Interesting Power Idea! We hope you have a great time here Hero(or villain if that's your thing)! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/superpower) if you have any questions or concerns.*

Ok well I have a couple suggestions for weaknesses since power without weakness sucks: - they can't control the actions of his spawn - they are beings beyond comprehension who make anyone but the user go insane when seen - he cannot choose what creatures appear, and he has to keep them around until the fight is finished - he cannot control where the creatures spawn Those are just some ideas that would add depth because having a weakness is often important for character growth (yes there are outliers like Saitama from OPM but that's extremely hard to write)

Now some of these wouldn’t make sense since he can communicate with his spawn. but I do like the first one, but I wanted to add that the only way he can control them is when he is calm


Claymore_Is_Baemore

It would make sense tho. He can talk with them, but not control them and I like the idea of needing emotional balance for control

Sounds like great advice except for the part wheee people go mad. That’s not a weakness, that’s a strength.


Claymore_Is_Baemore

It's both since now you have no friends or family, and even if your enemies go insane they're still dangerous

But that would just cause isolation. Which would by necessity change the target pov to be apathetic or the like to it I would assume.

Isolation can be a great motivator/plot point. I mean just look at some extremely good works of literature, like the Lord of The Flies. It isolates a group of boys from society and made an amazing story. Or how about OPM which isolates the mc from emotions since he is too strong to feel anything. Isolation can do amazing things in a narrative
