Heir powers (class powers 3)

Edit: Grammar
Edit2: Capitalized the "g" in "RaGey thing". Just...if you look at it too fast otherwise it looks really bad
Edit3: Wow...just a lot of stuff I really fricked up first time around. This was not even readable before I swear
Man, this one took way too long to write. When did I say I was doing this? A week ago? Anyway, it's here now, so moving on
Alright, time to analyze the abilities of John Homestuck, the mainest of main characters of the web series Homestuck
Heir of Breath
Windy thing, one with the wind, retcon - all John powers
Blood sacrifice - John let's himself be trapped for years without his retcon powers in order to stop the big bad, and all other heirs of breath will be tasked with a similar fate. They must sacrifice their aspect to ensure its future propagation, a death into life sort of thing
Honestly, I'm not sure how much I can add onto this one? John's quest is by far the most complete in Homestuck so far, with his death in the Epilogues signifying that paradox space has completely used up everything they needed him for and has discarded him like a piece of trash. That can only mean that as far as the narrative is concerned, he's hit his peak. And honestly? That doesn't seem too bad, the dude was broken as fuck right up until he decided to bite the big one. If and when he does come back, I imagine we won't see too much more development out of him as Jake seems to have completely taken over his role as protagonist. We'll see, though. I guess there are two things he could add to his arsenal:
Rasenshuriken - condenses all the mighty winds of a thousand typhoons into one little compact ball of windy energy. It would spin with such speed and intensity that you would probably hear it give off and ear-splitting high pitched whine, cutting into your eardrums like the wind would slice through anything it makes contact with. Him clashing with Dirk's unbreakable katana using this move would be some Naruto vs Sasuke-ass shit, I'll tell ya that much
8y - John rolls the highest roll possible on his Pop-O-Matic Vrillyhoo. He sends typhoons so great that they collapse in on themselves and make a new green sun
Heir of Life
This is a completely broken aspect. Then again, this is heirs we're dealing with, what else is new?
Excessive strength - these guys are like natural disaster levels of absurd when it comes to punching power. Like a mini one punch man, most of the enemies they fight go flying a hundred miles away like in a cartoon every time they eat one of these guy's fists. That paired along with their naturally cheery attitude and tendency to use comically large and cumbersome weapons makes them proper cartoon character material
Aqua man, but better - like a rust blood, the heir of life has the ability of communion with animals. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they were able to get their own Denizen to leave their planet and help fight the black king with them, that's how personable they are
Plant manipulation: the life player's version of the windy thing would probably be pretty similar to Hashirama's wood-style jutsu, using giant plants with thorns as whips and means of grabbing, binding, throwing, and the ability to encase themselves in dense wood for protection. Their powers are explosive and...say for example, Jack Noir cuts the chain and prospit's moon starts to fall to the battlefield. The heir of life is so powerful, they could grow a world tree miles into the air and catch it before it's destroyed. That's the scope of what they can pull off in one attack once god tiered
It's Morphin time - the heir can also magnify their already busted strength via shape shifting into stronger animals. At this point we're talking Rage Mode Gamzee level strength PLUS Equius PLUS Dad Egbert. They can mimick gorillas, Hercules beetles, mantis shrimp, eagles, sharks--they're Ultimate Kars. THEY. ARE. ULTIMATE. KARS.
Never challenge this guy to an arm wrestling match, unless you're something ridiculous like a fully realized Page of the same aspect. Man, whoever has that classpect must be super strong. And handsome. What? Oh yeah, the list
Planet Quest - be a sacrifice to your denizen. If John's quest is any indication, the heir's greatest ability is usually both unlocked and used on the planet itself. For John, he had to make a pretty puny sacrifice of being tied down by terezi's orders, but that's kinda one of the biggest benefits of being a breath player is that you get to have it easy. A life player isn't so lucky. Because a heir has to sacrifice themselves to their compliment to unlock their true abilities, the heir of life would accept death at the hands of their Denizen in order to bring back all their dead allies or universes. This could probably even bring back dream ghosts, and the wonderful thing about being an heir is that you usually get to come back. I mean geeze, how many times has John died and come back to life? And watch, he's going to do it again in a little bit. You know he will
Heir of Light
Oh look, one of my old classpects
Light speed - they are light, so what's stopping them?
Massive luck supply - unlike Vriska who had to save up luck and use it sparingly, an heir just kinda has luck naturally, and a ton of it too. They aren't quite Clover's level, but they have consistent bouts of luck where they bend over right before a sniper shoots or the way Karkat just so happened to decide to leave his hive right after raging at sollux and running that virus. They would be impossible to sucker punch, and oftentimes their surprised, uncoordinated reactions to attacks will just so happen to throw them out of the way. They would be very lucky with the fluorite octet (captcha code 82THE8TH, shit is open source dawg), and probably get the highest roll in 1/10 of the crucial moments in which they throw dice, getting better and more consistent with it (somehow) as they grow
