, but shadows aren’t always associated with that…

Clara / Finnley “Supernova”

Telekinesis / Telepathy - Based loosely off Scarlet Witch, C/F’s powers are very much volatile. Known as the ‘Supernova’, she prefers the explosive nature of her abilities. Her confidence is a huge piece of her power as well, and as her story continues, that becomes more apparent in the things she can do.

Glitch (Oliver)

Teleportation - Glitch got his name because his power essentially looks like a video game glitch to anyone observing. That was an absolute blast to create, especially when he doesn’t have control of his power (Nate described it as having his insides twisted). As he learns his power, his strength grows to the point he can even make teleportation clones.

Luci

Light manipulation - What power do you give to the bright and bubbly match for Glitch? Light! Even more interesting is her direct opposite to Nate’s abilities, which makes for an interesting dynamic when they are fighting in close proximity.
