Power Classifications

Since parahumans began to appear in the 1980s and following the arrival of threats like the Endbringers, the Siberian and other villains, the need for a system of power classifications to be used by law enforcement, government and the media became clear. While initially used only for classifying Villains, this classification soon became used to gauge the parahuman capabilities of all capes - whether hero, Villain or Rogue.

When a new parahuman reveals their presence they are identified with one or more of twelve categories and a number in each one (usually between 1 and 10) to express the level of threat they offer to a PRT team. The scale does go beyond ten but that appears to be reserved for particularly dangerous or powerful threats. It should be clearly stated that ratings are subjective abstractions largely based on danger to the citizenry <ref name = "CM1">Private message by Wildbow, archived on SpaceBattles</ref>. Baring some objective measure from an ability, a individual para-humans rating may be, too low, too high or fail to account for other aspects of the para-human's abilities all together.

The categories are: Mover, Shaker, Brute, Breaker, Master, Tinker, Blaster, Thinker, Striker, Changer, Trump and Stranger.

Weld theorizes that the powers may have been named the way they were to facilitate memorization using the following rhyme: <poem> Mover, Shaker,

  Brute, Breaker, 

Master, Tinker,

  Blaster, Thinker, 

Striker, Changer,

  Trump and Stranger.</poem>

Powers which are inextricably linked, such as Dauntless' ability to empower objects (Trump) by touching them (Striker), are indicated with a slash ("Striker/Trump")<ref name = "PM1">Private message by Wildbow, archived on SpaceBattles</ref>.

Mover

A mover has the ability to transport themselves and/or others to other locations, by means of enhanced speed, teleportation, flight, vehicles or the like. PRT typically appends the mover classification with the specific type of capability, eg Mover: Teleporter.<ref name="PRT">PRT Quest document</ref>

Name	Known ratings	Power description
Annex	Breaker, Shaker<ref name=":2">“I’m a breaker and shaker,” Annex told me, “Merge into nonliving material, warp space.” “Warp it how?” I asked. “Reshape it,” he said.  He was still half-walking, half-jogging, but he stretched a white-gloved hand out four feet, touching a sign.  His hand smeared against it as though it were more liquid than solid, coloring it the same white as his glove.  The sign oozed back into the wall, virtually disappearing, and Annex removed his hand, slowly reeling in the extended flesh.  The sign remained where it was, compressed against the wall, the surface flat. - Crushed 24.1</ref>	Can merge into nonliving material and reshape it.<ref name=":2" />
Arbiter	Thinker, Blaster, Shaker<ref>Rime explained.  “She’s a social thinker, in addition to her minor blaster and shaker powers.  Her danger sense is mild at best, not something she can react to immediately, but it makes her aware of associated individuals and the threat they pose.  She wouldn’t be able to see much from Pretender alone, but she knows that there’s a moderate to high danger posed by those closest to him-” - Drone 23.2</ref>	Can create forcefields.<ref>Six more capes made their way down the line. Arbiter used her forcefield to block some more agitated capes from making their way down before it was time. She spoke in one of the local languages to the group. - Crushed 24.3</ref>
Auroch	Brute 2, Shaker 3, Striker 2, Mover 2<ref>◈ AUROCH; Charley nCothra Classification: Brute 2, Shaker 3, Striker 2, Mover 2. Inertial alteration effect in an area, somewhat selective, inverse effect for self. Disrupts energy. - PRT Quest (Anchorage)</ref>	Generates an effect around her that controls inertia.<ref>Powers: Auroch generates an effect around her that either dampens inertia, protecting and slowing things in the area, or accelerating them to prompt faster, less controlled movement. Can affect herself independently of the general effect, with some benefits of a dampening effect alongside the benefits of acceleration, justifying her Brute, Striker and Mover classifications. Machinery tends to fail or work intermittently within the field. - PRT Quest (Anchorage) </ref>
Bambina	Mover/Shaker 6<ref name="23.2">“Focus,” Prefab said.  “We know who these three are.  We’ve got a Mover-shaker six, a blaster-shaker four, and a master-stranger three.” - Drone 23.2</ref>	Can bounce off of walls and other objects, creating explosions with her impacts.<ref>The shooter wasn’t in my reach.  Bambina was horrifically mobile, bouncing off of walls and the street, creating explosions with most of the impacts.  Her teammates were along for the ride, apparently unscathed by her power.  Going on the offensive would be hard, even if I was using my full complement of bugs. - Drone 23.2</ref>
Barrow	Shaker<ref name="21.7">I put the folder away carefully, picked out another.  Lost Garden. High threat level, low crime rate, low engagement level and moderate activity level.  Leader, Barrow.  A powerful shaker, similar to Labyrinth, only rather more single-minded in what he did.  He couldn’t leave the altered area he created around him, only extending it slowly to an area while letting it fade behind him, an effect described as ‘a depression’ with overgrowth extending into the surrounding neighborhood.  Tattletale’s own notes in the file suggested he was making slow but steady progress towards Brockton Bay, and that he had been since the portal appeared. - Imago 21.7</ref>	Creates an effect described as ‘a depression’ with overgrowth around him. Cannot leave effected area.<ref name="21.7" />
Burnscar	Shaker<ref name=":8">Shaker. All capes ‘break’ physics to some extent. Breakers break the rules as the rules pertain to them (and maybe their immediate surroundings/possessions). Grue, Labyrinth, Shatterbird, Lady Photon/Laserdream/Shaker, Fog, Stormtiger, Cricket, Rune, Burnscar, Narwhal and Skidmark are shakers.

