Is this trope omnipotent? Can any possible superpower have Perversion Potential? I know I'm going to get a yes from that question, but there are quite a few that'd be a bit hard to apply.

That's me. Hide / Show Replies

Energy blasts (Eye Beams, Kamehame Hadoken, etc). It's possible to pervert, I suppose, but would require very precise control.

Well, that depends on to what degree you want your perversion. You could blow a hole in a shower room wall from the adjacent room or something. Indeed, with Eye Beams you could presumably make a couple of peepholes the exact perfect shape, size and height for your eyes. And that's just what little old mild-mannered me can come up with before checking for internet forums on this stuff...

Energy blasts? Depends on your control. Grazing them at low power could produce interesting feedback if you could render them nonlethal...

Any ideas for the Midas touch? I can only think of scenarios so specific they would have to be designed just for this situation. Maybe you could touch people to keep them as statues for your sex dungeon or something. Golden dildos?

So, someone had the bright idea of asking at a Rooster Teeth RWBY panel whether Yang Xiao Long's cybernetic arm had a vibration function. Now, someone directly asked the creators about it,but it hasn't been addressed in the series proper, and the actress who plays her seems really on board with the idea. Does it count or not?

I say yes as long as you mention it's not canon, in fact, could you please include the link to the panel video and Dishwasher's fanart of it, both are on RWBY's Funny page.

The quote doesn't seem to describe the trope at all. The Evil Inc. quote or one of the others would be a much better fit. Was there any discussion as to which would be on the page?

I dunno, but I am OK with the current pending something better.

Does this apply to non-sexual examples? If not, do we have a trope for 'alternative irresponsible uses for superpowers' that aren't sexual uses (didn't there used to be one called something like Great Powers, No Responsibility?).

The episode where Wonder Woman needs both hands, and therefore 'other' methods to carry the Atom, is "Dark Heart". http://dcanimated.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Heart_(episode)

Atom looks startled, but not unhappy... but he seems more turned on by the nanotech in the Dark Heart von Neumann-type machine.

...I'm beginning to wonder if, Just for Fun, we can compile a list of powers of all varieties and possible Perversion Potentials for them.

Doesn't limiting it to canon examples make it "Power Perversion Actual?"

What did we do with all the old examples?
