Known Powers:

Adamantium Skeleton and Claws: Tarantula’s skeleton has been impregnated with microscopic scales and plates of Adamantium, a Class 1000 strength material. This means that Tarantula’s bones are virtually indestructible. Tarantula is +1cs to damage in blunt, charging or any combat that involves the use of his body as a weapon. He may stun or slam any opponent that he can damage. Tarantula has 3 8” long claws of solid Adamantium that rest inside the forearm, exiting from ports on the top of the hand. Against living targets he is able to inflict Incredible (40) edged damage.

Armour Skin: Due to the same implantation process that gave him his Adamantium skeleton and claws, the molecules of Tarantulas epidermis have been augmented with Class 1000 Adamantium molecules, granting him Monstrous (75) protection from physical and Amazing (50) protection from energy attacks.

Stealth and Cloaking: Tarantula is able to bend light and sound waves around his body and those of anyone touching his (if he chooses to) with Monstrous (75) ability.  Spotting him requires a minimum Yellow Psyche feat on the Incredible (40) column.

Wall Crawling: Tarantula can adhere to most surfaces with Amazing (50) ability, and is able to move at his normal movement rate along any surface (including vertical, horizontal, inclined, reclined. etc.).

 

Kamehameha Blasts: Tarantula is able to channel his Chi into a wide-angle energy beam that he is able to do Unearthly (100) force or energy damage with, range of 4-areas. Tarantula is however affected by this attack and receives the following penalties. Tarantula is -2cs on all Agility and Endurance feats, and has no energy powers for the next 2-rounds.

Kaioken Surge: Tarantula is able to enhance his own abilities with a technique called the Kaioken. This ability allows Tarantula to focus his energies, granting himself a boost in ability to the rank of Unearthly (100), for a total of 1-10 rounds. There are a number of other abilities that he can use including:

-Power Rush: When using the Kamehameha attack, Tarantula is able to increase its’ output to Shift Z (500) rank, with a range of 10-areas. However, it does require Tarantula to make an Endurance FEAT roll, or be stunned for 1-10 rounds.

-Adrenal Surge: Every 3-rounds Tarantula is able to raise his Fighting, Strength and Endurance ranks by +1cs to a maximum rank of Unearthly (100), Every time he does though, Tarantula must make an Endurance FEAT roll or be stunned.

Transformation: Tarantula is able to transformation like all of Saiya-jin heritage. When in the light from a full moon, Tarantula transforms into a giant ape, with Shift Y (200) abilities and armour skin, and has a wide angle beam weapon fired from the mouth that does Unearthly (100) intensity energy damage.

Super Sayian Transformation: Tarantula is one of the only Saiya-jin’s that is able to transform into the pinnacle of Saiya-jin evolution, a Super Saiya-jin. In this form all of Tarantula’s physical abilities, Psyche and powers, increase to the rank of Shift Y (200) for the length of the transformation. Tarantula is also able to transform once again into an Ascended Saiya-jin, and in this form all of Tarantula’s physical abilities, Psyche and powers, increase to the rank of Shift Z (500) for the length of the transformation

Life/Energy Detection: Tarantula is able to detect and/or read the energy patterns of other living beings. There is no power rank with this power; however, Tarantula can become overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of some power levels. Anything over Unearthly (100) rank requires Tarantula to make a Psyche FEAT roll or be mentally stunned for 1-10 rounds.

Regeneration: Tarantula is able to recover Excellent (20) amounts of health lost to damage, and 1-Endurance rank per day. He also has Monstrous (75) resistance to most disease/toxin attacks, receiving a +1cs feat roll against them.