Can mold constructions into simple objects and contraptions. - PRT Quest (Anchorage) </ref>	Produces a cone-shaped spray of liquid forcefield, covering roughly eight hundred square feet in seconds. Initially fragile.<ref>Powers: Clay produces a cone-shaped spray of liquid forcefield, covering roughly eight hundred square feet in seconds.  Initially fragile, breaking if the target is already moving at a walking pace at the point of contact, the forcefield sets to a consistency akin to sheet metal, capable of being bent or broken with exerted force at the edges.  Further spray can layer the field for additional strength. - PRT Quest (Anchorage)</ref>
Cricket	Shaker<ref name=":8" />	Can generate and hear subsonic noises. Can use these noises to disorient and induce vertigo in her foes.<ref>Cricket – Like Stormtiger, she was a onetime combatant in the underground fighting tournaments.  Cricket is a young woman with vastly accelerated reflexes and the ability to generate and hear subsonic noises.  She can use these noises to disorient and induce vertigo in her foes or use staccato blasts as a form of radar.  She favors kama as a weapon – short scythes that can each be held in one hand.  Covered in small scars, she wears a metal cage over her face and keeps her hair short. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
Damsel of Distress	Mover, Shaker<ref name=":6">“Three.  Nothing notable.  Edict and Licit, a low-rated master and a low-rated striker.  We also have one villainess who occasionally tries to make it in one of the big cities and then retreats back home when she can’t cut it.  Calls herself Damsel of Distress.” He reconnected his spear as they passed through the door.  “I know her.  Mover and shaker.  Storms of unevenly altered gravity, time and space.  Edict and Licit keep her in check?” - Interlude 16 (Donation Bonus #2) </ref>	Creates poorly controlled storms of unevenly altered gravity, time and space.<ref name=":6" />

Fog	Breaker 9<ref name=":4">“Yeah, there’s a Breaker 9, a Shifter 8 with Stranger 3 and a Master 6 in that group? I buy that they’re powerful.” - Sentinel 9.1</ref> (Shaker, Stranger)<ref>Fog is (like many breakers) a sub-class shaker, in that his breaker power has a shaker (and stranger) side effect (the broad cloud of semisolid fog he generates). Much like Shadow Stalker. You can see 9.1 for brief mention of these breaker sub-classes, I think. - Queen 18.5, wildbow comment.</ref>	Transforms into mist with the ability to erode living matter.<ref>Fog, Geoff Schmidt – Has the ability to partially or wholly become a living mist, with solidity varying depending on his wishes and the ability to erode living matter. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>