Invisibility: can bend light around them through passively manipulating it. Can also just...become light and spread all over the room too, but that might make it hard to focus
Sweet loot: the heir would have a knack for knowing just where to look to get what they need, and would probably have a magic cue ball on them at some point as well. Things may start getting real dicey if they start asking about god tier clocks and crowbars, but chances are they're too dumb to ask about that since they're an heir (no offense)
Void session reboot - if a void session has gone on long enough, the heir can succumb to the Voidy blackout bullshit in their session and be overcome by it in order to unlock the true light within them that sees on into eternity, endless possibility. And they'll use that to completely reset their session with the proper players and circumstances
Heir of Time
Unhealthy amount of focus - as soon as the heir of time gets started on a task or job, they can't stop. They will angrily shake off anyone who tries to disturb their concentration, and at some point they will look down, check their watch and be all like "IT'S BEEN NINE HOURS?! WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME???"
Yeah, sure, NOBODY told you. You just keep telling yourself that, bud
The World - the heir won't have to worry about this too much though, as from the moment they enter their session they gain the passive ability to slow down time the more they focus, with the ability getting better any better with every rung on the Eccheladder they climb, and then when they reach god tier they can stop time entirely for 5 seconds, with a cooldown starting at one minute and getting shorter with each god tier level. Thus, they will progress exponentially as the game goes on as they are given the ability to allot more and more time to their task
Winds of time - the heir has the unique ability to merge with the flow of time itself, then time travel through that medium. In this state they're aware of any doomed timelines in temporal proximity to them, and can flow between timeline to timeline as free as a bird. Eventually paradox space stops distinguishing between alpha and doomed versions of this player, as they will begin to inadvertently flow together and mix, memories and everything
Localized time travel - can make one part of a system go faster, slower, backwards, backwards, not at all, etc, and do something completely different or nothing at all with another part of the system. In other words, they can make the base of a tree age a thousand years while keeping the rest the same age, making it look like a skinny little tree is growing out of a stump, when in fact they are the same tree
Clockwork majyyks - just like how John inherited retcon powers and Equius inherited the void of the furthest ring through Lord English, the heir of time will also inherit a master class power, although be incredibly limited in its use. Since Heirs have to make a sacrifice with their aspect, they would probably be completely immortal for a short period of time, but then they have to give all the clockwork majyyks from their god tier clocks to somehow override the just/heroic deaths of other god tiers and be dealt the penalty instead, dealing them a swift death. And in doing so they inherit entropy, destruction, and death. Another form of their aspect
Heir of Heart
Oh look, another one of my old classpects is here. Welcome, heir of heart
Now get the fuck out of here - your dream self, at least. Chances are their dream self will be dead pretty quick, as they need to find out how to inherit ghostly powers, the soul powers. Keywords here with heart are Ghosts and The Power of Love...also ego, but we'll get to that in a bit. In the meantime it's advisable that you prototype your dream self, though you don't necessarily need to. It's just that you could probably keep those sprite powers upon god tiering since I'm pretty sure they count as ghost powers
Ghostly pizzowers - congrats, you're Casper. I mean, at least I HOPE you're a friendly ghost, cause here's the thing...ghosts are kind of immortal??? Well, I mean, you would only be part ghost like Danny phantom, but still. You don't damage easily, you got some sort of super strength, you have cool white eyes that are probably steaming because you're still alive and have a large supply of heart power in your body, and you would probably be the coolest dude in your session if you weren't such a dork. Oh, right, about that...
The Power of Love - yeah, you're a fucking dork alright. That's alright though, we love dorks and they tend to get all the ladies in the Homestuck universe anyway. John, Jake, Jade, Jane--oh, wait, no, not that one
In any case, The Power of Love is like the windy thing except instead you transform into a magical girl and use a pretty wand to blast enemies with like the feelings you have for your bf/gf/crush/waifu/husbando/your-narcissistic-ass-self/etc. A surprisingly devastating power, it vanquishes evil second best to only hope I would think
Alter ego - You have an OC? Congratulations, you can turn into them now. Technically every OC is a splinter self and you can swap between those just in general. You still have to be the magical girl every time you use The Power of Love though, that's non-negotiable. So yeah, think D4C but more limited. Damage probably transfers over a bit (though not too bad for a ghost person) and it's only for splinters you're aware of--OP if you Ultimate self, but that's a whole nother can of worms entirely
