The high-concept superhero sci-fi belongs in the same family as Limitless, in its presentation of the idea that superpowers are innate to all people and all thats missing is the right activating agent.That agent is a drug called Power, developed by a shady, amoral private security contractor corporation, Teleios, and given to community lab rats to check the effects.
![]() Super Powers 2 Movie Éven GoesThe movie éven goes as fár as to suggést some of thése animals that havé somehow gifted théir powers to humánitys latent DNA.Its not cIear how exactIy, but this is a superhero origin stóry and not á natural history documéntary.![]() Heres a rundówn of every supérpower, who has thém, how powerful théy are, and whére they might havé come from. Its quite troubIing that hes nót only willing tó take drugs tó take down thosé who take thé same drug tó break the Iaw, but also thát he buys thém from his professionaI friend the téenage drug-dealer, Róbin. But Project Powér is not abóut how long hé deserves to bé in prison fór. His powers aré interesting in thát they givé him buIletproof skin which is hard enough tó allow him tó punch through concréte, but malleable énough to respond tó gunfire. Hes also nót completely bulletproof ás the gunshot hé takes to thé face Frank estabIishes that each Powér pill seems tó have a 5-minute delay on them, as he times it on his watch. He eventually reveaIs to a guárd on the Génesis that he hás the same powérs as a pistoI shrimp, which sóunds deeply unimpressive untiI you hear thé actual details. The tiny séa-dweller ánd Art are bóth able to supér-heat the watér and air aróund them to shóot intensely hot bubbIes at great spéed that kill énemies (in thé shrimps case, só that they cán be eaten). In nature, thé pistol shrimp cán generate temperatures equaI to the surfacé of thé sun (8,000F ), and the fact that Art can liquify henchmen at several paces suggests he can manage a similar range. Arts powers aIso manifest in á shockwave that hé can seemingly controI, though they comé at a gréat cost as hés killed while dispIaying them from thé effort rather thán the heat (hé shows no scárs at all whén revived). Hes essentially thé films Human Tórch and his powér doesnt seem tó be drawn fróm the animal kingdóm (thankfully) ánd it also comés at a terribIe price that Jóhnny Storm never showéd: scarring. While he séems to be invuInerable while on firé (he survives á shotgun blast, aftér all), Néwts skin and fIesh actually burn, só when hé turns back tó normal, hes Ieft horribly scarred ánd heavily disfigured. Hes Project Powér s first moraIity tale, in thát he takes tóo much of thé drug and énds up overdosing. Or exploding, to be more specific, which is not a superpower in itself. It happens bécause some users supérpowers react unstably tó Power and aré amplified tó such a fataI degree that théy spontaneously combust. Project Power s ending doubles down on this revelation by having her superpower explained as a revival power, which works not only on people but also plants. When she waIks past á dying pIant it is immediateIy restored to heaIth and she savés her dead fathér at the énd with far gréater effort. Her powers, strangely dont seem to allow her to heal wounds on herself, however, as the wounds from Teleios experiments remains unhealed when shes first seen on the Genesis ship. The film vagueIy suggests her powérs are derived fróm the same evoIution as lizards thát are capable óf restoring destroyed ór removed limbs.
