Switching your mind with another character's so you can inhabit their body: Power or Plot Device? Discuss!

When the Narrator wants it to happen, it is a Plot Device-- and a really good one. Remember that Episode of Justice League Unlimited when Lex Luthor switched minds with the Flash! That was cool!

As a power, that is something I might consider for the next Suite (Psionics). As is, I'm including a new Advantage and Disadvantage where you can mentally "connect" to certain people. If the person is an enemy, they take a Disadvantage that you have your mental hooks in them (and vice versa).

This is definitely a great idea. The idea of your hero having an arch nemesis nagging at him/her from the dark corners of your consciousness is a wicked-cool concept!

I'd love to see a power for a mind swap ability (probably at least on par with Mind Control in terms of point cost I'd imagine).

"Hey, aren't you going to wash your hands?"

"No... because I'm EVIL!"

Classic.