a whole nother can of worms entirely - You are a BEAST with your ultimate self. You can go to whatever timeline you want and fuck around with whatever. I wish I was joking, but that's kind of an inevitable thing with the heir of heart--they deal with the flow of their aspect and becoming it, after all. You lucky bastards. Tell the ninja superhero version of myself he can suck a dick, cause he's a lucky bastard too and I really don't understand where I went wrong in life to not end up in that timeline
Ultimate!Sacrifice - you can channel the powers of all of your alternate selves into one body, but as a result you consolidate all of them into one person and you no longer have any more splinters. You'll be absurdly powerful for a while, but think about it--you're already a ghost and you have no more timelines to hop to. You are your ultimate self. When you die, that's it. Lights out. And this is what makes this absurdly broken class balanced, as in the end you'll always have to do this. It's your role as the heir of heart. Will some miracle save you? Will the power of love bring you back from the dead one final time? Sounds like a load of bullshit to me, but as we all know magic is real so anything is possible
Heir of Rage
Oh shit, nevermind - magic is fake as SHIT, in fact you're pretty sure that anything like that starting with an m is fake -- magic, miracles, messiahs, even magnets. You can passively manipulate reality to suck the credibility out of anything even a little far-fetched. You suck the life and hope out of everyone, Mr. Grinch
Fear mongering - can passively manipulate people through mind abilities that instill fear in any action they don't like. For the target it's like you've had years of negative reinforcement surrounding actions you've never considered wrong in the past and regard doing it with an unexpected sense of shame. Like the Heir of Rage's presence just casts this huge, menacing shadow over everything you do. Even if you have the balls and courage to press through regardless of their mind games, it will still take a lot out of you since they're basically pumping you full of raw stress hormones. You might get halfway to them and be like "you know what? i...dkfjjj. i neebd to lied down. .. ." And then you just conk out like a light right then and there because you're just too emotionally exhausted
Propaganda - same thing but mass-produced
Heir Chucklevoodoo Mk I - can passively mind control their victim when ever they want through exhile-style commands. Must be within 3 feet of the voodoo though, so if they even so much as drop it the spell will probably be broken
Heir Chucklevoodoo Mk II - This one controls people not through their minds, but through everything else. They manipulate their environment gradually over a much greater radius, causing the victim to lose items, have the room change shape micrometer by micrometer 24/7, introducing even entirely new rooms if they can convince the victim it has always existed. It's kind of like how you don't notice yourself change growing up until you look back at when you were a baby, and are just like what the fuck how did that turn into this? Otherwise it's just too darn slow man
RaGey thing - oh...
oh god
This is where you take all the dormant rage from a several kilometer radius and unleash it, channeling it all into your opponent through your body. Any normal black king will die in one hit, the alpha troll's session black king in like probably 30 or something. It will hurt like hell for you too, but your body should also be pretty H A R D from the rage conditioning it so you shouldn't end up with Midoriya broken bones in the first attack. Maybe on the second attack. It would probably be good think about this like OFA, actually. Try using it in moderation so you don't hurt yourself and all. If you have a life player offering constant Regen though, you're broken. Insane DPS
Become Rage - in order for an heir to become one with their aspect, they have to sacrifice it. For the rage player, that means ditching their humanity like Dio or transcend their physical form through hope. It could be interpreted as either Jotaro Kujo's classpect or Dio's, which is why they have the same type of stand. They're not actually stopping time, they're just so mad that the world freezes around them when they command it. Notice how the saltier Jotaro is, the more time powers he unlocks and the harder his punchers get
Heir of Blood
Earthbound - You can't fly. no, I'm not just making a karkat joke. I mean since you embody bonds and human limits, you, your dream self, and your god tier are all physically incapable of flight. How in the world is this a useful power, you ask?
It isn't. You suck
Okay...not really - because your powers are still dope as hell. Do you know what turning into blood means? You can enter people's bodies and take control of them. Now. Okay, not gonna lie. This one can get a bit fucked up. If you've ever had something nasty in your blood stream for extended periods of time, you know what I mean. With every heartbeat you're just redistributing the same agony you felt seconds before and many, many times before that, and will continue on long into the future. And since it's blood it literally permeates throughout your entire body, every nook and cranny. It's absolutely horrible. Drink responsibly drinking age kiddos, hangovers are literally the worst. okay no worse experiences exist bUT IM GETTING OFF TRACK FUCK SHIT DAMN BACK TO THE POWERS
