The circumstance of gaining powers, skills and enhancements via contraction or development of sickness, symbiotes or parasitic affliction. Variation of Experientially Induced Powers. The less dangerous variant to Mutation Inducement.

Also Called[]

  • Chemistry Induced Powers/Micromutation
  • Infected-Body Induced Powers
  • Micromutation
  • Micromutation Inducement
  • Outbreak Induced Powers
  • Virulent Induced Powers/Micromutation

Capabilities[]

Circumstance grants the user supernatural abilities by being in contact with pollutants and/or impurities within the genetic code of affected individuals. The effects of such communicability or the disease may grant infection-related powers or any powers to the victim if they survive. Most of the powers will be based on what characteristics infections or pathogens has.

Unlike Mutation Inducement, this ability doesn't even cause individuals to turn into monsters called Mutants, but instead, this turns them into empowered racial subjects (of the rational category) that possess powers that their kin doesn't normally obtain, especially whenever it comes to birth. For example, this power can turn Humans into Metahumans.

Applications[]