The gas has a smell comparable to rotten eggs or skunk, and produces an immediate, albeit mild burning sensation, particularly around the mucus glands. - PRT: Department Sixty Four, thread II [Worm Quest - Page 47]</ref>
Glory Girl	Brute, Breaker, Mover<ref>Worm Wiki edit by wildbow.</ref>, Shaker<ref>Question by WyldCard4: Aura: What exactly is her aura classified as? Personally I have classified it as a low level Stranger power, as I believe you once told me it is not a Master power. Stranger seems to fit best, as it alters the perceptions of her enemies. Answer by wildbow: Shaker, not stranger. - Spacebattles post by wildbow. </ref>	Radiates an energy that makes her allies more inclined to like, respect and look up to her, while making her terrifying to her enemies.<ref>Glory Girl, Victoria Dallon (Incarcerated; Asylum) – Possessed of flight, invincibility, and capable of deadlifting over a ton. She radiates an energy that makes her allies more inclined to like, respect and look up to her, while making her terrifying and intimidating to her enemies.

Grue	Shaker<ref name=":8" />, Trump<ref>I can say that it matches up with the trend that people who trigger in circumstances where powered individuals are present or involved get powers that often relate to powers; trump powers (see Grue) - reddit comment by wildbow.</ref>	Generates darkness that blinds and nearly deafens those within, confuses the sense of touch, and weakens the powers of those within.<ref>Grue, Brian Laborn – Controls the West side of the city. His powers allow him to generate a darkness that consumes or dampens visual and most auditory information, as well as some specific signals. This serves to blind and nearly deafen those within, confuses the sense of touch, dampens the effects of radiation and weakens the powers of those within (to varying ends). Since his second trigger event, Grue has the ability to use a single, weaker, less informed version of a power anyone within his darkness possesses. This second trigger event proved traumatic enough that he’s stepped down from his position as group leader. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
Labyrinth	Shaker 12<ref name="9.1">“Faultline’s Crew.  Mercenaries, low rating, mediocre rating, low rating…  A Shaker 12?  Seriously?” “The girl has cognitive deficiencies that reduce the effective threat she poses, but yes.  Again, that group is not an imminent threat.  In the current situation, I might suggest you leave them be if you cross paths, conserve your group’s strength for the priority opponents.  The Merchants and Hookwolf’s group.” - Sentinel 9.1 </ref>	Has the ability to manipulate her immediate environment almost completely.<ref>Labyrinth – Retains the ability to manipulate her immediate environment almost completely.  While this only extends a relatively short distance around her, her influence gradually radiates outward as she remains in one place for a time.  One of the more extreme examples of how powers can affect one mentally, she veers between lucidity and a dissociative fugue state. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
Lady Photon	Blaster 4, Mover 3, Shaker 3<ref name=":9">Edit by wildbow</ref>	Can raise forcefield bubbles around herself.<ref name=":10">Lady Photon’s daughter and niece were in the air with her.  Laserdream and Glory Girl.  Mother and daughter shared the same general powers; flight, the ability to raise forcefield bubbles around themselves, and the ability to project lasers from their hands.  As a consequence, their fight with Purity was something of a light show. - Buzz 7.9</ref>

Mokosh	Blaster/Shaker<ref name=":19">“The only other one we can identify by name is Mokosh. She’s a Blaster-Shaker hybrid. She ‘blasts’ something very much like razor wire, spearing it into surfaces or people. Each shot is connected to the previous shot, and once she’s landed a hit on someone, she can sever limbs, heads, or deliver deep gouges with the follow-up fire. A series of shots can riddle an area with nearly invisible wires that are sharp enough to slice into flesh. We’re reasonably confident that she’s done this to trap hostages within the buildings.