Blood brothers - you and your allies can all get passive boosts by signing blood contracts to follow each other to the ends of the Earth and even to hell the dark carnival itself. Careful, as a bloodbound you're often subject to bad fates like that. The boosts are pretty good though, and having your allies depend on you is probably what motivates you anyway****
My allies give me STRENGTH - the heir of blood can literally turn into their allies for a short period of time. No, you still can't fly, get over it. You're never flying. However, this ability let's you synthesize you and your allies' powers into new attacks for the sake of the team. you stand at the front lines. Also...
You can swap places with an ally - which makes traveling and strategizing very interesting. Easier, but harder too. You'll have to coordinate with your teammates a lot and be able to think fast on your feet, same as your allies. It's the kind of ability that sucks when you don't know what you're doing but actually has insane potential on the battlefield and is incredible for confusing and overwhelming opponents
Spiderman - as an heir you have an overwhelming excess of your aspect, so there's no way you can run out of blood by using it as claws and swinging from roof to roof with it. There's your replacement for flying
Cave meditation - you must isolate yourself from your friends for an entire year to gain spiritual knowledge. Then, you will be able to shapeshift into ANYTHING, as your bonds are omnipresent
Heir of Doom
H3Y WH475 UP 6UY5
Bootleg Bard - everywhere the heir goes any danger they encounter mysteriously suffers a horrible fate. This is their aspect trying to protect them, as the heir's aspect usually does. Unfortunately, this can lead to lots of misunderstandings and of course hurt people they love. Because of this, you might end up like Jotaro in jail so that you don't hurt anyone
Natural hacker - you don't have much hacking experience, but you seem to have a knack for it. If you could get sollux to teach you how you'd be a hacking MACHINE. I don't even know what that means, but I'm guessing you'll be able to make transportalizers go anywhere or paradox slime computers lock onto any object. Also ~ATH shenanigans
Doomy thing - you just cause a lot of death. Not sure how I can sugarcoat it more beyond that. You can wilt and rot fields for miles. You are death itself, what can I say
Mituna - you must rise to the challenge of making the world a better place, which probably doesn't resonate with you too much for some reason? Don't worry though, this will cause irreversible mental damage that will have you talking like a computer virus forever. Why do you want this, exactly? Who knows, in any case you stopped Kurloz from doing SOMETHING bad so I'll guess you...deserve it? Man, I really do not understand this character. Perhaps hero titles are in fact more nuanced than I would like to make them out to be...NAH, I'm 100% right, kiss my ass
Heir of Grief - you become doom, and thus you've been hit hard by Life. Life and Death like to pretend they're opposites, but in fact each of them likes kicking you around just as much as the other. Eventually, you become entirely consumed by despair, probably because something has gone horribly wrong in your session. Either your black king, Jack, or your session itself has too much life in it and it's your job to reintroduce consequences, authority, and death
Zombie virus - your hacker skills have finally paid off. You have invented a virus that can control hoards of people at a time, and download it into their brains through USB darts. You can control all of your imps/ogres/boss monsters now. You have one of the biggest npc armies of all the classpects actually, as you passively manipulate authority itself. Problem is they can only take general commands and attack as an army, whereas a witch would be able to precicely control every action and make double agents out of specific dersite soldiers, especially high ranking ones like Jack noir. They're muscle-oriented commands though, so Jack wouldn't really be all too useful
Overgrowth protection - a death in your session signifies a lack of overproduction in the new Earth you're creating. Authority is steadfast, and evolution is maintained. Unfortunately this means culling is commonplace, but you'll make a hella strong and dignified race. I wouldn't be surprised if the troll session had a heir of Doom
Heir of Void
D A%identally competent - you're the cartoon character who accidentally bumps into someone and sets off a rube-goldberg chain of events that somehow accomplishes whatever you were planning on getting done anyway. This also probably works the same way with whatever skill set you were born with, where you're freakishly talented in some way and have no idea why because you have no actual interest in that area
D-> Trans100cence - okay, actually, transparency. How shitty would it be if you were a god tier heir of void and couldn't turn invisible?
D-> We must go STRONGER DEEPER - we're blitzing chakras with this one yo. You must BECOME nothing and basically just disappear. With no form left to attach itself to, your consciousness will become one with everything. And then it will stop doing that because, honestly? That's a lot to take in. BUT you will find some pretty cool secrets and you can probably reappear wherever they are. You can find game-breaking items nobody even KNOWS about. They're sitting there basically just for you and other void players, but especially you
