True the powers are not listed under the Powers and Abilities of the Kydian. That's because that only lists the standard racial powers. The Empowered describes a member of the races with extraordinary and abnormal powers. There is nothing in any of the books involved that say that a Kydian could not be empowered or a mutant.
Ok soo .. show me in any Atlantis books .. where those powers are customizable ?

I called it a Kydian out of deference to the fact that you made the original one Kydian without carefully checking over the race. I was actually short 1 attack, 40 sdc and +2 to strike, parry and dodge. As you've laid out the challenge so far, I succeeded.
Provide a canon refrence in any atlantis book where Super Powers are customizable ..
It is a known fact Splugorthian Empires all deal heavily in the Slave markets .
It is also a known fact that the Splugorthian Empires all are cross dimensional empires (or at least some are)
It should be of little to no real leap of faith to know that the Splugorthians can enter into the Heroe's Unlimited Dimension to hunt Super's .. with little to no difficulty ..
Let alone all the "Slaves" the Tarlok are selling to Atlantis (in particular) which would easily be able to account for the majority of .. if not all of the "Super heroes" styled Slaves .
You trying to assume that a Kydian can have the Hereo's Unlimited Powers .. is in fact a LARGER leap of faith .. then saying Atlantis can Produce .. such beings ..
Atlantis imports such beings .. to sell into slavery ..
Matter of fact .. Scraypers the book itself goes on to state .
Scraypers pg129 wrote:Tarlok slaves sold to the Splugorth of Atlantis include Seeronian superhumans, Talus and Seerman, as well as other alien races who have fallen victum to the Tarlok.
So that little ditty right there goes on to further my own side of the debat .. that Atlantis can in fact not create such beings .. and none of thier current "Minions" can in fact manifest such powers ..
At least .. not yet .. I'm sure in time Atlantean Bio-Wizards will be able to create such powers and threw the use of bio-wizardry be able to place them onto other beings .
I think its only a matter of time for them to do such a thing.
