Man Made Super Powers: good plot or no?

8 years ago

So basically, in my story, a company known for greatness suddenly does something very shady. They start giving people powers for free. No limits, doesn't matter what you've done or are planning to do. Through experiments or fancy gadgets, they give people what they want. Bad guys sign up and start wreaking chaos. Good guys join the super powered mess but are losing the fight. Your character decides its safer to hide and run amidst the chaos. On top of trying to dodge and weave between fights, you have to manage your food and water resources.

It could work, but it really stretches the limits of imagination for me. If the company is giving these powers away, why doesn't every single person on the planet have 10? Why would anyone refuse (other than perhaps 1% of people who don't even know about it)?

Yeah, agreed. This plot doesn't make very much sense.