D-> Trunkbeast in the room - you can make it so that anyone you're not focused on doesn't notice you even if you're in plain view. You don't register in any of their sensory input, so they could be touching you and have no idea they're touching anything. So basically it's how you disappear with your phone so nobody can find you and make you do stuff
D-> Ma% obfuscation - aka the Voidy Thing. You can just blackout the fuck outta everything, like just make people be like fuck man I'm having a hard time existing up a████st this opponent, I mean w███ does th█t even m███████?? ██████████████AAAAHHH█████████████████████FUC██████████████NOOOO█████████████EECCHH█████████████████MMM█████████████████████████OOOOOHHHHHHHHH wow that was weird
There is no more. You get NOTHING
haha, get it? I mean, I suppose that's already a lot though. Moving on
Heir of Space
Background organizer - space players tend to fall back and let more active players take control of what they've provided for them. So do heirs. This creates a problem, no? Yeah, that's a no to your no there. You ever notice how much detail is in the scenery of earth? You look out onto the horizon and the trees stretch on for miles. An artist like me would simply scribble along the horizon to give the illusion of trees, but not this heir. They get ahead by planning ahead, and understand how potential energy works to the extent that they know how to set up everything to fall apart in just the right way. Think alt!Calliope but smaller
Become space - become the presence of space itself. Every part where there's space you can become part of the flow, the presence of volume is your thing. You are shape, size, and mass
declutter - just like every other heir, you spread your aspect all over the place. Luckily, in this case, that's a good thing. At least I think it is? You make everything organized without even realizing it, which now that I think about it might make stuff hard to find. I mean, you're a space player so you should be fine
Frog manifestation - inherit the power of your own universe. By this point you've won the game, so chances are whatever your purpose is extends beyond the scope of your session
Perception merge - create wrinkles or tesseracts in space by focusing on two places at once. Its kinda like instant transmission but for the surrounding world. You can just make planets smash into each other by going cross-eyed
Lost to Time - they will spend so long taking care of their universe that eventually they will see its end, as well as outlive all their friends. This will ensure a better future for sessions in that universe, but yeah still kinda sucks
Heir of Mind
I'm a floating brain - Vinny vinesauce. You get really high or just have a glorious fit of stupidity and convince yourself you're a floating brain, and because of this you can become one. In this mode you have sick sollux-tier psiionic powers but are more physically vulnerable as an exposed brain
Manipulate brain - you can make people feel things and think things. It's not direct mind control, more psychosis-induced illusion of choice. Basically mind control
Brainular erosion - you can cut off the very inception of an idea from someone's consciousness. Like Calliope in candy or Dirk with rose, where you literally make it impossible for them to worry or analyze. Happily sitting ducks
Karmic Braintivity - you can use your brain to entangle and unentangle certain events and paths, making certain characters relevent or irrelevant to whoever you want. You can shape destiny basically
Brainy thing - you're like...hmm. How do I say this? You're like an Eldritch being but...worse?!?? All psychological phenomena manifested in your head shoots out in the form of giant freakish branches covered in eyeballs and mouths and stuff. Touching the construct imbues the victim with a sense of existential dread along with screwing up their sensory channels, causing them to experience really uncomfortable synesthesia. They then become open to the power of suggestion, and the mind construct creates narratives for them, building fake sets for drama that isn't real, throwing the person's entire perception of reality off. You basically become trapped in a freaky world of illusion where you're trying the best you can just to hold onto existence. Utilize that in whatever way you see as useful--probably by killing it, and thus suffering ego death and unlocking some other power, like the power to percieve clearly without thought
Heir of Hope
So your powers are having the best powers and being a natural talent at using those powers. Hope is a very basic aspect once you learn it so this one isn't going to be as expansive as the others
I am the hope of the universe - ally to good, nightmare to your teammates. Honestly, no offense guys, but this is like the least active aspect paired with the class that does the least. Because you literally have to be the hope of your session, there will be a lot of Waiting for Goku™ in your session. You will go super Saiyan, but that doesn't mean everything will necessarily go wrong. In fact, out of all your teammates you probably have the biggest chance of screwing up of all of them
Give up your powers - eventually, you will have the same realization that Goku did at the end of the Cell saga (then forgot in the buu saga); you may be the solution to all of your team's problems, but you're also the cause as well even if you didn't do anything directly. At this point, your denizen will probably give you the option to divvy up the hope between all of your team mates and then you kinda just have no powers anymore
Until then though, you're strong as frick
Okay the end bye bye
Knights next. When? No clue, not making that mistake again

