Moving from this thread, I thought I'd open up one for this page to continue that discussion here. For reference, I noted that the current image for Superpower Lottery (which didn't illustrate that trope) would better fit here and it was suggested that it replace the current image:

Far left: More Dakka and Determination.
Center left: Badass Normal, Sanity and the Most Common Superpower.
Far right: Gadgets and Cool Airship.
Center right: Training, Improbably High I.Q., and Money.
Center: Omnipotence.

Here is it at wikisize. It's a bit better, and I don't think we should cut more out of it.

[up] Looks good.

It probably needs a new caption, too. The old one is a bit long-winded.

Is this too long for a caption?

"In terms of power, Dr. Manhattan tends to outshine— err, outglow— the rest of the team's roster."

[up] works but maybe without the outglow part.

or something about "glowing endorsement" or some other phrase with glowing in it (i can't really think of examples rn).

Agreed, just "outshine" is fine.

You can pothole Power Glows to "outshine" since "shine" and "glow" are synonyms.

So just "In terms of power, Dr. Manhattan tends to outshine the rest of the team's roster." ?

It seems we have one for the image. I'll toss my hat in for Earnest's caption as well.

Yeah, I think this one's ready to wrap. The new pic's in and tagged, and I'll put in Earnest's take on the caption. Locking up.
