Re-Power	comment	While adding or removing characters' superpowers can be controversial (especially if it's just New Powers as the Plot Demands), the actual mechanics don't need a lot of explanation for the fans to accept it. The logic wonk occurs when, rather than go "up" or "down" with how his power works, the direction goes "cantaloupe", and the character gains an entirely new set of superpowers. This practice isn't used as much nowadays, because, while changing powers along with a reimagining of a character's personality is artistically nice, it doesn't make sense for a character with an internally-logical origin. Since many characters are largely defined by their powers, it smacks of an inability to be really creative, especially if the reimagining is to make a character Darker and Edgier. If this falls flat (as it often does), the results linger in the Audience-Alienating Era. This concept is often lampshaded in the free-rein areas of Elseworlds and What Ifs, where the re-power is actually just a creative writer elaborating on a vague and mundane power to its extreme logical end, showing how characters could become very powerful. Compare with Got the Call on Speed Dial, Discard and Draw, and Skill Point Reset.

Re-Power / int_1367cea0	comment	Worm has second triggers, instances where parahumans undergo enough stress (often similar to the Traumatic Superpower Awakening that gave them their powers) to strengthen existing powers or give them entirely new ones. For example, Grue's ability suddenly allowed him to copy the powers of any parahuman it was touching.

Re-Power / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition: The Paladin class is required to maintain a Lawful Good alignment. Failing to do so, or voluntarily committing an evil act, causes the paladin to lose all of their class abilities. However, there are two prestige classes that are made specifically for ex-paladins. First there's the Blackguard or Antipaladin, which is what happens when a paladin makes a Faceâ€“Heel Turn and becomes evil. Second is the Holy Liberator, which is Chaotic Good instead of Lawful Good. While non-paladin characters can qualify for both prestige classes, ex-paladins gain extra bonuses based on their levels, up to the point of being able to swap out paladin levels for extra levels in the prestige class.

It usually gave you your original power, but in a warped (and usually temporary) manner. Former Super-Speed user Quicksilver could vibrate his molecules faster than the speed of light, becoming able to travel through time. He also had a few Me's a Crowd moments by going through the same fight multiple times. His old powers eventually returned (Apparently, when Epiphany Therapy makes you go from your new Anti-Villain self to your old Knight in Sour Armor self, you also snap back to the powers had in the old days.)

Re-Power / int_8125b468	comment	A popular fan idea was "What if Batman became a Green Lantern?", because for some reason giving the Goddamn Batman, who already has Plot Armor like crazy, a weapon based on intelligence, creativity, and willpower is such a good idea. This idea has been featured in multiple Batman-related media: It was done in Elseworld titled Batman: In Darkest Knight as an alternative to his choosing to become a tech- and detective-focused hero, and Geoff Johns answered the question in the canon DCU with "he couldn't handle it" (but did hint he'd be an excellent member of the Sinestro Corps) because a Green Lantern has to deal with his worst fears daily, and Batman has never managed to get past his—that's why he's Batman.

Bruce had gone through all the training and made all the preparations he had made before first becoming Batman, but the bat that crashed through his window in the "Batman: Year One" miniseries was scared off by Abin Sur's ship crash landing just outside Wayne Manor. This was lampshaded in an episode of The Batman where he and Green Lantern teamed up to fight Sinestro. Batman: The Brave and the Bold did this too. Although the more lighthearted version of Batman only got green armor that was fueled by Batsy's Willpower, it was still a hell of a combo. Parallax called Batman "A Disciple of Fear" during the Green Lantern: Rebirth series. Later, the Sinestro Corps (or at least a yellow power ring) tried to recruit Batman. And failed. Also featured in All-Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder, where Batman wants to steal the ring. "Think of what I could do with that power." At one point Hal Jordan gave Batman his ring temporary after they got buddy-buddy fighting the second Tattooed Man, and Batman outright admitted that he couldn't ignore his fears because they were what drove him.

Re-Power / int_8feafd95	comment	New Warriors: All of the former mutants who lost their powers on M-Day and joined the latest iteration of the New Warriors got new technology to give them powers, usually unrelated to their original. Some of their powers were connected to their original ones, though- for example, Beak was a non-superhero X-student with all the drawbacks to birdlike physiology (hollow bones + supervillain No-Holds-Barred Beatdown = ouch) with none of the benefits (he still can't fly). He gets depowered, but as a New Warrior has a flight pack that makes him the poor man's Falcon. Jubilee, who originally had the power to produce explosive balls of light, gained super strength through advanced technology. After her stint as a New Warrior, Jubilee became a vampire and has now gained superstrength and other vampire powers. Chamber got a double dose of this trope. Prior to joining the New Warriors, he received a blood transfusion from his ancestor Apocalypse. The blood of Apocalypse fixed the damage to his body that his original powers caused. It also had the side effect of making him look like Apocalypse too. And possibly giving him latent Omega-level mutant power. Once he joined the New Warriors, he ended up gaining sonic manipulation.