Respect The 10th Doctor (Doctor Who)

Important Note: This respect thread is focused solely on the tenth incarnation of the Doctor, and is only pulling from the TV show. This is because that's all that was requested, and I'd like to preserve my sanity a bit. I've already dedicated myself to one absurdly long series when it comes to respect thread, and I don't need two.
If anyone would like to remake this respect thread with comic/book/audio feats, or make a respect thread for multiple incarnations of the Doctor be my guest. All I can say is good luck.
And now onto the thread. I've done a lot of RTs for my favorite franchise, but now it's finally time to do one for my favorite character.

"I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the Constellation of Kasterborous. I'm 903 years old and I'm the man who is gonna save your lives and all 6 billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?"

The Doctor

Theme
The Doctor is a time lord, the most ancient and mighty civilization in the universe. However unlike most Time Lords he did not want to isolate himself. Thus he stole a Type 40 Tardis (stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space) and went off to explore all of time and space alongside the occasional companion, oftentimes finding himself having to save it as well. This particular incarnation is the tenth incarnation, played by the actor David Tennant. He is still pretty fresh from the Time War, and thus as far as he knows he is the last Time Lord in existence.
Note that the body of this respect thread is focused on the Doctor himself. For feats for the Tardis or his other pieces of equipment you can scroll down or click the following links: Tardis and Handheld Equipment
Index
Feats will be marked based on which episode they come from (hover a feat to see the episode). The list of episodes is as follows.
  • S?E?: Series ? Episode ? (anything referred to as episode 0 is that series' Christmas Special)

A Positional Analysis of the Original Mighty Ducks

Found this on a hockey forum, thought it was great. Credit goes to http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showpost.php?p=77389887&postcount=1
If there is one thing that my time on the internet has taught me, it is that hockey fans are anal. Whether it's people complaining about misspelling of playeteam names, wanting their team to have even handedness of players in defence and attack, an attention to detail and constant need for everything in order seems to permeate every hockey fan's thinking at some point or another, even if it's just in little cases.
With this in mind, The Mighty Ducks is seemingly never off the TV here, and in watching it today I decided to keep a close eye on the players to see their positions. I took note of the roster, every game the team played and every line that was on the ice, where possible. In some cases shots went too quickly to properly see, or they weren't accurate (I definitely saw Germaine passing the puck to someone while the announcer said Averman during the championship game), but for the most part, they're accurate.
It should also be said that I've never played hockey and I'm not even entirely sure what age group pee wee is, or whether or not the level of position switching (spoiler!) is common. So, with all of this in mind, the roster:

