SP1RIT XD dude seriously :D Struck by meteor... Made my day. As for the idea, let me pain a picture for you. You average joe stumbles and watch out, falls into an open sever. But he doesn't change to a rat or become some sort of slime, or die. NO, he becomes Diarrhea Man! With the super power to shit at command. Imagine how OP he would be. "This is a bank robbery!", No worries, Diarrhea Man is here! "Bruupp!", "Tsssss!", "Brrruup!" 'Oh! That last one was juicy'... "What is this smell", "God, I can't breathe!". The Diarrhea Man saves the day! (I could already see that being adapted into a webcomic).

      SP1RIT This is clearly a brand new idea! Sounds fantastic! Thank you, there is something to think about! Although this is a shocking idea!

      Or maybe a little easier ?! The main character is struck by ball lightning! And he gains new abilities.
      According to statistics, every 100 inhabitants of the Earth see ball lightning? !!!

        Maybe over exposure to some familiar subtance, either radioactive or poisonous. Or maybe evolution of genes which made him or her react to increasing UV rays of the sun. To add something finally, how about the idea of having a diety or some entity bored and loaned a person a piece of his or her powers for fun.

        Those are pretty cliché ideas but some of the best so far I could suggest.

          Oh, it will be a black comedy ... and its excrement will possess the magic power of "Night Gold"! By chance, a big bean grows out of the grain from the grain .... and ... something happens ... all the people who tried it begin not to get out of the toilets ... or become zombies? but this is not the same story ... these are horrors!

            Allen_Clay012 Yes, this is clearly somewhere I have read or seen. But this radioactive under the IAEA and global sanctions looks extremely unrealistic. Like chemical waste. Unless someone in the quiet transported this waste ... but this is a repeat with Godzilla ...

            in the 21st century it is very difficult to come up with a new plot ... almost everything has already been used by other writers.

            But thanks for your ideas.

                let the fate take care of it. the fish swam in the "Bermuda Triangle" ( which count as one of the seven miracles of the world) . 2: the bird ate the fish and travel miles. 3:country bumpkin teen went for hunt. 4:today was lucky for him and he haunted a huge bird for him and his old folks. 5:his old folks couldn't handle the hidden power and died. 6:he misunderstand his power as curse from god.
                and the story goes on.

                    Then another question, how bad is it to use the cliché? Does the new idea seem more original and interesting? But may not be accepted by readers. But walking along the beaten track is too boring, not without reason the classics spoke through thorns to the stars!

                      DarkRay my bro, in life you need to be lucky also or you'll be pooman or dirtguy or something lol

                          Cliches are fine depending on how you use them. Mine is full of cliches, but I also make fun of them at the same time I use them.

                              The_Good_Devil The idea is interesting, up to 3 points. But you should not mention sacred things in the novel if you do not want to damage your karma

                                  Allen_Clay012 Maybe the ability should be within the limits of realism - like his instinct tells him that in this place there are gold coins or that he should buy this fish and have a ring in her belly? Although this was also the case with European storytellers. It seems to be Anderson and his tales? Damn, how hard is it to come up with something new ?!

                                      The_Good_Devil yup, indeed but it is a bit weird. No offense tho... Hehehe

                                      Somehow if I cannot find something that is indeed original. I just manipulate facts or knowledge around me. We can make use of those cliches to make new ideas. Or should we say change some rules with regarding to some of the properties of its abilities.

                                      I duno...
