Default an idea I've been thinking about for a game

It'd be another all blue game.

Basically, when players sign up, they would choose characters from a certain fictional universe (I'm thinking DC comics or Marvel in particular) on a first come first serve basis and they would be assigned a blue power based on who they chose. I would do my best to pick fair powers for all of the characters as well.

For example, Superman is basically invincible. If someone were to choose him, I would nerf his powers for the sake of fairness. I wouldn't allow him a blue power which represents his strength, his ability to fly, his speed, and his invulnerability. I would pick one of those powers and assign a blue power that fits. For example, I might assign one player in game to be in possesion of kryptonite and Superman can only be killed if that person supports it (as in a lynch), or if the wolves find the person and kill that person to steal the kryptonite (in the situation of the person with kryptonite being human and the wolves try to attack Superman), or simply a wolf would need to be in ownership of it to wolf him.

In short, just because the character you'd choose would be overpowered, that doesn't mean that your blue power would be as well.

The wolves would be chosen differently as well. Every player would choose their fictional identity and their powers would be assigned. Only after that would I pick the wolves (probbaly being 3 wolves plus a mark, making 4), meaning that just because someone would have a power that would be more helpful as a blue doesn't mean they're not red. This also means that there could be a guardian who is red.

Also, I'm thinking I'd only tell the person themself what their power is. It would be pretty terrible if everyone knew who the guardian was, because the wolves would just pick them off. So yeah. Everyone would know that everyone has a power, and everyone would know which character everyone else is, but no one would know the individual powers.

Ok, I think I covered things fairly well... Any holes in this idea?