00 Guy Germaine (O)

1 Terry Hall (O)

2 Tommy Duncan

4 Dave Averman (O)

5 Tammy Duncan

9 Jesse Hall (O)

11 Dave Karp (O)

18 Connie Moreau (O)

24 Peter Mark (O)

33 Greg Goldberg (O)

44 Fulton Reed

96 Charlie Conway (O)

99 Adam Banks

Those marked with (O) are original Ducks, from the days when they were D5. The first player added is Fulton Reed who is brought in for the third game of the movie. Tammy and Tommy Duncan are recruited before this game as well, but neither player makes an appearance in a game until the championship game. Adam Banks comes in for the last regular season game, where the Ducks win and seal their place in the playoffs.
Bombay's first game as coach against the Hawks sees the introduction of the team's best line overall, the Oreo Line. This has Terry and Jesse Hall at LW and RW, with Guy Germaine at C. Through the rest of the game the only other player to take a faceoff is Connie Moreau. Defence sees the biggest turnover of players, with Conway, Mark, Averman, Karp and Moreau taking shifts on the backend.
In the second game vs. the Jets, the one where they cheat, there are less shots. The Oreo Line again sees time, while Conway, Averman and Moreau are shown on defence.
In the third game vs. the Cardinals, which is Reed's first game and the first game as the Ducks, it's much the same again. The Oreo Line exists, and in the final seconds for Germaine's tying goal (from the faked Reed slapshot to make the other team hide), Reed actually lines up as the right wing in this case. On defence for this game are Moreau, Averman and Karp. Tommy Duncan is also seen on the ice briefly in this game, during the same shift as Karp and Averman - yet Tommy is in a defensive position, while Karp and Averman are definite defensemen - neither play forward at any time.
In the fourth game where the Ducks seal their playoff spot (there's no team name given here), Banks makes his debut. This splits up the Oreo Line, as he centres Jesse Hall and Germaine. On defence are Moreau and Conway. For the winning goal the Ducks pull the goalie putting Reed on as the extra attacker. On the play for this goal Jesse Hall, Averman, Mark, Moreau and Conway are out - the forwards in this case were presumably Conway - Moreau - J. Hall. Moreau switches position throughout the film while Hall is always a winger. Averman and Mark are both consistent defencemen, and while Conway played D only until this point, during the playoffs he begins playing LW, as we'll see shortly.
First game of the playoffs is against the Hornets, and there's not much shown. Banks plays C with J. Hall as his winger again - presumably with Guy Germaine as well. The only D pair shown is Moreau/Conway.
Second game of the playoffs is against the Cardinals again, and here we see Conway shift up to playing forward. He sees ice time on the LW with Banks at C and Germaine at RW - what happened to Jesse Hall, I don't know. Indeed, why Germaine got shifted to make room for Banks at C is beyond me, considering Germaine is the best face-off guy on the team. The only D shown in this game is Averman.
The championship game vs. the Hawks sees probably the most on ice action since the first game against the same team, and everyone sees ice time here bar Karp, who presumably faced a long lay-off after a puck hit him in the head. He did line up for the Ducks during the national anthem though, but he doesn't see any ice time. The lines seem a bit more fluid for this game. Conway/Banks/J. Hall becomes a line, with Germaine going to D with Averman as the top pairing (presumably). Germaine is shown at C again though, without Banks on the ice. Both Halls go back to the wings again - the Oreo Line is reunited, which I'll cover in a minute. On D, Averman, Mark, Reed, Moreau and Germaine are put out at various points. By this game it seems Conway's shift to LW is permanent.
The goals are scored by Banks, Reed, Tammy Duncan, Germaine and Conway.
Conway's breakaway that leads to a penalty shot is notable for having Moreau joining her boyfriend in being one of two players to play three positions. She plays LW on a line with Germaine and Conway, and feeds Conway for his breakaway.
So, the roster again with the assorted positions they play:

00 Guy Germaine (C, RW, D)

1 Terry Hall (RW)

2 Tommy Duncan (D)

4 Dave Averman (D)

5 Tammy Duncan (F)

9 Jesse Hall (LW)

11 Dave Karp (D)

18 Connie Moreau (C, D, LW)

24 Peter Mark (D)

33 Greg Goldberg (G)

44 Fulton Reed (RW, D)

96 Charlie Conway (D, LW)

99 Adam Banks (C)

Moreau and Germaine are the obvious utility players on the team. Reed plays two positions but he's more of a luxury than anything else with his shot. Conway makes the shift to forward once Daddy 2.0 comes along to believe in him. On the whole then we have:
3 centres (Banks, Germaine, Moreau) 3 left wingers (J. Hall, Conway, Moreau) 3 right wingers (T. Hall, Germaine, Reed) 8 defencemen ( Averman, Karp, Moreau, Mark, Reed, Tommy Duncan, Conway, Germaine)
(I listed them roughly in order of regularity/effectiveness- why Karp, Mark and Tommy Duncan play D when they're all about 4 feet tall is beyond me)
Three players, Tammy & Tommy Duncan and Reed, are essentially useless – none of them are able to do anything aside from individual displays of extraordinary skill that makes the other team look the other way while they score. The core of the team is the original Ducks plus Banks.
So, what does all this tell us? It tells us that Germaine was the best forward on the team who was there for the whole thing. Moreau was the best all rounder. Banks was easily the most skilled player, driving the team into and through the playoffs and starting the comeback in the final. Conway is by no means the clutch guy he's thought of, and shouldn't have been made captain. Jesse Hall is essentially Jarome Iginla. Averman and Moreau is the most common D pairing, although Averman seems to get played a lot more than the other defencemen. Presumably because they're all midgets (and Mark is at fault for the Hawks 4th goal in the final, he tries skating out of his own zone with it which leads to a 3 on 0).
I hope you enjoyed this. Remember, if you coach pee wee, don't be like Coach Riley who's spent decades terrorising children. Don't be like Adam Banks' father, who in the biggest game of his son's life sits in the opposite end with the fans of the other team. Teach them to fly!

