If your near the disney center, you could probably notice Light sitting on a rooftop or something, she is very cartoony looking, which means she probably doens't blend well with realistic stuff. lol
Poor Light doesn't even know whats going on down there other than its a riot. lol.
Light watched as the guy jumped to save someone who, by all intents and purposes, probably shouldn't have been in that position, then act all tough and jump towards where Light heard the police sirens. Taking a closer look, she saw that it was the disney concert hall, a place she played at only once, though the owners didn't approve of her slapstick shenanigans, probably because they were disney and not warner bros, but she digressed.
"Well, hes got the right idea I suppose. but man does he have a stick up his butt." Light said to herself as she follows the guy, not able to make the leaps he was doing, but was still able to keep to the rooftops all the same. while the other guy got there much faster than she did, she did manage to get there in a timely fasion.
Light observed from the rooftop she was currently on a big riot around the Disney Center, which was undoubtedly on fire. Most of the rioters seemed to be yelling about very hateful things about metas. Surprisingly enough the police weren't doing much of anything, Light would think that they'd at least use some riot grenades or tear gas considering the violent weapons most of these rioters were using, but nope.
"You'd think the LAPD would be all over this. Do they want vigilanties to take all the blame or glory for stopping a violent riot? I dunno anymore...." Light said to herself in annoyance. while she was sure none of the rioters was an actal threat to her, she stayed where she was until things got violent again. If the police did nothing, she'dprobably jump in and so something.

I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say I'm not following you guys so much on the background of the plot. I'mma learn thigns when my character learns things I think, makes reactions more character based instead of author based xD. or is that the other way around? So... is Light near the disney center or something? just wanna make sure on where you think she is located.
Also been playing smash 4. Trying to break that 'pro' barrier and its pretty difficult. But Rosalina/Megaman/Shulk/bowser/ganondorf are great. Seems like Smash 4 has all the characters pretty close to one another. Just gotta get used to those short hop fast fall nairs.... lol And rosalina is really tricky to play in general, but at least shes easier and better than Ice climbers lol.

Man, the headers and stuff for these forums are kinda wonky.
As for mine, I think I already said, but it was something I made out of City of Heroes, or refined there at least. Shame a Super Strength/regen scrapper wasn't possible, so I went with a similar thing, but it was still fun. I miss that game, hope City of titans makes for a good successor.

Los Angeles
In a small comedy club near downtown LA, Light was performing slapstick and other physical comedy for an audience, needing a bit of money. It varied from simple hammer shenanigans, to more complex body dismemberment things, often times calling up someone from the audience to suggest the next thing to happen, all while Saturday morning cartoon music played in the background. She got a modicum of success when it came to laughs, often from the few kids that some parents brought, but most of the parents seemed appalled. As she was giving her closing speech to not do anything they've seen her do ever, pointing out she was sort of a cartoon herself, a loud thump could be heard from outside the building.
As the people filed out, Light decided to take a look. Storing the wooden hammer prop she had used under her dress, she exited out through the back stage and climbed the nearby fire escape to get to the roof of the buildings, then hopped across a few roofs to get to where she heard the sound to see what was going on. While most of the people nearby either didn't hear the thump or care, Light saw a figure on top of the building, looking out over the horizon. "Hey, careful you don't collapse any buildings. I could hear you from the comedy club down the block there!" she said as she approached the young man with the strange muscular body and racing jacket, part of him looking lke some animal.. She then heard police sirens and ambulences in the distance, something she had gotten used to living in this city.
After all, with all the metas, crime had both gone up and down, depending on the goal of said meta. Light herself usually defended the non metas when she could, especially the children who, from the few that knew her, liked her a lot and often saw her shows. So when she heard gunshots or loud noises near any of the places where she was preforming, she oftne checked them out to see what the problem might be. While sometimes it was nothing, often times it was some meta or gang or something, and this was one of those times. The only question was if the meta was friendly or not.

Was I accepted? Gm didn't directly say
I dunno, took me spoiling all the fun and everything to get mine accepted when the power they were hung up on is actually really crappy, so eh.

I'll have to go with Archmage on this one, the potential to kill is very high so I'll only allow it on inanimate objects and can only be shot a certain distance away. Maybe there could be a slight delay as well so he isn't opening portals under people's feet and having another portal at the top of a building?
Considering it took my "break an otherwise balanced power" example to show you that guy was broken, you might as well list out all the powers everyone has and I can tell you how they can be game breakers... Might be a bunch more just sitting there without you noticing.
And for future reference. I like to make my characters based around the City of Heroes style of hero making. One major offense power, one major defense power, a unique power, and maybe a power for travel. In Light's case its Super Strength/Toon Regen/Reality Shift/None I just split up toon physics and toon regen to make them more clear, but they're mostly the same thing.

*le sigh* If she cannot be killed then I'm telling you here and now, I will take more mortal characters as more powerful than her. No way am I going to allow her to not die but also have the capability of seriously injuring/killing someone. That is the very essence of OP.I guess I would allow someone to make portals with limited range (so for example, you can't link a portal with the moon and pull everyone into a vacuum). It depends how it's done but if it's done right, it'll be balanced.
Your still hung up on the idea that "Oh, I can't hit it until it dies, NERF!" instead of "Oh, I hit it til it passes out, now I toss it in a safe and its out of my hair for awhile. I might need to throw it into another safe after awhile and put some effort, but its still defeated." Hell, add insult to injury and put her in an iron maiden, now she is locked up and in agony. Honestly I don't get this "death is the only way" thing.
Seriously I'm giving you the exact methods to beating her, ruining the fun part of thinking, and your still having problems with it, where the only change is a slight change on how you beat her. What if I just gave her Superman powers, but only Invulnerability and Super Strength? It would be the same exact thing but without comedy and I bet you'd have 0 problems with it. oy...
Sorry, just a bit annoyed at the whole thing.
Double post.
