* Similarly, most alter-users from ''{{sCRYed}}'' have one ability granted to them, at least at first. They may later get upgrades in power, and several characters have multiple completely unrelated abilities (Straight Cougar, for example, has the ability of super speed... and turning cars into pink supercharged vehicles). Main character Kazuma's only ability at the beginning of the series is an armored right arm.

** To elaborate, the Hero System defines powers in terms of game-mechanical ''effects'', not so much in ones of ''concept''. So instead of giving your character the explicit power of "plant control" the way you might in some other superhero systems, you'd look at what you wanted them to be able to mechanically ''do'' and then pick appropriate pre-defined "stock" powers (say, things like Change Environment, Entangle, and Telekinesis), tweak them to suit the concept, and unite them all under the same "special effect"...which would just so happen to be "plant control". (''[[MutantsAndMasterminds Mutants & Masterminds]]'' works the same way.)

* Due to the way the HeroSystem rules work, on paper most of the characters from the ''GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'' have multiple superpowers ''on paper''. Functionally, however, what most of them have is just a single power for which they've discovered multiple uses. For example, Bungie is a RubberMan who has superior strength (because she can use her strechability to change her point of leverage in her own body) and invulnerability to most physical attacks (because her elastic body stretches with the force of the attack), and can change her shape (by stretching her body into various forms), but it all boils down to Bungie ''stretching''.
