==Brian== the original. Well…if he’s altering gravitational fields, nearby stuff could suddenly gain/lose inertia, sort of like Marvel’s Vindicator/Guardian character used to do. Suddenly stuff accelerates to Mach 5. Nasty for bystanders. Maybe his force-field is too good, and blocks his senses. Maybe his mimic skills alter his motivations and personality to match the person he’s mimicking. Well, the gravity guy could easily destabilize the earth on it's axis, sending it off it's regular rotation and spinning faster or slower, perhaps causing the planet's shape to change due to the speed of the rotation. Could really screw with the weather that. He could affect the moon, pulling or pushing it and messing up the tides, causing floods. If you want a more personal disaester, have him start creating singularities by accident; stuff starts getting sucked into a microscopic black hole, uh oh... imagine, that for 5 seconds, gravity didn't work... strength would be useless. many mechanical things would stop. sewers and gutters would flood the air instead of streets. Firing a gun would send you backwards as well as firing the bullet. it would be inheritly useless to try to resist being pushed. all moving vehicles would fly as soon as they hit the smallest bump. most elevators would fail, many people would get dizzy, and many other natural functions of the body would fail. the waves would simply fall out of the ocean and alot of heavy objects would float ever so little into the sky (like boulders, tanks, missles... atomic bombs?) building would float too, many of which rely on gravity for stucture. dangerous substences would float out of any open containers, like arsanic, ether, oil, lava etc... then, it would all come down, sunamis, falling rock, bombs going off cars and trucks falling all over, the poor people who fall under the way of lye and powerful acids, lava and sewage waste. take a moment and count to yourself 5 seconds... go ahead, seriously. the world would end because of that short period of time A force field that triggers when danger is near, so a force field that triggers on a subconcious level? Have fun with this! It can trigger at times he is not really in danger, cause things to slam into it, etc. might be embarasing. Gravity control? He can't fly but what if it activates and he starts floating, when outside, holding a baby for a photo op?
