I've thought of one if I was an Air raid warden in London how about sense life...you know finding survivors trapped under the rubble.

Re: Best super power to have in WW2?
I don't know if it's a contender for most interesting, but my own Weird War II never-played-(yet) writeup includes:
Captain Collective: Russian Theater. Stats of a competent but unremarkable special forces soldier focused on winter ops, with the biggest Ally Group he can afford that is made up of identical clones of himself, including a group Mindlink and Unkillable 3 with the Limitation that as long as at least one of them is alive, the direct control that makes one of them "The PC" passes to the nearest upon the current one's demise. Losses are made up by another body (chosen by group volition, not randomly) becoming completely disabled and requiring external life support as it splits into two of itself at the normal rate it would take the dead one to heal up to full HP with no Regeneration but TL7 medical care.

Unkillable is always nice.

Re: Best super power to have in WW2?
I was about to say Unkillable would be the worst power to have. It's nice to be able to survive the unsurvivable, but without some other power to fend for yourself soon or later you'd end up in some secret lab being experimented on for the war effort.
I believe Ridiculous Luck would be better because it's much more subtle, but it's also pretty boring and unfitting for the thread. |

Re: Best super power to have in WW2?
Unaging and being a WASP American with an Engineering degree is probably enough. You can spend the war designing aircraft for Lockheed and not have to experience anything worse than rationing.
After you've survived long enough you fake your death and sell off your California real estate. Then set yourself up again somewhere safe and pleasant.

Re: Best super power to have in WW2?
I don't think being a WASP can be described as a superpower.

Re: Best super power to have in WW2?
I don't know if this would be best, but I played a superhero in a World War II GURPS Supers campaign. He operated "back home" in the United States of America. He was an incredibly-fast speedster who could fly at the speed of sound!
Well, that's pretty fast for WWII.