Alexandria	Brute, Mover, Thinker<ref name="14.y">Alexandria had originally named herself after the Library of Alexandria, though she’d ceased mentioning that, choosing to leave enemies in the dark instead.  As strong as she was on a physical level, her mind was equally formidable.  She never forgot a detail, absorbed information quickly, reading two pages of a book with a glance, and she learned quickly, retaining everything she picked up.  She knew most commonly spoken languages, no less than ten styles of martial arts and she could match some of the best non-tinkers in the world when it came to computers.  Not only was she rated well in the brute classification, but she held high scores in the mover and thinker categories. - 14.y (Bonus Interlude)</ref>	Has enhanced strength and a virtually invincible body.<ref>Alexandria – Second in command of the Protectorate.  Flies and has enhanced strength, a virtually invincible body, eidetic memory, and senses emotions.  The triad of flight, strength and invincibility recurs often enough, in enough variations, that it’s often referred to as ‘the Alexandria package’.

Hatchet Face	Brute<ref name=":1">Hatchet Face was a brute. His claim to fame was attacking a news station where a superhero was being interviewed and brutally cutting the hero down, stripping them of powers and then butchering them with swings of his namesake axe. The segment never made it onto the airwaves, but the audacity of the deed sparked attention. By lowering his enemies to a baseline level and then going after them with his still-enhanced strength and toughness, he gave every cape cause for worry. Triggering when he was injured by capes in a careless attack, he started out as a brutal vigilante, but quickly left that mission behind in favor of a simpler, brutal agenda of taking what he wanted and cutting down the biggest boys and girls around. - Reddit comment by wildbow.</ref>	Enhanced strength and toughness.<ref name=":1" />

Striker

A cape with the ability to apply some effect by touch or at point-blank range. Has a power that applies on physical contact. Often applies a changed state, like the breaker classification, but isn’t personal. Melee range, but not strength or durability, else it is classified as a Brute power.<ref name="PRT"/> The striker classification could include certain breaker effects if they applied to things other than the cape themselves. Other strikers included those who used energy weapons, and those with pyrokinesis or such that didn’t extend more than a foot around them.<ref name="I14.5"/>

Flechette believed that certain kinds of superstrength (those that weren't accompanied by durability) were considered Striker powers,<ref name="I14.5"/> but PRT files stated that strength should always be classed as a Brute ability.<ref name="PRT"/>

Trumps can manipulate powers in some capacity, altering, granting, strengthening, weakening or removing them entirely.<ref name="PRT"/> It also covers capes that can either acquire new powers on the fly, or have an interaction with other powers that can't be categorized.<ref name="21.1">Imago 21.1</ref>

