What the hell kind of power would an entire army have. Hmmm, how about not so much as a power, but be able to call in Combine support. Like call in a headcrab mortar or a gunship, or send a strider my way. If you dont like how that sounds then I want my power to be controlling matter.

And my one true weakness is a rogue physicist.

My name would be AMP.

And like the equipment, I would amplify energies. Essentially, all forms of energy, besides kinetic, are absorbed by me. My body then amplifies those energies and I can expell them in a general direction. Ambient energy is continuous absolrbed by me, but is released in small, unnoticeable doses throughout the day.

Weakness - Other than those powers, I am a mortal being of flesh and bone. A single bullet can kill me or I can simply be beaten to death. Also, there is a limit to how much I can absorb before it is released in a severe explosion.

All the good ideas are taken.

My powers would be the ability to become invisible. I would be able to walk through objects, so my when I became invisible not only would people be unable to see me, but they would be unable to do things like stab me or shoot me. Also, I would be able to teleport or warp from where I am to any point that I could see.

My weakness, of course, would be that when I am not invisible I am vulnerable to anything that a normal person would be vulnerable too. Also, my ability to become invisible would only last for a short period of time as I would need to charge up to use it. However, my ability to teleport would be indefinite.

Oh, its killergremlin... er how you doing... *Tries not to make eye contact*

So let me get this straight. You want the power to both teleport and phase through walls? Why couldn't you just teleport through the walls?

Maybe it has something to do with not being able to teleport to places that you can't visualize or places you've never been before.

I will shamefully steal the powers of Clayface. I can morph to look like other people and also morph into anything without moving parts like a hammer hand.

Exactly. I don't think teleporting could logically work unless you can visualize where you are teleporting, so the teleporting stuff only works for things in my vision. Hence the walk through walls
