[WP] The atomic structure of copper appeared on all devices capable of displaying it. 27 minutes later, all traces of copper are eliminated. Pennies, wiring, the Statue of Liberty, and water pipes all vanished at the same time. Even bronze and brass objects were affected. We noticed the power first.

[WP] You invented the "dark bulb", a device that screws into a light socket and creates anti-photons when powered on. It's a hit in Alaska for the midnight Sun seasons, but now criminals are using them worldwide to darken areas and commit crimes. You've had enough!

[WP] Upon returning home from your job as a security officer, you are assailed by a man dressed in all black. He misses and slices his sword through your car like it's tissue paper. "I am Reaper, Black Blade of the Crimson Edge of the Illuminati. Prepare to --" You shoot him in the face.

[WP] When the alien assault force attacked, they used projectiles that were as solid as Nerf bullets. They came in droves, almost 2 million of those jellyfish-like beings. Even their 600,000 ships were like aluminum foil. I jumped in one to steal it, and seriously deformed it while getting in.

[WP] You're a corrections officer watching the cameras. You see a bunch of prisoners and a few guards getting zapped by some sort of alien. Then you see the conspiracy theorist with the tin-foil hat get zapped, and he doesn't go docile like everyone else. Luckily, there's a roll of tin-foil in here.

[WP] Today, you woke up with a strange ability. Whenever you stop actively holding onto an item, it stays precisely where your hands left it. Even floating in mid-air. Things you let go of are firmly stuck in place, and nobody but you seems to be able to move them.