Name	Known ratings	Power description
Bonesaw	Tinker, Trump<ref>She has a trump rating. - reddit comment by wildbow.</ref>	Can create hybrid capes<ref>Bonesaw – If Jack Slash is the leader, the child Bonesaw is the figurehead of the group.  A medical tinker, her power allows her to work with biology and the physical form, creating hybrid capes, performing plastic surgery in minutes, reviving the recently dead, transplanting limbs and creating virulent plagues and diseases.  She has outfitted much of the group with safeguards and protection, including sheaths to protect vital organs, a ‘pain switch’ to allow them to ignore pain and more.  Bonesaw is a cheerful young girl (no older than fourteen) with tight blonde curls, wearing no regular costume but a durable apron filled with surgical implements and pre-prepared vials. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
Cask	Tinker 5 (Blaster 1, Brute 2*, Master 1, Trump 2)<ref>CASK; Lawrence Batson (“L.B.”) Classification: Tinker 5 (Sub: Blaster 1, Brute 2*, Master 1, Trump 2) Medicine and performance enhancing admixtures. - PRT Quest (Anchorage)</ref>	Produces chemical batches that give power-like effects.<ref>Produces chemical batches that enhance strength, flexibility, resistance to toxins, resistance to the elements, resistance to harm, reflexes, or focus.  Produces chemical batches that quickly restore damaged tissues and prompt rapid cellular growth.  One dose is a minimum of 1.33 liters, administered orally, limiting the speed consumption, emergency application and the number of successive doses that can be given.  Potentially shortens patrol runs or prompts somewhat frequent pit stops. - PRT Quest (Anchorage)</ref>
Citrine	Trump<ref>“No dust or glass being disturbed, none of that.  I might think his ‘friend’ is invisible and intangible, but then what’s the point?  Accord tends to have people with good powers.  Citrine, only bits I could figure out were that she’s got an offensive power, something with substance, and her focus was in a strange place.  She was more focused on places in the room where the strongest powers were clustered, and her focus was fairly indiscriminate beyond that.  Either her power wasn’t anything that anyone here would have been able to defend against, like Flechette’s arrows or a controlled version of Scrub’s blasts, or she’s a trump classification.” - Imago 21.1</ref>	Can attune areas to particular functions and can use this to cut off powers.<ref>“I wouldn’t normally share, but Accord told me I should disclose any information you request.  I attune areas to particular functions.” “To what ends?” Grue asked. “More gravity, less gravity, more intense temperature variation, less intense temperature variation.  Friction, light intensity, the progression of time… More possibilities than I can count, many so minor you wouldn’t notice.  But if someone powered is in the area, and I find the right attunement, as though I were searching a radio station, I can cut off their powers.  If I’m exact enough, which never takes more than twenty or thirty seconds to narrow down, I can use my power to cancel out the filters that keep someone’s powers in their control.  I can also remove the filters that keep their power from affecting them.” - Imago 21.4 </ref>
Dauntless	Striker/Trump<ref>Dauntless is a striker/trump. The two aspects are irrevocably linked, thus the slash. In briefer terms, he'd simply be a trump - he gives himself powers, in an indirect fashion. If his shard had manifested differently, he wouldn't have the need for 'totems' - objects linked to the manifestation of his power. He'd simply grant himself the power. - Private message by wildbow, posted on Spacebattles.</ref>	Can slowly "charge" objects with different powers<ref>Dauntless (Deceased) –  Armsmaster’s unwitting rival.  Had the ability to empower items with a gradual, cumulative degree of power.  Bore a spear with devastating arcs of electricity, a shield that generated forcefields and boots that let him fly, with other abilities not outlined in the story. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
Dragon	Thinker<ref name=":10">Dragon is a thinker who co-opts and draws inspiration from other tinkers' work. - wildbow reddit comment</ref>, Tinker<ref>TL;DR is that tinkers can't pass on tips to humanity. Even Masamune, even Dragon. - wildbow reddit comment.</ref>, Trump<ref>I can say that it matches up with the trend that people who trigger in circumstances where powered individuals are present or involved get powers that often relate to powers; trump powers - reddit wildbow comment</ref>	Co-opts and draws inspiration from the work of other Tinkers.<ref name=":10" />
Galvanate	Trump<ref name=":6">The question is essentially, 'What part of the Trump's trigger event determines the nuances of the resulting power?' In short, what was the relationship to powers at the time of the trigger event? - reddit comment by wildbow. (Lists Galvanate, Grue, Othala and Usher) </ref>	Grants invincibility and an electric touch.<ref>Galvanate grants invincibility, a brute effect, and an electric touch. - reddit comment by wildbow.</ref>
Goddess	Trump<ref name=":7">An attack from two directions.  She wasn’t immune, only resistant.  I felt myself assert control.  I understood her power, even if I didn’t understand a thing about her.  A personal, point-blank trump power, allowing her to tune abilities and defenses much like Scion did.  A powerful long-ranged telekinesis, a compulsion power like Canary’s, presence-based rather than voice based, and a personal power battery that let her be stronger, for limited times. - Speck 30.4</ref>, Master<ref name=":7" /><ref>“Prisoner 601, codename Canary.  PRT powers designation Master 8.  Recommended protocols were properly carried out, with provided restraints and no human personnel being brought within three hundred yards of said individual’s position.  Hi Canary.” - Interlude 6</ref>	Able to tune abilities and defenses.<ref name=":7" />