Many Marvel Mutant characters have gotten what was called in-universe a "Secondary Mutation", and pretty much all of them qualify. Though this actually started out as making deliberate use of Required Secondary Powers (this is what makes many former What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? cases considerably more badass than they used to be) but eventually bled over into being purely this trope, as powers having nothing to do with the character's original power would just... show up. However, Emma Frost's diamond skin thing proved not to be one; Professor X's Evil Twin Cassandra Nova had altered her as part of a scheme. Due to some complicated circumstances, Polaris once had the power of siphoning super-strength from emotions. She also had disease powers when she was a Horseman of Apocalypse, Pestilence.

Re-Power / int_cb4f471d	comment	Wild Cards: John Fortune loses his healing powers after his body is purged of the wild card virus. In the latest book, John enters into a symbiotic relationship with Sekhmet of the Living Gods, and gains the ability to... change into a fire-breathing lioness. Yup, that's quite a change.

Re-Power / int_cf3e7a82	comment	Alan Moore gave us Sodam Yat, a Daxamite Green Lantern, back in 1986, who possessed all of Superman's powers, and all of Green Lantern's as well. Granted he only appeared in a single panel, but he was a major figure in Moore's proposed Twilight Of The Superheroes mini-series.

Re-Power / int_e8b7ec98	comment	In PS238, Flying Brick Ron is apparently Brought Down to Normal, but later gets some sort of probability manipulation. Unusual for this trope, he's explicitly stated to have always had both sets of powers, he just never used the latter ones before because he didn't realize he could. It was only after he lost the powers he inherited from his dad that he started trying to utilize the powers he'd gotten from his mom.

Re-Power / int_e9159101	comment	Venom: Eddie Brock became Anti-Venom after contact with the supervillain Mister Negative caused the remnants of the Venom symbiote still in Brock's system to combine with his white blood cells. As Anti-Venom he retains some of his old Venom abilities but also gained the power to remove foreign elements and contaminants in people. Including the radiation in Spider-Man's body that empowers him. Fortunately Brock still sincerely wants to be a hero and so tries his best to avoid doing this to Spidey. Eventually, by way of some complicated circumstances, Eddie loses the Anti-Venom powers and becomes Venom again when the symbiote returns to him.

Re-Power / int_e951212	comment	Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues: Destiny's power was originally the ability to control dolls. Then another character left the thread, and she inherited his ability to turn into monsters. Since her original power was never revealed in-thread, this doesn't cause much of a problem. Devin is a minor example. His original ability to manipulate acid was considered too narrow within the context of the story to be interesting to play. Thus, he was upgraded so that his blood itself was acidic, giving him an easily accessible weapon. After a different NPC was cut from the story, their power was melded with Kev's, boosting him from 'summoning magical guns' to 'summoning magical weapons'. Marko's power was supposed to be that he could teleport small objects. This was later changed to the more diverse ability to create teleporting portals.

Re-Power / int_f0529579	comment	For a time, Spider-Man was upgraded in The Other storyline with Wolverine-like stingers on his wrists. Yes, stingers. Lampshaded, as Peter notes Spiders don't have stingers! Another character tries to Hand Wave this by saying one day spiders might evolve stingers. Ironically, this probably would have been less stupid if they'd just gone with the obvious explanation; that they're not stingers, they're fangs, part of the same tinkering with his ratio of spider DNA to human DNA that caused him to develop organic web-shooting glands.

Re-Power / int_f2041376	comment	Charmed: Phoebe was initially shown, in a vision, to have future powers of levitation and throwing electricity (sometimes called "electrokinesis"). She developed the levitation power but gained the power of Empathy instead of the electricity power. In the later seasons this is most likely due to budget concerns but Leo just stated "the future changes" as an explanation for any changes made throughout the show.

Re-Power / int_fa5e90fd	comment	This is quite limited in the "character respecification" feature in City of Heroes. While you can reselect your character's powers and change which auxiliary pools you chose from, you cannot change your primary and secondary pools or your archetype. That means no changing from swinging a sword to growing spines out of your body, or changing from a Tank into a Blaster and such.
