#power stuff

in the miraculous spider-verse au i have deciDED that every ladybug has a slightly different power bc its more fun that way. (imagine every ladybug in battle in the new universe and they all just conjure up random objects, like yay you all got cleaning surprise, go apeshit)

Marinette: she has your standard lucky charm, because I like what it means for her character. She’s extremely smart and resourceful, and even when the world is collapsed on it’s head, she will find a way to save it even if she has to use a plastic fork to do it.

I’m also giving her an extra power, a Good Luck blessing she can use on whatever to improve its chances of [insert something battle relevant here], whether that be making a building Not Fall Down after being wrecked, or a civillian remaining hidden when the akuma is searching for them, basically just Concentrated good luck.

She’s the most agile and experienced out of all of them. Because of the nature of her powers, she’s very easy to underestimate, but trust me she WILL kick your ass.

The concept of Creation and destruction in this universe is most similar to how it is in canon, being more strictly aligned with luck and intellect.

Alya: explosions. like mini supernovas. Bursts of pure creative energy. It’s tied to her energy levels, so she can’t tire herself out with it. But she is incredibly OP. She is fighting more monstrous things, her main antagonist being Mayura and senti-monsters being the main threat. So she can go more “all out”, but the stakes do tend to be higher because both sentimonsters and Ladybird herself tend to uh... wreck the place. And she needs her miraculous cure at the end to put everything back. 

Creation and Destruction in this universe is more like Light and Dark in this world, so its powers are sort of based off that take. 

Adrien: Vitality! i like him having the power to heal, but also to buff up and make himself stronger. I like him having a strength based power as well, bc under the mask, Adrien is very much a push over. In his universe, his dad is dead and his mom is a wreck because of it (and she’s secretly a villain bc of it too). But he does treat everyone like they’re fragile (like his mother), trying his best to make everyone happy, and i like him standing up for himself and in extension, for the people of Paris. 

Creation and destruction in the adribug universe might be more like health and elimination, and the powers follow that line of thought.

Nino: I like Nino being associated with protection, so i’ve decided he can create physical barriers out of creative energy that can be maintained so long as he has energy. He can use them to protect or attack, and his yoyo weapon would be more like a giant yoyo shield thing. After an upgrade, he can also use it to make paths/ramps and he can skate along them with his shield board thing (kinda like frozone in the incredibles), making him incredibly mobile! So cool creation barrier thingies!!!! After another another upgrade, he can maybe shape the energy more to make weapons or objects, but i doubt they can be maintained for very long being so compact etc. 

I also like him being a generator for small bolts of electricity, just for a lil added Miles Morales venom type spice. yknow, for the aesthetic.
