Re: Gloop Guns from The Incredibles
Aren't the gloop guns pretty much a canonical case of Goo (Powers p 42) ? They're layered bindings with Engulfing, Only Damaged by Burning or Corrosion, and Sticky, probably Linked to a low damage or non-damaging Crushing attack which is what sometimes does enough damage to knock Mr. Incredible off his feet.
Mr. Incredible trivially breaks free of a single ball (low power binding compared to his massive ST) and runs for it, but keeps getting hit and the binding layers increase. Mostly, it's not a big deal, but he gets knocked down twice and each time he gets hammered with additional layers until he can't break free and then he's done for. But at the base, it's Binding.
Hmm, might add Cosmic (breaking free doesn't reduce layered bonus) to represent that fact that until you burn those globes off, they're still sticking to you.
It really looks like a Binding to me more than a DX penalizing affliction.
Mandatory Technical Grappling Note: And it works even better if you use Technical Grappling, because all those CP start inflicting ST and DX penalties organically.