Grue	Shaker<ref>Shaker. All capes ‘break’ physics to some extent. Breakers break the rules as the rules pertain to them (and maybe their immediate surroundings/possessions). Grue, Labyrinth, Shatterbird, Lady Photon/Laserdream/Shaker, Fog, Stormtiger, Cricket, Rune, Burnscar, Narwhal and Skidmark are shakers. You might be able to divine the common theme, there. - Queen 18.5, wildbow comment. </ref>, Trump<ref>I can say that it matches up with the trend that people who trigger in circumstances where powered individuals are present or involved get powers that often relate to powers; trump powers (see Grue) - reddit comment by wildbow.</ref>	Creates an area of darkness that weakens abilities and later copies the powers of others in a weaker form.<ref>Grue, Brian Laborn – Controls the West side of the city.  His powers allow him to generate a darkness that consumes or dampens visual and most auditory information, as well as some specific signals.  This serves to blind and nearly deafen those within, confuses the sense of touch, dampens the effects of radiation and weakens the powers of those within (to varying ends).  Since his second trigger event, Grue has the ability to use a single, weaker, less informed version of a power anyone within his darkness possesses.  This second trigger event proved traumatic enough that he’s stepped down from his position as group leader. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
Jouster	Blaster/Striker<ref name=":9">Jouster’s blaster-striker hybrid power involved his lance, a power that conducted along the usual channels, only the form it took varied.  He speared through the computer, then swung the blunted side of the weapon at the couch.  The woman rolled out of the way, and energy rippled away from the lance, freezing and shredding cushions. He could choose the effect, making it fairly versatile.  Concussive blasts, fire, ice, lightning, suction and disintegration, among other things.  Trick was that he had to hit to deliver the effect. - Drone 23.1</ref>, Trump<ref><Bruticus> He's got a set, he can't just create more, right? <Wildbow> That's not quite how it works, Brut <Wildbow> TRUMP touches on trump powers and the type of trump trigger that gives the type of trump power (not a hard rule, mind you) <Wildbow> In Jouster's case, he's a one-four. <Bruticus> Ah <Wildbow> The fact that it's an 'augment weapon' striker power is set in stone, and the elemental variable is chosen by him. - IRC chat archived Spacebattles</ref>	Can conduct a variety of effects through his lance, choosing which one.<ref name=":9" />
Monokeros	Master/Trump<ref>◈ UNICORN IV / MONOKEROS; Kathlee Rosenthal Classification: Master/Trump Power connects to single target, applies immunity, psychometry, clairvoyance and domination. - WD Helena, document by wildbow. </ref>	Is immune to anything an individual under her powers does.<ref>Monokeros can, at whim, with only a brief period between each selection, apply her power to a nearby individual she is aware of.  While under the effect of her power, the individual is attacked with an overwhelming wave of emotion, typically admiration for Monokeros.  Though this can be resisted for a time, Monokeros also remains immune to anything and everything that individual does, has clairvoyance through their eyes, and can psychometrically observe their history/memories, though apparently not to an overwhelming degree of accuracy. - WD Helena, document by wildbow.</ref>
Othala	Trump<ref name=":6" />, Striker<ref>Othala's power grants powers. It does so by means of a striker venue (touch) and it's a positive relationship. - reddit comment by wildbow.</ref>	Can grant powers with a touch, drawing them from a limited set.<ref>Othala – Can grant powers with a touch, drawing them from a limited, rather basic subset, including enhanced speed, strength, invincibility and flight.  Othala wears a red bodysuit with a rune at the chest. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
Unicorn IV	See: Monokeros.
Upperhand	Trump<ref name=":8">Upperhand Trump. Could copy the general nature of powers with an output, and produced his own output in form of powerful hypergravity, pulverizing targets. - parahumanList, Bolded edit by wildbow.</ref>	Can copy the general nature of powers with an output, and produces his own output in form of powerful hyper-gravity, pulverizing targets.<ref name=":8" />
Usher	Trump<ref name=":6" />	Can grant protection against powers to one individual.<ref>Usher - Consistent trump effect (one parahuman?), focused to the point of applying to one person, (threat to one individual), ranged application (blaster-esque situation?), protective (harm involved?). The trump effect blocks powers, implying that the relationship to the power at the time of the trigger is direct and negative. I'm picturing Usher being lifted by TK and dragged toward some threat (building's edge? churning machinery?) with the telekinetic further back, advancing. It fulfills the trend for gaining powers to have ironic consequences if he inadvertently cancels the other parahuman's powers while being threatened and held over a large drop, and that the resulting power reshapes his life to fling him again and again into confrontations vs. parahumans like the one that nearly killed him. - reddit comment by wildbow.</ref>

