Overview

Temporary powers are powers that a hero or villain may only use for a short time. The three main types of temporary powers are powers that last for a designated amount of time, a designated amount of uses, or until a specific action is accomplished. Some temporary powers may fall into more than one category; for example, powers that run out when either a specific action is accomplished or a certain amount of time, whichever is sooner.


  • This power can be earned any number of times through Flashback. Temporary powers denoted by this icon can be obtained an unlimited number of times via Ouroboros flashbacks, and remain for some time after the flashback is over.
  • This power can only be earned once at full strength; further earnings will be reduced in number of charges or strength. Temporary powers denoted by this icon can also be obtained via Ouroboros flashbacks. If the power has already been obtained once, however, a more limited version (an "echo") of the power is awarded instead.
  • File:Exclaimation2.png Be careful, these powers can be lost when you speak to the contact from which you received them again. Even though they appear to have a certain number of uses remaining, the power will be lost and you cannot regain them.

Mayhem and Safeguard Missions Powers

Temporary powers granted during Mayhem and Safeguard missions

Completion Rewards

Temporary powers are granted after completion of Mayhem and Safeguard Missions, if they are of the appropriate level. Most players begin in Kings Row, since you can get a Detective contact, and a police radio, at level 5. The instanced map you get, and the temporary power rewarded, correspond to your level. If you are in a zone where the radio is "quiet", then your level is too high, or no missions are available at all in the zone.
