==Known Grab-Bags== {| class="mw-collapsible- wikitable" border="1" ! scope="col" | Members || The Game |- | *[[Circus]]<ref name="6.7">Circus was one of those capes that had a whole pile of very minor powers. The ones I knew about were some minor pyrokinesis, the ability to deposit items into thin air, to retrieve those items just as easily, and greatly enhanced coordination and balance to round off the package. She was one of the more successful solo villains around Brockton Bay, a burglar and thief both quick and versatile enough to win or slip away if she crossed paths with a hero. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/tangle-6-7/ Excerpt] from [[Tangle 6.7]]</ref><ref name="25.3" /> *[[Grace]]<ref name="25.3" /> *[[Hoyden]]<ref name="R2" /> *[[Mouse Protector]]<ref name="26.3">[[Murder Rat|She]] was a composite of two ‘kitchen sink’ capes. Mouse Protector and Ravager. Two primary powers that had blended into the one, a dozen other minor powers. Flexibility, a bizarre kind of enhanced strength, reflexes and agility that had peaks and valleys, and skin as tough as leather. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/sting-26-3/ Excerpt] from [[Sting 26.3]]</ref> *[[Ravager]]<ref name="26.3" /> *[[Watch]]<ref name="25.3">Watch was a package deal like Grace or Circus. A lot of powers, flexible. His specific powers weren’t on record, but it was fairly well known that he was capable of short bursts of intense, short-ranged clairvoyance. He could see people’s biology, ignore the issues of light, darkness or intervening objects, and he had a limited super speed coupled with what had been dubbed ‘phantom hands’. The ability to reach through people like Shadow Stalker might, targeting particular aspects of people’s body to shred arteries or tear through nerves with his fingers and fingernails. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/tangle-6-7/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.3]]</ref> *The Sunder Brothers<ref name=":1" /> *[[Jotun]] and [[Ixnay]]<ref>[[Heavens 12.all]]</ref> | Unknown |- | *[[Subway Cluster]]; [[Flechette]]<ref name="R2">If I did anything, I'd retcon it as a multi-trigger somehow. A Flechette-like/Hoyden-like scenario. - [https://redd.it/3k4ddl Comment by Wildbow on Reddit]</ref>, [[March]]<ref name="SB2">S/he did get Sting lite. Remember, Sting is a 'shark' of a shard. Can't really do much to improve or vary it. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/15081572 Spacebattles post] by Wildbow.</ref>, and [[Homer]]<ref>“Because, Swansong, she was a member of a cluster of three. Timing, accuracy, and Foil’s trademark weapon enhancement. March found and drained their cluster’s third.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/11/06/polarize-10-5/ Excerpt] from [[Polarize 10.5]]</ref> | Reverse-parahuman<!--developed powers, the prize is desired personality, and not aggregate of powers as usual--> |- | *[[The Stable]]; Oxfair, Ramfair, Foulcock and Foulpig<ref name=":1" /><ref>The most dramatic case in recent memory is the Stáj, also known as the Stable, or the Foul and the Fair. - [[Glow-worm P.4]]</ref> | Two-team competition |- | *[[Mall Cluster]]; [[Snag]], [[Precipice]], [[Cradle]], and [[Love Lost]]<ref name=":1" /><ref>[[Glow-worm P.4]]</ref> | Iterative peer-diplomacy dilemma<!--any approximations from game theory? seems to be asymmetric iterative elimination, e.g. pretty much RL backstabbing. Does "War of attrition" fit?--> |- | *[[The Graeae]]; Dino, Enyo, Pephredo<ref>[[Pitch 6.6]]</ref> | Individual vs Pair |- | *[[Smugglers Cluster]]; [[Goddess]], [[Tori Heflin]], [[Megan]], Jace, Ysmine, and Bill<ref name="6.8">“Yep. She proceeded to take over earth Shin, with all other parahumans acting as her lieutenants. All other parahumans on that world, mind. No exceptions. Which the organization deemed fine, because they got to keep her in their back pocket, even while they couldn’t control her. She is, or was, a grab-bag, she found a way to pull free of her cluster, and she came out of it with a set of powers that would each be world-class on their own.”<br><br>“What happened to the others?” Rain asked.<br><br>“Dead?” I guessed.<br><br>“Alive. Four of them, anyhow. A fifth killed themselves because they couldn’t fill the void where the power and feeling powerful once were. None of them were left with more than whispers of power after. But they had their lives and their particular dynamic was stopped in its tracks. Not all clusters have a schtick, but they did, like the mall group does, and Goddess taking all the power brought an end to it.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/05/08 Excerpt] from [[Pitch 6.8]]</ref> | Iterative winner-takes-most roulette |}
