Question about the Mega-Power of 'Immortal'

Does the Mega-Power of 'Immortal' include a "does not age" perk?

Seemed self-evident to me that it did, you just don't get the same range of benefits that the Immortal Major power does since you trade them in for the super-fast movie Wolverine Regeneration and ability to recover from anything as long as your bones are kept together.

Yes the power includes doesn't age. Oddly enough no resistance to radiar though.....

My grammar was victimized by autotext.
*Radiation.

Why would "Immortality" provide resistance to radiation?

Well as I pointed out Immortal Regeneration trades away those immunities that the Immortality Major Power supplies (along with any of the other bonuses you see) in exchange for a super-fast regenerative ability and the fact that none of that can kill you. No disease, no toxin, no radiation can be intense enough to kill you and you'll always recover rapidly.

No need to be a smart-alec. Especially as we were talking about the MEGA power and not the SUPER power.

The Mega power of "Immortal" [not "Immortal Regeneration"] and the Major SUPER POWER of "Immortality" are 2 similar but slightly different powers.

I suppose it is possible that both were meant to be a duplicate of each other. Easy fix - Give them both the exact immunities/resistances/etc...

I reread the power, it says nothing about stopping aging, so no, the Mega-Power would not implicitly do this like the Major super-ability does. Good reason to select both, if a player wants this. Or if you don't want to spend a major, at least go for the Longevity power in PU1.

Mega-Immortals who aren't Major-Immortals would be super-regenerating old-men that reproduce with their cousins.

That said, seeing as how even when decapitated their corpses don't deteriorate for a century, I'd probably decrease their aging by half. Their lifespan would also probably be more than doubled since they wouldn't die of a lot of the normal things that kill off old people. They should look very grody over time though, like those guys who get cursed with the deific power.

And possibly several inanities. ... light bulb! To create another villian!

Strict reading says no, but it is logically implied by the term "immortal."

Still, if someone wanted to play a Mega/Immortal character who looks 2,000 years old, I would be okay with it.
