"Yes. Their main side effect is greatness. But if you'd rather be weak and helpless..."

"I feel good...with no repercussions!"

― Ruth Powers and Marge Simpson (The Simpsons)

Capabilities

The users of this power can become stronger with the mental, emotional, supernatural and physical 'high' the user receives while on a certain substance. The high can dangerously increase the user's physical condition to become incredibly strong, quick, agile and even increase the user's cellular regeneration speeds.

User who is emotionally 'high' can experience a sense of relaxation, may have a different personality or the user may become very excited or hyperactive. A user whose mental state is affected by the 'high' may gain increased intellect and senses or may enable them to see things they weren't able to see in a 'normal' state. A user whose superpowers are affected by the 'high' will have their powers drastically augmented.