Idea for Mighty Ducks 4

Kids these days know nothing about life and the way the world works, and I think I know why. Ask yourself this question "When you were young where did you learn all of the critical information about teamwork, politics, love, and the meaning of life?" Stumped?... The answer is "I learned everything I needed to learn from the Mighty Ducks" (Specifically D1 and D2, D3 is good but its mostly just frosting). I propose a new Mighty Ducks, D4 if you will (or D4ever, or knowing hollywood nowadays D3D) to educate our woefully ignorant youth. Picture this... scene Minneapolis, Minnesota, we begin by checking in on Han's Sporting Goods, now run by an aging Gordon Bombay and his wife Mrs. Conway (absolute fox btw). Bombay gets an unexpected letter inviting him to a funeral for one of his former players...Goldberg who passed suddenly from an OD. This tragedy reunites Bombay with many of his former players; Charlie Conway, Germaine, Averman, Julie "The Cat", Robertson, Kenny Wu, Connie (Now Connor after hehis sex change operation), Portman, Mendoza, Banksy, and Russ (None other than Kenan Thompson who is revealed to be gay and living with his partner played by Kel Mitchel). The only one missing is Fulton who went MIA following his graduation from High School. The dignified funeral is interrupted by the evil Russian Youth Hockey Coach (played by Gordon Bombay's real-life brother Charlie Sheen) who reveals that Goldberg owed the Russian Mafia $100k in unpaid drugs and that if Gordon Bombay does not accept his challenge to form a youth team and take on the Russians, the Mafia will kill Goldberg's family. Bombay has no other choice but to field a team of youth's to take on the Russians. Cue training scenes (eggs and all) and inspirational music. The new look Ducks eventually make their way to Russia and take on the evil Russian youth team and are surprisingly successful, managing to build a 2-1 lead into the third period visibly frustrating Coach Sheen who pulls out and activates a detonator which causes the ice to collapse a la Heinz field in The Dark Knight Rises. Sheen then reveals that the game was a sham and was simply a ploy to take Bombay and his new kids Hostage in order to start a new cold war. The only hope for the USA is to take on the Russian national team and win back the Hostages and prevent World War III. Charlie Conway is forced form a new team and he knows exactly where to look reuniting the original Ducks for one last game. The Ducks struggle in the game falling down 0-2 in the second period but are able to tie it up thanks to Connie/Connor's new-found "Man-Strength". Suddenly little Kenny Wu gets Bertuzzi'd by a russian defensemen leaving him paralyzed and causing one member of the audience to charge the ice in rage. That person is revealed to be none other than Fulton who moved to Russia following High School and an unsuccessful stint in the KHL. Mourning the loss of the littlest Bash Brother, the Duck find the necessary motivation and with the reunion of the Bash Brothers are able to set a newly physical tone. The game is still tied with 10 seconds left when Conway calls out the flying V formation, the Ducks are skeptical but they trust their leader and a beautiful pass from Conway sets up Fulton for a devastating slapshot which penetrates the neck of two Russian Defenders along with the goalies glove finding its way gently into the net. DUCKS WIN!!! DUCKS WIN!!! Bombay and the Kids are saved and the film fades to black with a familiar chant...quack...quack...quack...quack quack quack QUACK QUACK QUACK....end scene* Disney, MAKE.THIS.HAPPEN. At the very least we get a Kenan and Kel reunion and best case scenario we get the start of a new Trilogy for Ducks fans new and old...
TL;DR New Mighty Ducks that not only reunites the old gang, but gives Keenan & Kel back to the world along with Charlie Sheen as an evil Russian Hockey Coach
