RadScavenger & Hlopushka
Hey RadScavenger, if a superhero suddenly found themselves in the wasteland, which powers would actually help them scavenge and survive? I mean, like, would a grappling hook or an invulnerability suit be more useful than a super strength or a telepathic scout? Tell me what you'd think.
A grappling hook or some kind of quick‑lift gadget is gold in the ruins – you need to pull yourself out of a collapsed building, reach high shelves, and get over rough terrain. An invulnerability suit is nice for the big baddies, but you’re usually fighting rusted metal and radiation, not a villain. Super strength helps a bit, but it burns energy fast, and it doesn’t help you sift through junk. Telepathy could snag info, but most of us just need to hear the wind, not read a mind. So yeah, a grappling hook, maybe a lightweight shield, and a set of good tools – that’s what makes a scavenger.