Stranger

Stranger powers predominantly lend themselves to infiltration. The ability might bypass defenses, mislead, or help to avoid notice or otherwise affect a person's mind.<ref name="PRT"/>

Name	Known ratings	Power description
August Prince	Master/Stranger 3<ref>“Focus,” Prefab said. “We know who these three are. We’ve got a Mover-shaker six, a blaster-shaker four, and a master-stranger three.” If the Prince was the master-stranger hybrid, and Bambina the mover-shaker, then that left the blaster power to Starlet. - Drone 23.2 </ref>	Cannot be deliberately harmed by anyone.<ref>If there's intent behind the action, you can't do it any more than if you were shoving him into an open fire. - wildbow reddit comment.</ref>
Blister	Master/Stranger<ref name=":8">Classification: Master/Stranger Forms subtle bulges of warped space; bulges ‘pop’ on approach, revealing Blister duplicates. - WD Helena, document by wildbow. </ref>	Forms subtle bulges of warped space; bulges ‘pop’ on approach, revealing Blister duplicates.<ref name=":8" />
Circus	Stranger<ref>Question by pendia: What would Circus's hammer space be classified as? Stranger - wildbow reddit comment. </ref>	Has access to an extra-dimensional storage space.<ref>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. - Tangle 6.7</ref>
Fog	Breaker 9<ref name=":4">“Yeah, there’s a Breaker 9, a Shifter 8 with Stranger 3 and a Master 6 in that group? I buy that they’re powerful.” - Sentinel 9.1</ref> (Shaker, Stranger)<ref>Fog is (like many breakers) a sub-class shaker, in that his breaker power has a shaker (and stranger) side effect (the broad cloud of semisolid fog he generates). Much like Shadow Stalker. You can see 9.1 for brief mention of these breaker sub-classes, I think. - Queen 18.5, wildbow comment.</ref>	Transforms into mist.<ref>Fog, Geoff Schmidt – Has the ability to partially or wholly become a living mist, with solidity varying depending on his wishes and the ability to erode living matter. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
Gasconade	Breaker/Stranger 3<ref name=":9">Classification: Breaker/Stranger 3 Unable to affect the world long-term, or be affected long-term. - PRT: Department Sixty Four, thread II [Worm Quest - Page 47] </ref>	Unable to affect the world long-term, or be affected long-term.<ref name=":9" />
Imp	Stranger 5<ref>He nodded. “Well enough. There’s no risk in letting them near Saint. Imp is a stranger-five, Canary is a master eight, but I would be very, very surprised if she had taken control of anyone here for the purposes of misleading us or breaking Saint out.” - Cockroaches 28.2</ref>	Able to become unnoticeable, to the point that people she attacks don’t remember she attacked them.<ref>Her power renders her unnoticeable, to the point that people she attacks don’t remember she attacked them. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
Leonid	Thinker, Stranger, Mover<ref name=":5">Secondary powers of sound detection and sound manipulation, adjusting select things to be up to twice as loud or absolutely silent. It gave him a stranger classification, a thinker classification. His third power was a mover power. - Venom 29.6 </ref>	Secondary powers of sound detection and sound manipulation.<ref name=":5" />
Miasma	Stranger<ref name=":6">Miasma was a stranger, invisible and undetectable but for an odorless gas he gave off that wore away at other’s minds, causing headaches, ringing in the ears, watery eyes and eventual blindness, memory loss and coma. - Sting 26.5</ref>	Invisible, inaudible and emits a colorless, odorless, poison gas.<ref name=":6" />
Night	Changer 8, Stranger 3<ref name=":4" />	Can transform into an inhuman creature, but only when unobserved by conventional sight.<ref>Can transform into an inhuman creature with enhanced speed and strength and a nigh-invincible exterior, but only when unobserved by conventional sight. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
