Overview

New temporary powers were added on January 17th, 2006. These powers were originally given to any character under level 10 and would disappear upon reaching level 10. There is a different power for each origin.

As of Issue 7, origin powers are no longer temporary and are given to all characters, regardless of level. They are, however, still found in the Temporary Powers list.
