Drawbacks:

Can take a maximum of two drawbacks

Wasn’t Important anyways – you forget all preexisting knowledge aside from what your origin gives you. You don’t know Batman is Bruce Wayne or Superman has a secret base in the North Pole. If you take this it will not count towards your two drawback max. +100 CP

Nemesis – You have a super powered nemesis who you can’t seem to get rid of. Even if you kill him, the universe will just find a way to bring him back again and again. +100 CP

No killing – It’s the one thing that separates you from them. You can never bring yourself to kill someone, no matter how much they deserve it. If you accidently cause the death of someone you will break down emotionally until you find a way to make it right. +100 CP

Uncontrolled- You have a hard time controlling your powers. If you have super strength a playful slap on the back could kill a normal person, super speed has a hard time putting on his breaks, etc. With a lot of training from someone who knows a thing or two you can become better at controlling it, though in times of stress or weakness old habits will return. +100

Hungry – Your powers have increased your metabolism to an insane degree. You always find yourself hungry and must eat all the time. A minimum of 7000 calories a day must be consumed or you begin to lose your powers. Any day where you use your powers for more than a few hours or have had a major fight, you must consume twice that. Your hunger can make it difficult to concentrate on tasks. +100 CP

Super arrogance – You’re one arrogant mother fucker, in fact it’s a super power. When it comes to what you’re capable of, you think you’re the best and won’t listen to anyone telling you otherwise. For example, if you have super strength you might think you can KO superman. Not only do you do reckless and stupid things, people don’t like you as much. +200 CP

Like a moth to the flame – There are people in your life you care deeply for and feel the need to protect them at nearly any cost. However these people always seem to find a way to be in danger. They’ll get captured by a bad guy more than a couple times, thrown off a bridge probably a couple more, and all around be a danger magnet. If you have a secret identity you feel obligated to keep it from them, fearing that it will simply put them in more danger. If they die, you’ll have a year and one day to find a way to bring them back, if you can’t its game over. +200 CP

Pissed em all off- You’ve managed to piss off either the Injustice League of the Justice League. You won’t always be their number one priority, unless you escalate it that is, but you’ll be in the top ten. They won’t ever come at you alone, even Batman. The Injustice League plans to kill you, and the Justice league will throw you in the phantom zone. +300 CP

Weakness – Maybe it’s a glowing space rock, fire, or something more mundane. Whatever it is, it sucks. You possesses a weakness to something that robs you of your powers, weakens you, and causes physical pain. It will happen at least a couple of times in the ten years you’ll be there. Don’t let your enemies figure out what it is. +300 CP

Notes

1) The top speed for those with super speed are under the best of conditions. In most normal circumstances you’ll be able to get up to 4x the speed of a peak human. 2) Super Speed and Super Flight taken together allow you to fly up to 150 MPH, and make it easier for you to reach you max speed on land. 3) Power Ring Option –As a member of the corps you must uphold the ideals and missions of the corps. If you do not, the ring will become inert and useless. You’ll be expected to perform dangerous missions both alone and with other lantern members. The death rate among trainees is dangerously high. 4)