Othello	Stranger<ref>“Othello’s a stranger,” Tattletale said. “I’d think he has an imaginary friend who can mess around with us, but I didn’t see any sign of anyone invisible walking around.” - Imago 21.1</ref>	Has a mirror-self that travels in a parallel dimension yet retains the ability to perceive and act upon this one.<ref>“He has a mirror self,” she said. “Who walks in a world very similar to this one. This self has a limited ability to affect our world, and can’t be affected by us. Othello can push himself into that other world to bring his other self into ours, and vice versa. One leaves, the other enters. It looks very much like teleportation or invisibility. It isn’t.” - 21.4</ref>
Psychosoma	Stranger 4, Master 7<ref>“Psychosoma,” I reported.  “Stranger four, master seven.  First squad, get guns trained on him, everyone else, scan the area.  Master protocols.  Confirm everything.” - Sting 26.5</ref>	Can twist people into monstrous shapes. Dealing enough damage will break the effect, and return the victims to human form, unharmed.<ref>Golem was panting as he rested on the ground.  Psychosoma’s monsters emerged from the smoke, one using the same ledges he’d created to descend, the other crawling on the outside of the building.  Homeless, to look at them, twisted into monstrous shapes.  False shapes.  He could deal enough damage and break the effect, and they’d be human again, unhurt. - Interlude 26a</ref>
Shadow Stalker	Breaker 3 (Stranger 2, Mover 1)<ref>Shadow Stalker is more ambiguous. Breaker 3, sublabels are Stranger 2, Mover 1. - Sentinel 9.1</ref>	Her Breaker state makes her semi-gaseous, transparent and capable of passing through solid surfaces.<ref>Capable of shifting herself into a ‘shadow state’, she can pass through walls, is lightweight, and passes these benefits on to her equipment, including shots fired by her crossbow bolts. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
Sploosh	Shaker 6/Blaster 4/Brute 6/Mover 5/Stranger 2<ref name=":10">➥ SPLOOSH; Real name unknown Disposition: Villain (B)    Classification: Shaker 6/Blaster 4/Brute 6/Mover 5/Stranger 2 Last known location: Anchorage Sploosh is a subordinate in the Anchorage faction of Tuurngait.  Apparent crimes include assault and murder. Sploosh takes the form of a living being of condensation, drawing all available, airborne or liquid moisture to him and reshaping himself as he wills.  Solidity (so to speak; he varies between mist and a gel-like liquid form) varies from moment to moment. - PRT Quest (Anchorage) </ref>	Takes the form of a living being of condensation.<ref name=":10" />
Valefor	Stranger<ref>Valefor was a stranger, less in terms of his ability to hide, and more in his ability to engage in subterfuge. - Interlude 20</ref>	Has the ability to render anyone he makes eye contact with eminently suggestible to his commands.<ref>Stranger-type capes were classified that way due to their capabilities in stealth and subterfuge. Valefor was more the latter. He wasn’t stealthy, exactly, but his ability to perpetrate subterfuge was devastating. One look, and his target was stunned, rendered eminently suggestible. A hypnotic gaze, so to speak. He’d played up the telepathy angle before people caught on, and the costume that echoed the Simurgh was a token to that. The fact that he could leave suggestions that only triggered under certain conditions was another part of it. ‘Attack so-and-so next week’. ‘Set fire to your workplace the next time your boss pisses you off’. - Imago 21.3 </ref>
Wanton	Shaker, Breaker, Stranger<ref name=":7">“Wanton,” Tecton said, stressing the pronounciation, “Is a breaker-stranger class cape. He can turn into a localized telekinetic storm. - Queen 18.5</ref><ref>Wanton was a breaker, someone who altered themselves or their relation to the world by some characteristic of his power, becoming a shaker effect, a telekinetic storm. - Crushed 24.1</ref>	Transforms into a localized telekinetic storm.<ref name=":7" />
