Quote:Yes/no/kinda sorta. Hexe doesn't have any inherent lightning powers -- what she has is V&V Weather Control -- which, depending on what weather pattern you manifest, temporarily gives you another power -- Sonics for a hurricane, Ice powers for a blizzard, and Lightning Control for a thunderstorm (among others). Her daggers have Lightning Control in them, too, but again, I wouldn't call that her power, any more than I'd say that Nene or Sylia have laser powers.
It's interesting that the Warriors ended up with two lightning generators. Must be that tricky Villains & Vigilantes random power table at work
Silverbolt... well, Silverbolt is indeed those tricky random power tables at work. Several of the powers are recursive -- that is, they say "if you make percentage YY, then roll a die and you get that many extra powers off of Table X". Well... Peg rolled the Armor power, and got extra powers built into it, among which turned out to be the Armor power again, and it got extra powers built into it... Silverbolt as she was originally generated was a real monster. We threw away a lot of powers that simply didn't fit the concept Peggy was coming up with (she can't transmute air to steel any more, for instance, but we've got a wonderful story about a use of that power), and she's still utterly formidable -- 150+ points of armor, under which are 250+ hit points, plus well over a hundred power points, plus... well, you get the picture. She's actually tougher than Hexe in terms of the damage she can endure, and the only player character who beats her was explicitly designed by a collaboration between the then-GM and her new boyfriend to out-do Hexe.
