Editing Über (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Über's power grants him a high level of skill at any specific technique<ref name=":0" /> he wants as long as he focuses and concentrates on it.<ref name="4.6e1">I didn’t get a chance to dwell on it, because Über charged us. I hurried to get out of his way. Über’s power made him talented. It didn’t matter if it was playing the harmonica, parkour stunts or Muay Thai, he could pull it off like he’d been working on it for hours a day for most of his life. If he really focused on it, the way I understood it, he could be top notch. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/10/11/shell-4-6/ Excerpt] from [[Shell 4.6]]</ref><ref>'''Über''' – A thinker who pairs up with Leet, can master any skill as long as he concentrates.  His costume varies from appearance to appearance, in keeping with the pair’s video game theme. - Cast (spoiler-free)</ref><!-- https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/ --> Wildbow commented that people out-of-universe tend to overestimate his power.<ref name=":0">Über and Leet are really problematic in that they're two characters that people tend to overinflate, powerwise.<br><br>I'm exaggerating, but man, am I tired of reading, "Why doesn't Leet just make a machine that turns him into a god!?"<br><br>Über is in the same boat. It would perhaps be better to say that he's able to learn ''technique''s. - [http://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/2469748 Wildbow on SufficientVelocity]</ref> For instance, he can perform a martial arts recovery but does not have the broader skill, balance and poise a real martial artist would have.<ref>Grue had the opposite perspective. He stepped forward and then disappeared as darkness swelled around him. A second later, Über stumbled out of one side of the cloud, landed on his rear end, and then did a fancy spinning kick maneuver to bring himself to his feet again. The juxtaposition of clumsiness and technique was outright bizarre. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/10/11/shell-4-6/ Excerpt] from [[Shell 4.6]]</ref><!--he can master any technique but this doesn't translate into longterm knowledge, unless he is expecting something his stride can be broken before he 'runs' another technique to get back on his feet or similar--> Uber did not intimidate [[Tattletale]] as she believes even with his power that he still manages to mess up half the time.<ref>Leet took a step forward, fists clenched, but Über called out, “She’s provoking you.”<br><br>“Damn right I am.  And I can do it because I’m not scared of you.  I don’t have any powers that are useful in a fight, and you guys don’t intimidate me in the least.  A guy who’s good at everything yet still manages to fuck up half the time, and a Tinker who can only make stuff that breaks comically.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/10/11/shell-4-6/ Excerpt] from [[Shell 4.6]]</ref>

Über is largely limited to techniques; in comparison, [[Victor]] can learn skills, accumulate knowledge, and carry them with him for a time period. As an example, Über might be able to pull out three different martial arts moves for as long as he focuses and concentrates on them, but he lacks the fundamentals that [[Victor]], in comparison, could collect. However, Wildbow notes that both fall prey to the same trap: however capable they are as a normal, they are limited in being a better than average 'normal'.<ref>Über is largely limited to techniques.

He can likely escape handcuffs or ropes if restrained.<ref>“Leave one of them in a state to be interrogated. Make it Leet, since Über’s powers make him annoying to keep contained. Give him a chance and he can figure out how to do anything like he’s a goddamn expert at it, and that probably extends to escaping from ropes or handcuffs. Alright?” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/10/08 Excerpt] from [[Shell 4.5]]</ref> He can also alter his voice dramatically like an announcer or professional voice actor.<ref name="4.5e1">“Rest assured, Tattletale, you do,” Über proclaimed. He was the sort of person who proclaimed, announced, broadcasted and declared. Just like Grue’s power altered his voice to make him sound haunting and inhuman, Über’s power made him sound like the guy who narrated trailers for action movies or late night commercials. Overdramatic, intense about everything he said, no matter how mundane. Like someone overacting the role of a gallant knight in a kid’s movie. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/10/08 Excerpt] from [[Shell 4.5]]</ref>
