Capabilities

User can gain/switch powers at random either switching one power with another or accumulating multiple powers over time. For example, they can gain a random set of powers from gambling, emotions, their personality, or their birthday.

Applications

• Users can also alter physical properties, including size and strength.
• Users can have any power randomly when they are ready to use it on an opponent.
• Users can only hope to get the power they desire at that particular moment, hence it is random.
• Users can randomly deflect any powers directed at them.
• Users can randomly have both physical or mental powers.

Variations

• Power Transmutation
• Some users can possess multiple random powers at one time.
• Unnatural Cooking

Associations

Limitations

• This ability is NOT the same as Complete Arsenal, where one has every superpower at once.
  • User may only be able to use one power at a time.
  • User may be unable to switch their own power.
• Powers may be useless or self-catastrophic at a specific moment or against a certain threat.
• Coincidence Nullification is the perfect counter.
• User's powers may be based on a sort of probability - better results mean better powers and stronger effects.
• The randomness makes it difficult to make strategies both before and during a battle.
• Randomness Manipulation can counter this ability.
