The power to be a mockery of someone or something.
Also Called
- Mockery Mimcry
Capabilities
The user of this power is or can transform others into mockeries - grotesque, exaggerated, monstrous versions of themselves.
While most mockeries embody negative qualities even good qualities can be dangerous when taken to their logical conclusion, for example a moral person can be turned into a fanatical zealot who murders people for not being good enough. Depending on the circumstances a mockery can be either a person who committed a crime or the victims of the crime and evil who have returned to punish them.
